What Needs Attention? Prioritizing Drivers of Developers’ Trust and Adoption of Generative AI

Generative AI (genAI) tools promise productivity gains, yet developers still struggle to determine when to trust and effectively integrate these tools into their everyday work. Moreover, genAI can be exclusionary, failing to adequately support developers across individual differe...

Enhancing communication in screen-exposed children: role of behavioral intervention: a preliminary study conducted in a hospital setting in India

Abstract Objectives This study assessed the effectiveness of behavioural interventions in reducing screen time and enhancing parent-child interaction to improve communication in children aged 18 to 60 months. Methods observational and crosse-sectional was designed in this study....

Large scale retrieval for the LinkedIn feed using causal language models

Abstract In large‐scale recommendation systems like LinkedIn's, the retrieval stage is critical for narrowing billions of potential candidates to a manageable subset for ranking. LinkedIn's feed now serves suggested content based on the topical interests of members, where 2000 ca...

Momentum-based access and speed control for improved safety in heterogeneous road networks

The increasing variety of means of transportation, including light vehicles like e-scooters and e-bikes, together with the increasing weight of conventional vehicles due to electrification and consumer preferences for SUVs, are raising serious concerns regarding the safety of roa...

Structure-guided allosteric modulation of the delta opioid receptor

Abstract Opioid analgesics remain essential for pain management but are associated with significant adverse effects, including respiratory depression, tolerance, and dependence. The δ-opioid receptor (δOR) represents a promising therapeutic target for developing safer opioid anal...

Picard groups of quotient ring spectra

Abstract We develop tools to study Picard groups of quotients of ring spectra by a finitely generated ideal, which we use to show that , where is a Lubin–Tate theory and is an ideal generated by suitable powers of a regular sequence. We apply this to obtain spectral sequences com...

Tracheal tuft cell-released leukotrienes promote antibacterial immune responses

SUMMARY Tuft cells act as crucial sentinels in the airways that detect bacterial metabolites. In response, tuft cells release signaling molecules that trigger immune responses essential for clearing the infection. The molecular mechanisms driving immune cell activation following...

Circulating lipids are associated with PTSD severity and predict symptomatic PTSD in a cohort of veterans and service members

Abstract Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is characterized by chronic stress, alterations in mood, and avoidance after a traumatic event has occurred. While recovery can occur, many PTSD patients suffer life-long impairments. In combat veterans, high rates of PTSD contribute...

Balancing efficiency and equity in classroom assignment under endogenous peer effects

This paper presents a three-step empirical framework for optimizing classroom assignments under endogenous peer effects, using data from the China Education Panel Survey (CEPS). We design \textit{PeerNN}, a neural network that mimics endogenous network formation as a discrete cho...

Self-organizing map–derived regimes as a basis for basin-integrated diagnostics of Baltic Sea hydrographic change (1993–2023)

Abstract The Baltic Sea has experienced significant hydrographic changes over the past three decades, including long-term warming, increasing salinity, and intensified vertical stratification. While these trends are well established, their internal structure and temporal evolutio...

Do they care? An analysis of stakeholder perspectives on sustainability in luxury sailing yachts

This paper presents a thorough investigation of the notion of sustainability within the specific market sector of luxury sailing yachts. The study explores the various ways in which this concept is perceived, evaluated and operationalised. It examines the relationship between env...

Data-centric training enables meaningful interaction learning in protein-ligand binding affinity prediction

Predicting protein–ligand binding affinity remains a fundamental challenge in drug discovery, where deep learning models have become central. However, these models often struggle with protein and ligand biases, and their generalization to unseen targets remains limited. Here, we...

Age at Autism Diagnosis in the Norwegian Mother, Father, and Child Cohort Study (MoBa): Exploring the Association With Family Well-Being

For many autistic individuals, close family members represent a crucial source of support throughout their lifetime. Early autism diagnosis is thought to benefit both autistic individuals and their family members by facilitating early access to services and information. However,...

Optimizing 3D Scene Reconstruction with Differentiable Ray Tracing

A fundamental limitation of classical rendering pipelines is that their discrete, non-differentiable structure makes them unsuitable for gradient-based parameter recovery. This paper presents a differentiable ray tracing framework that directly addresses this gap, enabling end-to...

3-2-1: Lift Off! Co-Planning Strategies When “There’s No Time!”

Collaborative planning is both a High-Leverage Practice and evidence-based practice for inclusive education. However, co-teachers frequently cite a lack of time as the greatest barrier to effective collaboration and instructional impact. This article presents a practical, flexibl...

Estimating Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Residential Power Outages in Massachusetts from 2013 to 2022 Using Public Records

Abstract Power outages are a growing threat to human health. Extreme weather events and strains on the electrical grid can cut off access to critical health-supporting medical equipment. However, the full scope of health impacts related to power outages has not been quantified, i...

Risk Theory in a Finite Customer-Pool Setting

This paper investigates an insurance model with a finite number of major clients and a large number of small clients, where the dynamics of the latter group are modeled by a spectrally positive Levy process. We begin by analyzing this general model, in which the inter-arrival tim...

Nickel-catalyzed enantioselective reductive vinyl-alkynylation of unactivated alkenes with bromoalkynes

Alkynyl groups are highly valuable functionalities, prompting chemists to continually seek efficient alkynylation reactions. Traditional asymmetric alkynylation strategies using terminal alkynes often rely on complex chiral phosphine ligands, stoichiometric amounts of silver reag...

From lectures to learning outcomes: meaningful integration of AI-generated content in pre-clerkship medical training

Abstract Background Large Language Models (LLMs) can efficiently synthesize educational content, yet few studies have evaluated standardized, LLM-powered curricular interventions and their effects on medical student learning. Methods In this single-institution study, lecture-spec...

The Impacts of Zonal and Meridional Winds on the Observed Occurrence Rate of Equatorial Plasma Bubbles

Abstract Post‐sunset equatorial plasma bubble (EPB) formation is believe to be influenced by factors including thermospheric neutral winds. This study characterizes pre‐sunset neutral winds observed by ICON on EPB occurrences observed by GOLD over the east Atlantic. 3 years of da...
