Exploring virtual pathways of immersive experiences in social work through extended reality technology

Ethical, practical, privacy, confidentiality and professional concerns have impeded the broader use of technology in social work practice. The de-humanizing effects associated with technology also raise concern due to the human connections that the profession values. Arguably, th...

PVA/Sodium Alginate/PEDOT:PSS-Based Multifunctional Hydrogels with Rapid Self-Healing, High Stretchability, and Touch-Sensing Capability

Abstract The development of stretchable, self-healing, conducting hydrogels is crucial in wearable electronic devices, health monitoring, strain sensing, biosensing, etc. In this study, we developed a highly stretchable, rapid self-healing, adhesive, conductive hydrogel composite...

Influence of Photonic Crystal Size and Lattice Constant on the Lasing Performance of UV-C PCSELs

Abstract Semiconductor lasers are compact, high-power coherent light sources across a broad wavelength range in the electromagnetic spectrum, including visible and infrared. Despite significant progress, they have yet to achieve the same performance for ultraviolet-C (UV-C) wavel...

The Conversion of Black Chokeberry Condensed Tannins into Anthocyanidins Has a Better Reparative Effect on the Imbalance of Gut Microbiota and Metabolites Caused by a High-Salt Diet

Abstract Black chokeberry is rich in polyphenols, but its high-content polymeric condensed tannins impair gut microbiota, while anthocyanins exert beneficial regulatory effects. This study compared the reparative effects and metabolic changes of black chokeberry extracts (BCE: ri...

Perceptions of artificial Intelligence use in online graduate coursework: a Q methodology study

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming educational practices across all levels, bringing new possibilities and challenges to online graduate programs. With AI tools integrated into coursework, providing automated feedback, personalized resources, and organizational support,...

Wearable AI as a Distributed Personal Computing System Glasses, body attachments, miniature compute modules, and future implantable AI architectures

This proposal develops a wearable AI system as a heterogeneous network of sensing, inference,memory, and interaction devices. Its central software abstraction is a signed, resource-boundedAI capsule containing a compact language model, explicit tools, evidence memory, schedulingr...

CORAL: a machine learning algorithm to identify coronary microvascular disease from doppler coronary blood flow patterns

The direct diagnosis of coronary microvascular disease (CMD) in patients has remained elusive, relying on combinatorial criteria for diagnosis. Recent data in mice suggested that coronary blood flow (CBF) patterns harbor “fingerprints” that may be novel non-invasive indicators of...

Mitochondrial YME1L Restrains GRP75-Dependent ISR Activation to Prevent Podocyte Senescence in Diabetic Kidney Disease

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is characterized by progressive podocyte loss and cellular senescence, but the upstream stress pathways that determine podocyte fate are not fully understood. YME1L expression was markedly reduced in experimental models of DKD and was inversely assoc...

Environmental, developmental, and genetic factors differentially affect rapid ethylene growth response kinetics in dark-grown Arabidopsis thaliana hypocotyls

Studies on dark-grown wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings have demonstrated that the hypocotyls respond to the application and removal of the hormone ethylene with stereotypical growth kinetics. This includes a rapid decrease in growth rate when ethylene is applied that stab...

The Cohesion UFT Research Calculator, Version 6.2

Version 6.2 of the Cohesion UFT Research Calculator changes no number. Everymodule computes what it computed in Version 6.1 [1], and the two corrections of thatversion stand. The revision does three things. It aligns the standing shown on eachmodule with the standing the textbook...

Choroidal Tuberculosis in Miliary Disease: A Multimodal Imaging Spectrum Across Iatrogenic and Disease-Mediated Immunosuppression

Purpose To describe the multimodal imaging findings of choroidal tuberculosis in two cases of miliary tuberculosis occurring in the setting of distinct forms of immunosuppression.Method Retrospective analysis of four eyes with miliary choroidal tuberculosis.Results Case 1 was a y...

Graph-Interaction-Prediction-Based Planning of Safe Flight Intervals and Dynamic 3D Paths for UAVs

To address the challenge of directly translating predicted distributions of dynamic obstacles into three-dimensional (3D) planning constraints during unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flight, we propose Torch GIP-RB-SI-3DA*, a graph-interaction-prediction-based method for planning sa...

RAPNet: Efficient Near-Sensor Radar Data Pre-Processing via DFT-to-GEMM Mapping

Radar is ubiquitous in many domains such as automotive. Modern radar sensors generate large amounts of data that needs to be moved from sensor nodes to Processing Units (PUs). In general, data movement incurs high power consumption and latency. To reduce data movement, processing...

Systematic Evaluation of Washing Conditions to Preserve Low Affinity Binders in DEL Selections

Abstract DNA-encoded chemical libraries (DELs) accelerate ligand discovery by combining combinatorial synthesis with parallel affinity selection of DNA-tagged compounds. Conventional DEL selection protocols involve the immobilization of protein targets on a solid support such as...

E8 Weyl Chirality Predicts Mitochondrial Cristae Resonance Frequencies — E8 Intelligence Research

Extending the phi-ladder principle into bioenergetics, the 240 E8 root vectors partition into chirality-aligned subsets that map onto the curved geometry of mitochondrial inner-membrane cristae. Cristae radius and lamellar frequency (17.8 Hz baseline × φ^n) lock to E8 Weyl orbit...

Reported policy impacts through intersectoral action as a public health practice for health equity: a rapid scoping review

Advancing health equity is a priority for public health. As much of what influences health equity lies outside health systems, working intersectorally to intervene on the structural and social determinants of health is a foundational public health practice to advance this aim. Th...

A palindromicity criterion for the h -polynomials of bipartite edge rings

We study a symmetry problem for the [Formula: see text]-polynomials of edge rings of bipartite graphs. Let [Formula: see text] be a bipartite graph and write [Formula: see text]. We prove that if [Formula: see text] is pseudo-Gorenstein and [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see...

Inadequacy of Two-Drop Studies in Explaining Chaining in Emulsion Systems under AC Electric Fields

Abstract Efficient dewatering of crude oil emulsions is often hindered by droplet chaining, yet the mechanisms responsible for the strong tendency to chain at low electric capillary numbers (Cae ≤ 0.02) remain unclear. Here, we combine high-speed microscopy and numerical simulati...

Inducing Radicality in Gold‐Coordinated Porphyrinoids Through Precise Tip‐Induced Covalent Bond Dissociation

π-Extended porphyrinoids are versatile platforms for the emerging field of π-electron magnetism in conjugated systems. However, achieving controlled bond-selective transformations that enable tuning of their electronic ground states remains a major challenge. Here, we propose a p...
