Public Engagement to Inform Messaging Aligning With the Muscle‐Strengthening Guidelines

ABSTRACT Introduction Physical activity guidelines and their supplementary messaging play a fundamental role in raising awareness and increasing knowledge at a population level. In the United Kingdom, there are no national‐level messaging campaigns accompanying the strength compo...

Identification of Unstable Rock Blocks and Rockfall Hazard Assessment on a Karst Steep Rock Slope Using UAV Photogrammetry

Steep rock slopes are widely distributed in the karst mountainous regions of southwestern China, where structurally controlled rockfalls frequently threaten transportation infrastructure and human safety. Accurate identification of unstable rock blocks (URs) and quantitative asse...

Methodology to identify ecologically matching areas and its applications in conservation planning

Identifying ecologically matching areas is both challenging and critical for understanding spatial patterns of biodiversity and advancing conservation planning. However, existing approaches often lack spatial flexibility, overlook shape and size constraints, or rely on limited en...

JAK2 V617F Clonal Dynamics from Clonal Hematopoiesis to Myeloproliferative Neoplasms: A Systems Biology Review of Digital PCR-Based Molecular Monitoring

Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is an age-associated premalignant state defined by somatic mutations in hematopoietic cells at a variant allele frequency (VAF) ≥2% in the absence of overt hematologic malignancy. Among CHIP-associated mutations, JAK2 V617F i...

The Database of Religious History as an Open-Access Digital Resource for the Study of the Ancient Mediterranean World

In the current digital world, there is an incredible amount of information at our fingertips. In fact, there is so much information that the sheer amount of data can be overwhelming. As historians, archaeologists, and cultural heritage experts, a significant amount of research or...

Appropriateness over Numbers: Pharmacological Burden and Scalable Medication Review in Older Adults

Polypharmacy in older adults is common, rising and inconsistently defined, and it is widely treated as a problem of how many medicines a person takes. This non-systematic narrative review argues that its harm depends more on the appropriateness of the regimen and the pharmacologi...

Rheological Optimization and Strength Development of Silica Fume-Modified All-Solid-Waste Grouting Material

With the continuous expansion of grouting material applications, solid waste to prepare grouting materials can effectively mitigate the environmental issues caused by waste accumulation. In this work, an all-solid-waste grouting material (ASWGM) was prepared with silica fume, coa...

An automated reduction pipeline for non-RV science on AAT/VELOCE

Abstract Veloce began operations in tandem with the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), at a time marked by rapid growth in the number of known exoplanets. This growth underscores Veloce’s core purpose: the detection of small planets orbiting cool stars. The spectrograp...

Association Between Postoperative Pain and Inflammatory Biomarkers After Ovariohysterectomy in Dogs: A Pilot Study

BACKGROUND: Postoperative pain is a complex, multidimensional phenomenon and its relationship with systemic inflammatory and stress-related biomarkers remains unclear in veterinary patients. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the temporal relationship between postoperative pain intensity...

Characterization of Anisotropic Optical Behavior in Phase‐Change Material Sb 2 Se 3

ABSTRACT Phase‐change materials with ultralow optical losses are enabling a new generation of reconfigurable photonic devices. Sb 2 Se 3 has emerged as a leading candidate owing to its negligible optical losses across the visible and infrared, yet how polycrystallinity translates...

A high-density real-time 1024-pixel terahertz near-field imager in 130-nm SiGe BiCMOS

Abstract Terahertz near-field imaging enables high-resolution biomedical and material characterization by combining the non-ionizing nature of terahertz radiation with sub-wavelength spatial resolution. However, the scalability of existing solid-state near-field imagers is fundam...

Disciplinary Composition of International Students in Russian Universities: Political, Administrative, and Market Logics of Internationalization in Historical Perspective

Abstract This paper examines the association between the disciplinary composition of international students and the prevailing logic of university internationalization in the given country in historical perspective. It uses an original longitudinal dataset compiled from archival...

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for Shame Related Offense Trauma in a Justice Involved Individual Presenting With Active Suicidality and Self‐Harm

A single-case study is presented, which describes the application of EMDR for a justice involved health care worker, presenting with active suicidality and self-harm, within the context of high levels of offense-related shame. "Alex" was a 42-year-old female, serving a prison sen...

Untargeted Metabolomics of Xylem Sap Exudates in Two Common Bean Genotypes with Contrasting Growth Rates Under Water Deficit During Pod Filling

Background/Objectives: Water deficit during the pod filling stage severely limits the productivity of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). Although the effects of water scarcity have been extensively studied in leaves and roots, the contribution of xylem sap to systemic metabolic a...

Comparative Prognostic Performance of Nutritional Indices in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Background/Objectives: Malnutrition adversely affects the clinical course of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), yet comparative data on objective nutritional indices remain limited. Methods: This study evaluated the prognostic performance of four indices—Controlling Nutritional Status...

Impact of timing on outcomes following redo-sternotomy after initial CABG or valvular surgery

The optimal timing of reoperation for those who need repeat coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and valve surgery is not well established. Early re-entries may be technically challenging due to adhesions and incomplete healing, while delayed interventions may expose patients t...

Interpositional Arthroplasty with Iliotibial Band Autograft Fixation to the Proximal Phalanx: Clinical Outcomes in Advanced Hallux Rigidus

Background and Objectives: Hallux rigidus is a degenerative condition of the first metatarsophalangeal joint that causes pain and limitation of motion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of a modified interpositional arthroplasty technique using an ilioti...

LOCAL TRADITION IN EARLY GREEK HEXAMETER

Abstract This article discusses local tradition and Panhellenism in early epos. Examination of three characters (Nestor, Iris and Sarpedon) challenges the popular model of isolated local traditions undergoing a Panhellenic synthesis around the eighth century. Instead, it is argue...

Accelerated Interior Point Algorithms for Rate‐Independent Single Crystal Plasticity at Small Strains

ABSTRACT Rate‐independent single crystal plasticity requires robust solution methods due to the non‐uniqueness of slip system activity. The interior point method, which enforces the yield criterion via slack variables and a so‐called barrier term, has proven both robust and compu...

Biomimetic Self-AdhesiveArtificial Periosteum withMicro/Nanofibrous Structure Accelerates Bone Reconstruction via SynergisticOsteogenesis and Angiogenesis

Abstract Critical-sized bone defects remain a major clinical challenge, and the periosteum, comprising a highly vascularized outer fibrous layer and an osteogenic inner layer, is crucial for bone repair. Herein, a biomimetic bilayer artificial periosteum (CP-HP) was developed, co...
