Impact of ROMEX Radio Occultation bending angle assimilation on mesoscale weather prediction over the Indian Region

Abstract. Data assimilation experiments were conducted for September 2022 at 9-km horizontal resolution using a cyclic three-dimensional variational (3D-Var) assimilation system to assess the impact of a large number of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) radio occultation...

Delivery of multiple PspA fragments by CyaA toxoid induces broad protection against Streptococcus pneumoniae

Abstract Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of lower respiratory tract (LRT) infections and invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPD). Conjugate vaccines are effective against IPD and nasal colonization but offer coverage limited to serotypes included in the formulations. Pne...

Adaptive Temperature Control of Air Conditioners Based on Millimeter-Wave Radar and Light Gradient Boosting Machine Model

To address the issues of large temperature fluctuations, poor spatial perception, and low control robustness in traditional residential air conditioners, this paper proposes an adaptive temperature control algorithm based on millimeter-wave radar and a Light Gradient Boosting Mac...

Imagery Interventions and Cognitive‐Behavioural Therapy for Psychological Complaints Related to Bullying: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

ABSTRACT Bullying is associated with internalizing symptoms and impaired everyday functioning. Cognitive‐behavioural therapy (CBT) and imagery interventions have been studied as treatments to improve mental health after such experiences. This meta‐analysis aimed to evaluate the e...

Inclusive charm and bottom quark pair production cross sections at hadron colliders at next-to-next-to-leading-order accuracy

Abstract The inclusive cross sections for charm (ccbar) and bottom (bbbar) quark-antiquark pair production in proton-proton, proton-antiproton, and proton-nucleus collisions are studied over a wide range of center-of-mass energies, √ s ≈ 10 GeV-400 TeV. All existing data over √ s...

Highly contiguous reference genome assembly of the endangered Orcés’ blue whiptail Holcosus orcesi

Abstract Holcosus orcesi , the Orcés’ Blue Whiptail, is a Critically Endangered lizard endemic to the upper Jubones River basin in southern Ecuador. Restricted to a narrow elevational range within semi-arid Andean shrublands, it represents one of the few montane members of a pred...

From Ambiguity to Execution: An Agentic Neuro-Symbolic Framework for Transforming Building Regulations into Deterministic Constraints

Integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) into Automated Compliance Checking (ACC) introduces "Spatial Hallucinations" and "Serialization Bottlenecks" when processing massive Building Information Models (BIM). This research proposes an Agentic Neuro-Symbolic Framework that decoupl...

Integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis reveals the amino acid biosynthesis diversity in black and white mulberry

Abstract Mulberry fruits are recognized as highly nutritious dietary foods, offering a wide range of essential nutrients, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds that contribute to overall health. The nutritional value of the mulberry fruit is mainly attributed by the type and cont...

AdmixLD: Fast genome-scale inference of ancestry disequilibrium in hybrid zones

SUMMARY: Hybrid zones represent powerful natural systems for studying reproductive isolation and speciation. One key genomic signature of genetic incompatibilities and epistatic interactions is linkage disequilibrium (LD) - non-random associations between loci from different line...

Atypical PI3Ks coordinate chemotaxis, signaling dynamics, and multicellular development in Dictyostelium

Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling regulates protrusion, polarity, membrane uptake, and multicellular development in Dictyostelium discoideum, but these functions have been interpreted largely through canonical Class I PI3Ks and PI(3,4,5)P₃ production. This framework does...

Neuroergonomic signatures of improved human–robot collaboration in LLM-supported industrial workflows

Abstract The Industry 5.0 is hindered by the communication bottleneck between humans and collaborative robots (cobots), because of the rigid programming requirements, which prevent dynamic and unexpected workflow changes. This study introduces and validates a Large Language Model...

A mixed methods evaluation of pleural procedural experience and training in intensive care trainees

Abstract Background Pleural procedures are key skills for Intensive Care Unit (ICU) doctors but can be associated with serious complications. We aimed to explore ICU junior doctors’ training, experience, and confidence in performing pleural procedures. Methods The study was a pro...

Stochastic Dynamics of Domain Wall on a Racetrack: Impact of Line‐Edge Roughness

We investigate the impact of line‐edge roughness on current‐driven domain wall dynamics in ferromagnetic racetracks. Modeling the edge disorder as a spatially correlated Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, we demonstrate that even minimal experimentally relevant roughness induces pronoun...

The derived depth formula for modules of finite quasi‐projective dimension

Abstract Let be a commutative Noetherian local ring. We prove a variety of new formulas for modules of finite quasi‐projective or finite quasi‐injective dimension. These include the Derived Depth Formula, itself an extension of Auslander's famous depth formula, a variation of the...

Disentangling global atrophy burden from local structural patterns reveals clinically relevant heterogeneity in mild cognitive impairment

Abstract Background Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a heterogeneous prodromal stage of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Imaging-based subtyping studies, however, often confound overall disease severity with local anatomical variation, limiting biological interpretability and clinical...

Laying the Groundwork for Moveable Heritage Disaster Risk Management: A Database-Driven Evacuation Tool at the Musée d'Archéologie Nationale

This paper presents a case study conducted at the Musée d’Archéologie Nationale (National Archaeology Museum) in France, to develop a dedicated database application to safeguard its moveable heritage from risks, as a foundational component of the museum’s wider Disaster Risk Mana...

Pre-existing systemic and nasal antibodies against avian H5 influenza A viruses vary according to childhood imprinting

Avian influenza A viruses (IAVs) pose a constant pandemic threat, with the recent 2.3.4.4b clade of the H5 subtype causing high pathogenicity and spreading across animal species and geographic locations. Understanding human pre-existing immunity to avian H5 IAV can inform on popu...

Limits of the illusory truth effect for social-political opinions: Evidence from two experiments and a mini meta-analysis

Repeated exposure to information often increases its perceived truthfulness, a phenomenon known as the illusory truth effect. Although this effect is well established for factual statements, it remains unclear whether repetition similarly influences truth judgments for evaluative...

Oort Cloud Comets: Perturbations Due to the Passage of Gliese 710

The outermost region of the Solar System is called Oort cloud which is the Solar systems’ reservoir of long-period comets that extends to distances up to 200 000 au from the Sun. Long-period comets can be injected towards the inner Solar System due to galactic tides and passing s...

On gravitational collapse and integrable singularities

Abstract Schwarzschild black holes are expected to emerge as the end states of the classical gravitational collapse from non-singular configurations. After integrable curvature singularities appear, the interior geometry can be modelled to exhibit a transition, called “Minkowski...
