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....

The transition current associated with the N(1520) longitudinal amplitude is examined using a Patterson-function approach applied directly to empirical GC transition form-factor data. Because the reconstruction is based solely on experimental input, the resulting spatial distribu...

Abstract Background: Hostile surgical fields are irradiated, infected, or previously operated regions, characterized by fibrosis, loss of normal anatomical planes, and reduced tissue resilience. In such settings, critical structures may lie immediately beneath adherent or necroti...

Abstract Resource use links ecological context to organismal performance, yet whether dietary breadth or trophic position is more closely associated with physiological state in wild birds remains unclear. We used a natural trophic gradient in a sympatric passerine assemblage to t...

Abstract Background Anaplastic ependymoma is a rare and aggressive central nervous system malignancy for which effective systemic treatment options are limited. Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), an antibody–drug conjugate targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), h...

Abstract Background Bacteremia is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication in patients with cancer, requiring prompt recognition and early initiation of treatment. However, early identification of bacteremia in febrile cancer patients presenting to the emergency de...

Harnessing macrogenomics to study changing marine ecosystems under global climate change
Abstract Climate change is reshaping marine ecosystems at an accelerating pace. Predicting its impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functions is therefore crucial to developing effective conservation strategies. Integration of genomic tools, habitat modelling and simulations off...

Primary and Secondary Emissions from In-Service Compacted Hot Mix Asphalt Pavement
Abstract Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) pavement has been proposed as a significant urban source of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and intermediate volatility organic compounds (IVOCs), yet its true atmospheric impact remains poorly understood. In this study, emissions were measured fr...

Abstract Mike Whelan was a physicist with outstanding practical and theoretical skills. He employed them boldly in his key role of bringing to fruition and further development the idea of imaging dislocations and other crystal defects with the electron microscope. His work not on...

Abstract Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), also referred to as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory condition that, when affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), can lead to severe changes, including condylar resorption. This paper aims to re...

Post-Traumatic Acetabular Labral Tear Following Motor Vehicle Collision
A woman in her 30s developed persistent anterior left hip and groin pain and mechanical catching after a side-impact motor vehicle collision. Initial emergency department radiographs were negative for fracture or dislocation. Ongoing hip flexion-related pain with reduced internal...

Clinical features of cough syncope: a systematic review
Abstract Background Cough syncope (CS) is a rare subtype of syncope that remains underrepresented in evidence-based medicine. We aimed to characterize the clinical features of CS, with the aim of improving recognition and optimizing management strategies. Methods We present five...

Computational identification of potential inhibitors for chikungunya virus nsP2pro
Abstract Chikungunya virus remains a crucial global health issue with no approved therapy available. In particular, the viral replication is associated with the non-structural protein 2 protease (nsP2pro). In this study, possible inhibitors for nsP2pro from the National Cancer In...

Abstract Background Schizophyllum commune is an environmental basidiomycete increasingly recognized as an opportunistic pathogen in humans and domestic animals, whereas infections in wildlife remain rarely reported. In marine mammals, fungal infections involving the central nervo...

A constructional theory of sets, parts and relations
Abstract We develop a constructional approach to ontology, focusing on sets, parts and relations. On this conception of ontology, one starts with some constructors and an initial collection of objects. Then, new objects emerge by construction, that is, from the application of con...

Rigidity and Nonrigidity of Smooth Tight Surfaces
We study global isometric rigidity of smooth embedded tight surfaces in Euclidean three-space when zero is a regular value of the Gaussian curvature. We construct noncongruent isometric embeddings in every positive genus. In the same range of genera, we construct globally rigid r...
