Engineering Antibody Evolution: Germline‐Targeting HIV Vaccines Reach a Turning Point
This commentary examines three recent Nature studies demonstrating a conceptual shift in HIV vaccine design, demonstrating how germline-targeting HIV vaccines can progress beyond expanding rare broad neutralizing antibody (bnAb) precursors to deliberately guiding their affinity m...

Mobility hinders malaria elimination goals in the Brazilian Amazon
Introduction Human mobility across the Brazilian Amazon—shaped by frontier development, land-use change, mining activity, and climatic shocks—remains a major barrier to malaria elimination. Brazil aims to eliminate Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) by 2030 and Plasmodium vivax (Pv) by 2...

Parliaments play an important role in health governance through legislation, budgeting and oversight. However, their practical influence on health policy decisions remains poorly understood in systems where executive institutions and expert actors dominate policy processes. In Ir...

ABSTRACT Capacity utilization, operationalized as passenger load factor, is the airline industry's primary efficiency metric, yet evidence on its financial return remains inconsistent. We attribute the contradictions to two deficiencies: econometric methods that conflate cross‐se...

The atomic‐scale consolidation of wear debris into a debris‐derived tribological layer is critical to the sliding response of martensitic stainless steel, yet the role of initial microstructure in debris bonding remains elusive. This study elucidates these mechanisms by coupling...

ENTANGLEMENT-BASED QUANTUM COMMUNICATION OVER 144 KM
This article develops an expanded critical–propositional analysis of Rupert Ursin and collaborators’ experiment, “Entanglement-Based Quantum Communication over 144 km,” published in Nature Physics in 2007, in systematic dialogue with the Theory of Objectivity (TO) developed by Vi...

Editing by prompt. How professional editors use ChatGPT when revising business texts
Writing technologies shape writing processes and practices. This was true of word processing, speech recognition, and writing with internet-based sources, each of which changed how writers produced and revised text. Generative AI may have an even more fundamental impact because i...

A few vectors for a mixed folder: a pre-registered measurement of pooled directory embeddings
A folder's metadata is read before its files and holds a few kilobytes. A vector stored there can route a query without opening the folder, and the cheapest is the mean of its files' embeddings. We ask when the mean is enough and what to store when it is not. Under our main visio...

Being and Being This: Haecceity and the Univocal Concept of Being in Duns Scotus
Abstract Haecceity is often understood as a theoretical construct posited by Duns Scotus to explain individuation. This characterization is flawed in two ways: first, it lends haecceity an ad hoc appearance and obscures the fact that it is called for by Scotus’s most basic philos...

FRALEX-TDP-006: A Clamp Is a Load Path Not a Cover
A bolted clamp that has stopped a leak has proved its seal, not its load path. This white paper sets out what a mechanical enclosure must demonstrate before it is accepted as a repair: damage mapped beyond the visible leak, a defined path for every load including pressure thrust,...
