Recent Advances in Nanotechnology for Targeted Protein Degradation
Mutations or overexpression of proteins contribute to the pathogenesis and progression of numerous diseases, including cancers and neurodegenerative disorders. Traditional small-molecule inhibitors have played a crucial role in treating these diseases; however, they still face se...

An American lead in artificial intelligence may be a strategic objective. It cannot also be the condition under which an international safety regime remains intelligible. This paper distinguishes three arrangements often conflated in the debate: commitments explicitly conditioned...

Abstract Background Salmonella spp. are important zoonotic pathogens and a leading cause of foodborne illness worldwide, with antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) and multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains in livestock posing a growing public health concern. This study investigated the occur...

Abstract Preoperative computed tomography (CT) is routinely acquired for planning robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA), yet osteophyte burden is not quantitatively characterized. We developed automated CT-based osteophyte quantification and evaluated it against blinded...

How International Trade and Global Value Chains Reshape Environmental Sustainability
The expansion of international trade and global value chains has transformed the geographical organization of production while redistributing environmental pressures across countries, sectors and stages of production. This paper examines the relationship between trade integration...

Adhesive-Yet-Removable Silica-Polydopamine Janus Particles for High-Performance Skin Photoprotection
Photoprotective materials must remain on the skin during use while permitting gentle removal afterward, creating a conflict between durable adhesion and post-use cleansing. Here, we report anisotropic dumbbell-shaped mesoporous Silica-Polydopamine Janus particles (SiO2&PDA JPs) d...

Building a Secure, Role-Aware Web Platform for Campus Training and Placement Coordination
Campus placement cells are the intersection of three groups that rarely work on the same page. Students who chase offers, coordinators who try to keep records straight and recruiters who expect a smooth process when they show up on campus. When this coordination is still done on...

A local non-containment in Step (v) of IUT IV, Theorem 1.10
Step (v) of the proof of Theorem 1.10 in Mochizuki's Inter-universal Teichmüller theory IV bounds, for each tuple of places, the log-volume of the corresponding component of the holomorphic hull of the union of possible images of a Θ-pilot object defined in Corollary 3.12 of the...

Biweekly gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in advanced pancreatic cancer: a systematic review
Abstract Background Pancreatic cancer is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GA), along with FOLFIRINOX and NALIRIFOX, is a standard first-line treatment for advanced/metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC). However, the stan...

We prove a statement recorded by H. Gruber in 2012 in the OEIS entry A000079 (the powers of 2), verified by him up to n = 17: for n >= 1, the number of distinct finite languages over a one-letter alphabet whose minimum regular expression has alphabetic width n is 2^n. The alphabe...

From Clifford Algebra through Spacetime Discrete Structures to the Standard Model
Background. The derivation of physical dynamics from algebraic first principles remains a central open problem in foundational physics. This paper addresses the logical gap between Clifford-algebraic ontology and spacetime dynamics by constructing a unified framework that bridges...

Abstract Optical interference from small molecules─compounds that absorb UV/visible light or exhibit intrinsic fluorescence─is a significant source of false positives and false negatives in fluorescence- and absorbance-based high-throughput screening assays. Computational predict...

Efficient deep learning models for early Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis
Abstract Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a progressive neurological disorder that impairs cognitive functions, severely affecting patients’ quality of life. Thus, early and accurate diagnosis is essential to provide a chance for treatment. This paper proposes two deep learning (DL) m...

Parallel retinal and circadian signalling channels organise mouse hypothalamic activity
Abstract Background Mammalian physiology exhibits pronounced daily changes, canonically under control of a primary clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Retinal signals align robust diurnal rhythms in SCN output that are commonly viewed as acting to suppress daytime activit...
