Heart failure may promote breast cancer progression through a Col10a1-associated Tgf-β/Smad-EMT pathway

Heart failure (HF) is clinically associated with aggravated breast cancer (BC) progression; however, the integrative genomic mechanisms underlying this cardio-oncological crosstalk remain poorly understood. We conducted integrative bioinformatics analyses combining weighted gene...

Energy Aware Archery Northern Goshawk Optimization‐Based Cluster Head Selection and Gt‐LSTM for Weather Forecasting in WSN‐IoT Network

ABSTRACT The distributed and resource‐constrained nature of wireless sensor network–internet of things (WSN‐IoT) nodes poses significant challenges for weather forecasting. Existing methods often struggle to balance prediction accuracy, energy efficiency, and network scalability....

Terminal public-audit release of BIT-CAUSAL-XD-001, a cross-domain typed causal representation built around the author-originated Tính-Lưu-Hành formulation. F5-R3 remains OPENED_HOLD_WITH_SCOPE. Checker-M and Checker-N agree on 36/36 full result envelopes and 36/36 generated exac...

When are digital services taxes optimal? Output taxes and profit shifting

Abstract Motivated by the introduction of digital services taxes (DSTs) in several European countries and the widespread use of revenue-based taxes where profit taxation is imperfect, this paper studies whether targeted output or commodity taxes can serve as surrogate profit taxe...

Transfer Pricing in Litigation Funding: Remunerating Cross-Border Value-Creating Functions

Litigation funding is a useful transfer pricing case study because the asset class is illiquid, long-dated and dependent on legal, procedural, settlement and enforcement outcomes, while the business model often blends capital provision, fund sponsorship, asset management and resi...

Prime Analysis: Expressing Primes As Triangles

Prime Numbers have been a hot topic around mathematics for centuries. Many theories have been devised such as the Riemann Hypothesis, Twin Prime Conjecture, etc. However, prime theories involve using many advanced concepts such as the imaginary number and contour integration maki...

Social Interactions Between People Living With Dementia and Staff in Health and Social Care Settings: A Scoping Review

Dementia is an umbrella term for progressive conditions affecting memory, thinking, communication and other cognitive functions. These changes can make social interaction challenging, particularly in unfamiliar or overstimulating environments . Although social interactions betwee...

The Rhizosphere Microbiome: A Key Mediator of Crop Responses to Fertilization Strategies

The rhizosphere microbiome, the plant’s “second genome” is pivotal for crop nutrient acquisition, health, and stress responses. While fertilization ensures high agricultural yields, a key challenge is reshaping this microbiome to boost crop performance. This review synthesizes ho...

Pathological personality traits and problematic pornography use: the mediating role of life satisfaction

Abstract Although pathological personality traits have been associated with problematic pornography use (PPU), limited evidence has examined the cognitive-affective mechanisms through which these variables are statistically associated. In particular, the potential mediating role...

Enhancing the Skatole Degradation Capacity of Lactococcus lactis NZ9000 Through the Heterologous Expression of the Ska Enzyme from Acinetobacter piscicola p38

Skatole is a harmful, odorous pollutant in livestock manure. Skatole-degrading strains are mostly harmful Gram-negative bacteria, whereas safe Gram-positive strains demonstrate poor degradation performance, limiting bioremediation applications. To solve this problem, this study w...

The impact of digital finance on green technological innovation: a cross-country analysis

This study examines the impact of digital finance on green technological innovation (GTEC_INV) using panel data from 11 countries spanning 2010–2023, including developed, emerging, developing, transition, and small-island economies. Using unit root and cross-sectional dependence...

Rethinking escape frequency benchmarks for environmental applications of engineered microorganisms

Abstract Biological containment strategies are widely used to reduce possible risks associated with genetically modified microorganisms (GMMs). In the biosafety literature, the performance of these systems is often benchmarked against a maximum escape frequency of one cell per 10...

Spatiotemporal Differentiation and Evolution of the Coupling Coordinated Development of Transportation, Population, and Ecology on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Coupling coordination analysis provides a quantitative basis for balancing development and conservation in ecologically fragile regions; however, existing frameworks are predominantly designed for urban agglomerations and seldom integrate transportation, population, and ecology a...

The Impact of Regulatory Goals on the Disclosure of Self-presentational Vulnerabilities

Individuals often disclose their self-presentational vulnerabilities, including the use of counterfeit products or weight-loss medications. Yet, despite the commonality of such vulnerable self-disclosure, little is known about who discloses, why they do so, and when they choose t...

Controlled Synthesis of Spherical Silver Powder via Bromide-Ion Capping of Silver Facets in Molten-Salt Electrodeposition for Photovoltaic Silver Paste

Abstract Spherical micro-nano silver powder plays a key role in heterojunction solar cells because it strongly affects electrode contact quality and ultimately device efficiency. However, conventional liquid-phase reduction usually relies on strong acids and organic reducing agen...

Closing the Gap From Both Sides: Why Empowering Educators and Researchers Is More Promising Than Engineering a New Field

ABSTRACT The persistent gap between reading science and classroom practice remains one of the most consequential challenges in education. A recent proposal in this issue calls for the creation of a new “engineering of reading” field to bridge this divide. This commentary argues t...

Enhanced charge separation in g-C₃N₄@MnFe₂O₄@rGO ternary heterostructure nanocomposite for visible light photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye and hydrogen production

In this study, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) reinforced MnFe₂O₄@ reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposite (g-C 3 N 4 @MnFe 2 O 4 @rGO) was prepared using a hydrothermal method followed by thermal treatment. The synthesized nanomaterial was used as a new visible-light photoc...

Beyond static validation: DRL reliability under temporal drift for edge-AI intrusion detection in cyber-physical-social systems

Purpose Edge-AI intrusion detection in cyber-physical-social systems (CPSS) must operate under temporal drift while respecting strict low-false-positive-rate (low-FPR) budgets. This study aims to evaluate whether a deep reinforcement learning intrusion detector, RO-DDDQN, provide...

Oil Revenue Absorption and Macroeconomic Vulnerability: Evidence from a DSGE Model of a Small Open Oil-Exporting Economy

Oil-exporting economies are notoriously sensitive to external shocks, but the importance of current oil revenue absorption for macroeconomic shock transmission has not been explored thoroughly. This paper constructs a stylized DSGE model to analyze how macroeconomic shock propaga...
