Detectability of Forced ENSO Changes Under Global Warming: Insights From the Recharge Oscillator

Abstract We use perfect‐model, large‐ensemble nonlinear Recharge Oscillator (RO) simulations to quantify ENSO internal variability and the detectability of forced changes in ENSO characteristics. Fixed‐parameter simulations show that linear trends in ENSO standard deviation, peri...

Spatial correlation network structure and influencing factors of agricultural ecological efficiency under carbon constraints in China

Agricultural ecological efficiency (AEE) is essential for coordinating agricultural development with carbon reduction and ecological sustainability. This study evaluates the spatiotemporal evolution of AEE in 31 provincial-level units in China from 2007 to 2024 under carbon const...

Clinical outcome in patients undergoing ACL reconstruction in the presence of concomitant MCL injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis

The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to compare clinical outcomes between operative versus non-operative management of concomitant medial collateral ligament (MCL) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)injuries, and to compare clinical outcomes between patients with isolated...

Exploring pathways and barriers to wellbeing for racialized communities in public greenspaces: a photovoice study in Toronto, Canada

The presumption that all people experience greenspaces in the same ways and accrue universally positive impacts on health may inadvertently perpetuate social, environmental, and health inequities and uphold systemic barriers to wellbeing. The Park Perceptions and Racialized Reali...

Prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) vs. non-PCC strategies for warfarin reversal in left ventricular assist device recipients: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Background Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) prolong survival in end-stage heart failure, and warfarin thromboprophylaxis is recommended to prevent device thrombosis and thromboembolic complications. When bleeding occurs or emergency surgery is required, rapid anticoagulati...

Optimizing biosurfactant production through cost effectiveness and precision approaches

Biosurfactants (BSs) are surface-active compounds synthesized by several microbes, serving as a sustainable substitute for chemical surfactants due to their non-toxicity, biodegradability and environmental-friendliness. They have garnered considerable attention owing to their bro...

Genomic and phenotypic characterization of phosphate-solubilizing strain YNK-FB0058, which potentially represents a novel species within the genus Phyllobacterium

Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria are soil-dwelling probiotics that promote plant growth and convert unavailable phosphorus into absorbable forms for plants. A phosphate-solubilizing strain, YNK-FB0058, which potentially represents a novel species within the genus Phyllobacterium ,...

Massed and Distributed Training in a Canine Match-to-Sample Task: A Single-Subject Exploratory Study

The scheduling of practice may influence learning performance, behavioral engagement, and response speed across species. This exploratory study compared massed and distributed training in a visual match-to-sample task involving a three-year-old male mixed-breed domestic dog. A si...

An overview of the uses of polymers with intrinsic microporosity as binders for electrocatalysis

This comprehensive review provides a detailed analysis of the potential of polymers with intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) as specialized binders for electrochemical applications. The quest for improved fuel cell and electrolyzer performance has driven extensive research on binders....

Nanofibrous aerogels with continuous conductivity gradient for ultrabroadband absorption-dominant electromagnetic interference shielding

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shields are limited by a severe impedance mismatch with free space, leading to strong reflections and secondary radiation. Here, we introduce ultralight all-polymer aerogels featuring a continuous through-thickness conductivity gradient (MCAs),...

The Unfinished Ending: Disengagement, Ambiguity, and Self-Worth in Young Adult Romantic and Social Ghosting

Ghosting — the abrupt, unexplained withdrawal of communication in romantic or social relationships — has become a normalized feature of young adult relational life, yet its psychological mechanisms remain underexamined at the level of integrative conceptual synthesis. This paper...

Reviewer Paper Color and Test Performance Among College Students: A Pretest–Posttest Experimental Study

Visual characteristics of learning materials may influence attention, information processing, and memory, yet the role of paper color in printed review materials remains insufficiently examined in college settings. This study examined test performance among 30 college students wh...

Headache Attributed to Genetic Vasculopathies

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Headaches are a common chief complaint and a significant contributor to growing healthcare costs. Headaches are broadly categorized as primary or secondary, the latter indicating that they are a symptom of an underlying medical condition. Genetic vasculopathies...

Influencer Parasocial Trust and Purchase Intention Among Young Adult Social Media Users

Influencer marketing has become a dominant strategy for reaching young consumers, with source credibility widely theorized to shape purchase behavior through the psychological bonds followers form with influencers. However, evidence testing this mechanism specifically through par...

Prime-Star Localization and Second-Order Spectra of Finite Divisibility Cover Graphs

Let GX be the graph on the positive integers n ≤ X in which n is joined to np whenever p is prime and np ≤ X. Let AX be its adjacency matrix and let π(X) count the primes up to X. The paper proves λ1(AX)2 = π(X) + 4 ∑p ≤ X 1/(p−1) + o(1). More generally, after deleting a fixed fi...

Gut microbiome profiles in locally advanced rectal cancer after total neoadjuvant therapy: comparisons with healthy controls and associations with survival

The gut microbiome plays a key role in colorectal carcinogenesis, but its composition and prognostic relevance in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) remain underexplored. This study aimed to assess microbial diversity, identify distinct bacterial signatures in LARC patients co...

Comparison of joint mobilization vs. strengthening exercises for improving cervical proprioception in individuals with nonspecific neck pain: a randomized clinical trial

Patients with neck pain often experience proprioceptive dysfunction and other impairments. Although strengthening exercises and cervical joint mobilization effectively improve proprioception, their comparative effects remain unclear. This study compared cervical joint mobilizatio...

High-winding first-hit geometry and singular action finite parts near a reversible Hamiltonian saddle-focus

We consider a four-dimensional reversible exact Hamiltonian flow with a real-analytic saddle-focus and a transverse homoclinic orbit. Long saddle passages produce the familiar high-winding return strips, but separate continuation of these strips does not exclude additional return...

Gendered Norms of Violence: Female Education, Economic Empowerment, and Women's Acceptance of Wife Beating Across Countries

The persistence of social norms that legitimize intimate partner violence represents an important behavioral dimension of gender inequality. This study examined the relationships of female education, women’s employment structure, and gender parity in labor-force participation wit...

Extraversion and physical activity in older adults: a structural equation model with serial mediators of loneliness, anxiety, and life satisfaction

Extraversion is one of the most robust personality correlates of physical activity. However, the mechanisms linking extraversion to physical activity in later life remain insufficiently understood. Loneliness, anxiety, and life satisfaction may represent important pathways linkin...
