The transbilayer distribution of cholesterol in the plasma membrane is unresolved in that diverse analyses have yielded contradictory results. We now propose a model based on a novel mechanism. It assumes that (a) sterols associate stoichiometrically with phospholipids and (b) th...

Forest-to-pasture conversion can alter soil properties, forage composition, and microbial communities, but whether these changes are associated with bovine periodontitis remains unclear. We compared eight pasture systems in the Western Brazilian Amazon classified by high or low h...

A microfluidic vacuum-pressure-driven device for liquid viscosity measurement
Abstract A vacuum-driven microfluidic viscometer is proposed for measuring dynamic viscosity using only 6 µL of sample. The device consists of a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microchannel with a rectangular cross-section of 200 μm × 450 μm and a total length of 26 cm, connected...

Dynamic Mean-Variance Asset Allocation in General Incomplete Markets
Abstract. This paper studies dynamic mean-variance (MV) asset allocation problems in general incomplete markets. Besides the conventional MV objective on a portfolio’s terminal wealth, our framework can accommodate running MV objectives with general (nonexponential) discounting f...

Zn-Modified MoS2 Catalyst for Efficient CO2 Hydrogenation to CH3OH
Abstract Hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to methanol (CH3OH) using hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources is a promising pathway for carbon recycling and energy storage. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), with its typical layered structure, holds significant industrial p...

Observation of relativistic bond weakening in seaborgium hexacarbonyl
Abstract The seventh row of the periodic table of the elements has been completed with the discovery of the five heaviest elements from flerovium (Fl, Z = 114) through oganesson (Og, Z = 118) 1 . Chemical properties of the superheavy elements (SHE, Z ≥ 104) are unique owing to th...

Evaluation of Oral Health in Early Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease
Background/Objectives: Oral health may be affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD) through mechanisms including uremic toxin accumulation, immune dysregulation, and treatment-related factors, although these relationships remain poorly understood. This study aimed to describe oral...

Parameter determination method for model of ZnO varistors based on dynamic V-I characteristics
This study investigates the dynamic volt-ampere characteristics and residual voltage responses of ZnO varistor of five different sizes under various impulse waveforms, including 8/20 μs lightning current, 30/80 μs operating wave, 1/5 μs steep wave, and 2 ms square wave impulses....

Distributionally-robust heterogeneous graph neural networks via relation-aware grouping
Out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization remains a key challenge for heterogeneous graph neural networks (HGNNs), which often exhibit substantial performance degradation under real-world distribution shifts. While Group Distributionally Robust Optimization (GroupDRO) has proven e...
