Monolithic Ge/SiGe quantum well photodetectors integrated with SiN waveguides on 200 mm silicon wafers

Abstract The rapid growth of data processing is driving an urgent need for high-speed, low-power transceivers to support compute and interconnect demands. Here, we demonstrate a monolithically integrated O-band Ge/SiGe quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE) photodetector seamlessly...

Gaugefixer: overcoming parameter non-identifiability in models of sequence-function relationships

Background: Mathematical models that describe sequence-function relationships are widely used in computational biology. A key challenge when interpreting these models is that their parameters are not uniquely determined, i.e., many different parameter choices can encode the same...

Relationship between urinary and water fluoride with cardiovascular risk factors in children and adolescents in Yazd city

Abstract Background Although the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is low during childhood and adolescence, behavioral and biological risk factors and lifestyle associated with noncommunicable diseases are formed during this period and persist into adulthood. The present stud...

Adaptation to seasonal drought in Arabis alpina is linked to the demographic history and climatic changes since the last glacial maximum

Abstract Understanding how species adapt to new environments is a central goal in evolutionary biology, and a topical question in climate change research. Here, we sequenced the genomes of 426 individuals of the perennial, Arctic-alpine herb Arabis alpina to study demography and...

Reference‐Dependent Preferences and Sentiment‐Driven Asset Prices

ABSTRACT This paper studies asset pricing under expectations‐based reference‐dependent preferences in a general equilibrium framework. We show that reference‐dependent preferences can generate self‐fulfilling risk panics, producing sentiment‐driven asset price fluctuations throug...

A privacy-preserving data augmentation approach for credit card fraud detection

Abstract Credit card fraud costs credit card companies billions of dollars annually. Privacy concerns prevent most banks from sharing transaction data. Federated Learning enables multiple companies to train a unified model while preserving the privacy of sensitive data. The scarc...

Cost-effectiveness of centralized versus decentralized decision-making in agri-environment schemes for biodiversity conservation: Insights from an ecological-economic model

The cost-effectiveness of agri-environment schemes (AES) depends, among other things, on spatial dimensions. Extensive research has been conducted on how to incentivize habitat connectedness, but far less attention has been given to how the spatial level of decision-making affect...

Koma Notation Specification

As the first stage in formalizing Koma Notation / Koma Language, as announced in the Dualbind Declaration 2026, this specification defines how to describe information structure from an information distribution and establishes the formal boundary required for connection to an effe...

A Survey on Human-AI Collaboration with Large Foundation Models

As the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) continue to expand rapidly, Human-AI (HAI) Collaboration, combining human intellect and AI systems, has become pivotal for advancing problem-solving and decision-making processes. The advent of Large Foundation Models (LFMs) has...

The Shapley value for airport and irrigation games

Abstract In this paper, we consider cost-sharing problems defined on rooted trees. We refer to these problems as cost-tree problems and to the induced transferable utility cooperative games as irrigation games. We introduce a formal notion of irrigation games and provide a charac...

Neural Correlates of Emotion Regulation in Substance Use

Abstract Purpose of Review Emotion regulation (ER) is a central process implicated in the development, maintenance, and escalation of substance use (SU) and substance use disorders (SUDs). Advances in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have enabled characterization of n...

First Rigorous Chemical Test of Viability Boundary Dynamics: An Independent Operational Model

This article proposes an independent chemical test of the hypothesis of dynamic viability-boundary behavior formulated within Vitology. A controlled nonlinear chemical system is considered as the model class, with its state characterized by component concentrations, reaction rate...

P1.021. Esophageal Reconstruction in an Adult with Failed Colonic Interposition and Recurrent Aspiration

Abstract Topic Benign Disease: Esophageal Surgery Case Submission We present a 23-year-old male with a history of tracheoesophageal fistula repaired in childhood with multiple revisions including a esophagostomy and ultimately a colonic interposition. He continued to have recurre...

Aerial tactile perching via an anthropomorphic hand with embodied soft tactile receptors

Abstract Aerial robots are widely employed for exploration, inspection, and environmental monitoring, where their agility and maneuverability are strong assets. However, their endurance remains limited, inhibiting their applicability in long-term missions. Perching, the ability t...

Shallow Bearing Capacity of Unsealed Roads Using FELA and Machine Learning

Abstract The bearing capacity of unsealed roads plays a central role in maintaining serviceability, especially because moisture variations and traffic-induced shear stresses govern the shallow surface instabilities that lead to corrugation. Traditional analytical approaches of be...

A 620-Day Uninterrupted Kombucha: What Did It Tell Us? ——A Kitchen Observation on Self-Organization, Non‑Competitive Ecology, and Time‑Driven Transformation

SummaryThis project documents a 620-day uninterrupted observation of a 20-liter home-brewed kombucha system left without external inputs (no sugar, water, stirring, or environmental control) in a domestic kitchen in southern China (temperatures cycling naturally between 12°C and...

Using Simulation-Based Interventions to Improve Financial Decision-Making in Adolescents

This study examines whether interactive simulations can reduce common behavioral biases, such as present bias, loss aversion, and overconfidence, in adolescent financial decision-making. Using CapGrowth, a decision-science platform built specifically for this research, 150 partic...
