ABSTRACT Dynamic molecular martensites exhibit large, reversible deformations and high force densities. However, device integration has been limited by the brittleness and poor formability of single crystals. Here, we report a thin‐film route that translates molecular cooperativi...

This study examines how Perumal Murugan’s Seasons of the Palm and Pyre represent the relationship between caste, ecology, and psychological suffering through the concept of solastalgia. While solastalgia is often understood in relation to environmental destruction or climate-rela...

Under the Know it-Do it-Love it (KDL) framework, structured physical activity is expected to support adolescents’ social development. Guided by the KDL concept, this study examined the longitudinal association between engagement in fundamental movement skill (FMS)-related activit...

Vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs) are a major cause of emergency department (ED) utilization in children with sickle cell disease (SCD). In Western French Guiana, recurrent VOC-related ED encounters may reflect both disease severity and barriers to longitudinal preventive care. We con...

We compare a radial-basis-function support vector machine (SVM) with a Gaussian naive Bayes (NB) classifier on a reproducible synthetic binary task designed for controlled evaluation. The data matrix contains 1,000 samples and 20 features, of which 15 are informative and 5 are re...

Accurate and computationally efficient battery models are essential for battery management systems and battery digital-twin workflows. However, model selection requires careful evaluation of the trade-off between dynamic voltage fidelity, computational effort, energy accounting,...

ABSTRACT The present study aims to explore interpersonal conflicts involving adolescents living in residential children's homes and group homes through caregivers' interpretations, with particular attention to the psychological meaning and relational functions of conflict. The st...

Ectopic pancreas is a relatively common submucosal lesion of the stomach and is generally considered benign. Emerging evidence, however, suggests that ectopic pancreas may coexist with synchronous neoplastic changes of the overlying gastric mucosa. Because submucosal protrusions...

Sex-specific effects of parental age on the physiology of offspring in a long-lived seabird
Studying senescence in wild organisms reveals evolutionary trade-offs and life-history strategies that cannot be captured in laboratory settings. Long-lived seabirds from rare known-aged populations provide excellent models for examining aging under natural conditions. Because re...

Abstract Cellular resilience to therapy often arises from adaptive mechanisms that safeguard iron–sulfur (Fe–S) proteins. Here, we present a rational strategy to overcome such resilience by integrating two synergistic vulnerabilities, copper toxicity and Fe–S cluster homeostasis,...

Abstract Background Flysheet use is common without any published scientific evidence to justify their use. Objectives To demonstrate the effectiveness of flysheets at reducing fly avoidance behaviours and measuring changes in body temperature, heart rate, and cortisol levels. Stu...

Anomaly Score-Based Cross-Machine Wind Turbine Component Diagnosis: A Case Study and Benchmark
Reliable wind turbine component diagnosis requires cross-machine knowledge transfer since verified fault cases are rare. However, coarse fault interval annotations and turbine-specific operating behavior make this transfer difficult. This paper introduces a benchmark framework fo...

Understanding bacterial communities responsible for the slow biodeterioration of waterlogged archaeological wood is critical for reconstructing decay processes, predicting preservation trajectories, and informing conservation strategies. The extraction of sufficient and amplifiab...

Interpretable epigenetic clock links aging pathways and disease-specific methylation profiles
Abstract We developed an interpretable blood-based epigenetic clock to estimate DNA methylation age and identify disease-specific DNA methylation alterations. Using 8233 Illumina methylomes from healthy controls and nine age-associated diseases, we used ridge selection to retain...

Skills to build the nation: immigrant labour market and Canadian nationalism
In Skills to Build the Nation, Chatterjee argues that the postwar focus in Canadian immigration and integration policies on skill (and, relatedly, Canadian experience) is not instrumental but the l...

Abstract The use of wastewater-influenced surface waters for agricultural irrigation is common in many regions, yet its implications for soil geochemistry remain insufficiently characterized, particularly in Andean micro-watersheds. This study evaluates the occurrence and distrib...

Electric Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows and Flexible Service Locations
The rapid development of shared delivery, parcel lockers, and community pickup services has enabled customers to receive orders at multiple alternative service locations. In such scenarios, the fixed-location assumption adopted in traditional electric vehicle routing problems is...
