Daily Workload and Evening Detachment: Impact of Supervisor Support for Recovery

Our study examines the role of leaders in employee recovery. We hypothesize that supervisor support for recovery (between-person) will buffer the impact of daily workload (within-person) on evening psychological detachment (within-person). We tested this hypothesis with a 7-day e...

Grandiose and vulnerable narcissism as predictors of manipulation tactics

Narcissism is associated with the manipulation of interpersonal encounters to fulfil specific interpersonal needs. Grandiose and vulnerable narcissism are driven by different interpersonal needs, yet it is unclear whether these differences appear in their manipulation tactics. Th...

Early structured rehabilitation following open retromuscular incisional hernia repair: a prospective randomized controlled trial

Incisional hernias remain a common postoperative problem for general surgeons. In recent years, early postoperative rehabilitation has gained increasing attention as a potential strategy to enhance recovery following abdominal wall reconstruction. This study aimed to evaluate whe...

Tetranuclear Copper Cluster of N2O Reductase: A Distinctive Copper–Sulfur Metallocluster

Abstract Copper is an essential element involved in several cofactors and organometallic compounds used as catalysts. Although most biological copper centers contain one to three copper ions, nature has evolved a unique tetranuclear copper–sulfur cluster that has attracted the at...

Time series modeling and anomaly removal for Wikipedia web traffic prediction

Abstract Accurate forecasting of web traffic is essential for a web service provider who wants to manage infrastructure resources and decision-making processes. Internet users rely heavily on Wikipedia articles for information, and over the past few years, the usage of Wikipedia...

Fungal Phosphatase-Dependent Induction of Host Cell Pyroptosis by Candidalysin

Abstract Fungal infections pose a major public health threat and can cause host cell damage through diverse forms of regulated cell death. However, our understanding of how fungal pathogens interact with host to elicit pyroptosis remains in its infancy. Here, we show that candida...

Thinking like Luhmann: problem construction and theory-building

Purpose This essay examines how Niklas Luhmann built theories by reconstructing his work as a mode of problem construction. It argues that Luhmann's originality lay less in providing new answers than in transforming what counted as a problem in the first place. Design/methodology...

Maximal permanents, the singular locus of the permanent, and its strength

We prove that for every k ≥ 1 the k+1 maximal permanents of a generic k×(k+1) matrix generate a radical complete intersection of codimension k+1. This establishes, in a stronger form, a conjecture of Boralevi, Carlini, Michałek and Ventura. It also shows that the ideal of maximal...

A 1-Byte Deterministic Acoustic Interface for Ultra-Low-Latency Edge Computing: Hardware-Native Phonetic Encoding via 2KB On-Chip L1 SRAM

Contemporary deep neural speech architectures rely heavily on extensive subword tokenizers (e.g., Byte-Pair Encoding) and multi-byte Unicode International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) representations. These conventional pipelines impose substantial DRAM bus contention, multi-megabyte...

Drivers governing the seasonality of new particle formation in the Arctic

New particle formation (NPF) is the phenomenon wherein gaseous precursors form critical clusters of barely a few nanometres in diameter, after which, under favourable conditions, these particles can grow to climate-relevant sizes. Here we present measurements from 2022 to 2024 of...

Real-world event-free survival with neoadjuvant pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy and adjuvant pembrolizumab in early-stage triple-negative and estrogen receptor-low, HER2-negative breast cancer

Neoadjuvant pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy and adjuvant pembrolizumab has become a standard treatment for patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) based on the KEYNOTE-522 trial; however, real-world data on event-free survival (EFS) remain limited. We aimed...

Draft genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii ABMTRAAP01M strain isolated from a dairy cattle farm environment in Bangladesh

ABSTRACT We report the draft genome sequence of an Acinetobacter baumannii ABMTRAAP01M, isolated from the manure of a dairy farm in Mymensingh city, with a total length of 3,431,271 bp, 10 antimicrobial resistance genes, and 29 predicted virulence factor genes.

Lifetime Distributions in Galactic Civilization Networks: A Hierarchy of Moments and Connectivity Thresholds

The Drake equation uses only the mean lifetime of a communicating civilization. Do contact and connectivity depend on the mean alone? Here the single lifetime and communication range of earlier work become a joint distribution at fixed mean. Abundance depends on the first moment...

The effects of a multimodal intervention for optimising sleep and internalising symptoms in young adults during British Army Infantry Basic Training.

STUDY OBJECTIVES: We assessed the effectiveness of a multimodal sleep intervention on subjective sleep outcomes, including insomnia symptoms, with secondary analysis of internalising symptoms in Infantry trainees. METHODS: A two-arm parallel design was employed (baseline: weeks 1...

Tidal Deformations and Analytical Derivation of Surface Gravity for Deformed Horizons

We present an analytical derivation of the horizon-averaged surface gravity κ(τ ) for anaxisymmetrically deformed topological core under the horizon within an adopted metric de-formation model. By evaluating a quadrupolar perturbation governed by the Legendre poly-nomial Y20(θ),...

Thalassinoides Ichnofabric Architecture as Complementary Evidence for Sequence‐Stratigraphic Interpretation in Carbonate Ramp Systems: Insights From the Mississippian Mobarak Formation (Alborz, Iran)

ABSTRACT This study integrates ichnological, sedimentological, and sequence‐stratigraphic observations to investigate depositional and substrate changes within the Mississippian Mobarak Formation carbonate ramp in the Alborz Basin, Iran. Four stratigraphic sections were examined,...

Direction-aware structural and semantic alignment for SAR-optical image matching

Cross-modal image matching between synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and optical images is an essential task for applications such as change detection and scene understanding. However, it remains challenging due to significant structural distortions and semantic inconsistencies aris...

The Vacuum as a Hand-off of Information

This paper states that space is not a substance. It is the hand-off of information across the vacuum, the same passage by which one trapped gradient writes and the next hold receives. What is called the quantum foam is that traffic. A virtual pair is one hand-off, both directions...

Study on the influence of different heating modes on aerosol release stability of heated tobacco products

Abstract The puff-by-puff release stability of aerosols generated by heated tobacco products (HTPs) is a key factor influencing consumers’ sensory experience. This study systematically investigates the effects of different heating modes and the compatibility between heated tobacc...

Ecological connections and territorial planning: potentialities and contradictions

Ecological connectivity is recognized in the literature as a vital factor for reestablishing biodiversity patterns and for mitigating the impacts of climate change. In 2017, the 20 municipalities of the Metropolitan Region of Campinas (RMC) in southeastern Brazil entered into a T...
