Emulsion architecture Controls the efficiency of hydrogen storage into ternary clathrate hydrates of H2 and mixed Hydrophobic/Hydrophilic co-formers

Clathrate hydrates are promising materials for solid-state hydrogen storage, yet their practical application is hindered by extreme pressure-temperature requirements and slow formation kinetics. While traditional co-formers can moderate these conditions, they typically do so at t...

Molecular interaction mechanisms of muscle fiber type transition in aging sarcopenia and the role of exercise intervention

Abstract Muscle fiber type transition is a core pathophysiological process in aging sarcopenia; however, existing research has often analyzed its underlying mechanisms in isolation. This review systematically characterizes the features of muscle fiber type transition in sarcopeni...

Factorized quantum curves and minuscule vertices in 3D duality cascades with FI parameters

A bstract In the study of duality cascades in three-dimensional gauge theories without FI parameters, an important role is played by a fundamental domain whose vertices correspond to brane configurations with vanishing relative ranks. Through the Fermi gas formalism, such brane c...

The adverse outcomes and progressive nature of early-onset colorectal cancer

Abstract Early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC), also known as young colorectal cancer, is already increasing in incidence each year, approximately 2% each current year. The current report already described the uncommon type of progression of this cancer based on the age group. In...

The Race Must Go On: Encoding-Frames Reposition Route-Competition Onset in LLM Generation

A short purpose-frame placed before a fact-block produces a significant first-token route-competition effect in a non-RLHF base model that is null in the matched RLHF-instruct model; the most parsimonious reading is that instruction-tuning compresses the competing-route distribut...

Association Between Diabetic Retinopathy and Skin Autofluorescence in Individuals with Long-Standing Type 1 Diabetes and No History of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a major microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). Among the established risk factors for DR, “metabolic memory” plays a key role. Its development is mainly driven by advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), some of which posse...

The Delta: Large Language Models as a Prediction-Only Control that De-confounds the Mind Sciences

Large language models are usually studied as models of cognition, probed with the tasks of cognitive and developmental psychology. This paper argues for the opposite use: a language model as a prediction-only control. Because such a model reproduces many cognitive phenomena — com...

Enhancing agricultural aviation safety analysis: a knowledge graph and ontology-based approach to systemic accident pattern detection

Abstract Brazilian agricultural aviation combines one of the world’s largest fleets with a rising accident rate, yet existing safety analyses remain predominantly descriptive and single-event in scope. This paper proposes and demonstrates a knowledge graph and ontology-based fram...

Analytical and Laboratory Investigation of Groundwater Pumping in Strip Island Aquifers With Single‐Sided Land Reclamation

Abstract Land reclamation has been widely implemented on oceanic islands to alleviate land scarcity. Previous studies of groundwater pumping in reclaimed island aquifers have primarily considered symmetric reclamation and fixed well placement. Here, we extend this framework to an...

Perchloric acid (HClO 4 ) drives atmospheric new particle formation enhanced by dimethylamine, ammonia and sulfuric acid: mechanisms and implications

Abstract. Recent studies have revealed observations of atmospheric perchloric acid (HClO4, PA) in the Arctic. There are few studies of PA forming aerosol particles in coastal marine regions. We use quantum chemical calculations and Atmospheric Clusters Dynamic Code (ACDC) to comp...

Outcomes of Percutaneous Interventions for Aortic Coarctation: Experience from a Tertiary Care Center

BACKGROUND: Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a congenital obstructive anomaly that may remain undiagnosed until adulthood, often presenting with systemic hypertension. While percutaneous interventions, including balloon angioplasty and stent implantation, are increasingly utiliz...

Comparison of Kinesiophobia, Upper Limb Function, and Grip Strength in Patients with Pacemakers and Coronary Artery Disease

BACKGROUND: To compare kinesiophobia, shoulder range of motion (ROM), functional disability, and handgrip strength (HGS) between patients with cardiac pacemakers and those with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS: This cross-sectional study enrolled 60 individuals aged...

Building drag and shielding in a realistic urban environment

Shielding by upstream buildings is a fundamental control on urban drag, yet its influence remains poorly quantified in realistic urban environments. Here, we investigate shielding effects using building-resolved large-eddy simulations of the University of Bristol campus, comprisi...

Curvature-controlled instability coupling in hypersonic three-dimensional boundary-layer transition

Abstract Boundary-layer transition on hypersonic lifting bodies is strongly affected by three-dimensional effects and surface curvature, which influence instability development and aerodynamic heating. However, the specific role of curvature in modulating transition behavior rema...

Assessment of generative de novo peptide design methods for G protein-coupled receptors

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play an ubiquitous role in the transduction of extracellular stimuli into intracellular responses and therefore represent a major target for the development of novel peptide-based therapeutics. In fact, approximately 30% of all non-sensory GPCR...

Reconfigurable fixed-frequency resonant converter with extended voltage gain for ultra-wide output range applications

Abstract This paper presents a universal series-resonant converter with an ultra-wide output voltage range for electric vehicle charging applications. The proposed converter is based on a unified two-state reconfigurable secondary-side structure in which the transformer secondary...

Object perception encodes mutually exclusive possibilities.

Human adults represent and reason about possibilities: multiple, mutually exclusive, non-actual ways the world could be. It is debated whether this is a late-developing, human-specific capacity and whether it requires natural language. We propose that instead of a unitary high-le...

Maximal Minimal Spacing for Random Points

Abstract From $$N+1$$ N + 1 random points on a line we wish to select $$M+1$$ M + 1 points so as to maximize the minimal spacing between them. We consider an initial configuration with independent and identically distributed spacings. Equivalently, the points are arrival times of...

Symmetric Hermite Quadrature‐Based Balanced Truncation for Learning Linear Dynamical Systems From Derivative Data

ABSTRACT Data‐driven reduced‐order modeling is an essential component in the computer‐aided design of control systems. In this work, we present a novel symmetric Hermite formulation of the quadrature‐based balanced truncation algorithm that constructs linear reduced‐order models...

Urbanisation and habitat loss favour thermophilic and monogynous ant species

Environmental changes such as urbanisation and related habitat loss and fragmentation profoundly impact ecological communities by altering habitats, resources, and microclimates. Yet, the impacts of the resulting environmental conditions on metacommunity dynamics, ranging from sp...
