Controlled Night Ventilation for Cooling-Demand Reduction in Bahraini Residential Buildings: A Mixed-Mode Simulation Study

Residential electricity demand in Bahrain is strongly shaped by long cooling seasons, high air-conditioning dependence and the operation of standardised housing typologies. This paper evaluates the energy and comfort implications of applying a controlled night-ventilation mixed-m...

Long-term comparative trajectories of health, behavioral, and economic outcomes: From pre-diagnosis to survivorship

Purpose Although cancer survivorship involves interconnected changes in health, health behaviors, and economic well-being, few studies have comprehensively examined how these outcomes evolve before and after a cancer diagnosis within the same population over time. Using populatio...

Microalgae-based living hydrogels as engineered soil biogeochemical reactors: bridging synthetic microbiomes, climate resilience, and sustainable remediation

Microalgae-based living hydrogels represent an emerging class of engineered living materials (ELMs). They combine biological activity with the physicochemical properties of hydrated polymer networks to form a multifunctional platform that is potentially useful in soil remediation...

Robust feasible-domain modeling for resource-constrained spaceborne heterogeneous high-performance computing

A spaceborne heterogeneous computer must finish sensing, preprocessing, artificial-intelligence inference, compression, and data return within one mission window. Processor throughput alone is an incomplete guide because task placement simultaneously determines computation, trans...

Prevalence of diabetes mellitus and obesity in the Russian Federation accoding to the population survey

Despite the widespread belief that diabetes mellitus (DM) and obesity are prevalent conditions, the available statistics in the Russian Federation lack data on the co-occurrence of multiple diseases, and clinical studies, along with registries, do not comprise representative samp...

5C psychological antecedents of vaccine hesitancy toward maternal RSV vaccines and infant monoclonal antibodies among pregnant and postpartum women and their partners in China: A multicenter, dyadic survey design, cross-sectional study

We assessed vaccine hesitancy toward two novel respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) immunization strategies, maternal vaccines and infant monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), among 4422 couples across eight Chinese provinces, via a multicenter cross-sectional survey with convenience sampli...

Prey restoration facilitates early tiger recolonization in a human‐dominated protected area of Thailand

Abstract Introduction Rewilding is an important ecological restoration practice for sustaining ecosystem function. Reintroduction of large‐ and medium‐sized prey can facilitate recolonization by predators such as tigers ( Panthera tigris ) in fragmented habitats. Objective We exa...

Information-Capacity Saturation and Black-Hole Entropy: Constitutive Response and Higher-Derivative Diagnostics

We propose an information-capacity formulation of black-hole entropy in which the Bekenstein--Hawking entropy is interpreted as the saturation value of a coarse-grained information capacity associated with a horizon cross-section. For a stationary black hole in a two-derivative E...

Cheesemaking Properties of Milk and Cheese Yield: Risk Assessment

Cheese milk profile affects the economic efficiency of cheese production. Cheesemaking properties of milk largely depend on the content and ratio of protein fractions, namely, caseins and whey proteins. However, very few scientific publications feature quantitative criteria that...

Latent profiles and associated factors of self-management behaviours among middle-aged and older adults with type 2 diabetes

Type 2 diabetes requires sustained self-management across multiple behavioural domains, yet middle-aged and older adults may not follow a single high-versus-low pattern. This study aimed to identify latent profiles of self-management behaviours among middle-aged and older adults...

After the Erosion of Symbolic Scarcity: A Political Economy of Aesthetic Symbols, Relational Anchoring, and Existential Encounter

Generative artificial intelligence is rapidly expanding the supply of aesthetically sophisticated images, prose, styles, atmospheres, and other symbolic forms. This development does not eliminate scarcity from aesthetic and cultural life, but it raises a political-economic questi...

Synthesis, Pharmacological Evaluation, Molecular Docking, and In Silico ADMET Profiling of Novel Ibuprofen–Chalcone Hybrids as Potent Anti-Inflammatory Agents

Abstract Objective: Conventional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are severely limited by systemic toxicities. To address these constraints, we designed and synthesized a novel series of ibuprofen–chalcone hybrid molecules, capitalizing on a molecular hybridization s...

Plant‐Inspired Symbiotic Atmospheric Water Sorption–Evaporation for High Efficiency Adaptive Passive Cooling

ABSTRACT Atmospheric water sorption–evaporation passive cooling couples two antagonistic processes, moisture harvesting and evaporative heat dissipation, whose intrinsic trade‐off hinders integrated system‐level design and limits stable operation under high heat fluxes. Inspired...

Accuracy of the Interpolated Surface Mesh Method for OEP Volume Measurement

Background: Optoelectronic plethysmography (OEP) is a non-invasive technique that can be used to assess both respiratory volumes and chest wall kinematics. An interpolation surface method (ISM) has been recently developed to enhance OEP kinematic analysis. The aim of this study w...

Quasi-Isometric Rigidity of Teichmüller Space: An Expository Survey of the Eskin-Masur-Kasra Rafi Theorem

Quasi-Isometric Rigidity of Teichmüller Space (A Survey) This is an expository survey of a landmark rigidity theorem for Teichmüller space, proved by Eskin, Masur, and Kasra Rafi. The theorem states that, with a short list of low-complexity exceptions, every quasi-isometry of Tei...

Sprayable MXene Hydrogels With Composition‐Driven Interfacial Stabilization and on‐Skin Gelation for Conformal Postsurgical Photothermal Therapy

ABSTRACT Oxidative degradation of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene in aqueous and biological environments remains a persistent obstacle to its long‐term use in biomedical applications, yet the role of the surrounding polymer matrix in governing this process has received little systematic atten...

Unjustified Defeaters and the Role of Incoherence in Epistemic Defeat

Abstract This paper examines the possibility of unjustified defeaters and the explanatory role of incoherence in epistemic defeat. I reconstruct Peter Graham and Jack Lyons’s objections to Jennifer Lackey’s psychological defeaters, paying special attention to their rejection of u...

Colorectal cancer screening with multitarget-stool DNA testing: real-world adherence and follow-up colonoscopy in a large urban academic health system

OBJECTIVE: This real-world study evaluated adherence to multitarget-stool DNA (mt-sDNA) testing and completion of follow-up colonoscopy (FU-CY) among patients aged 45-75 years in NewYork-Presbyterian, a large urban healthcare system. METHODS: This retrospective analysis of tests...

Rising Carbapenem MICs and Clinical Dose Optimization: Bridging Resistance Surveillance and Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Strategies

The rise in carbapenem resistance is well documented, but a less conspicuous trend has received far less attention: the gradual upward shift in minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values among isolates that remain phenotypically “susceptible.” We propose the term carbapenem fl...

Metal-Ion-Mediated Morphology and Pore-Environment Engineering in Isostructural MOFs for Isomer Separation

Abstract Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) provide an ideal platform for regulating pore environments, yet the role of metal-node substitution in chromatographic separation remains insufficiently understood. Here, a series of isoreticular frl-topology MOFs Al-TBAPy, Sc-TBAPy, and Y...
