Stage 1 full Manuscript etitled Cognitive Reappraisal and the Growth Mediation of the Relationship between Identity Coherence and Identity Consolidation Abstract Understanding whether cognitive reappraisal and quiet ego growth function as primary underlying mechanisms that transl...

Cross-model metabolomic signatures of dietary anti-inflammatory (poly) phenols in nutraceutical development: a systematic review

Dietary (poly) phenols play a key role in nutraceutical development, due to their diverse positive health benefits such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Although these bioactivities have been widely reported, the consistency of metabolomic signatures in experiment...

Pysammos 1.0.0: a discrete-to-continuum transformation Python tool to analyse the rheology of granular materials

Abstract. Granular flow processes involving different interstitial fluids and coupling regimes are widespread in both natural systems (e.g., landslides, rock avalanches, river sediment transport) and industrial applications (e.g., aggregates in concrete manufacturing, powder tech...

Three-dimensional density and air–rock interface reconstruction with muography: Application to the TianQin tunnel

Muography is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses cosmic-ray muons, commonly divided into transmission (absorption) and scattering muography. For transmission muography, the inversion algorithm critically determines reconstruction quality. However, widely used schemes may p...

An equation involving the 1-Laplacian and a singular nonlinearity

Abstract We prove existence of solutions to a nonlinear degenerate elliptic equation of the form $$ {\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\Delta _{1} u+ \frac{|D u|}{(1-u)^{\gamma }}=g & \hbox {in } \Omega ,\\ u=0 & \text{ on } \partial \Omega , \end{array}\right. } $$ - Δ 1 u + | D u | (...

Technical note: T c 1D – a 1D thermal and thermochronometer age prediction model

Abstract. Thermochronological data are commonly used to study the activity of geological processes over timescales of millions of years. Ages produced by thermochronological measurements, however, are non-unique and do not directly record rates of processes, which has led to the...

A long-term dataset of tropical cyclone radius of maximum wind in the Western North Pacific Based on a Bayesian consensus of multiple estimates

Abstract The radius of maximum wind (RMW) is one of the key parameters for characterizing the structure of tropical cyclones (TCs). Although multiple methods have been developed to estimate the RMW, their estimates can sometimes differ substantially and are not always available,...

Selective Biexciton Generation under Energy-Time Entangled Quantum Light in Quantum Dots

Abstract Quantum light provides opportunities for controlling multiphoton absorption beyond the classical limits. Here, we investigate biexciton generation in nanocrystal quantum dots driven by energy-time-entangled photon pairs generated via spontaneous parametric downconversion...

First-principles transition-state tensorial cluster expansion of vacancy diffusion in Ta–W beyond the kinetically-resolved activation approximation

Predicting diffusion in chemically complex alloys remains challenging due to the strong dependence of migration barriers on local atomic environments. Migration barriers computed using density functional theory and nudged elastic band calculations are represented via a tensorial...

The Shear-Bond Descriptor and Universal Machine-Learning Potential Enable Large-Scale Discovery of Negative Thermal Expansion Materials

Abstract Negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials are crucial for mitigating thermal stresses and designing dimensionally stable components in advanced technologies, yet compounds exhibiting this anomalous behavior remain intrinsically rare. The discovery of novel NTE crystals...

Pineal calcite microcrystals: an overlooked interface between structure and signalling in neural systems

Preprint version of a manuscript submitted to Biological Rhythm Research. This version has not yet undergone peer review.

Tectonics of the Mont Tendre and Mont Risoux (Internal Jura Mountains): mapping and 2D kinematic forward modelling

This study focuses on a new geological cross-section and forward model of the Mont Tendre and Mont Risoux anticlines within the Internal Jura of the Jura fold-and-thrust belt. The results are based on fieldwork, remote sensing, data compilation of previous studies and geological...

High-fidelity entangling gates and nonlocal circuits with neutral atoms

The generation and manipulation of entanglement with low error are essential in quantum information systems. In practice, two-qubit entangling gates constitute a dominant error source, limiting circuit depths and performance in fault-tolerant architectures. Using a neutral-atom q...

Valproic Acid Inhibits Glioma Cell Proliferation by Inducing Neuronal‐Like Differentiation Partly Through HDAC1/REST Suppression

ABSTRACT Inducing differentiation of glioma cells, including glioma stem cells (GSCs), into neuron‐like cells represents a promising therapeutic strategy. Our previous drug repositioning study revealed that histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are potential inducers of glioma ce...

Turbulence and mixing along a microtidal and stratified estuary-shelf transition

Abstract. This study investigates the hydrodynamic and mixing processes at the estuary–shelf transition of a microtidal system, and the buoyant plume generated at the Patos Lagoon mouth (Brazil). Using measurements of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) dissipation (ϵ), current veloci...

A framework for testing the macroeconomic architecture of cooperativism

This article presents a theoretical and methodological framework for the analysis and testing of macroeconomic architectures. It is based on the premise that the persistent divergence between the rate of return on capital (r) and the rate of economic growth (g) is not merely an e...

Interfacial Electric Fields in Water Nanodroplets Are Weakly Dependent on Curvature and pH

Abstract The origin of enhanced reactivity in aqueous microdroplets remains unresolved, with interfacial electric fields (IEFs) frequently proposed as catalytic drivers. Here, we present a quantum-mechanical, spatially resolved characterization of the electric field at air-water...

Constrained curvature flows on pinched Hadamard surfaces

We study area- and length-preserving curvature flows for embedded closed curves on pinched Hadamard surfaces. In the variable-curvature setting, the evolution equations contain additional lower-order terms, so the PDE analysis requires refined comparison arguments and delicate cu...

Photo-downregulation of SIRT4 mitigates aging in mice by enhancing H3K9ac via fatty acid metabolism

Abstract As organisms age, mitochondrial metabolic activity declines, and disrupted gene expression regulation mediated by histone acetylation induces the emergence of senescent physiological phenotypes in tissues. In this study, we found that periodic exposure to red light signi...

$c=1$ strings as a matrix integral

We study the perturbative S S -matrix of the c=1 c = 1 string and show that it admits a description in terms of a double-scaled (0+0)-dimensional matrix integral based on the spectral curve \mathsf{x}(z) = 2\sqrt{2}\cos(z) 𝗑 ( z ) = 2 2 cos ⁡ ( z ) , \mathsf{y}(z)=\sin(z) 𝗒 ( z )...
