Analysis of the awareness of core knowledge on lung cancer prevention and treatment among relatives of medical students

Abstract Background Medical students are well-positioned to share scientifically valid and precise information about lung cancer prevention with their families. This practice plays a crucial role in enhancing awareness of core knowledge on lung cancer prevention and treatment (CK...

On variability in local field potentials

Abstract Neuronal coding and decoding would be compromised if neuronal responses were highly variable. Intriguingly, neuronal spike counts (SCs) show a reduction in across-trial variance (ATV) in response to sensory stimulation, when SC variance is normalized by SC mean, that is,...

OPTIMIZATION OF PERFORMANCE PARAMETER OF IC ENGINE POWERED BY BLENDED KARANJA BIODIESELS WITH DISTINCT INJECTORS USING TAGUCHI-BASED HYBRID APPROACHES

Performance characteristics and emissions parameters of a Kirloskar diesel engine having single-cylinder compression ignition (CI) with direct injection (DI), water-cooled, running at 1500 rpm with variable load were tested in the blending percentage of Karanja methyl esters (KME...

Public responses to jihadist terrorism on social media

In recent years, several major terror attacks in the name of political Islam have shaken Europe. This study analyzes public responses after such attacks to explore their impact on public views of immigration and intergroup relations. In particular, the study examines how public r...

Progression GWAS followed by functional characterization implicates E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM2 as a potential genetic modifier of Parkinson’s disease progression

ABSTRACT Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, affecting 10 million people worldwide. While genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified many genetic variants associated with PD incidence, the genetics underlying PD progression are poorly...

On the $L_{1}$ maximal regularity in the study of free boundary problem for the compressible fluid flows

In this paper, we consider the Stokes equations with non-homogeneous free boundary conditions, which are obtained by the linearization procedure of the free boundary problem of the Navier–Stokes equations describing the viscous compressible fluid flows. We prove the $L_{1}$ maxim...

Lower bounds for levels of complexes by resolution dimensions

Let [Formula: see text] be an abelian category. Denote by [Formula: see text] the bounded derived category of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we investigate the lower bounds for the levels of objects in [Formula: see text] with respect to a (co)resolving subcategory satisfyin...

A Dichotomy Theorem for Ordinal Ranks in MSO

We focus on formulae $\exists X.\, φ(\vec{Y}, X)$ of monadic second-order logic over the full binary tree, such that the witness $X$ is a well-founded set. The ordinal rank $\mathrm{rank}(X) < ω_1$ of such a set $X$ measures its depth and branching structure. We search for the le...

Reduced element for adaptive finite element analysis in maximum norm

Purpose This paper aims to propose a novel yet simple approach to the adaptive finite element (FE) analysis of two-dimensional boundary value problems (BVPs) in the maximum norm with local refinement of unstructured meshes based on the reduced element technique. Design/methodolog...

Checking Timed Bisimilarity with Virtual Clocks

Timed automata are a widely used formalism for specifying the discrete-state/continuous-time behavior of time-critical reactive systems. For the fundamental verification problem of comparing two timed automata, it has been shown that timed trace equivalence is undecidable, while...

Bridge positions of links that cannot be monotonically simplified

For any pair of integers $m$ and $n$ such that $3 < m < n$, we provide an infinite family of links where each link in the family has a locally minimal $n$-bridge position and a globally minimal $m$-bridge position. We accomplish this by applying the criterion of Takao et al. The...

Coordinated motion planning: Multi-agent path finding in a densely packed, bounded domain

Abstract We study Multi-Agent Path Finding for arrangements of labeled agents in the interior of a simply connected domain: Given a unique start and target position for each agent, the goal is to find a sequence of parallel, collision-free agent motions that minimizes the overall...

Delegated Portfolio Management With Random Default

ABSTRACT We consider the problem of optimal portfolio delegation between an investor and a portfolio manager under a random default time. We focus on a novel variation of the Principal‐Agent problem adapted to this framework. We address the challenge of an uncertain investment ho...

Double orthodontia formulas and Lascoux positivity

We give a new formula for double Grothendieck polynomials based on Magyar’s orthodontia algorithm for diagrams. Our formula implies a similar formula for double Schubert polynomials 𝔖 w ( x ; y ) . We also prove a curious positivity result: for vexillary permutations w ∈ S n , th...

Product Design in a Hedonically Differentiated Duopoly

Abstract Using a reduced version of the generalized hedonic linear (GHL) model developed by Pellegrino (2025. “Product Differentiation and Oligopoly: A Network Approach.” The American Economic Review 115 (4): 1170–225), we study the strategic design of products in a multidimensio...

Representation Stability in the Intrinsic Hyperplane Arrangements Associated to Irreducible Representations of the Symmetric Groups

Some of the most classically relevant Hyperplane arrangements are the Braid Arrangements B n and their associated complement spaces ℱ n . In their recent work, Tsilevich, Vershik, and Yuzvinsky [23] construct what they refer to as the intrinsic hyperplane arrangement within any i...

Integrating the Classical and Molecular Approaches Toward Passion Fruit Resistance Against CABMV

Abstract Passion fruit, a tropical species cultivated across various nations, faces challenges in expanding its cultivation areas due to several constraints, including total crop losses, caused by the fruit woodiness virus. In Brazil, this condition is attributed to the cowpea ap...

Interface as a design choice: How the implementation of interfaces influences coordination and performance in modular systems

Abstract Research Summary Modular systems play a central role in technological innovation. Such systems emerge when interdependencies among modules in a complex system are isolated through interfaces. While early seminal work highlighted the importance of interface design, subseq...

Information Geometric Regularization of the Barotropic Euler Equation

Abstract. Shock waves in gas dynamics feature jump discontinuities that hinder numerical simulations. Viscous regularizations are prone to excessive dissipation of fine-scale structures. In this work, we propose the first inviscid regularization of the multidimensional Euler equa...

Navigating aid and climate pressures to achieve food security in Somalia

Abstract Food security in Somalia remains a critical concern due to prolonged conflict, climate shocks, and economic instability. Recurrent droughts and floods have disrupted agricultural production, while insecurity has restricted access to markets and humanitarian assistance, r...
