In mammalian and human embryonic development, the fertilized egg initially develops along a “default female (maternal-based) morphology” as a standard prototype, irrespective of its genetic sex (XX/XY). In this paper, we reformulate this initial developmental trajectory from phys...

Estimating the gender wage gap using stochastic frontiers: some modelling issues
Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyse the gender wage gap in Italy by adopting a Stochastic Frontier Approach, with the aim of assessing whether gender differences persist after controlling for individual and job-related characteristics and how modelling choices affect...

The Adoption Problem and the Nature of General Belief
Abstract The Adoption Problem suggests that it is impossible to rationally choose or adopt new basic logical principles. It aims to refute cognitivist views according to which adopting a logical principle is accepting or coming to believe a general principle, and then applying it...

BACKGROUND: Real-world data examining structured modality selection for mediastinal/hilar adenopathy in mixed malignant and benign cohorts is limited. We evaluated the performance of a multidisciplinary team (MDT)-guided strategy incorporating EBUS/EUS-B and EUS for both benign a...

Abstract Complex cross-modal de-novo associative learning generally requires numerous encoding exposures, but acquisition of an underlying mental schema of associative abstract rules enables insight-like accelerated new learning. Reports indicate that post-encoding sleep/rest off...

Base-modified aptamer-DAPI probe for label-free detection of doxorubicin in dairy and serum samples
Doxorubicin is an important chemotherapeutic agent, making its sensitive detection essential for therapeutic monitoring and food safety assessment. Although DNA aptamers exhibit high affinity and specificity toward doxorubicin, the absence of well-defined structural motifs often...

TB is a serious health challenge globally, with more than 10 million new cases every year and rising MDR and XDR variants diminishing the efficacy of existing chemotherapeutics. Although BCG vaccination confers protection in children, its limited ability to prevent adult pulmonar...
- Physics & SpaceOpen access
Building upon the constrained 3+1+2 multitemporal metric and the principle of Local Time Freezing, this paper reconceptualizes the weak interaction as "Topological Surgery"—the physical severing and reconnecting of fractional topological segments. By strictly applying 3D spherica...
- Materials & EnergyOpen access
Hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as fracking, along with other unconventional fossil fuel extraction methods, has sparked intense debate in Nigeria’s energy sector due to their complex environmental, social, and legal implications. As the global energy mix increasingly incorp...

Nanobodies Equipped with HaloTag Enable Scalable Fluorescence-Lifetime Multiplexing
Abstract Fluorescence lifetime (FL) is a robust strategy for multiplexed imaging; however, variability in fluorophores’ local microenvironment when used on affinity probes broadens lifetime distributions, limiting its practical applicability. We create a modular platform for FL e...
- BiologyOpen access
ABSTRACT Due to the scarcity of cell-adapted strains and limitations of current reverse genetics techniques, the factors determining cell tropism of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), a prototype gammacoronavirus , remain unclear. Here, we demonstrated that the expanded cell trop...

Introduction Research on music therapy for autistic adults remains limited, particularly regarding how adults experience improvisation-based group therapy. This study explored autistic adults’ lived experiences of participation in a group music therapy programme. To access embodi...
- AI & ComputingOpen access
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in water research. However, many AI models, particularly complex machine learning models, often generate outcomes that are difficult for humans to interpret. Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) has been developed to address...

Routing and Downlink Resource Allocation for Multicast Traffic in LEO Satellite Constellations
ABSTRACT In this work, we optimize unicast and multicast traffic delivery over non‐terrestrial networks (NTNs) to users on the ground through direct satellite downlink (DL). We consider a gateway‐free mesh architecture with low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites interconnected via inte...
