Islands and traversable wormholes

A bstract We study information recovery in black hole evaporation using traversable wormhole protocols in AdS 2 Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity with matter fields coupled to an external bath. By introducing a simple non-local interaction between left and right radiation regions, we gen...

Fecal microbiome transplant in food allergy in humans and mice identifies a role for bile acid metabolites in oral tolerance

The gut microbiome has been implicated in the pathogenesis of food allergy (FA), prompting microbiome-focused interventions. We evaluated, in a phase 1 open-label trial (NCT02960074), the safety and efficacy of oral encapsulated fecal microbiome transplantation (FMT) in 15 adults...

Evoltropic Theory: An Emergent Framework for Time, Gravity, and Light Propagation

This paper introduces Evoltropic Theory, a discrete causal framework in which time, gravity, and light propagation emerge from the dynamics of a static granular Evolution Network rather than from a fundamental spacetime manifold. The theory postulates that physical reality consis...

Mechanistic Decoupling of the cis - and trans -Cleavage Activities of Cas12a via Phosphorothioate-Induced Kinetic Trapping

Abstract CRISPR-Cas12a is widely utilized for genome engineering and nucleic acid diagnostics, being distinguished by its indiscriminate single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) trans-cleavage activity triggered by its specific cis-target recognition. However, the precise kinetic coordination...

Anisotropic variable negative-Poisson-ratio metamaterials for tunable multispectral camouflage and electromagnetic energy harvesting

Adaptive electromagnetic compatibility, camouflage, and energy conversion raises challenge in the swiftly responsive modulation. Herein, we designed pixelated negative-Poisson-ratio metamaterials that enable fast control over structural anisotropy and thus electromagnetic propert...

Gender Inequality and Social Capital in Academic Finance Networks

Abstract Finance academia remains heavily male dominated, yet the mechanisms driving women’s underrepresentation are not fully understood. This study examines how co-authorship networks shape gendered access to and mobilisation of social capital by integrating Social Capital Theo...

A Highly General Potential‐Gating Strategy for Electrocatalytic Upcycling of Waste Polyester Plastics

ABSTRACT Electrocatalytic upcycling of waste polyester plastics driven by renewable electricity offers a sustainable route for resource utilization, yet its practical implementation is hampered by the poor selectivity control stemming from the inherent complex monomer of polyeste...

Religious Education, Psychosocial Learning, and the Formation of Prosocial Behaviour: A Conceptual Study in Christian Educational Contexts

This article examines the role of psychosocial learning in the formation of prosocial behaviour within Christian religious education and broader religiously informed educational settings. While prosocial behaviour is frequently analysed from psychological, pedagogical, or sociolo...

Benzohydroxamic Acid as a Collector for Flotation of Chrysocolla: Mechanistic Insights and Bench-Scale Performance

Chrysocolla, a hydrated copper silicate mineral, is notoriously difficult to recover by conventional froth flotation due to its microporous structure, low hydrophobicity, impurity substitutions, and poor response to traditional collectors. This study evaluates the performance and...

An Information-Theoretic Efficiency of the "Slow Calcium Wave" in the Brain from a Computing Architecture Perspective

Modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Neural Network (ANN) architectures are rapidly approaching a fundamentalthermodynamic bottleneck characterized by exorbitant energy usage and physical thermal throttling. Conversely, the humanbrain achieves ultra-efficient distributed...

Dynamic chloride coordination enables selective pulsed electrocatalytic upcycling of 4-chlorophenol on FeN2O2 single-atom catalyst

The electrocatalytic upcycling of halogenated pollutants into value-added chemicals presents a sustainable frontier, yet precise transformation pathways remain challenging. Here, we report a pulsed electrocatalytic strategy that exploits a temporal modulation to realize a dynamic...

Mating-Type System Analysis and Domestication of Paramarasmius mesosporus Based on Whole-Genome Sequencing

Paramarasmius mesosporus is a wild edible mushroom with a strong aroma and high culinary value, capable of growing at temperatures up to 36 °C. However, its domestication system and the genetic basis of its sexual reproduction remain largely unexplored. In this study, fresh fruit...

Rural women and coping with extreme heat in South Western Zimbabwe: livelihoods, water and energy

This article focuses on rural women’s agency and innovation in the context of the global acceleration of climate change-induced extreme heat. Specifically, it considers the intersecting challenges encountered in relation to livelihoods, water, and energy, as well as the coping st...

Ecological quality assessment of the Keta Lagoon, Ghana: integrating water quality, sediment quality, and benthic macroinvertebrates

Coastal lagoons are ecologically and socioeconomically valuable ecosystems, yet they are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic pressures. This study assessed the ecological quality of the Keta Lagoon Complex Ramsar Site (KLCRS), Ghana, by integrating water physicochemical parameters...

A multiplicative additive bias variational framework for accurate and interpretable brain MRI segmentation in cloud-based medical imaging systems

Abstract Accurate brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) segmentation remains challenging due to intensity inhomogeneity, acquisition-related bias fields, and ambiguous tissue boundaries. To address these challenges, a Multiplicative–Additive Bias Single-Function Dual-Level-Set (...
