Getting the story straight: common misconceptions around volcanoes and eruptions with case studies of recent events

Abstract The ability to rapidly disseminate scientific knowledge across the world has never been greater. This is paralleled by the ability of rumors to spread equally far and fast. Popular misconceptions can take root and, without correction, take on the appearance of facts. Com...

Fast-Forward: Automatic Assignment and Assessment of Bonded Parameters for the Martini Force Field

Abstract Coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of bio- and macromolecular systems offer a method of accessing otherwise unobtainable time and length scales, compared to atomistic simulation techniques. However, a limiting step is often the generation and validation of the...

Multimodal brain cell atlas across the adult macaque lifespan

High-throughput single-cell omics of non-human primate brain tissue provide a powerful platform to investigate the molecular basis of brain aging. Here, we present a comprehensive transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility atlas of 2,955,873 cells from eight brain regions of 23 f...

Attapulgite Nanocomposites for Cartilage and Osteochondral Repair: Material–Tissue Matching, Evidence-Graded Mechanisms and Translation

Attapulgite (ATP; palygorskite) is a fibrous magnesium aluminum silicate that can reinforce hydrated polymer networks, provide a surface for molecular interactions, and participate in formulation-dependent ion or drug delivery. Although ATP has been studied most extensively in bo...

CAT'S THEORY PRESENTS: The Fortress Holds: A Systematic Defense of the Triadic Cosmological Framework Against Standard-Model Objections Across Six Physical Domains

This paper subjects the Triadic Cosmological Framework — a flat Clifford torus embedded in S³, immersed in a superfluid medium with a radially symmetric density gradient — to systematic adversarial testing across six physical domains: atmospheric optics, gravitational mechanics,...

The Gatekeeper: A Cybernetic architecture for Socially Calibrated Behaviour

Social dependency changes the control problem faced by an animal. In a complex social environment, the consequences of action depend not only on material conditions and immediate motivation but also on the organism's changing position within a relational organisation generated by...

Impact of design, size, and a combined routine on the plaque removal efficacy of manual, hybrid (powered-mode) and interdental toothbrushes: a robot-assisted in vitro study

Abstract Background Regular and effective toothbrushing with interdental cleaning is key to maintaining oral health. Using an in vitro testing system, we compared the plaque removal efficacy of manual toothbrushes with different bristle designs, different-sized interdental brushe...

Triggered Fragmentation in Self-Gravitating Protoplanetary discs: Cooling, Mass Movement and Instability

Abstract Previous three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of gravitationally unstable discs have shown that the formation of a single fragment can trigger the formation of subsequent fragments. This behaviour was attributed to changes in the surface mass density caused by th...

Adaptation of the molecular bacterial load assay for real-time quantification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the clinical routine laboratory

ABSTRACT Rapid quantification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is important for monitoring bacterial load during treatment and in clinical studies. The molecular bacterial load assay detecting Mtb 16S ribosomal RNA (TB-MBLA) can quantify mycobacterial load within hours. As the...

MCL‐1 inhibition triggers a largely reversible cardiac stress signature in a humanised mouse model

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Myeloid cell leukaemia-1 (MCL-1) is an essential anti-apoptotic protein and a promising therapeutic target in oncology. Early clinical studies of MCL-1 inhibitors reported unexpected elevations in cardiac troponin, raising concerns about potential cardioto...

An experimental multiplex PCR/RT-PCR for detection of the main viruses associated with equine neurological disease

Abstract Viral neurological infections are important causes of morbidity and mortality in horses worldwide. Herein, we describe an end-point multiplex PCR/RT-PCR for simultaneous and differential detection of major equine encephalitis-related agents: rabies virus (RABV), equine h...

Use of Sustainable Energies in European Hotels: The DETOCS Project

Abstract : Hotel buildings consume large amounts of energy compared to other commercial buildings. However, in the coming years they should try to minimize the use of conventional fuels increasing the use of sustainable energies in order to zero their net-carbon emissions. During...

Synergistic Electrical–Magnetic–Thermal Response of Fe Soft Magnetic Composites Enabled by Thiol-Functionalised Silicon Nitride Nanosheet Interfacial Engineering

Pure Fe soft magnetic composites (SMCs) hold a prominent position in cost-sensitive 10–100 kHz medium-to-low-frequency power devices owing to their low raw-material expenditure and high saturation magnetisation. Nevertheless, the inherently poor interparticle electrical resistivi...

A critical review of mechanistic insights and technological advancement for the amelioration of Pb and Cd through phytoremediation

Heavy metal contamination is a major environmental concern due to its persistence, bioaccumulation, and long-term impacts on ecosystems and human health. Among toxic metals, cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are particularly harmful because of their high toxicity and carcinogenic potent...

Surfactantsfor Enhanced Oil Recovery: Progress andInnovations over the Past Decade

Abstract Surfactant-based strategies have emerged as key approaches for enhancing oil recovery (EOR), particularly in mature reservoirs where conventional production methods leave a substantial fraction of oil unrecovered. This review provides a comprehensive and critical assessm...

Comparison of Stress-Coping Mechanisms Among Students With and Without Specific Learning Disabilities

Grounded in Lazarus and Folkman’s transactional model, this study examined differential stress-coping mechanisms among Taiwanese junior high school students ( N = 898; seventh–ninth grade; 55.8% male), comprising 491 typically developing students and 407 students with specific le...
