Delay Information Sharing in Two-Sided On-Demand Platforms

Problem Definition: We study delay information disclosure policies for on-demand platforms serving two user classes (customers and providers) who seek matches using the platform. The platform's objective is to maximize the match rate by choosing the level of information—no inform...

Platelets as regulators of cancer immunity: mechanisms and therapeutic perspectives

Abstract Platelets correspond to one of the most abundant components of the blood and shape the tumor microenvironment, modulate antitumor immune responses, and influence clinical outcomes in cancer patients. Recent studies have expanded our understanding of the mechanisms underl...

Microsoft's Majorana 1 Chip: Topological Qubits Using Fibonacci Anyons for Error-Resistant Quantum Computing — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Microsoft's Majorana 1 chip uses topological qubits based on non-Abelian anyons, specifically Majorana zero modes, to achieve error-resistant quantum computation. | MATH: Braiding of non-Abelian anyons follows the Fibonacci anyon model with fusion rules: \( \tau \times \...

Pathogen prevalence and health risks in European backyard poultry: a scoping review

Backyard poultry keeping has expanded across Europe, driven by increasing interest in locally produced eggs and meat. However, these small and often unregistered flocks may operate with limited veterinary supervision and variable biosecurity, creating opportunities for contact be...

Climate Change and Disease Risk in Bangladesh: A Century-Scale Warming Trend, Day-by-Day Patterns, a Six-Disease Seasonal Synthesis, and the Albedo-Driven Glacier-Melt-to-Flood Pathway

A century-scale climate trend analysis for Bangladesh (CRU TS4.07, 1901-2022), district-level (n=64) mapping of recent climate extremes (2017-2025), a seven-disease seasonal risk synthesis drawing on this author's six prior Bangladesh One Health papers (HPAI, rabies, Nipah virus,...

History-Dependent Gravity as an Emergent Renormalization Group Object: Spectral Flow of the Effective Average Action (Paper LXIV)

History-Dependent Gravity (HDG) introduces nonlocal memory kernels to capture the macroscopic imprint of quantum gravitational dynamics. However, the spectral density underlying these kernels is typically introduced phenomenologically. In this work, we demonstrate that this spect...

Complete Mitogenomes of Three Hyphessobrycon (Characiformes, Characidae) Species and Phylogenetic Analysis of Characidae

Advances in biotechnological tools have accelerated the genomic characterization of non-model organisms, providing insights for broader bioprospecting efforts. In this context, Hyphessobrycon, one of the most species-rich and widely distributed genera in the family Characidae, re...

Association of platelet count with incident motoric cognitive risk syndrome among Chinese adults aged 60 years or older: a national prospective cohort study

Abstract Background Motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR), defined by subjective cognitive complaints and slow gait in individuals without dementia, is a clinically relevant pre-dementia phenotype. Platelets are increasingly linked to inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and ne...

Timing of renal coordinator referral and risk of unplanned dialysis initiation in advanced chronic kidney disease: a retrospective cohort study

Guideline recommendations on the timing of pre-dialysis care coordination remain largely consensus-based, with limited outcome data supporting specific referral thresholds. This study evaluated the association between the timing of referral to a Renal Coordinator (RC) and the ris...

Enabling high-resolution wildlife tracking: antenna beam-based approach including novel per-position error estimations for automated radiotelemetry systems

Abstract Background The increasing importance of wildlife movement data in ecology and conservation has fueled the development of Automated Radiotelemetry Systems (ARTS) using very-high-frequency (VHF) transmitters. To make optimal use of this data, highly precise analysis method...

CLINICAL OUTCOMES OF UNIPORTAL INTERLAMINAR ENDOSCOPIC POSTERIOR CERVICAL DECOMPRESSION FOR CERVICAL SPINAL CANAL STENOSIS: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY OF 45 PATIENTS WITH 12-MONTH FOLLOW-UP

<p>Background. Cervical spinal canal stenosis is a frequent degenerative disease of the cervical spine, which can cause compression of the cervical nerve roots and spinal cord. Degenerative disc changes, osteophyte formation, facet joint hypertrophy and ligamentum flavum th...

Comparative Study of Top Contact Materials in CZTS Based Schottky Diodes

CZTS-based Schottky devices often suffer from performance variability due to inappropriate selection of metal contacts, which influences barrier height formation and charge conduction. This paper presents a detailed comparison study of four metals including copper, silver, alumin...

Tinkering at the margins? Korea’s reform strategies to close the gap between labour market insiders and outsiders

Over a relatively short period, Korea has developed a comprehensive welfare state centred on eight social insurance schemes. However, its heavy reliance on contributory social insurance has become increasingly inadequate for protecting atypical and non-regular workers, an expandi...

DASTNet-X: an explainable dual-attention based spatio-temporal network for arrhythmia classification

Deep learning (DL) models have demonstrated strong performance in electrocardiography (ECG) arrhythmia classification. However, the criteria and processes for selecting ECG samples for analysis are often unclear. This lack of transparency, together with the challenge of interpret...

Using Medical Device Approval Data to Illustrate Some Challenges in Regulating Repair Aftermarkets

Manufacturers of complex, hospital-based medical devices can exercise significant control over access to device parts and repair information, which can lead to excess costs and negative patient outcomes. As a result, there have been increasing calls to improve repair supply acces...

Content Mapping: An Experimental Analysis of Missing Message Content

ABSTRACT The Warning‐Response Model recommends the inclusion of five key content areas in warning messages to reduce information seeking that can lead to warning response delay: the message source, hazard (including its impact), affected location, recommended guidance, and time....

The Role of Authenticity and Creativity in Street Art Advertising

This paper discusses the motivations of brands that use street art in their communication strategies and the consequences of this artistic approach on consumer attitudes. A conceptual model suggests three key antecedents of the street art advertising message: authenticity, percei...

Autonomy, agency and value: an intrinsic approach to the value of autonomy does not escape the expressivist objection – a reply to Long

Long’s argument that an intrinsic approach to the value of autonomy could allow an autonomy-based approach to assisted dying to avoid the expressivist objection fails because autonomy is not the only morally valuable goal, so moral values other than autonomy also require consider...
