Abstract Genetic diversity is critical for species’ persistence and for preserving biodiversity. Regions with extreme elevation gradients, including ‘sky island’ systems, are predicted to restrict gene flow owing to dispersal barriers between high-elevation habitat patches (isola...

Abstract Coccolithophores are unicellular marine phytoplankton that produce complex and intricately shaped mineralized scales called coccoliths. Coccoliths are produced in an intracellular vesicle where crystal nucleation occurs, from which several individual calcite units develo...

Who mimics nature? Disciplinary asymmetry in biomimetic and bioinspired research teams
Abstract Biomimetics is generally viewed as inherently interdisciplinary, yet the disciplinary composition of biomimetic research teams has not been systematically quantified. We analysed 74 407 biomimetics-related publications from the past two decades and classified 436 010 aut...

Abstract Background In the health professions, artificial intelligence simulation-based experiences (AI-SBEs) are increasingly used to evaluate learner performance and provide feedback. Benefits of AI-SBEs include providing instantaneous feedback, allowing more practice opportuni...

Evolution expresses the second law of thermodynamics in action
Abstract Evolution through natural selection has long been considered unique to biological systems, yet similar patterns emerge from physical, chemical, technological, economic and social processes. Skewed distributions, often near-lognormal, and sigmoidal courses, often with a p...

Abstract Background Chronic nonspecific upper urinary tract infections (CNUTIs), including chronic pyelonephritis, are characterized by recurrent inflammation, persistent urinary abnormalities, and variable responses to conventional diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Standard...

Effect of generative artificial intelligence training on the competencies of border guard agents.
This study assessed whether a generative artificial intelligence training model develops the professional competencies of border guard agents in training more than traditional instruction. A quasi-experimental pretest and posttest design was applied to 168 agents at a training sc...

Mapping generative AI governance readiness in Kurdistan Region universities
Abstract Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping higher education by challenging established ideas of plagiarism, authorship, academic integrity, assessment, disclosure, digital literacy, and institutional responsibility. Many universities already have plagiarism...

Predictable Information Across Galactic and Cosmological Scales: An Inquiry
A previous rotation-curve study found that galaxy discrepancies contain predictive information that transfers robustly across galaxies. We ask whether comparable organization appears in the large-scale peculiar-velocity field. Using 36,506 Cosmicflows-4 galaxies within 270 Mpc, w...

Abstract Purpose Forward head posture (FHP) is commonly assessed using isolated cervical measures, potentially overlooking its relationship with global sagittal alignment. This study introduces the Global Sagittal Deviation Index (GSDI-5), a composite measure integrating multireg...

Cypripedium singchii (Orchidaceae) is an important orchid species. This project reportedthe chromosome level reference genome of Cypripedium singchii based onPacBio, lllumina and Hi-C data. These data are helpful to clarify the ecologicalfunction of Cypripedium singchii and the e...

Abstract Flexible social comparisons require transforming information across reference frames, a process thought to depend on map-like computations in the hippocampal formation. Previous work has shown that egocentric social biases—an implicit reliance on self-knowledge—emerge wh...

Descriptions of abandoned ruins abound across the pages of travelogues created by European visitors to Ottoman Anatolia during the long nineteenth century. Yet, remnants of ancient architecture were often less devoid of inhabitation than these authors presented. Some of the most...

Evolution of Research on Satellite-Based Monitoring for Algal Blooms in the African Great Lakes
Abstract Algal blooms pose significant environmental and economic challenges worldwide. As their impact increases, there is an urgent need to improve forecasting models that predict their occurrence, development, and trends. Understanding recent research developments in satellite...

What Persists Matters More Than What Changes
A reusable world model need not reproduce every future observation exactly. What matters is which distinctions remain stable when forecasts, tasks, or trained instances change. Independently trained models may give different values yet preserve the same relation among matched int...

On the potential for crop yield increases to spare land: the role of rebound effects
Abstract This essay discusses the economic mechanisms determining when yield growth spares land and when it drives expansion. The source of growth matters: technical change raises output with a fixed set of inputs, lowering production costs, whereas intensification requires more...

Abstract Background ACL rupture is a common, debilitating injury in young, active individuals. Some individuals sustain ACL injury while others do not, despite similar activity exposure. Young, active females have more than twice the ACL injury risk of males. Interactions among t...

Abstract Almost all countries require banks to file suspicious transaction reports (STRs) to help authorities detect and prosecute money laundering. The number of STRs filed in a country is an often-cited metric in international anti-money laundering (AML) compliance evaluations....
