Design and Implementation of a Switched Back-to-Back E-Slotted Antenna for Bidirectional Wireless Relay Applications

This paper presents the design, fabrication, and experimental validation of a switched back-to-back E-slotted antenna system for bidirectional wireless relay applications. The proposed antenna integrates two identical E-slotted microstrip patches placed on opposite sides of a sin...

First person – Iván Hidalgo-Cenalmor

First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Iván Hidalgo-Cenalmor is first author on ‘ NucleiSky enables cross-scale multimodal registra...

Circulating biomarkers in the diagnosis and management of neuroendocrine neoplasms

Abstract Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) comprise a broad family of tumours arising from the diffuse neuroendocrine system and endocrine glands, and vary widely in clinical behaviour ranging from indolent to highly aggressive. Established monoanalyte biomarkers including chromogr...

Context- and Cell-Dependent Roles of S1PR1 in Atherosclerosis: Therapeutic Implications of Selective S1PR1 Modulation

Abstract Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) regulates vascular homeostasis and immune function, but its role in atherosclerosis has remained controversial because activating the same receptor produces divergent effects across cell types. This review synthesizes evidence o...

The projective-attributional trap: institutional dynamics in French assisted reproduction pathways after the 2021 bioethics law

This theoretico-clinical article examines tensions in French assisted reproduction services after the 2021 bioethics law extended access to couples of women and single women. Drawing on composite clinical material from a reproductive medicine service, we define the projective-att...

Changes in Flood Frequency and Seasonality Across Midwestern U.S. Watersheds Under a Warming Climate: Insights From Convection‐Permitting Climate Simulations and Physics‐Based Hydrologic Models

Abstract We combine CONUS404 convection‐permitting climate simulations with the physics‐based WRF‐Hydro model to assess how climate warming may influence flood frequency and seasonality across the Midwestern United States. This framework captures interactions among precipitation,...

Deep-Learning-Based Assessment of Breast Arterial Calcification on Mammography: Technical Validation, Cardiovascular Prognostic Value, and Clinical Translation—A Narrative Review

Breast arterial calcification (BAC) is a manifestation of medial arterial calcification frequently detected incidentally on screening mammography. Increasing evidence suggests that BAC may also serve as a marker of cardiovascular risk. This narrative review critically synthesizes...

Breastfeeding Attitudes and Early Postpartum Breastfeeding Practices Among Turkish and Syrian Immigrant Mothers: A Comparative Study

Breastfeeding is a key public health practice that promotes the health and well-being of both mothers and infants. However, migration-related experiences, socioeconomic conditions, and access to breastfeeding support may influence breastfeeding attitudes and practices among immig...

Emergent coherent-incoherent phonon crossover enables ultralow lattice thermal conductivity in 3D double perovskite

The interplay between coherent (wave-like) and incoherent (particle-like) phonon transport is central to heat conduction, yet experimental evidence of their crossover in bulk three-dimensional (3D) crystals remains scarce. Here, we report intrinsically ultralow lattice thermal co...

Policy fragmentation and policing domestic abuse: A critical review of Welsh police forces

This article examines operational domestic abuse policies across the four Welsh police forces: South Wales Police, Gwent Police, Dyfed-Powys Police, and North Wales Police. In the absence of a binding national operational policy prescribing a uniform policing response to domestic...

Effects of neighbourhood socioeconomic disparity on preterm birth during the pandemic: secondary analysis of pregnancy during the pandemic cohort

Preterm birth (PTB) is a major public health concern with significant socioeconomic disparities. While stress-response pathways link neighborhood socioeconomic status (nSES) to PTB risk, overall PTB rates unexpectedly remained stable or declined during the COVID-19 pandemic. Give...

Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ Peptide (NOP) Receptor Agonists as Novel Analgesics in Pain Medicine

Chronic pain is a major cause of disability worldwide, impacting around 20% of adults globally. Conventional mu-opioid peptide (MOP) receptor agonists provide effective analgesia; however, their prolonged use is restricted by severe dose-limiting toxicities such as opioid-induced...

Analysts’ use of toxic emissions data

Purpose This study examines whether financial analysts function as information intermediaries by incorporating Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) data into their assessments of firms' environmental risks, as reflected in earnings forecasts and stock recommendations. It further invest...

Unveiling the Potential of Quaternary Heusler Alloys for Spintronic and Thermoelectric Applications: A Valence Electron Count Perspective

ABSTRACT Quaternary Heusler alloys have emerged as a versatile class of multifunctional materials owing to their highly tunable electronic structures and magnetic properties. Their crystal architecture provides exceptional compositional flexibility, enabling systematic control of...

Surrogate Computational Homogenization Enhanced by Partition‐of‐Unity RBF Interpolation With Decision Trees

ABSTRACT This study enhances a framework of surrogate computational homogenization (SCH) using decision tree‐based partition‐of‐unity radial basis function (PU‐RBF) interpolation for three‐dimensional finite‐deformation two‐scale analysis. The method addresses the scalability lim...

Integrated tumor–peritumoral CT radiomics for perioperative event discrimination in thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis: a retrospective cohort study

Abstract Background Perioperative risk stratification in thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis remains challenging, and the optimal spatial extent for preoperative computed tomography (CT) radiomics is uncertain. We compared five three-dimensional tumor and peritumoral radiomic re...

Concentration-Dependent Interlaminar Fracture Toughening in Carbon, Glass, and Hybrid Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Laminates via MWCNT Interlayers

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates are prone to delamination because they lack continuous through-thickness reinforcement. Although multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) interlayers can improve interlaminar resistance, evidence has focused mainly on unidirectional carbon fib...

Machine Learning-Based Prediction of Elemental Distribution Rates in Pyrometallurgical Copper Production

Understanding elemental distribution among slag, dust, and copper-bearing products during pyrometallurgical copper production is critical for minimizing valuable metal losses, controlling potentially hazardous elements, and improving resource recovery. However, prediction of elem...

Blood companions: the Holocene record of ectoparasites

Abstract The Holocene fossil record of human and animal ectoparasites comprises specimens from sites worldwide, providing a unique perspective on human mobility, domestication and zoonotic disease. Lice, fleas, bedbugs, louse flies, ticks and mites have been recovered from sites...

Skill-guided agentic reasoning enables longitudinal synthesis of myeloma records at expert-level concordance

Abstract Patients with multiple myeloma accumulate hundreds of clinical documents over years of sequential therapy, and every treatment decision depends on synthesis across that history. Whether large language model–based systems can match expert agreement on this task, and where...
