Sympathetic action potential synchronicity and blood pressure regulation in healthy young adults

This study investigated sympathetic neural blood pressure regulation in humans by quantifying synchronous and asynchronous action potential (AP) discharge. Muscle sympathetic AP discharge was measured (microneurography; continuous wavelet transform) in twenty-one healthy young ad...

Hidden Cost of Re-Engagement: Workload in Dynamic Multi-Operator Supervision of Autonomous Systems

Autonomous systems are increasingly shifting from single-agent oversight to distributed fleet supervision, where operators alternate between monitoring, waiting, and brief intervention. We examined whether multi-operator, multi-agent supervision preserves objective performance wh...

Antidemocratic Policing in America: The Institutionalization of Historical Trauma

Around the world, countries have begun reforms to align their police forces with a democratic policing culture. Despite significant progress in interpreting the United States Constitution, the United States has failed to fulfill one of the key aspects of democratic governance: de...

Are components of the histone gene expression machinery functionally repurposed in terminally differentiated cells?

The expression of metazoan replication-dependent histone genes is controlled by NPAT and U7 snRNP. NPAT activates transcription of histone genes during S-phase, whereas U7 snRNP is a multi-subunit endonuclease that cleaves the resultant transcripts at the 3' end, yielding mature...

An Oscillatory Christoffel--Darboux Transfer from Finite-Height RH Verification to Local Toeplitz--Hankel Positivity

Let $\xi(s)=\frac12s(s-1)\pi^{-s/2}\Gamma(s/2)\zeta(s),\qquad$ $F(x)=\frac{\xi'}{\xi}\!\left(\frac1{1-x}\right)=\sum_{m\ge0}f_mx^m,$ and define the symmetric Toeplitz--Hankel coefficients $g_{ij}=f_{|i-j|}-f_{i+j+1}+\delta_{ij}f_0.$ The adjacent matrices $M_n=\begin{pmatrix}g_{nn...

Genomic Potential and Climate Resilience of Agave angustifolia Haworth in Raicilla Production

Agave angustifolia Haw. is one of the primary sources for the production of mezcals such as raicilla and tuxca, in western Mexico. In Jalisco, Agave angustifolia evolved from being a pre-Hispanic ritual and food resource (200–1500 CE) to becoming the primary basis for 16th-centur...

Outcomes following dialysis and transplantation in amyloidosis: ANZDATA analysis

Abstract Background The kidneys are frequently affected by systemic amyloidosis. Despite this, contemporary survival outcomes for patients reaching kidney failure due to amyloidosis remain poorly defined relative to other causes of kidney failure. This study aims to characterise...

Response of Mechanical Properties in PVC-P GMB to Tensile Rate and Low Temperature

Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC-P) geomembranes (GMBs) are widely used in cold regions as impervious barriers, facing combined low-temperature and variable loading effects. However, design specifications rely on room-temperature tests at fixed rates, not reflecting actual con...

Coping with climate emotions: An experiment investigating the impact of emotion regulation on defensiveness, collective action intentions and policy support [Author Accepted Manuscript]

Based on self-determination theory, emotion regulation, and coping research, we argue that individuals employ different emotion regulation/emotion-focused coping strategies to handle threatening information about climate change, which are differently associated with the satisfact...

Access to Anticancer Drug Trials for Adolescents With Cancer in the United States

BACKGROUND: Adolescents with cancer are generally underrepresented in clinical trials. The extent to which cancer drug clinical trials have become more age inclusive over time is not clear. METHODS: We utilized ClinicalTrials.gov to identify cancer drug trials from 2005 to 2025 i...

Study on heterodyne detection efficiency of partially coherent beams with different polarization state combinations in atmospheric turbulence

Abstract Expressions for the heterodyne detection efficiency of the partially coherent electromagnetic Gaussian–Schell model (EGSM) in atmospheric turbulence were derived. In this study, the signal and local oscillator beams were configured in five different polarization states:...

Theoretical investigation of coupled rain-wind effects on the dynamics of continuous stay cables

Abstract Rain-wind induced vibrations present a serious risk to the durability and lifespan of cable-stayed bridges. This study investigates the complex dynamics of continuous stay cables with a moving water rivulet under pulsating wind conditions. A previously established theore...

Synthesis, characterization, and in vitro activity of piperine nanocrystals against protoscoleces of Echinococcus granulosus

Despite recent advances, current treatments for cystic echinococcosis (CE) still face challenges because of significant adverse effects and complications. This study investigates the synthesis, characterization, and in vitro activity of piperine nanocrystals (PIP-NCs) against E....

Machining feasibility comparison of homogeneous SiC and SiCf/SiC, Cf/SiC and CFRP composites processed by a green-light femtosecond laser

Purpose Continuous fiber-reinforced polymer or ceramic matrix composites are advanced materials and have been widely used and developed rapidly in the aerospace and automotive industries. However, their excellent mechanical performance causes severe tool wear and poor machining q...

Epidemiology of suicide among Austrian children and adolescents: 2015–2024

BACKGROUND: Mental health among young people and suicidality are major ongoing public health issues. This study aims to provide updated epidemiological information on youth suicides in Austria. METHODS: Suicide and population data for 10-19-year-olds were obtained from Statistics...

Techno-Economic Assessment of PEM Electrolyzer Coupled with High-Concentration Photovoltaics in Saudi Arabia

Green hydrogen (H2) production is a pivotal element of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. This study presents a comprehensive feasibility assessment of a high-efficiency H2 production system integrating a photovoltaic (PV) array and a high-concentration photovoltaic (HCPV) system with a...

From Affective Deficiency to Compensatory Overprotection: A Proposed Model of Parental Agency Substitution, Executive Undertraining, and Adult Functional Dependence

Overprotective parenting is commonly conceptualized as the opposite of neglect. This paper proposes, instead, that the two can coexist within a single developmental trajectory: a caregiver may be affectively insufficient in a child's earliest years and later become functionally e...

EFFECT OF Organisational CULTURE ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE IN HEALTHCARE INSTITUTIONS: A Structured Literature Review with Implications for David Umahi Federal University Teaching Hospital (DUFUTH)

Organisational culture shapes how employees interpret institutional expectations, interact with colleagues, respond to leadership, share knowledge and perform assigned responsibilities. This review synthesises the literature compiled in the source manuscript on the relationship b...

Too much or too little? Vocal accommodation and social evaluation of voice-based assistants in relational roles

Abstract Voice-based assistants (VBAs) increasingly function in relational roles such as tutoring, medical guidance, and customer service, prompting users to evaluate them as communicative partners. Drawing on Communication Accommodation Theory and the Stereotype Content Model, t...
