Socio-hydrogeology: The past, present, and future of a people-centred and place-based approach to groundwater science

Groundwater systems are shaped by deeply interwoven physical processes and social dynamics, yet traditional hydrogeological approaches have often treated these domains separately. Over the past decade, socio-hydrogeology has emerged in response, offering an approach that systemat...

The faint-end radial-velocity tail of Gaia DR3: external verification of extreme values and a continuum of discrepancies in the 100 pc sample

Abstract Close-encounter studies rely on Gaia DR3 radial velocities (RVs) to the faint limit of the RVS. Our earlier encounter atlas found that stars with G>13.5 and |RV|>150 km/s but disc-like tangential motion inflate the sub-parsec encounter rate sevenfold, and conjectured tha...

Physics-Embedded Probabilistic Inverse Learning of Heterogeneous Consolidation Parameters from Sparse Multisource Data

Abstract Geotechnical properties that govern consolidation behavior, such as the coefficient of consolidation, are spatially heterogeneous and exhibit strong site-specific variability. Reliable estimation of their spatial distribution from sparse field measurements remains a majo...

AI, Writing, and Managerial Judgement: A Case-Based Approach to Communication Pedagogy

This research uses a hypothetical case discussion to make students understand writing as a thinking and managerial decision-making process versus as a technical output–based task in the context of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted writing. Using post-and-then-pre survey data...

Highly Selective Electrocatalytic Ammonia Synthesis Enabled by Spatial Separation of Active Hydrogen Capture and Spillover Sites

ABSTRACT Electrochemical nitrate reduction (eNO 3 RR) enables sustainable ammonia (NH 3 ) synthesis and nitrate (NO 3 − ) remediation but is limited by sluggish multi‐step proton−electron transfers and inefficient intermediate conversion. To address these challenges, we strategic...

Role of intermittent hypoxia in the dysregulation of serum uric acid levels in non-obese adults with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

This study investigated the association between serum uric acid (SUA) and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and identified risk factors for elevated SUA in non-obese patients. Consecutive non-obese patients referred to the sleep center for suspected OSAS were included. Corr...

Spore-based arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community in an olive cultivation area in southern Brazil

Abstract Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), belonging to the phylum Glomeromycota, establish symbiotic associations with approximately 90% of terrestrial plant species and play a key role in nutrient acquisition, tolerance to abiotic stresses, and agroecosystem functioning. Alth...

Comparative Evaluation of Myography Techniques for Prosthetic Hand Control

This review evaluates electromyography (EMG), force myography (FMG), sonomyography (SMG), and optical myography (OMG) for prosthetic hand control, comparing the modalities across signal propagation, signal accuracy, noise resistance, real-time processing, suitability for prosthet...

Psychological capital as a moderator of areas of worklife and employee wellbeing and turnover intention among white-collar employees in Türkiye

Areas of work-life (AoWL), comprising workload, control, rewards, community, fairness and values, represent key organizational dimensions that shape employee attitudes and behaviours. Despite growing interest in employee wellbeing and retention, the boundary conditions under whic...

Effect of corn syrup consumption on bone and inflammatory parameters in rats with spontaneous periodontitis

Abstract Background Although added sugar consumption is associated with altered periodontal parameters in humans and alveolar bone loss in rodents, the immunoinflammatory pathways involved and the links between local periodontal and systemic effects are not yet defined. The purpo...

Adverse Childhood Experiences and Untreated Dental Caries in Adulthood: Exploring Mediation by Educational Level, Depression Symptoms, and Oral Health-Related Behaviors

Introduction: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are relevant predictors for poor oral health in adulthood; however, the relationship with untreated dental caries remains unclear, as well as the underlying pathways. Therefore, the aim was to assess whether educational level, de...

A genus-specific TaqMan real-time PCR assay for the rapid detection of Wallemia in bakery production environments

Abstract The xerophilic fungal genus Wallemia is an important cause of fungal contamination in bread manufacturing environments, but its detection by conventional culture-based methods is often difficult because of slow growth and competitive overgrowth by other fungi. Here, we r...

Trichotillomania

A Dual‐Loss‐Suppression Meta‐Unit for Low‐Loss Continuously Tunable Spoof Surface Plasmon Polaritons

ABSTRACT Dynamic tuning of spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) is typically accompanied by substantial loss, which mainly originates from two sources: parasitic loss in tunable semiconductor components and dielectric loss dominated by the substrate. Here, we propose a contin...

Association of lipoprotein(a) with cardiovascular outcomes and breast arterial calcification in postmenopausal women

This study examined the association of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] with breast arterial calcification (BAC) and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) in postmenopausal women. We analyzed data from 2,799 women in the MINERVA cohort (ages 60–79 years; 34% non-white) free of CVD at basel...

Investigation of the dynamic stall characteristics for floating offshore wind turbine during pitch and surge motions

Platform motions periodically alter the relative inflow velocity and blade angle of attack of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT), making the accurate prediction of dynamic stall essential for assessing aerodynamic loads and power fluctuations. This study systematically evalua...

Impact of diabetes mellitus on the menopausal experience: A scoping review

Abstract Aims To identify, appraise and synthesise the current evidence relating to symptoms, experiences, management and impact of menopause on QoL among women with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) or type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and to identify evidence gaps. Methods We conducted a scoping rev...

Future-Splitting State Recruitment

History-dependent dynamical systems are commonly modelled by augmenting observable state with latent or internal variables. Modern methods can learn such variables, select latent dimension, impose thermodynamic structure, and optimise experiments for parameter identifiability; pr...

A comprehensive review of ferrite-based electrical motors for electric vehicle applications

This paper presents a comparative review of ferrite-based traction motors for electric vehicle (EV) applications. While numerous studies have examined ferrite-based motor designs in isolation, the literature still lacks a systematic comparative assessment across three levels: (i)...
