Empowerment or disempowerment: the impact of GenAI use on graduate students' research innovation capability

Purpose This study aims to examine how generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) use influences graduate students' research innovation capacity in the Chinese context, with particular attention to the mediating role of research self-efficacy, the moderating effects of peer suppo...

COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia: a spatial and multilevel analysis

Abstract Background Although vaccines are becoming increasingly accessible, hesitancy is still a public health concern, particularly in reproductive-age women in Ethiopia. However, evidence regarding geographic distribution and determinants of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy remains l...

PBH Scaffolding Theory: Primordial Black Holes Replace Particle Dark Matter

PBH Scaffolding Theory proposes that the large-scale gravitational scaffold of the universe is not an elementary dark-matter particle species but a primordial black-hole fog (asteroid-mass PBHs in unmodified Einstein gravity). Five independent gates operationalize scaffold comple...

Rapid Declinesin European Traffic NO x and NMVOC EmissionsRevealed by Eddy-Covarianceand Remote Sensing

Abstract Reliable quantification of anthropogenic emission trends remains a major uncertainty in air-quality and climate assessments. Here we present nearly a decade of eddy-covariance flux measurements of NOx, nonmethane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs), and CO2 in the Alpine...

Fuzzy hybrid system based on ensemble learning for classification in intelligent manufacturing processes

Abstract The integration of Machine Learning (ML) into advanced manufacturing is a key enabler of Industry 4.0, supporting intelligent quality control and early fault detection. Despite recent advances, challenges remain regarding the interpretability and adaptability of multicla...

Quantification of practice effects in a self-administered online cognitive pre-screening test

BACKGROUND: With growing prevalence of mild cognitive impairment and dementia, online self-administered pre-screening tests hold the promise to more objectively identify individuals who stand to benefit from prioritized access to supervised cognitive testing and in-depth neurolog...

KongMen: Real-Time Dialogue Purification via Training-Free Entity-Redundancy Gating

Long-context LLMs (128K–1M tokens) reduce truncation loss, but full-length inputs incur proportional latency, cost, and memory overhead. We propose KongMen, a training-free, LLM-free real-time dialogue purifier for multi-turn conversations. KongMen removes conversation-internal r...

BOS-TMC Data Set:DFT Properties of 159k ExperimentallyCharacterized Transition Metal Complexes Spanning Multiple Chargeand Spin States

Abstract We present the Boston Open-Shell Transition Metal Complex (BOS-TMC) data set, a set of density functional theory (DFT) properties for 159k experimentally characterized mononuclear transition metal complexes (TMCs) in multiple spin states with a range of formal charges de...

Neuralgic Amyotrophy Following Rotator Cuff Repair

Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) is an uncommon but potentially debilitating cause of pain and weakness that is felt to be inflammatory in nature. This patient-focused case report describes the experience of a 64-year-old active male who developed severe periscapular pain eight days aft...

Kinetic Insight into the Nucleation and Growth of Nickel Hydroxide Nanostructures on Conductive Ni Foam toward Advanced Hybrid Supercapacitors

Metal hydroxides have drawn immense attention as robust materials for supercapacitor electrodes with enhanced electrochemical performance, desired electroactive structural, and compositional properties. Among these hydroxides, nickel hydroxide nanostructures offer advantages over...

Impact-based forecasting in Japan: a review of the Japan meteorological agency’s real-time risk map “Kikikuru”

Abstract Impact‑Based Forecasting (IBF) has attracted international attention as an approach to enhance disaster risk management by linking weather forecast information to concrete societal actions. This review examines the implementation of IBF in Japan, focusing on the Real‑tim...

Chromosomal integration of a bcrRABD-carrying integrative and conjugative element increases bacitracin resistance in Clostridium perfringens following restrictions in antimicrobial use in Canadian broiler chickens

Abstract Background In response to the threat of antimicrobial resistance, the Chicken Farmers of Canada banned the prophylactic use of Category II antimicrobials in 2018, thereby increasing the reliance on bacitracin to prevent necrotic enteritis in broiler chickens. This study...

Reinforcement Technologies in Flexible Composite Pipes: Engineering principles, reinforcement architectures and application-based selection

Flexible composite pipes (FCPs) are increasingly used across energy and industrial applications, where their corrosion resistance, low weight, spoolability and installation efficiency offer significant advantages over conventional metallic pipeline systems. Central to their struc...

Adaptation, Not Priming: A Repulsive In-Context Aftereffect Carried by a Sparse Set of Attention Heads

In-context learning is assumed to assimilate: repeated exposure pulls the next prediction toward the repeated pattern, as induction and copy mechanisms attest. We report the opposite sign for graded scalar attributes, and establish three things about it. The phenomenon. Across fi...

A reinforcement-driven multiple-instance learning method for multi-task speaker attribute prediction

Abstract Standard models for predicting speaker attributes from text often fail to manage multiple, interdependent attributes simultaneously, and existing Reinforced Multiple-Instance Learning (RL–MIL) frameworks are typically limited to single-task prediction. To address this, w...

WGS Data from HG002 on the Cyclone G400-ER platform (S1 chemistry ultra-long)

Ultra-Long sequencing of HG002 was performed on the Cyclone G400-ER platform (S1 chemistry). The dataset supports comprehensive evaluation of sequencing performance, de novo assembly, and variant detection.

Gravitational Manipulation Theory v2.4 — Apparatus-Space Scaling of Information Sufficiency

Gravitational Manipulation Theory (GMT) v2.4 extends the information-sufficiency program from a finite three-class robustness test to a pre-registered apparatus-design space. GMT v2.2 established, for a single Controlled Synthetic Apparatus (CSA), operator sufficiency at (L^*{\ma...
