Therapies for Cardiovascular‐Kidney‐Liver‐Metabolic Syndrome: Reappraisal of Fibrates

ABSTRACT Cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity and metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis (MASH) frequently coexist and share overlapping pathophysiology, forming the proposed cardiovascular‐kidney‐liver‐metabolic...

Sustainable Management of Air-Conditioning Systems Condensate Water Recovery

The global water crisis represents one of humanity’s most pressing challenges, with over 2 billion people lacking access to safely managed drinking water. This study presents the implementation and evaluation of an innovative air-conditioning condensate recovery system at Buildin...

Does thinking about (in)active others influence physical activity intentions? An experimental investigation of availability heuristics and descriptive norms

Substantial nonexperimental research has demonstrated that individuals’ perceptions that personally important others are physically active (i.e., positive descriptive norm perceptions) are positively associated with physical activity (PA) intentions. However, little experimental...

FAMOUS MORB olivines as diaries of igneous mush processes in ocean ridge plumbing systems

Abstract Magma storage and differentiation commonly involve extensive interactions between melts and crystal-rich domains. However, the mechanisms controlling these interactions remain difficult to constrain because erupted lavas and deep plutonic rocks provide complementary but...

Complete mitochondrial genome assembly and comparative analysis of the endangered species Petrocosmea qinlingensis

Petrocosmea qinlingensis W. T. Wang (Gesneriaceae) is an endemic species from the Qinling Mountains of China . This species has a restricted distribution and a small population size and has been designated as a National Grade II Protected Plant in China. It has attracted taxonomi...

The long view: in conversation with the former editors of Journal of Cyber Policy

On 29 June 2026, the Editor-in-Chief, Tim Stevens, sat down with the Journal’s former editors, Emily Taylor and Joyce Hakmeh, to discuss the past, present and future of the Journal. Emily has been ...

Informal Economy Measurement with Satellite Data: Night-Light and Activity Indicators

Research article: Informal Economy Measurement with Satellite Data: Night-Light and Activity Indicators

Part VIII Formation Without Foreknowledge: Human Development Under Unknown Futures

The preceding parts of this research program examined the problem of preparing a human system for demands whose future domain cannot be reliably specified in advance. Part I introduced the Unknown Demand Problem. Part II distinguished domain-specific development from functional c...

Selenium-mediated modulation of physiological and biochemical traits in chili (Capsicum annuum L.)

Selenium (Se) is an essential element for both animal and plants having antioxidant and antivirus activities. It is not required in large amount, but its small amount can improve growth and yield. The higher levels of Se in the food depends directly on its amount present in the s...

Awake Blue Laser Excision and Balloon Dilation of Oropharyngeal Stenosis in High‐Risk Patients

Oropharyngeal stenosis is a rare condition that can develop following head and neck cancer treatment, leading to progressive dyspnea, dysphagia, and dysphonia. Patients with symptomatic dyspnea may benefit from endoscopic surgery. However, head and neck cancer survivors can have...

Controlling Valence Band for Cu2Sn0.38Ge0.62S3 Particles via Li Substitution at Cu Sites

Abstract Cu2(Sn,Ge)S3 (CTGS) is a promising near-infrared-responsive photocathode material whose conduction band minimum can be tuned by varying the Sn/Ge ratio, whereas direct control of the valence band maximum (VBM) remains challenging because of the large Cu 3d contribution t...

Specially Shaped Reinforced Concrete Columns in High-Rise Buildings Subjected to Lateral Loads: A Review of the State of the Art, Research Gaps and a Proposed Analytical Methodology

Specially shaped reinforced concrete columns of L-, T-, plus- and cross-shaped cross-section are increasingly adopted in residential and commercial construction because their limbs can be concealed within the thickness of partition walls, removing the projecting corners produced...

Source Transformation Integrity in Legacy COBOL Systems: A Static Analysis Approach to Detecting Format-Dependent Semantic Divergence

The compilation format flag for COBOL fixed-format source code is not stored in the source file — it lives in the build system, CI configuration, or operator invocation. When that flag changes, the positional semantics of column 7 (the indicator area) change with it: a comment un...

A Hardware-Error-Aware Time-Domain CIM Accelerator for AdderNet with Significance-Aware Dual-Mode DTC Encoding and Shared-Clock TDC Readout

Adder neural networks remove multiplication from convolution, yet their direct L1-distance datapath still requires subtraction, absolute-value generation, and wide accumulation. We address this cost by mapping the online L1 operation to minimum selection and time-domain accumulat...

Quasi‐Covalent Conductive Bridges in 2D Semimetal‐Semiconductor Contacts

ABSTRACT Achieving ultralow contact resistance in two‐dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors remains a key bottleneck for further device scaling. Although all‐2D semimetal/semiconductor van der Waals (vdW) contacts effectively suppress metal‐induced gap states...

The Case for a Gap between Verdict and Sentencing at Court-Martial

Abstract The military is the only American jurisdiction that nearly always proceeds immediately from a verdict of guilt to the imposition of punishment. This compressed timeline produces a self-reinforcing dynamic: Because counsel lack the time to develop detailed factual records...

Comparison of methods for in vivo and ex vivo quantification of iron in murine brain tumors

Background Iron is a redox-active biological trace element with concentration-dependent effects on human health and disease. This study evaluated multiple methods to quantify iron oxide nanoparticles for potential theragnostic applications in brain cancer. Methods Iron quantifica...

The Revolutionary Organization of the Tudeh Party: Iran’s Maoists and the Global New Left

In 1964, a group of Iranian students in Europe, inspired by the proliferation of armed, anticolonial movements around the world, split from Iran’s Tudeh Party and formed the Revolutionary Organization of the Tudeh Party (ROTP). The ROTP promoted guerrilla warfare along Maoist lin...

Performance Analysis of Typical Data Fusion Algorithms for Inertial Measurement Arrays

This paper investigates data fusion for multi-MEMS gyroscope arrays by comparing four methods: numerical averaging, weighted least squares, direct estimation Kalman filtering, and indirect estimation Kalman filtering. The state-estimation characteristics and observability of the...

Percussion, diuresis, and inversion therapy can facilitate lower renal pole stone passage after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and retrograde intrarenal surgery? A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Abstract Purpose Patients with lower pole stones (LPS) present a significant challenge for urologists because of the increased likelihood of residual fragments and recurrence following extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). Although...
