Bioelectronic interfaces must mechanically conform and adapt to biological tissues while maintaining stable electrical performance during motion and deformation. Existing soft conductors, however, often couple mechanical strain to electrical resistance, accumulate interfacial str...

Optimized Hemoglobin Depletion Improves Clinical Proteomics from Dried Blood Spots
Abstract Equitable access to large sample cohorts for robust, high-throughput proteomics for biomarker discovery is a major barrier to widescale clinical implementation. Dried blood spots (DBS) offer a minimally invasive alternative to venous blood draws, enabling at-home microsa...

In this paper, we propose a within-host virus–interferon model with a distributed eclipse phase. We assume that exposed target cells pass through an eclipse phase with a distributed duration and are subject to survival during this period before becoming either productively infect...

Canada’s Cross-Border Carry Trade
Canada has been spending more than its national income for much of the period since the Global Financial Crisis, relying for this on net financing from rest of the world. Yet Canada’s foreign asset position has grown substantially than its foreign liabilities despite these defici...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of emulsifier addition to reduced-energy maize-, barley- or wheat-based diets on selected indicators in broilers. In this experiment, a total of 540 unsexed (mixed-sex) one-day-old Ross 308 chicks were allocated to six treatmen...

Abstract Dual-task studies consistently find that experts are better at performing two tasks at the same time than non-experts. Usually, this effect is explained by the high degree of skill automatization in experts, given that skills become increasingly automatized during later...

Background/Objectives: Intraoperative assessment of infected and nonviable tissue remains challenging in orthopedic surgery. This prospective case series evaluated the technical feasibility of VELscope® autofluorescence imaging during surgery for orthopedic infection. Methods: Th...

What AI Cannot Give Gifted Learners
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has entered gifted education faster than the field has decided what it changes. This conceptual article argues that the pedagogical question is not whether AI helps. It is which cognitive work stays with the learner. Two claims follow. Firs...

Enumerating the number of spanning trees and the Asymptotic Behavior of Some Wheel Related Graphs
Wheel graphs are fundamental structures in graph theory and network architectures. Their importance arises mostly from the fact that they are planar, self-dual graphs used to mimic central hub-and-spoke networks, such as transportation and communication systems, and to study netw...

Post-training preference alignment (RLHF, DPO, KTO) enforces refusal behaviors by establishing persistent attractors in intermediate transformer representations. Current refusal removal techniques, notably directional ablation, operate macroscopically by subtracting a 1-dimension...

Brewing temperature and duration jointly modulate the sensory perception, functional properties, and chemical composition of herbal tea infusions, yet their integrated effects on Cyclocarya paliurus tea remain poorly understood. Here, cold-brewed (4 °C) and hot-brewed (90 °C) C....

Abstract Campylobacter coli is a key zoonotic pathogen and, owing to its close phylogenetic relationship and shared ecological niches with Campylobacter jejuni , an important reservoir of antimicrobial-resistance (AMR) determinants that can be horizontally transferred between the...

Background: Quadriceps weakness, inflammation, and reduced physical function are common in knee osteoarthritis (OA), and lower limb exercise therapy is an established non-pharmacological treatment. Vitamin D3 (vit D3) and vitamin E (vit E) have been proposed as adjunctive therapi...

Hybrid intervention: explaining the logic of US Taiwan policy amid the US–China competition
This article explains the changing logic of US Taiwan policy amid intensifying US–China competition. Moving beyond the binary debate between strategic ambiguity and strategic clarity, it argues that Washington has increasingly transformed the Taiwan question into an amplifier of...

Thermally induced damage in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is a critical safety concern, especially when approaching thermal runaway (TR) conditions. In this study, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to detect thermally induced damage in large-format prismatic LI...

An effective criterion for prescribed block-code extensions
For a specified onto block self-map f of a nonempty two-sided irreducible sofic shift T, this note gives a complete finite computable criterion for extending that same map into T from a containing shift of finite type. It answers the specified-map question in Boyle's Problem 16.3...

Abstract Background Although cardiac asystole during balloon dilation to create a retroperitoneal working space has been reported in endoscopic extraperitoneal radicalprostatectomy, it is quite rare during retroperitoneal nephrectomy. We report such a case. Case presentation An 8...

Abstract Background Long-term failure of saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) continues to compromise the clinical success of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, frequently resulting in recurrent myocardial ischemia and adverse cardiovascular events. Although invasive coronary a...
