The "Low-Hire, Low-Fire" Labor Market

Hires and quits have been unusually low during the strong labor market over the past year or so, when layoffs have also been low. This combination is historically unusual. However, it is likely a continuation of long-term trends rather than something unique to the current period.

Dimensionally consistent surrogate modelling through dimensional analysis and harmonic expansions

Abstract Dimensional homogeneity is a fundamental constraint on physically meaningful models, requiring invariance under changes of units. We present a data-driven method for constructing surrogate models that satisfy this constraint at the level of the hypothesis class. Starting...

Perceived risk of human exposure to microplastics: a probability and impact-based assessment

Microplastic (MPs) contamination is an environmental issue with significant impact on public health, economic growth, and the natural ecosystem. This study evaluates public perceptions of MPs pollution in Romania through a structured questionnaire administered to 456 respondents,...

High-Performance Fiber-Shaped Supercapacitors Enabled by Polyaniline @ MXene Ti3C2Tx Hybrid Graphene Aerogel Fiber

Developing fiber-shaped supercapacitors (FSCs) with high capacitance, high energy density, and exceptional rate performance is crucial for reliable, stable and high-performance wearable electronics. Here, a polyaniline (PANI) @ MXene Ti3C2Tx/graphene (PTG) aerogel fiber was ratio...

Actinomyces odontolyticus Infection of a Marsupialized Vallecular Cyst in a Two-Month-Old Infant: A Report of a Rare Case

Actinomyces is a rare cause of cervicofacial infections, particularly in children. Children with Actinomyces infection often have delayed diagnoses due to low culture sensitivity and variable and indistinct presentations that resemble other pathologies, such as malignancy or tube...

Quantifying the Interplay Between PRAME Expression and Classical Morphology: A Multivariable Analysis of 954 Suspected Melanocytic Lesions

The integration of immunohistochemical biomarkers like PRAME (Preferentially Expressed Antigen in Melanoma) into the histomorphological assessment of melanocytic lesions is gaining prominence. While PRAME’s diagnostic value is widely recognized, its independent weight compared di...

Panoramic Near-Infrared Imaging Device for Peripheral Vascular Mapping

Longitudinal mapping of the superficial peripheral vascular network is clinically relevant for conditions such as venous insufficiency, superficial venous thrombosis, and localized hemorrhagic injury; yet existing modalities are either operator-dependent, costly, or unable to pro...

What Does It Mean to Be “Successful”? Religion, Family, and Economic Prosperity among Iranian Bahai Migrants in Brazil

Abstract The present article proposes to examine the 1985 and 1986 arrival in Brazil of Iranian Bahai forced migrants who left their homeland claiming religious persecution. The article presents original research undertaken with this group and aims to contribute to the limited bo...

Rederivation of the Acceleration Map by a Real-Center Reading in a Closed Two-Body AB Phase System

A derivation-replacement paper for the published inverse-square acceleration paper of the Wave Information Readout series. The virtual rotation center at the future phase position is removed: the only centers are the real ones — the parent-closure center O and the partner B on th...

Beating the Odds: Successful Thrombectomy Followed By Heart Transplant in a Pediatric Ventricular Assist Device Patient

Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are increasingly used in pediatric patients with end-stage heart failure as a bridge to heart transplantation (HT). Thromboembolic stroke remains one of the most devastating complications and may jeopardize transplant candidacy. We report a 13-ye...

哥德尔渔网:面向任意可定义域的观测框架

This paper introduces **Gödel 渔网 (Yúwǎng)**, an observation framework whose initial scope is any **可定义域 (kě dìngyì yù; designated domain)**. A 可定义域 need only be capable of being designated as a whole as the current object of observation. Its internal structure need not...

Biomarkers of systemic disease burden and outcomes after transcatheter tricuspid edge-to-edge repair

Abstract Background Risk stratification after transcatheter tricuspid edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) remains challenging, particularly in patients with advanced right-sided heart failure and systemic disease burden. Biomarkers reflecting inflammation, stress response and multiorgan...

NEW INC Y12 Creative Science: Gim Chaek

RationaleGim Chaek-a transliteration combining the Korean words for "seaweed" (gim) and "book" (chaek)-is a multimedia project that investigates the entanglement of natural substrates, living bodies, and data transmission.Through layered natural and cultural cross-references, the...

Multidimensional Militarisation, Evidence From Mexico's War on Drugs

ABSTRACT This article documents different dimensions of militarisation observed in Mexico since the start of the war on drugs. It argues that militarisation is a multidirectional phenomenon that is characterised by rationales that justify the use of illegal means to address compl...

An Innovative Searching of the High-End Making Products & Equipment & GDP Systems on Scientist's Behaviour and Judgement with Sustainability IX

ABSTRACT: The high-end making, new energy & AI (artificial intelligence) robot will occupy the new reformation field so that the much R & D (research and development) and investment is to be added continually by our government, maker & university. On the other hand, the expertise...

Rapid determination of potential mycotoxin-producing fungi contamination in post-harvest blueberries based on near infra-red spectroscopy and enhanced prototypical network

Blueberries are susceptible to fungal infection that may lead to mycotoxin contamination. Accurate identification of mycotoxin-producing fungi in blueberries is critical, as processed products derived from mould-contaminated fruits pose significant health risks due to the persist...

Applications of Electronic Nose Technology in Tea Processing: A Comprehensive Review

Tea quality is fundamentally determined by the complex biochemical transformations occurring during manufacturing. Traditional sensory evaluation, while essential, suffers from inherent subjectivity and cannot meet the demands of modern, industrial-scale production monitoring. Th...

All-Dielectric Stochastically Encoded Metasurface for Multifunctional Imaging Across Six-Polarization Channels

We proposed an all-dielectric stochastically encoded metasurface operating in the 1310 nm near-infrared band, which enables multifunctional optical field manipulation across six independent polarization channels. Utilizing a shared-aperture stochastic matrix-encoding strategy com...

Flight Data-Driven LSTM-Family Models for Resource-Aware Edge Deployment in Aerial Systems: A Review and Methodological Evaluation

Flight data-driven modeling has become an important approach for trajectory prediction, anomaly detection, and risk assessment in unmanned aerial vehicles and other aerial systems. Such data are usually high-dimensional, nonlinear, multirate, and non-stationary, especially during...

Reticulated adaptive radiation and phylogenomic diversity loss in the Hawaiian honeycreepers

The Hawaiian honeycreepers, one of the world’s most iconic adaptive radiations, are facing a human-mediated extinction crisis. More than 60 Hawaiian honeycreepers (Fringillidae: Carduelinae: Drepanidini) evolved from a single rosefinch-like ancestor that colonized the Hawaiian Is...
