Improving Autism Diagnosis Across Ages Using Eye-Tracking and Temporal Transformer Models

Variation in gaze behavior due to age is currently a considerable challenge in building reliable eye-tracking systems for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis. However, existing strategies often focus on static gaze representation or dataset-based information, which can lead...

Amino Oxidase Hard Protein Corona with Metabolic-Triggered Intracellular Biocatalysis

A hard protein corona was engineered onto tannic acid-modified magnetic nanoparticles (SAMN@TA), a magnetic and luminescent core–shell nano-carrier, using Bovine Serum Amine Oxidase (BSAO), an enzyme catalyzing the oxidation of polyamines and producing the corresponding aldehydes...

Breast-Conserving Surgery in Multicentric Breast Cancer: Evolving Evidence and Patient Selection

Multicentric breast cancer — two or more biopsy-proven tumour foci in anatomically distinct regions of the same breast — has historically been treated as a near-automatic indication for mastectomy, reflecting concerns about occult residual disease, achievability of negative margi...

Structure-Guided Discovery Reveals Recurrent Bioactive Peptide Architectures Across Coleoptera

Bioactive peptides are an important source of therapeutic molecules and molecular scaffolds involved in defense, signaling, and immune regulation. Despite the extraordinary diversity of Coleoptera, the structural landscape of beetle-derived bioactive peptides remains largely unex...

Urinary Extracellular Vesicles as a Source of Biomarkers for Kidney Allograft Rejection: A Systematic Review

BACKGROUND: Kidney transplant rejection remains a leading cause of graft loss, and diagnosis still depends largely on invasive biopsies. Urinary extracellular vesicles (uEVs) offer a potential noninvasive alternative for detecting allograft rejection through molecular profiling o...

Effectiveness of Caregiver‐Mediated Spoken Language Interventions for Children Under Five at Risk of Developmental Language Disorder: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Caregiver-mediated interventions are commonly used by Speech and Language Therapists to support early language development. Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is associated with reduced quality of life throughout the lifespan. Understanding factors that pr...

Leveling the Peak: Standard Waveforms for Consistent PA Benchmarking

This is a paper submitted for review that focuses on creating a set of standard signals to use in PA measurement. The paper reviews why such standard signals are needed. As a companion, we are releasing a github that has a set of signals that we have curated and will additionally...

Revisiting the Stability of the Ingleton Inequality: A Tropicalization-Free Approach

The classical Ingleton inequality is known to hold for entropic points under specific exact conditional independence constraints. Recently, Matveev and Romashchenko (2026) investigated the stability of these implications, quantifying the extent to which the Ingleton inequality ca...

From Compliance to Performance: Board Gender Diversity and Bank Performance in an Emerging Economy—Insights from Egypt

We examine the impact of gender diversity on the financial and operating performance of the banking sector in Egypt over the period 2016–2024. We document a clear upward trend in female board representation, particularly following regulatory reforms introduced after 2020. Our res...

A Polarization-Space-Time Detector Without Secondary Data in Compound-Gaussian Clutter

Since heavy clutter seriously restricts the ability of radar to detect targets, it is significant to build the target detector under heavy clutter. For practical situations without the secondary data or prior knowledge of target and clutter, this paper proposes a polarization-spa...

Advances in small area population estimation in the absence of national census data

Population data at small area scales are essential for effective decision-making, influencing public health, disaster response, and resource allocation, among others. While national censuses remain the cornerstone of population data, they are often constrained by high costs, infr...

Bounds for the Hyperbolic Sombor Index in Terms of the Variable Euler–Sombor Index and Relations to Other Degree-Based Invariants

The Hyperbolic Sombor index HSO(G) of a graph G=(V(G),E(G)) is proposed as a new vertex-degree-based topological index. In this paper, we investigate the mathematical properties of this novel vertex-degree-based topological index for general graphs. We first establish tight upper...

Exploiting the Latent Space of Deep AutoEncoders for the Identification of Signal Pulses in Noisy Time-Series

We propose a data-driven procedure, based on convolutional variational autoencoders, to identify the presence of signal pulses in long time series. The dataset consists of synthetic waveforms, each composed of non-Gaussian noise and a log-normal-shaped signal of variable intensit...

Activation of mu-opioid receptors slows pacemaking in hypothalamic A11 dopamine neurons

Hypothalamic A11 dopamine neurons provide the only known source of spinal dopamine and critically modulate pain and motor systems. Yet, the electrophysiological properties of A11 neurons were unknown. Here, we characterized A11 dopamine neurons in mice using brain slice immunohis...

Self-Perceptions on Social Media vs. Offline Contrast With Those Perceived in Generalized but Not Close Others

Self-perception varies across contexts. Do perceptions of others across contexts vary in the same way? Here, a multi-study mapping of context-framed person perception addressed this question. Participants (N = 1748) reported perceptions of the Big Five personality traits specifyi...

The Attention Budget: A Dynamics of Meaning-Systems Why a meaning-field has a master equation, in what currency it is paid, and how a system can starve with no one starving it

Abstract The dynamics of a meaning-system requires a budget. Energy will not serve: meaning is not conserved, and there is no microscopic energy ledger from which a spiritual free energy could be defined. We argue that the budget is attention flux, and show that it satisfies the...

Investigating the Effect of UV Light on Marangoni Flow and Drainage of Aqueous Photoswitchable Microscale Foams

Exposing foams stabilized by photoswitchable surfactants to UV light induces changes in surface surfactant concentration, leading to significant alterations in foam behaviour such as the generation of Marangoni flow and change in foam drainage patterns. The occurrence of Marangon...

A compilation of global bio-optical in situ data for ocean-colour satellite applications – version four

Abstract. A global in situ dataset for validation of satellite products from the ESA Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative (OC-CCI) is presented. This version of the compilation, with data starting in 1996, extends to 2025, which is important for the validation of recent algorit...
