Scaling up Genomics

Introduction: Genomic testing has substantial diagnostic and clinical value in nephrology, yet integrating testing into routine care requires service-level changes to ensure timely and equitable access. Methods: We conducted an observational cohort study at four tertiary centres,...

Radiogenic heat production as an indicator for geothermal energy exploration in Kurdistan Region, Iraq

The apportionment of naturally occurring radionuclides ( 238 U, 232 Th, and 40 K) within granite samples supplies essential data related to heat generation and thermal properties of the crust. Radiogenic heat production (RHP) was estimated in this work for granite rocks gathered...

Judge rules against former graduate student

CASE NAME: Tabango v. Purdue University, et al ., No. 4:25‐CV‐25 (N.D. Ind. 05/26/26).

A Blockchain-Enabled Security Framework for Cloud-Based Sensor Systems with Deep Learning-Driven Attack Classification

Cloud-integrated sensor and Internet of Things (IoT) systems enable scalable data storage, processing, and intelligent monitoring, but their distributed nature exposes network-flow and host-level data to unauthorized access, tampering, and cyberattacks. This study proposes a Weig...

The Triality Quotient Paper

Objective. We construct four-dimensional conformal spacetime from a marked split-real D4 datum by degeneration, radical quotient, spinor restriction, and projective null geometry. Why (4,2;2). Let E = F ⊥ R, with F carrying signature (4,2), R carrying signature (0,2), and dim R =...

Microvessel Density as an Adjunctive Immunohistochemical Parameter in the Differential Diagnosis of Parathyroid Carcinoma and Adenoma—An Immunohistochemical Study

Background/Objectives: Distinguishing parathyroid carcinoma from parathyroid adenoma remains a major diagnostic challenge because these tumors frequently share similar clinical, biochemical, radiological, and histopathological features. Accurate diagnosis is essential for appropr...

Biology and agricultural relevance of Triticum timopheevii (Zhuk.) Zhuk. and Triticum zhukovskyi Menabde & Ericzjan as underutilised wheat crops historically cultivated in Georgia

The loss of genetic diversity as a result of modern wheat breeding has led to a renewed interest in ancient and underutilised wheats, which often display distinctive agronomic and ecological attributes. Triticum timopheevii and Triticum zhukovskyi are two hulled wheats of the ind...

Sensitivity of the Bootstrap sea ice concentration algorithm to surface parameters in the Antarctic marginal ice zone using passive microwave retrievals

Abstract. Changes in sea ice concentration (SIC) and derived sea ice extent have been monitored using microwave radiometers since the late 1970s, providing information about the polar response to climate change, making SIC an invaluable variable for numerical models. Antarctic se...

Swin-DAFU: denoising-augmented feature fusion unit for breast lesion segmentation and classification in 2D mammograms

Breast lesion segmentation and benign/malignant classification from 2D mammographic images remain challenging because lesion boundaries are often subtle, irregular, and affected by variations in breast density, image contrast, and acquisition conditions. This study presents Swin-...

Colonial history shapes the pathways toward energy independence driven by renewable energy innovation

Energy independence is a cornerstone of national sovereignty, increasingly dependent on renewable energy development. Yet structural inequalities rooted in colonial history, institutional path dependence, and global innovation barriers shape the effectiveness of technology-enable...

On Hauntology in Music and Musical Hauntings

In music critic Mark Fisher’s Ghosts of My Life: Writings on Depression, Hauntology + Lost Futures, he asks, ‘why hauntology?’ (Fisher 2022, 16). In the 2022 introduction to the second edition of F...

Reproductive anxiety and fertility intentions: Gender differences in social mentality among university students

Reproductive anxiety has emerged as an important concern among university students, shaping their perceptions of fertility, family formation, and future life planning. This study explored the gendered experiences of reproductive anxiety and its influence on fertility intentions a...

Asymmetric defect distribution generates bulk Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction in Pt/Co/Pt

The Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DMI) in magnetic multilayers plays a pivotal role in spintronic applications by enabling the stabilization and manipulation of chiral spin textures, including chiral domain walls and skyrmions. While interfacial DMI in asymmetric multilayers...

Changes in resting-state functional connectivity between large-scale brain networks after an intensive arts intervention for adolescents with depression

Emerging data support the benefits of creative arts interventions for addressing depression in adolescents, but the neural mechanisms are poorly understood. This study examined changes in connectivity among large-scale brain networks implicated in both depression and creativity,...

Discrepancies Between Self-Reported and Peer-Attributed Frequencies of AI-Assisted Academic Cheating Among Undergraduate Students

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has intensified concerns about academic integrity, yet little is known about discrepancies between students’ self-reported frequencies in AI-assisted academic cheating and the frequencies they attribute to their peers. Using an anonymous...

Stearic acid-modified calcium sulfate whiskers as reinforcements for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene

Industrial solid waste is an abundant but underexploited feedstock for advanced materials production. Herein, we develop a scalable strategy for the high-value utilization of flue gas desulfurization gypsum from Baotou Iron and Steel Group. We converted it into high-aspect-ratio...

Experiences of Perinatal Personnel With Values Clarification Workshops About Abortion

Importance Hospital-based labor and delivery (L&D) units have clinical expertise to provide second-trimester induction abortion and can help ensure patient access to abortion as legal and systematic barriers shift the US care landscape. However, hospitals may be reluc...

Effects of Vegetation Restoration on Soil Phosphorus Fractions and Functional Genes in Alpine Semi-Humid Sandy Land

Although vegetation restoration is widely applied to reverse desertification in alpine sandy lands, its duration-dependent coordination of soil phosphorus (P) pools and biological P cycling remains unclear. We examined alpine sandy lands restored with Salix cupularis for 5, 10, 1...

Fatigue-induced decline and recovery of maximal motor unit firing rates did not differ between males and females in two muscles of the quadriceps femoris

Studies on sex-related differences in motor unit (MU) behaviour with muscle fatiguing tasks are limited, particularly during contractions of maximal intensity and usually to one muscle within a synergistic group. Therefore, the purpose was to investigate the influence of sex and...

Spatial Correlation Network Assessment of the New Quality Productive Forces Among 283 Chinese Cities: Network Characteristics and Structural Resilience Features

Cities, being elementary concentrations of socio-economic activities and resource-environmental pressures, confront significant challenges in promoting new quality productive force (NQPF) development because technology, resource, and information conditions may be spatially associ...
