Wealth-Driven Bubbles in Speculative Markets

Abstract We develop a behavioral model that generates wealth-driven bubbles in speculative asset markets whose fundamental value is zero. These dynamics arise from a feedback loop between asset prices and speculators’ wealth: rising prices increase their wealth, leading them to d...

Association between meteorological variables and diabetic ketoacidosis admissions: a single-center observational study

Abstract Background Evidence on hot weather and acute diabetes complications comes mainly from temperate, high-income countries; hot semi-arid regions and children are underrepresented. We examined emergency department admissions for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in relation to met...

Humanized anti-BAMBI monoclonal antibody as a novel therapeutic strategy for psoriatic arthritis

Psoriasis (PsO) is a chronic autoimmune skin disease that affects 2% of the global population, with 30% of patients progressing to psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Both conditions are primarily mediated by CD4 + T cells, whose differentiation into distinct subpopulations depends on the...

How Many Crystal Structures Do You Need to Trust Your Docking Results?

Abstract Structure-based drug discovery relies on the prediction of protein-bound poses of new molecule designs, the accuracy of which can impact downstream prioritization. While it is expected that crystal structures of similar molecules would provide the best template for predi...

Interfacial pH Dynamics in Lattice-Nitrogen Protonation to Ammonia

Abstract We recently discovered a new class of nitride MXenes (MNenes) that undergo lattice-nitrogen protonation to form ammonia under cathodic potentials. Unexpectedly, neutral electrolytes outperform both acidic and alkaline media, revealing the critical role of the interfacial...

Underpricing and Overachievement: Celebrating Jay Ritter's IPO Research

ABSTRACT This tribute celebrates Jay Ritter's scholarship on the occasion of his election as Fellow of the American Finance Association. Best known for documenting and IPO underpricing, hot issue markets, and the long‐run underperformance of new issues, Jay has shaped how academi...

Capitalizing consumer school ratings into residential listing prices: evidence from Greater Houston

Purpose This paper aims to estimate how much of a consumer-facing school rating is capitalized into the price at which a home is offered for sale and to test whether that rating displaces the official state accountability score in a large metropolitan market that has received lit...

Lysosomal Expansion Compartments Mediate Zinc and Copper Homeostasis in Caenorhabditis elegans

Abstract Zinc is an essential transition metal that participates in many biological processes. In C. elegans, excess zinc is stored in lysosomes in intestinal cells; this process involves increasing the expression of the zinc transporter CDF-2 and remodeling of lysosomes characte...

Overlap of Subcutaneous Adiposity Across World Health Organization Body Mass Index-for-Age Categories and Anthropometric Correlates of Handgrip Strength in Children Aged 6–12 Years Participating in Organised Club Sport in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Background/Objectives: Body mass index (BMI) is the most widely used screening tool in paediatric nutritional assessment, but it does not measure body fat directly and conveys no information on muscular development. We aimed to (i) compare the sum of six skinfolds (Σ6ST) across W...

Sweet syndrome and thyroid diseases: a case-based review of a possible association

Sweet syndrome, also known as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is a rare dermatological condition characterized by the abrupt onset of tender, erythematous skin lesions, often presenting with fever and systemic inflammation. It is commonly associated with infection, maligna...

Enhanced dielectric performance of polypropylene for hvdc cable insulation via 4‑allyloxybenzil grafting for multiscale structural modulation

Impact Polypropylene Copolymer (IPC) is a promising candidate for HVDC cable insulation, yet the lack of rigorous, quantitative structure-property correlations limits its performance optimization. In this study, a functional monomer, 4-Allyloxybenzil (AOB), containing benzene rin...

The Recursive Relationship Between Technology and Regulations: Managing Landscape Frictions in the Financial Services Industry

Firms increasingly rely on information technology (IT) to meet regulatory demands, yet information systems research typically examines organizational responses to individual regulations. This leaves unclear how firms adapt when multiple regulations with fragmented purposes simult...

A multi-dimensional approach to customer advocacy: examining the role of hotel components through the lens of TRA and SOR theories

Purpose This study aims to explore the components of hotels to understand how customers perceive the experience of the service offerings and to examine differences in the perceptions of customers related to the hotel components that influence customer experience, positive emotion...

Self-modulation of photoemission at the picosecond time scale

The pulse response of negative electron affinity GaAs photocathode over a wide range of quantum efficiencies has been measured. Low quantum efficiencies, where an intense excitation is needed, may lead to rapid dynamic change of the transport conditions on a time scale of a few p...

Boosting Aggregation-Induced Electro-Chemiluminescence in TPE-Based Macrocycles via Supramolecular Confinement: A Host−Guest Recognition Platform for 3-Nitrotyrosine Biosensing

Abstract Although aggregation-induced electrochemiluminescence (AIECL) holds significant promise for signal amplification, its practical advancement is impeded by the intrinsically low ECL efficiency of conventional AIEgens and the stochastic nature of aggregate formation. Herein...

Deep learning applications in parasite microscopy: A scoping review

Background Parasitic diseases remain a significant contributor to the global burden of disease and conventional microscopy remains the gold standard for parasite detection. However, it is labour-intensive and dependent on skilled personnel, leading to variability in diagnostic ac...

A glial perspective on the neuropsychiatric effects of cannabis in adolescence and aging

Cannabis use is increasing across a broad range of ages as legal access and social acceptance continue to expand. Its neurobiological effects, however, are unlikely to be uniform across the lifespan. Adolescent cannabis use is associated with later psychiatric and neurocognitive...

PROSAIL-DNN-TL: A Hyperspectral Inversion Framework for Winter Wheat Leaf Chlorophyll Content Based on Fine-Tuned Transfer Learning

Accurate and efficient estimation of leaf chlorophyll content (LCC) is essential for crop physiological monitoring and precision agriculture. Current remote sensing approaches for LCC estimation mainly rely on machine learning and deep learning methods, which exhibit strong nonli...

Triphenylphosphonium compounds preferentially inhibit long-chain fatty acid oxidation in cardiac mitochondria

Triphenylphosphonium (TPP) is a lipophilic molecule widely used in targeting compounds into the mitochondria. Despite its wide use, TPP has known mitochondrial toxicity, the characteristics of which are not completely defined. In this study, we sought to determine if the effects...

Inter-strain diversity among coastal picocyanobacteria across salinity gradients

Strains of the picocyanobacteria genera Synechococcus and Cyanobium occur in cold-temperate zones, from coastal waters to the open ocean, spanning a range of salinities and water depths. To thrive across different salinities, picocyanobacteria strains acclimate internal turgor by...
