The Problem with Price Elasticity and Electricity Rate Design
For both electric utilities and regulators that oversee them, it is the elephant in the room—the issue that can never be discussed or even acknowledged. I am referring to price elasticity of demand. When a utility goes in for a rate case and is allowed a certain increase in reven...

MPR-MOPSO-ASFS: A Stable Multi-Objective Feature Selection Algorithm for Metabolomics
Background: Metabolomics data is inherently characterized by high dimensionality and small sample size. Existing multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO)-based feature selection algorithms suffer from two critical limitations: they generally neglect the stability of se...

Description of Elaiopezia olivaceobrunnea sp. nov. (Pezizaceae) and new collections of E. boudieri
New collections of Elaiopezia (Pezizaceae) species allow a better morphological and ecological circumscription of E. boudieri, as well as the discovery of an unknown taxon found in France and Germany, named E. olivaceobrunnea, well characterised by its smooth ascospores and asci...

The distribution and origin of Mercury’s crustal magnetization
Mercury is the only planet other than Earth to possess both a global magnetic field that arises from a core dynamo, and a crustal magnetic field that arises from magnetized rocks. Crustal fields provide unique records of a planet’s interior state and evolution because magnetizati...

CCR7-Mediated Dendritic Cell Migration: A Multilevel Analysis of Metabolic and Regulatory Mechanisms
Regulated cellular motility is a defining characteristic of immune cell functionality, which necessitates the intricate coordination of the actin cytoskeleton, metabolic dynamics, and the expression of cell surface receptors. While the cytoskeletal role has been extensively chara...

The Potential Role of 99mTc-FAPI SPECT/CT in the Staging of Mucinous Appendiceal Adenocarcinoma
We present a 55‑year‑old woman with adnexal masses and elevated CEA. Malignancy workup, adnexal biopsy, and intraoperative assessment revealed the appendix as the primary site, with pathology confirming mucinous adenocarcinoma. While mucinous tumors often show limited avidity on...

Cryotherapy for Subglottic and Tracheal Stenosis in Patients Without Tracheostomies
BACKGROUND: Cryotherapy is used in the endoscopic treatment of subglottic and tracheal stenosis (SGTS), though comparative data remain limited. METHODS: A retrospective chart review identified 49 patients with benign SGTS treated with standard endoscopic management or cryotherapy...
