Netlist Reverse Engineering Practice: Effects of Prior Knowledge, Cognitive Abilities, and Personality Traits

Netlist Reverse Engineering (NRE) is a critical human-computer interaction task for identifying security threats at the microchip level. Yet, little is known about how individual factors shape NRE performance and practice effects. We conducted a mixed experimental and quasi-exper...

Ultrafast Solid‐State Synthesis of Chevrel Phases for Microstructure‐Enabled Thermoelectric Transport Optimization

ABSTRACT Chevrel phases are promising medium‐ to high‐temperature thermoelectrics owing to their structural stability and intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity, yet prolonged high‐temperature synthesis causes grain coarsening and limits microstructural control. Here, we...

Critical care and the law: Pertinent cases from 2025

This review by the Legal and Ethical Advisory Group (LEAG) follows the 2024 summary, reviewing the important legal cases and Prevention of Future Deaths reports (PFDs) ruled or issued in 2025 that are pertinent to Intensive Care Medicine. The legal cases include Human Rights case...

A deep generative adversarial framework with rat-optimized feature selection for efficient intrusion detection in large-scale cloud network traffic environments

Abstract Cloud computing is a fundamental paradigm in modern computing; however, its distributed and multi-tenant nature increases exposure to cyber threats, making effective intrusion detection essential. Despite recent advances in artificial intelligence–based intrusion detecti...

Acid Mine Drainage Treatment Using a Sulfidogenic Bioreactor and Selective Two-step Precipitation of Multiple Metal(loid)s

Abstract This study investigated the treatment of acid mine drainage (AMD) and the precipitation of metals and metalloids using sulfur species delivered in gaseous and liquid forms. An up-flow sulfidogenic reactor was operated for 58 days to obtain stable sulfate-reducing conditi...

The Coxeter Group [5,3,3,3] Has No Torsion-Free Subgroup of Index 14400: A Computer-Assisted Result Related to Problem 4.124 of the K3 List

Problem 4.124 of the K3 problem list asks whether a hyperbolic integer homology 4-sphere exists, whether an arithmetic one exists, and more generally whether there is a closed hyperbolic 4-manifold with Euler characteristic 2. By a theorem of Belolipetsky, an orientable arithmeti...

Co-designing deployment strategies for disease-resistant cultivars: Insights from a participatory landscape-scale modeling study with a wine cooperative

We developed, assessed and compared strategies for deploying grapevine cultivars resistant to downy mildew in partnership with a wine cooperative in France. In four action-research workshops, cooperative managers and multidisciplinary researchers jointly designed six feasible dep...

A Job Demands-Resources Perspective on Science Communication: How Public Engagement Shapes Scientist Communicators’ Well-Being

Scientists are increasingly expected to engage public audiences, yet little is known about how this work shapes their well-being. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with scientist communicators and guided by the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, this study examines demands a...

Self-removal of suprapubic catheter after retzius sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: A feasibility audit

Introduction and objectives: We conducted a prospective audit to evaluate the feasibility of suprapubic catheter self-removal and what factors can interfere with the decision of self-removal, in post RS-RARP patients. Material and methods: Forty-four patients had a SPC inserted f...

Pre-University Educational Pathways and Mathematical Literacy Among Prospective Elementary Teachers: A Multidimensional Analysis

This quantitative study examines the association between pre-university educational pathways and mathematical literacy among 227 first-year prospective elementary teachers at a Spanish university. Although experienced teacher educators are informally aware of this association, it...

On the Ergodic Geometry of Scale Generators: Unitary U(1) Representations, Winding Invariants, and Kronecker Flows of Fundamental Transcendentals

### Overview & Epistemological Formulation In this paper, we resolve the nature of imaginary powers of fundamental constants ($e^i$ and $\pi^i$) by transforming what has historically been treated as an empirical, static subtraction of decimals into an exact, continuous dynamical...

Environmental and Preliminary Economic Assessment of Integrated Resource Recovery from Spent Fluid Catalytic Cracking Catalysts

Abstract This study evaluates an integrated resource-recovery route for spent fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts, consisting of alkaline roasting, water leaching, adsorption/desorption, precipitation recovery, and leaching-residue valorization. Using the treatment of 1 t of...

The OI-to-Price Divergence: When Open Interest and Spot Disagree

The level of open interest shows where positions sit. The change in open interest shows whether a price move is being funded by new positions or is only old positions repricing. When price and that change disagree, the move deserves less trust. AION Analytics research note. Canon...

The Contribution of Bleeding Assessment Score and Pictorial Blood Loss Assessment Chart to the Diagnosis of Von Willebrand Disease in Adolescent Girls With Iron Deficiency Anemia

Background: Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is common among adolescents and is an important driver of iron deficiency anemia. However, clinicians under-recognize inherited bleeding disorders. Iron deficiency transiently elevates von Willebrand factor (VWF) and factor VIII levels,...

What Do Tests Really Assess? Discrepancies and Convergences Between the UEF-1 Self-Report and Laboratory Measures of University Executive Functions

This research evaluated the UEF-1 scale, designed to measure applied executive functions (EF) in Spanish-speaking university students, by comparing it with traditional laboratory tests. Study 1, with a sample of 100 Cuban students, found mostly non-significant correlations betwee...
