Dissociating task, semantic, and response conflict in cognitive aging: evidence from a low-cognitive control Stroop paradigm

Abstract Cognitive aging is often associated with increased Stroop interference, but it remains unclear whether this reflects a broad decline in inhibitory control or selective impairments in specific conflict-resolution mechanisms. The present study examined age-related differen...

Epileptic seizure onset early warning using a lightweight multimodal self-explainable neural network

BackgroundCutting-edge deep learning algorithms are applied to epileptic seizures to uncover hidden patterns and achieve high accuracy. Post hoc algorithms explain black-box models but do not reveal the detailed workings of the algorithms. Therefore, intrinsic methods overcome th...

Genome‐Wide Identification of SNP Markers and Favourable Allelic Combinations Associated With Panicle Architecture Traits in a Subset of the 3K Rice Genome Panel ( Oryza sativa L.)

ABSTRACT Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most widely consumed cereal crops, serving as a staple food for billions of people worldwide. However, unpredictable climatic fluctuations and the continuous decline in cultivable land pose significant challenges to sustaining stable...

Strategic Prevention of Occupational and Toxicological Risks in Moroccan Traditional Tanneries: From Risk Assessment to Operational Health and Safety Planning

The artisanal sector is a part of Morocco's second-largest employment and represents a major socioeconomic activity. However, it remains a major source of occupational exposure and environmental contamination, where preventive systems and regulatory enforcement are often insuffic...

Conditional Land Reuse Planning for Coal Mine Restoration in China: Evidence of Robustness and Restoration-Funding Scenarios

Land-reuse planning after coal mining must distinguish restoration needs, evidential readiness and the ability to fund continuing obligations. This study examines that distinction through 69 Chinese mine-area units, six purposively selected coal-related electricity statements and...

Perspective-taking in ICU nurses: a qualitative descriptive study

Abstract Background Perspective-taking is the cognitive and emotional process of understanding patients’ experiences from their viewpoint and is central to empathic, patient-centered care in intensive care units (ICUs). However, the ways ICU nurses draw on personal and profession...

Digital Twin Modeling and Multi-Fidelity Deep Surrogate Simulation of Corrosion Fatigue Degradation Processes for the Condition-Based Maintenance of Permanent Flexible Fall Arrest Systems

Permanent flexible fall arrest systems are safety-critical equipment whose load-bearing capacity is governed by two coupled processes acting on very different time scales: a millisecond-scale transient arrest process and a multi-year corrosion fatigue degradation process. This pa...

Aptamer-Based Fluorescent Assays for Detection of the Host-Response Viral Biomarker 3′-Deoxy-3′,4′-Didehydro-Cytidine

Abstract Improved viral diagnostics are urgently needed to strengthen pandemic preparedness and combat antimicrobial resistance, highlighting the importance of 3′-deoxy-3′,4′-didehydro-cytidine (ddhC), a host-derived, pan-viral biomarker that addresses key limitations of PCR-base...

Interfacial Coupling Redirects Biaxial Deformation toward Diffusion-Suppressing Phase Reconstruction in Equimass Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate- co -4-hydroxybutyrate)/Poly(lactic acid) Blends

Abstract Combining poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) (P34HB) with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) offers a biodegradable route to balance deformability, stiffness, and optical clarity, but interfacial instability can compromise structural integrity during biaxial deformation....

Multiphysics-Based Numerical Prediction of the Electromagnetic and Thermal Performance of a 160 kW SSDR Axial-Flux Motor

Axial-flux motor (AFM) can achieve high torque and power density; however, integrated electromagnetic and thermal design is required to manage losses and heat generation during high-power operation. In this study, an AFM with a target output power of 160 kW for electric vehicles...

One Health epidemiology of cystic echinococcosis in Bhutan: A hospital-based study with complementary abattoir surveillance data

Abstract Background : Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a neglected zoonosis that disproportionately affects rural and economically disadvantaged populations worldwide. Although CE cases have been reported in Bhutan, epidemiology of CE remains unclear, and evidence integrating human...

The honest answer now costs money

Streaming services have started attaching consequences to AI disclosure, and so far every one of them lands on the party who answers truthfully. A distributor that declares a track fully AI-generated asks for the penalty, while one that declares it human is paid until a detector...

Compensation–Skills Dual-Dimensional Configuration and Sustainable Upgrading of Export Technological Sophistication: A Re-Explanation of the “Value Paradox” of Skill Mismatch

Amid the restructuring of global value chains (GVCs) and the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, how firms’ reallocation of human capital relates to escaping value chain lock-in has become a question of growing theoretical and practical importance for China. Traditional stat...

Exploring the Quellerflächen: Knowledge production on Danish internal colonial expeditions to Schleswig's west coast, 1859–1863

Between 1859 and 1863, Danish government official Arthur Earl of Reventlow traveled to North Frisia several times to explore possible ways to develop new agricultural areas in the Wadden Sea. Although expeditions have become a focus in the history of science, little research has...

LLM4GIS: Methods, Applications, and Prospects

The rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) offers new avenues for overcoming the limitations of current data-driven GIS analysis methods, giving rise to the emerging field of large language model-driven GIS analysis (LLM4GIS). This study presents a systematic review of...

A practical framework for exploring non-linear dose–response using adherence data in complex interventions

Abstract Background Randomised trials of complex interventions commonly estimate the effect of being offered treatment using intention-to-treat (ITT) analyses. However, in many settings, particularly psychological therapies, participants adhere to varying amounts of treatment. Es...
