Trajectory elevation in reach-to-grasp movements under increased arm weight and repeated trials

This study examined how three-dimensional upper-limb movement trajectories are modulated by changes in gravitational load. We hypothesized that individuals adopt a trajectory elevation strategy in reach-to-grasp movements performed on a desk to compensate for increased movement v...

Tips and Tricks for Small Molecule and Force Field Parametrization

In order to be productive in drug design and materials science, molecular dynamics force fields need to possess quality and fidelity that allow researchers to observe phenomena in simulation before observing them in experiment. The inverse scenario parameters and force fields tha...

Micro- and Nanoplastic Pollution and Renal Health: Human Evidence, Mechanisms, and Clinical Implications

Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are reported in blood, urine, and tissues, including the kidney, raising concern that the urinary system may be both a target and a route of elimination. This narrative review integrates analytical, toxicokinetic, experimental, epidemiological, and...

Phylogenomic Taxonomic Analysis of Ralstonia solanacearum Strains causing Bacterial Wilt Disease in Northeastern Argentina

Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC) is a genetically diverse group of plant pathogens, yet genomic data from South America remain limited. Here, we characterize 13 RSSC strains isolated from tomato, pepper, and eggplant in northeastern Argentina. Phylogenetic analysis o...

The Complete Einstein Equation of the Electron

We apply the full retarded Green operator to the harmonic-gauge linearized Einstein equation of a localized electron. The resulting causal field is compared with a classical truncation containing an instantaneous near-zone field and a finite outgoing radiation sector. Their diffe...

How Can We Help? An Exploration into Graduate Student and Faculty Perceptions and Use of Georgia Library Learning Online (GALILEO)

The authors explored the knowledge graduate students and faculty in Columbus State University’s College of Education and Health Professions have surrounding the Georgia Library Learning Online (GALILEO) platform. Additionally, the authors wanted to determine how students used GAL...

Isolated Cu+–O–Ga3+ Pairs as Structural Motifs that Enhance CO2-to-Methanol Conversion

Abstract Isolated dual-atom sites constitute a promising yet largely unexplored strategy for directing reaction intermediates in CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. In this work, we identify isolated Cu+–O–Ga3+ dual-atom motifs and provide a mechanistically consistent interpretation l...

Preregistered analysis plan and dataset-selection screening for "Directional Hull Summaries for Budgeted SVM Training: Coverage Limits and Reconstruction-Guided Repair"

This record registers the analysis plan for an expanded experimental study, together with the code and screening output that fixed the dataset suite. It was deposited before any subset selector was executed on that suite, and it contains no experimental results. The first round o...

Integration of Floor and Ceiling

In this document, I try to explore the integration of integrals involving floor and ceiling functions in various ways, from basic integration of the floor and ceiling functions themselves to intermediate compositions of floor and ceiling with other standard functions. I also touc...

Low-frequency resistance training enhances 2D strain-derived carotid strain and strain rate: a novel longitudinal application of strain imaging in healthy middle-aged females

Exercise delays arterial decline in middle‑aged females, yet participation declines with age. We assessed whether 12-weeks of low‑frequency resistance training alters carotid and brachial arterial function in inactive middle‑aged females. Sixteen inactive middle-aged females (57...

Use, trustworthiness and willingness to self-monitor health and personal wellness: a UK population survey

Abstract Background Public opinion about self-monitoring of health and personal wellness is important but largely unknown. This study investigated public attitudes towards self-monitoring of health and personal wellness. Methods Four thousand two hundred seventy UK adults selecte...

Missed prevention: global gaps in seat belt policy, monitoring, and road traffic mortality

Objective Seat belts are among the most effective interventions for reducing vehicle occupant fatalities, yet their global life-saving potential depends on their availability and use. This study documents and quantifies global gaps in seat belt governance and estimates the burden...

Characterizing Canadian Out-of-district Political Donations from 2015 to 2024

Federal political representation in Canada is geographical: one Member of Parliament (MP) represents one electoral district. Despite this representational structure, Canadians can legally donate to a host of political entities, regardless of proximity. Using a public dataset from...

The joint effects of digital transformation technologies and human lean practices on firm performance: an empirical investigation

Purpose This study examines how human lean practices (HLP), Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies, technical lean practices (TLP), operational performance (OP) and sustainable performance (SP) interact within the manufacturing sector of emerging economies under the constraints of a le...

Searching the Literature by Meaning: Benchmarking Free and Commercial Word Embedding Models on Social Work Text

<p><b><i><span>Purpose</span></i></b><span>: Locating relevant studies is the first step of evidence-based practice, yet most searching relies on keyword matching. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools called embedding models search by...

From regulatory approval to clinical practice: real-world eligibility for anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies in an Italian dementia-care network

Background: European approval of lecanemab and donanemab has shifted anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies from trial evidence to health-system implementation. In Italy, reimbursement decisions are pending, and real-world estimates of treatment-ready eligibility under Italian approp...

Large language models as designers for autonomous research of anisotropic polymer thermocells

Flexible thermoelectric materials face a persistent trade-off between output power and mechanical robustness. Here, we report OmniMat, a large language model-driven framework that designs experimental protocols in a human-in-the-loop workflow without relying on structured task-sp...

Living in Prison, Studying on Campus: Digital Challenges for Students in a UK Open Prison

This article examines the information behaviour of a group of students housed in an “open” prison in southern England and enabled to attend university during weekdays. This group faces unique challenges, unexplored in existing studies on incarcerated distance learners, as they ex...

Cedalion tutorial: a Python-based framework for comprehensive analysis of multimodal fNIRS and DOT from the lab to the everyday world

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and diffuse optical 1 tomography (DOT) are rapidly evolving toward wearable, multimodal, data-driven, and artificial-intelligence-supported neuroimaging in the everyday world. However, current analytical tools are fragmented across pl...

Nuclear Spin Oscillator Based on 3He to Search for Exotic Spin Coupling

We describe an experimental investigation of a nuclear spin oscillator based on 3He nuclei as a possible detector to search for exotic spin couplings. A magnetically shielded vapor cell comprising an alkali atom mixture (95% potassium and 5% rubidium) and 3He gas is polarized via...
