A Comparative Corpus Study of Epistemic Culture and Discourse in Computer Science, the Humanities, and the Digital Humanities

This article advances understanding of the interdisciplinary components of the digital humanities, and how this hybrid field relates to some of its contributing epistemic traditions. It builds its approach by drawing upon recent empirical work on the values expressed within AI re...

The Feminist Transformation of the Femme Fatale in Homer’s the Odyssey and Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl

This study explores the feminist transformation of the femme fatale through a comparative analysis of Circe in The Odyssey and Amy Dunne in Gone Girl. Using Feminist Criticism guided by Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex and Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique, the research in...

Species-resolved baselines reveal limited diagnostic resolution of aggregate river-fish indicators: evidence from a 16-year lower Yangtze survey

Aggregate catch and biomass are widely used to evaluate river restoration and fishery closures, but their management value depends on whether they resolve changes in the species of concern. We evaluated this diagnostic resolution using a 16-year fixed-station survey (2002–2017; 5...

Faf2 is required for neural differentiation in embryonic neural progenitor cells

Abstract Neural progenitor cell differentiation is a complex process requiring the proper integration of instructive and permissive factors. Instructive cues including signaling molecules and transcription factor networks have been well studied in this context, but permissive fac...

Projected westward advance of tropospheric formaldehyde over China

Economic development and population aggregation are driving the east-to-west spread of tropospheric formaldehyde (HCHO) in China; yet the historical trajectory and future threat of this westward migration remain poorly understood. Here, we analyze OMI satellite observations utili...

Compassion in Praxis Collection: Research-Linked Public Scholarship and Knowledge-Exchange Outputs

Compassion in Praxis Collection: Research-Linked Public Scholarship and Knowledge-Exchange Outputs — Version 2.0 (2026) The Compassion in Praxis Collection brings together nine independently downloadable public-scholarship and knowledge-exchange resources developed alongside a wi...

Optotagging in primate cortex uncovers excitatory and inhibitory neuron specializations in form vision

Abstract The perception of complex visual shapes is a hallmark of primates and a foundation for many of their decisions and actions. The neural mechanisms of this visual function are best studied in macaques, but progress in this animal model has been hampered by the inability to...

3D-Printed Geopolymer Composite Truss Beam: Experimental Verification of Manufacturing and Load-Bearing Capacity in Four-Point Bending

Geopolymers represent a promising material platform for extrusion-based 3D printing; however, current research remains largely focused on mix design, rheology, printability, buildability, and the relationship between process parameters and the resulting microstructure. This artic...

Robot in a crib: How a playing robot helps us understand sensorimotor contingency learning

Learning sensorimotor contingencies—that is, the link between one’s actions and their sensory effects—is fundamental to developing body knowledge, understanding causality, and developing a sense of agency. In developmental psychology, this process is classically studied using the...

Alpha Without Access: Execution Constraints in a Bonding-Curve Market

We report a market in which a positive return is visible in prices yet cannot be realized by a fixed trading policy, and we measure why. On a frozen set of 1,220 tokens approaching the pump.fun graduation boundary, a counterfactual buy that ignores the execution race shows a medi...

Coupling of Pacific and Indian Ocean variability disrupted by 19th century volcanism

The stability of inter-basin coupling between the tropical Pacific and Indian Ocean remains uncertain. This study shows that past volcanism can temporarily weaken this relationship, but recent decoupling due to global warming is unprecedented.

User-Behaviour-Based Dynamic Clustering Optimisation Algorithm for True Demand Prediction of Shared Bikes

Dockless bike-sharing systems are increasingly important for sustainable urban mobility, yet they frequently suffer from spatial misallocation between supply and demand. Conventional demand forecasting relies primarily on historical trip records and therefore systematically under...

An intermediate scale R-axion & the QCD axion

A bstract An intermediate scale R-axion faces an immediate obstruction from the Dine-Festuccia-Komargodski (DFK) bound on the superpotential, 2|⟨ W ⟩| ≤ f R F , since for a nearly Minkowski vacuum it typically follows that f R ≳ M Pl . We show that this lower bound on f R can be...

Global research landscape of natural medicines for lower urinary tract symptoms: bibliometric and clinical trial analysis

Abstract Background Natural medicines have demonstrated significant therapeutic potential in the management and attenuation of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). According to the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), a total of 497 related articles have been published during...

Machine Learning-Based First-Trimester Antenatal Risk Prediction for Adverse Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes: Multicenter Model Development Study.

Background: Maternal outcomes remain inequitable worldwide. Severe morbidity persists, and current risk assessment tools are largely arbitrary, focusing on biomedical factors while overlooking social determinants of health. There is a need for data-driven AI models to improve ear...

Factors associated with psychological distress and academic performance among medical students in Palestine: a convergent mixed-methods study

Abstract Background Medical education is associated with substantial psychological stress, and students in Palestine may experience additional strain related to political instability, mobility restrictions, and financial uncertainty. This study assessed psychological distress and...

A Systematic Review of Relationships Between Self-Directed Speech and Self-Processes

Self-directed speech is a well-established aspect of human cognition, although its relationships with self-processes such as self-consciousness, self-rumination, mindfulness, self-concept clarity, and self-esteem remain poorly understood. The present study aimed to synthesize exi...

Applications of artificial intelligence in the analysis of alveolar clefts: a scoping review

Background Alveolar clefts are a prevalent clinical manifestation of cleft lip and palate (CLP), and are typically managed with secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) during mixed dentition. Nonetheless, considerable variability in the morphology and volume of the defect influen...
