Associations of Triglyceride Glucose Index-related Obesity Indices, Genetic Susceptibility, and the Risk of Venous Thromboembolism: Insights from a Prospective Cohort Study

Abstract The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and related obesity metrics are commonly recognized as important indicators of insulin resistance. However, the associations of several novel TyG-related obesity indices developed with venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk and their inter...

Unveiling the Role of the Soil Matrix in Trichloroethylene Degradation by Ball-Milled Sulfidated Microscale Zero-Valent Iron

Abstract Ball-milled sulfidated microscale zerovalent iron (S-mZVIbm) is highly effective in degrading trichloroethylene (TCE) in anoxic water. This study investigated its performance and soil-mediated regulation in a soil-water mixed system (SWMS) using two natural soils. The re...

Domain‐Wall Circulation Gating and Pinning via Compositional Engineering of Cylindrical Nanowires

ABSTRACT Spintronic devices based on cylindrical magnetic nanowires have been proposed as a route toward three–dimensional (3D) information storage and processing by harnessing the controlled motion of domain walls (DWs). In this geometry, the Bloch‐point wall (BPW) is the charac...

Agricultural Profitability and Productivity of the Rice-Wheat Cropping System in India’s Smallholder Environment

Kleinbäuerliche Betriebe erzeugen rund 70 % der Nahrungsmittel im Globalen Süden und sind aufgrund ihrer großen Zahl zentral für die regionale Ernährungssicherheit. Sie bewirtschaften Flächen von weniger als zwei Hektar, die häufig fragmentiert sind, und verfügen über begrenzte f...

In Situ Formation of a Hybrid Alloy‐Fluoride Interphase for Stable High‐Capacity Phosphorus Anodes

ABSTRACT Phosphorus‐based anodes are promising candidates for next‐generation high‐energy‐density lithium‐ion batteries owing to their high theoretical capacity. However, their practical application is severely limited by drastic volume variation and unstable solid electrolyte in...

From Pharmacological Trigger to Manic State: Convergent Neurobiological Mechanisms of Drug-Induced Mania

Manic and hypomanic states are precipitated by pharmacologically diverse agents, including corticosteroids and antidepressants, and carry serious clinical consequences. Since the last cross-class review in 1995, the literature has fragmented into class-specific reviews lacking a...

Notch-hedgehog antagonism regulates stem cell niche formation through an E2-E3-E3 ubiquitin module

Abstract Distinct microenvironments, including the stem cell niche and differentiation zone, promote stem cell self-renewal and progeny differentiation, yet how these domains are established remains unclear. In the developing Drosophila ovary, we show that Notch activation silenc...

Electroosmotic Flow Modulation and Dispersion of Uncharged Solutes through a Reservoir-Connected Soft Nanochannel

Abstract The present study investigates the modulation of the electroosmotic flow (EOF) and the transport and dispersion of uncharged solutes in a reservoir-connected soft nanochannel containing different electrolytes. The nanochannel walls are charged and coated with a fluid- an...

Supporting Multi-Step Workflows with LLM-Based Web Automation using Agentic Context Engineering and Selective Multimodal Reasoning

[Background.] Multi-step web workflows, such as comparing offers across portals, cost people much time. Scripts must be written for each site and break when pages change; agents built on large language models can pursue a goal stated in natural language on unseen sites. Current a...

Impact of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) intra-articular injection on functioning and kinematic analysis in knee osteoarthritis patients: A prospective observational study

Purpose Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease primarily affecting elderly, with the knee being the most involved joint. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has shown promise in OA management. Our study aimed to descriptively characterize changes over time in performa...

A Pilot Machine-Learning Framework for Cumulative Antecedent Rainfall Threshold in Landslide Assessment Along Jalan Simpang Pulai–Blue Valley, Malaysia

Rainfall-induced landslides along Malaysian highway cut slopes are commonly evaluated using empirical thresholds, with limited consideration of cumulative antecedent rainfall. This study evaluates a machine-learning rainfall threshold for five documented shallow-slope failures al...

Coping with Cultural Transition: A Psycho-social Model of Acculturative Stress in Indian Internal Migrants

Migration is the most noticeable and remarkable fact in the growth of cities, and it is also considered the root cause of urbanization in the world. Major Indian cities have reported a 30%–40% increase in population due to migration. In this article, the impact of cultural intell...

Metabolomic profiling and antioxidant activity of Araucaria bidwillii leaves and twigs: a comparative study of biflavonoids content

Abstract This study compared the metabolite composition and antioxidant capacity of acetone and methanolic extracts from the leaves (LAc and LMet) and twigs (Tac and TMet) of Araucaria bidwillii , with particular emphasis on biflavonoid profiling and quantification. LC-MS/MS anal...

Measurement Entropy and Conditional Information in Time-Reversed Young Interferometry

Time-reversed Young (TRY) interferometry holds a detector channel fixed while a source coordinate is scanned or programmed. We describe this measurement through a single accepted source–detector probability law obtained from scalar Fresnel propagation, the programmed source prior...

Physics-informed single-frame end-to-end learning for denoising and background removal in fluorescence imaging

Fluorescence microscopy is often limited by low signal-to-noise ratios arising from the finite number of detected photons and by an out-of-focus background that obscures structural details. Here, we introduce a physics-informed end-to-end learning framework that enables denoising...

DPSM: Fine-Grained GPU Resource Management via Kernel Interception and TPC Control

Modern deep learning workloads are increasingly co-located on a single GPU to improve hardware utilization, yet existing MPS-based sharing mechanisms expose concurrency without providing QoS-aware control. Deadline-constrained training jobs can suffer severe slowdown when co-exec...

Integrated allometric scaling, physicochemical profiling, and random forest modelling for predicting antioxidant compounds in sweeteners from overripe Malaysian bananas

Abstract Bananas ( Musa spp. ) are rich in bioactive compounds that are essential for health, including support for digestion, immunity, and sustained energy. This research compared the nutritional profiles, physicochemical properties, determinants of antioxidant compounds, and a...

Investigating sociocultural risk factors for depressive symptoms among British South Asian mothers with toddlers in the United Kingdom

Abstract Background South Asian women living in Western countries are at increased risk of experiencing maternal depression. While postnatal depression has been widely documented among South Asian women, less is known about how depressive symptoms are experienced and maintained b...
