Density profiles and direct correlation functions from density functional theory in binary hard-sphere crystals: Substitutional solid and interstitial solid solution

We determine the fully resolved equilibrium density profiles for two binary hard-sphere crystal structures using classical density functional theory through the White Bear II functional from fundamental measure theory. While for the substitutional crystal, in which some hard sphe...

Boost-invariant Perfect Fermi–Dirac Spin Hydrodynamics

We analyze the effect of using the Fermi–Dirac statistics, rather than its Boltzmann approximation, in numerical simulations of perfect spin hydrodynamics of particles with spin \(1/2\). The system considered is boost invariant, transversely homogeneous, with corrections to the b...

Managing the Unmanageable: Multimodal Artificial Intelligence for Unstructured Data Management and Analysis

Today, data are no longer confined to numerical values arranged in row-by-column matrices or stored neatly within relational databases. One of the defining characteristics of big data is its high variety, encompassing unstructured and multimodal forms such as text, audio, images,...

Agentic social affordance framework (ASAF): agent identity design as a collaboration interface in multi-agent systems

As AI systems evolve from single conversational agents to complex multi-agent architectures, a critical design dimension has been overlooked: how the social identity of individual agents shapes human behavior within the collaboration. This paper introduces the Agentic Social Affo...

Theory of Architecture as the Maestro Organising AI Text-to-Image Prompts

In the wake of the Fifth Industrial Revolution, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a disruptive force in architectural design processes. One AI technique is text-to-image, which generates visual representations from textual descriptions. This research questions how architect...

Addendum to Postulate IV: The Universal Geometry of the Elements (The 3-6-9 Resonance Matrix and the Cosmic DNA)

Contemporary chemistry has historically structured the Periodic Table based on electron shell configurations, resulting in a fragmented, two-dimensional grid that obscures the true thermodynamic and vibrational nature of matter. Building upon the Toroidal Atomic Architecture esta...

Magnetically Tunable Chiral Phonon Polaritons withMagneto-Optical Bound States in the Continuum

Abstract Chiral phonon-polaritonic states are of interest for handedness-dependent light–matter interactions, yet their realization and magnetic control remain challenging, while direct magneto-optical tunability of phonon-polaritonic media is limited. Here, we propose a hybrid p...

Satellite Altimetry Reveals an Eddy Train Along the Ross Sea Shelf Break

Abstract Oceanic circulation along the Antarctic shelf break regulates heat and material exchanges between the continental shelf and the open ocean, playing a crucial role in ice shelf melting and global overturning circulation. However, the circulation remains poorly understood...

Multiple spiking functionalities in annealing-optimized Ag/Hf0.5Zr0.5O2-based memristive neurons

Rapid progress of artificial neural network applications in recent years has led to the issue of unprecedented energy consumption. It can be solved by the implementation of energy-efficient hardware based on non-von Neumann architectures, which requires the development of electro...

Spatiotemporal linkage and transmission of urban heat islands in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration: the role of urban heat advection

Abstract. Urban heat islands (UHIs) substantially modify the urban thermal environment, yet the contribution of non-local processes such as urban heat advection (UHA) in dense urban agglomerations remains poorly quantified. Using five years of high-density automatic weather stati...

A conserved grain-associated immunosuppressive niche in Sudanese patients with mycetoma

Abstract Mycetoma is a neglected tropical disease caused by various bacterial and fungal pathogens that has a significant health impact across a broad geographically defined “mycetoma belt” spanning South America, Africa and Asia. Histologically, mycetoma is characterised by inva...

A three-dimensional morphoelastic model for self-oscillations in polyelectrolyte hydrogel filaments

Abstract We introduce a three-dimensional model for polyelectrolyte hydrogel filaments operating in a fluid environment under an electric field. The formulation builds on a morphoelastic framework for inextensible and unshearable rods, such that the filament’s activity is encoded...

Drivers of Atmospheric Volatile Methylated Sulfur Variability Across the Southern Ocean and Antarctic Coast

Abstract. Biogenic volatile methylated sulfur (VMS) gases, dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and methanethiol (MeSH), are major precursors of climate-cooling sulfate aerosol, yet their sources, co-emission and fate remain poorly constrained over the Southern Ocean and Antarctica. In this st...

Carbohydrate Intake Ratios and Diabetes Risk in Asian Populations A Clinical Review of Quantitative Risk Intervals and the FEED ATOMS Behavioral Model

AbstractBackground: Asian populations exhibit a significant positive association between high carbohydrate intake and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) risk due to inherently lower insulin secretory capacity and refined starch staples. This review synthesizes recent evidence across carbohyd...

A genome-wide in vivo screen reveals fitness pathways required for streptococcal infective endocarditis

Abstract Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life-threatening disease most often caused by blood-borne bacteria that infect previously damaged cardiac tissue. Despite the importance of this disease, the genetic basis for IE virulence remains poorly defined. Here, we present the firs...

Local Chemistry-Guided Molecular Beam Epitaxy Growth of SnSe on MgO via Combined ReaxFF Modeling and Machine Learning

Subtle variations in local growth chemistry can fundamentally alter the morphology of layered chalcogenide thin films, yet the atomic-scale mechanisms underlying this sensitivity remain poorly understood. Here, we combine molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) experiments, reactive molecul...

Accretion disks in Schwarzschild-MOG and Kerr-MOG backgrounds: MOG parameter in terms of observational quantities

Abstract We apply a general relativistic framework to static and rotating black hole solutions in Scalar–Tensor–Vector Gravity or modified gravity (MOG). Our results yield exact analytic, closed-form relations expressing the mass M , the MOG coupling parameter $$\alpha $$ <mml:ma...

ARF-YOLO: Attention-guided adaptive resolution-aware feature learning for UAV remote sensing object detection

<title>Abstract</title> Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based remote sensing object detection faces three fundamental bottlenecks: (1) insufficient resolution diversity in single-scale detection heads, causing irreversible spatial detail loss for small targets; (2) semantic gap acc...

Can you run from your worries? The effects of exercise on anxiety-like behaviour and immune signaling in female and male mice

ABSTRACT Exercise is a positive health behaviour associated with improved mood. However, the mechanisms underlying the benefits of exercise on affective health are unclear, particularly with respect to type of exercise and sex. Chronic exercise decreases neuroinflammation, which...

Plea Bargaining in the United States Military

Abstract This article offers a primer on plea bargaining in the U.S. military justice system. American military justice is like criminal justice in the rest of the country in that the lion’s share of cases are plea bargained. But there are key differences between military and civ...
