Abstract Metabolic alterations within the tumor microenvironment (TME) can reshape the polarization state of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and weaken antitumor immunity, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we integrated multiple gastric cancer (GC)...

Somebody has to do it: writing, housework, and being at home
For Creative Writing students, feeling at home with writing and with the identity of being a writer can be difficult. Many try to separate their writing life from home life which can lead to a sense of not being at home with the writing process. As life necessarily involves care...

Who votes when? Midterm and presidential voters differ primarily by age
Voters in American congressional midterm elections are widely viewed as demographically less representative than those in presidential elections – older, whiter, wealthier, and more educated. Using Current Population Survey data from 1994 through 2024 as well as voter-file data,...

Face-to-face videolaryngoscopy for tracheal intubation in microgravity
Abstract Long-duration space missions will require crews to manage medical emergencies autonomously, including airway management in microgravity. In weightlessness, the lack of gravitational reference alters operator–patient orientation and may complicate procedures such as trach...

Grid-following grid-side converters (GSCs) in permanent-magnet wind turbines may lose small-signal stability in weak grids because the synchronous reference frame phase-locked loop (SRF-PLL) interacts with grid impedance. For a regulated direct-current (dc) side, this paper propo...

When a Copy Is Not a Continuation
Thought experiments about copying, teleporting and uploading ask whether the result is the same subject. This paper asks a prior question that can be answered exactly. When the organization described by a closure architecture for consciousness is moved to a different finite syste...

ABSTRACT Neoadjuvant therapy has recently become an integral component of multimodal treatment for resectable lung cancer. However, real‐world data on perioperative morbidity and treatment adherence remain limited. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of differen...

Abstract Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a reversible cause of dementia, classically presenting with Hakim’s triad of gait disturbance, cognitive impairment, and urinary incontinence. Psychiatric symptoms are often secondary; they tend to be mild neurosis and usually follo...

Aquatic animal telemetry research can provide important knowledge for how populations, anthropogenic pressures and, indeed, entire ecosystems are managed. However, the true scale, extent and impact in Britain and Ireland is poorly understood. We surveyed 53 researchers about past...

We study a simple linguistic transform that separates English vowels from consonants (MVD, Maharashtran Vowel Disappearance) and ask whether it helps three common goals: reversible representation, lossless compression with standard codecs, and cheaper LLM/RAG pipelines via lossy...

Metabarcoding reveals mixed Cryptosporidium and apicomplexan infections in New Zealand dairy cattle
Abstract Cryptosporidium species are significant enteric parasites of cattle with zoonotic potential. Molecular surveillance of bovine cryptosporidiosis typically relies on 18S rRNA PCR and Sanger sequencing, which may underestimate mixed infections and overlook broader apicomple...

The 240 E8 root vectors naturally organize into eight concentric shells whose radii follow successive powers of φ (≈1.618), giving shell populations that match Fibonacci‑derived counts (30, 50, 80, …). When the lattice is driven at its base frequency of 132 Hz, each shell emits a...

Textile-Based Band-Stop FSS Design for X-Band Applications
This paper reports the practical implementation and planar experimental characterization of a cross-shaped band-stop frequency selective surface (FSS) on denim for X-band filtering. The contribution comprises a proof-of-concept prototype using low-cost self-adhesive copper foil,...

Even though a multifactor linear asset pricing model can be written equivalently in Beta or Stochastic Discount Factor (SDF) form, the two representations need not deliver the same inferential properties when estimated by the generalized method of moments (GMM). Using a multifact...

SPNet: segmentation-to-poly network for building footprint extraction
Building extraction from remote sensing images is a core task in urban planning and related applications. However, achieving high-precision building footprint extraction remains challenging due to complex building shapes and background noise. Existing mask-based methods produce r...
