HailCam: an automated imaging system for real-time measurement of hail size distributions and fall rates

Abstract. Ground-based hail observations with high temporal resolution and precise microphysical quantification remain critically scarce, limiting the validation of radar-based hail detection algorithms and convective-scale numerical models. Existing automatic hail sensors often...

Observations from the Kentucky Corn Yield Contest reveal mid‐ to late‐season weather, early planting, and planting population drive high corn yield

Abstract Corn ( Zea mays L.) is the most valuable row crop on a land area basis in Kentucky. Understanding the effects of management practices employed by farmers in high‐yielding corn fields in Kentucky is essential for identifying both challenges and opportunities in corn produ...

Heterogeneous single-cell dynamics support stable population codes for objects in the mouse anterior cingulate cortex

Remembering object locations is crucial for survival, yet how the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) encodes spatial features across repeated experiences has not been fully characterized. Using longitudinal calcium imaging in freely moving mice, we tracked excitatory ACC neurons whi...

The Mind From Within: Visceral Roots of Human Cognition

ABSTRACT Humans think and act not only with the brain but also with the heart, lungs, gut, and other viscera, such as the bladder, long regarded as primarily vegetative. A fresh wave of experiments is revealing the role of cardiac‐cycle phase and baroreceptor firing in perception...

Noisy models of the ventral stream reveal the impact of recurrence and learned representations on information processing timescales

A bstract In vision neuroscience, the temporal dynamics of the sensory stream and of its neural representations are thought to be deeply linked to the function of the hierarchy of cortical areas that deal with object recognition, known as the visual ventral stream. Neural represe...

Rapid Estimation of Global Sea Surface Temperatures From Sparse Streaming In Situ Observations

Abstract Reconstructing high‐resolution sea surface temperatures (SST) from staggered SST measurements is essential for analyzing earth system processes. However, when SST measurements are sparse, the resulting inferred SST fields are rather inaccurate. Here, we show that Sparse...

Self-locking non-volatile coding metasurfaces via origami-based mechanical bits

Digital coding metasurfaces have revolutionized electromagnetic (EM) manipulation, yet typical tunable approaches based on active components suffer from “volatility”. While mechanical modulation provides a potential solution, current implementations generally lack inherent state-...

Who gets the curb? A systematic review of responsive curb management research

Urban curb space is a capacity-constrained resource that serves different user groups, including freight deliveries, ride-hailing, transit access, paratransit, and short-term parking, yet in most cities it is still governed by static rules and fixed signage. Emerging data sources...

When Plain Language Deceives: Frequent but Generic Words and Misleading Sentence Simplicity in a Mobile Phone Advertisement—An Eye‐Tracking and Decision‐Task Study

ABSTRACT This study investigates how plain and apparently simple language can mislead readers in online advertising. Using eye‐tracking and a forced‐choice task, we compared an original smartphone advertisement with a revised version. The revision replaced frequent and generic wo...

Learning to bin: differentiable and Bayesian optimization for multi-dimensional discriminants in high-energy physics

Abstract Categorizing events using discriminant observables is central to many high-energy physics analyses. Yet, bin boundaries are often chosen manually. A simple, popular choice in multi-classification tasks is to assign events according to the largest per-class score (“argmax...

Local and global C1,β-regularity for uniformly elliptic quasilinear equations of p-Laplace and Orlicz-Laplace type

We establish gradient Hölder continuity for solutions to quasilinear, uniformly elliptic equations, including $p$-Laplace and Orlicz-Laplace type operators. We revisit and improve upon the results existing in the literature, proving gradient regularity both in the interior and up...

DNA end-resection is stimulated by an interaction between BRCA1 exon 11 and TOPBP1

Abstract Approximately 60% of the tumour suppressor protein BRCA1 is encoded by a single exon. Many tumours carry mutations in this exon, often resulting in exon skipping and thus a protein of a severely reduced size. Although none of the well-described protein domains of BRCA1 a...

Running wild: Forest running enhances performance, enjoyment, mood and future exercise intentions

ABSTRACT Background and objectives Physical inactivity remains widespread despite the well-established physical and mental health benefits of regular physical activity (PA). There is an urgent need for strategies that increase both uptake and long-term adherence. The Environmenta...

Egorov-type semiclassical limits for open quantum systems with a bi-Lindblad structure

This paper develops a bridge between bi-Hamiltonian structures of Poisson–Lie type, contact Hamiltonian dynamics, and the Gorini–Kossakowski–Sudarshan–Lindblad (GKSL) formalism for open quantum systems. On the classical side, we consider bi-Hamiltonian systems defined by a Poisso...

Predictive-comparative framework for construction cost control using long short-term memory and digital twin technologies

Fragmented project records and delayed validation hinder proactive cost control in construction. Yet current research offers limited guidance on converting inconsistent, lagged evidence into timely and auditable control signals, which can delay or complicate corrective action in...

Complementary, not competing: passive acoustic monitoring and point counts reveal different facets of bird communities in agricultural landscapes

Reliable, scalable monitoring of declining bird communities is essential for evaluating conservation management. We compared species richness and community composition derived from passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) with those from traditional point counts in 11 winter wheat field...

ReviewAid: AI-Driven Full-Text Screening and Data Extraction for Systematic Reviews and Evidence Synthesis

[Detailed Docs for v3.0.0 Release] Overview This update introduces a fundamental architectural shift from probabilistic AI self-assessment to deterministic verification based on the source text. It also includes several changes to the JSON parsing pipeline to prevent infinite loo...

Developing blockchain utilization capability in blockchain platforms: Indonesia's dynamic infrastructure and organizational factors

This investigation develops and validates Blockchain Utilization Capability as a novel construct fundamentally reconceptualizing complex enterprise technology adoption by addressing critical limitations in conventional frameworks assuming direct antecedent-intention relationships...

Numerical Generation of Mode I Stress Intensity Factors for Narrow Elliptical Cracks in Round Bars

ABSTRACT Linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) allows for the analysis of crack propagation by combining remote stress fields in the solid with stress intensity factors (SIFs) obtained for specific crack configurations. To date, the use of tabulated SIFs has greatly facilitate...

Forest Kernel Balancing Weights: Outcome‐Guided Features for Causal Inference

While balancing covariates between groups is central for observational causal inference, selecting which features to balance remains a challenging problem. Kernel balancing is a promising approach that first estimates a kernel that captures similarity across units and then balanc...
