Climate-State-Dependent Mortality Risk in Smallholder Cattle and Buffalo Systems: An Environmental Systems Model of Livestock Loss, Insurance, and Land Carrying Capacity in Thailand

Mortality in smallholder cattle and buffalo systems is driven by climate, and the climate signal is not uniform. Heat and cold stress, flooding, and climate-sensitive disease emergence act through different physiological and ecological pathways, yet livestock-loss models usually...

Post-treatment of biogenic sulfur coating enhances autotrophic denitrification

<title>Abstract</title> Biogenic sulfur (bio-S⁰) is a promising electron donor for treating carbon-limited wastewater, yet the inherent variability of its organic coating poses an unresolved challenge for consistent denitrification performance. Here, we report that post‑treatment...

Evo-TGSF: an evolutionary topology-genomic subspace fusion framework for Alzheimer’s disease classification using imaging-genomics data

<title>Abstract</title> Brain imaging genomics offers a powerful paradigm for unraveling the complex pathophysiological mechanisms underlying Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, effective integration of high-dimensional functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data and single...

Derivation of Neutrino Mass, Scale and Mass Order Based on Real-Virtual Dual-Field Theory(RVDT-10)

Based on the framework of the 1.944 mm macroscopic equivalent virtual lattice of Real-Virtual Dual-Field Theory (RVDT), this paper takes the axiom that particle mass equals the topological locking strength of vortex knots to the lattice as the core principle. We conduct a complet...

Valid Inference with Synthetic Data via Task Exchangeability: replication deposit

Replication deposit for the paper Valid Inference with Synthetic Data via Task Exchangeability (Lezhi Tan, Tijana Zrnic). Synthetic data is cheap to produce but can be biased, and treating it as real makes inference confidently wrong. Task exchangeability corrects for this: find...

The impact of cross-linguistic orthographic similarity in incidental and intentional second language learning

Cross-linguistic orthographic similarity, whether the combination and position of letters within words conform to native language spelling rules, plays an important role in foreign language learning. Very little is known, however, about the effect of cross-linguistic orthographic...

Clinical outcomes and opportunities for improvement across modified trauma quality improvement cohorts: a registry-based cohort study

<title>Abstract</title> Background The American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) relies primarily on risk-adjusted mortality benchmarking, yet mortality alone may overlook non-fatal morbidity and care-process failures, particularly in cohorts where ou...

Method comparison of a ring-based PPG device and a chest-strap monitor for heart rate and heart rate variability in shooting athletes

<title>Abstract</title> Introduction: Ring-based photoplethysmography (PPG) devices are increasingly used in athlete monitoring, but evidence remains limited for precision-sport settings and finger-worn form factors. This study examined the agreement between a ring-based PPG devi...

Mechanical properties and fracture failure characteristics of fractured limestone under coupled freeze-thaw and cyclic loading

<title>Abstract</title> The Central Asian Orogenic Belt possesses abundant mineral resources. As mining activities extend into high-altitude cold regions, the safety and stability of rock engineering projects, such as open-pit mine slopes, have become increasingly prominent. This...

When Types Intersect and Effects Get Handled

We introduce a novel intersection type system for a λ-calculus with algebraic effects and handlers. The system, inherently behavioral in nature, enjoys the classical properties of intersection type systems, in particular subject reduction and expansion. It thus characterizes the...

Beyond the Markovian limit: Exact solutions for active motion in a power-law viscoelastic bath

Active particles from bacteria to synthetic microswimmers often navigate viscoelastic media with complex relaxation dynamics. The classical active Brownian model that assumes instantaneous friction is clearly not applicable to describe such motility, while the non-Markovian proce...

Development and internal validation of the Low Cardiac Index Score: a simplified bedside tool for continuous intraoperative screening

<title>Abstract</title> Purpose Advanced haemodynamic monitoring of cardiac index is restricted to selected high-risk cases, leaving most patients undergoing major surgery without real-time assessment. We aimed to develop and internally validate a simplified bedside score for con...

Refining the use of seed balls to support seagrass restoration

Abstract Seagrass ecosystems are experiencing rapid global decline, and current seed-based restoration efforts are frequently hindered by severe early-life bottlenecks such as decapod predation and bioturbation. To bypass these ecological feedbacks, encasing Zostera marina seeds...

The Catalytic AsymmetricAlkylation of Olefins withAlcohol Derivatives

Abstract Both olefins and arenes are abundant and versatile feedstock chemicals. Although the electrophilic alkylation of arenes constitutes an advanced technology, the corresponding alkylation of olefins is rather undeveloped. Here, we report an asymmetric catalytic benzylation...

How Microscale Flowand Vapor Transport Shape NewParticle Formation and Growth

Abstract Accurate simulation of atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) remains limited because large-scale models cannot resolve aerosol processes at fine spatial scales, while detailed microphysics models assume spatially homogeneous conditions. Here we use a high-resolution t...

Viral Nuclease Inhibitors: Small molecule disruptors of the UL12 alkaline nuclease display broad anti-herpes virus activity

Abstract Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) UL12 gene encodes a well-conserved 5’ → 3’ alkaline exonuclease. UL12 collaborates with the HSV single-strand DNA binding protein ICP8 to mediate recombination-dependent replication of viral DNA and is essential for the production of DNA th...

YvyrAI: A Spanish-First Recurrent-Deliberation Language Model Architecture with Internal Verification, Conditional Repair, and Adaptive Compute

We present YvyrAI, a Spanish-first decoder-only language model architecture centered on a recurrent module called the DeliberationBlock. A shared Transformer block is iterated within a single forward pass while a learned controller maintains a gated planning state, reads and writ...

Genome-Wide Association Identifies Candidate Genes for Salt Tolerance in Soybean at Emergence and Seedling Stages

Salt stress is an abiotic constraint on crop production, impairing growth while reducing yield and quality. As a source of edible oil and protein, soybean is particularly vulnerable to salt stress during emergence and seedling establishment, so the genetic basis of salt tolerance...

Bimodels and Biorthogonality for Abstract Machines

We develop a compositional semantics for abstract machines, focusing on CK/CEK machines for call-by-push-value. Taking abstract machines as the primary operational semantics, we introduce bimodels, which give denotations to both programs and stacks, and environment bimodels, whic...

Disentangling global supply chains: A systematic map of research on the biodiversity and social impacts of European blue food consumption

Abstract Background : Seafood is a vital global resource, yet the rapid growth of aquaculture – which now supplies over half the world’s blue food – has introduced significant ecological and social challenges. As a major importer and consumer, Europe is central to these global su...
