Development of an Explainable GeoAI Wildfire Risk Analysis Model Using Multi-Source Geospatial Data

Accounting for approximately 31% of the global land surface, forests play a critical and indispensable role in sustaining ecological balance. Among the various pressures affecting forests, forest fires constitute a major environmental problem, posing significant threats to natura...

Global sequential equilibrium

Abstract This paper extends the solution concept of sequential equilibrium (SE) to games with infinite decision points and actions, thereby introducing global sequential equilibrium (GSE). While qualitatively similar to SE, GSE distinctively defines posteriors globally as whole p...

A Tribute to Jon Conte: Editor of the Journal of Interpersonal Violence

in 1986. For this festschrift, authors were asked to identify a research question or questions that need to be addressed in understanding, preventing, and responding to interpersonal violence. I have chosen to focus on two questions that both deal with the impact of the sources o...

DREAM D6.9_RP2 update of DMP

The purpose of the DREAM project's Data Management Plan (DMP) is to plan the management of the data which is being generated, collected, and processed in the framework of the project. The DMP ensures the data is managed according to the Horizon Europe FAIR principles (Findability...

Windmill Problem Explained: 2011 IMO P2 and Garment Folding Robotics — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: The search results are mostly video titles and abstracts, not actual solutions. The only concrete mathematical content is the 2011 IMO windmill problem (P2) and a robotics paper on garment folding. No IMO 2025/2026 solutions are present. | MATH: Windmill problem (2011 IM...

Toxin-mediated tRNATrp depletion drives Trp-codon-dependent reprogramming in Mycobacterium tuberculosis while selectively enriching the PDIM biosynthetic machinery

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) must adapt to host-imposed stresses that limit its growth and ability to establish an infection. One important immune-regulated host defense mechanism involves competition between host and pathogen for tryptophan (Trp). Although Mtb is a Trp proto...

Evolutionary Divergence and Essentiality of the Single Tim17‐Centered Translocase of the Mitochondrial Inner Membrane in Trypanosoma brucei

ABSTRACT Translocase of the mitochondrial inner membrane (TIM) is essential for importing nuclear‐encoded proteins, a critical process for organelle biogenesis and function. While TIM is well‐characterized in a wide range of eukaryotes, it is remarkably divergent in the parasitic...

Development and Validation of a Blood Test Informed Risk Prediction Model for Lung Cancer—The Copenhagen Lung Cancer Risk Model (CPH-Lung)

Purpose Lung cancer screening reduces lung cancer mortality, but identifying high-risk individuals remains difficult. We wanted to develop a blood test–based risk model (CPH-Lung) to improve risk stratification before image-based screening. Materials and Methods We included indiv...

Libra: A Prototype for Provenance-Aware Fairness Audit Parameters, Implementation Review, and Descriptive Sensitivity Analysis

Fairness audits require choices about groups, reference populations, outcome definitions, and decision thresholds. This unreviewed technical preprint presents Libra, a prototype that stores some of those choices with process metadata and applies a selected threshold and reference...

Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation Improves Motor Function of Upper Extremity in Adults with Chronic Ischemic Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial

BackgroundUpper limb motor dysfunctions are common after stroke affecting daily activities. About 60% of survivors still have impairment despite rehabilitation.ObjectiveTo assess the effect of transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS) on upper limb motor function i...

Western Trauma Association critical decisions in trauma: Traumatic hemothorax

ABSTRACT: Traumatic hemothorax is a common consequence of thoracic injury, with management strategies ranging from observation to tube thoracostomy and operative intervention. This Western Trauma Association algorithm provides a practical framework for the evaluation and manageme...

Searching for the Ideal Selection of Cognitive Screening Tasks for Early Detection of Cognitive Decline in Older Individuals With Low Literacy

ABSTRACT Background Tests for detecting neurocognitive disorders may not be suitable for individuals with low educational levels. This study presents a battery of cognitive tests and tasks to improve the detection of cognitive decline in older adults with different literacy level...

Groundwater–Stream Connectivity Under Climate Change: Implications for the Ecology, Conservation and Sustainability of Urban Streams

Freshwater systems, including urban streams and groundwater, are increasingly affected by climate change through altered precipitation, rising temperatures, droughts, floods, and changing water demand. This narrative review synthesizes evidence on how these pressures modify groun...

CoFeNiCuMn layered double hydroxide as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for rechargeable zinc-air batteries

In this work, the CoFe, CoFeNi, CoFeNiMn, CoFeNiCu, and CoFeNiCuMn layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were synthesized by a hydrothermal method for catalyzing the oxygen evolution (OER) and oxygen reduction (ORR) reactions. According to X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spe...

Monitoring Sustainable Soil Tillage Methods for Climate Change Mitigation: Aggregate Stability

Soil aggregate stability is a critical indicator of the physical integrity, durability and quality of soil structure. It is also used as a fundamental criterion in evaluating sustainable soil management practices. Aggregate stability is an important potential early indicator of s...

C‐reactive protein–triglyceride glucose index and all‐cause mortality in postmenopausal women: A dual‐cohort study from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study

BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance and chronic inflammation each predict cardiovascular mortality, but they are usually studied separately. The C-reactive protein-triglyceride glucose index (CTI) combines both, yet its prognostic value in postmenopausal women, who experience concurre...

Mpox and Varicella Zoster Virus coinfection in endemic and outbreak settings: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background MPOX-VZV co-infection poses diagnostic challenges and public health implications due to the overlap in clinical presentation and complications. Evidence on the epidemiology and clinical outcomes of MPOX-VZV co-infection remains limited. This systematic review...

Leveraging Cubenes to Access Highly Functionalized Fused Cubes

Abstract Since 1913, cubane has fascinated chemists owing to its remarkable structure. More recently, however, cubanes have emerged as attractive bioisosteres for aromatic rings. Although substituted derivatives are relatively common, ring-fused cubanes (a.k.a. “fused cubes”) are...
