Coping with climate emotions: An experiment investigating the impact of emotion regulation on defensiveness, collective action intentions and policy support [Author Accepted Manuscript]

Based on self-determination theory, emotion regulation, and coping research, we argue that individuals employ different emotion regulation/emotion-focused coping strategies to handle threatening information about climate change, which are differently associated with the satisfact...

Access to Anticancer Drug Trials for Adolescents With Cancer in the United States

BACKGROUND: Adolescents with cancer are generally underrepresented in clinical trials. The extent to which cancer drug clinical trials have become more age inclusive over time is not clear. METHODS: We utilized ClinicalTrials.gov to identify cancer drug trials from 2005 to 2025 i...

Study on heterodyne detection efficiency of partially coherent beams with different polarization state combinations in atmospheric turbulence

Abstract Expressions for the heterodyne detection efficiency of the partially coherent electromagnetic Gaussian–Schell model (EGSM) in atmospheric turbulence were derived. In this study, the signal and local oscillator beams were configured in five different polarization states:...

Theoretical investigation of coupled rain-wind effects on the dynamics of continuous stay cables

Abstract Rain-wind induced vibrations present a serious risk to the durability and lifespan of cable-stayed bridges. This study investigates the complex dynamics of continuous stay cables with a moving water rivulet under pulsating wind conditions. A previously established theore...

Synthesis, characterization, and in vitro activity of piperine nanocrystals against protoscoleces of Echinococcus granulosus

Despite recent advances, current treatments for cystic echinococcosis (CE) still face challenges because of significant adverse effects and complications. This study investigates the synthesis, characterization, and in vitro activity of piperine nanocrystals (PIP-NCs) against E....

Machining feasibility comparison of homogeneous SiC and SiCf/SiC, Cf/SiC and CFRP composites processed by a green-light femtosecond laser

Purpose Continuous fiber-reinforced polymer or ceramic matrix composites are advanced materials and have been widely used and developed rapidly in the aerospace and automotive industries. However, their excellent mechanical performance causes severe tool wear and poor machining q...

Epidemiology of suicide among Austrian children and adolescents: 2015–2024

BACKGROUND: Mental health among young people and suicidality are major ongoing public health issues. This study aims to provide updated epidemiological information on youth suicides in Austria. METHODS: Suicide and population data for 10-19-year-olds were obtained from Statistics...

Techno-Economic Assessment of PEM Electrolyzer Coupled with High-Concentration Photovoltaics in Saudi Arabia

Green hydrogen (H2) production is a pivotal element of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. This study presents a comprehensive feasibility assessment of a high-efficiency H2 production system integrating a photovoltaic (PV) array and a high-concentration photovoltaic (HCPV) system with a...

From Affective Deficiency to Compensatory Overprotection: A Proposed Model of Parental Agency Substitution, Executive Undertraining, and Adult Functional Dependence

Overprotective parenting is commonly conceptualized as the opposite of neglect. This paper proposes, instead, that the two can coexist within a single developmental trajectory: a caregiver may be affectively insufficient in a child's earliest years and later become functionally e...

EFFECT OF Organisational CULTURE ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE IN HEALTHCARE INSTITUTIONS: A Structured Literature Review with Implications for David Umahi Federal University Teaching Hospital (DUFUTH)

Organisational culture shapes how employees interpret institutional expectations, interact with colleagues, respond to leadership, share knowledge and perform assigned responsibilities. This review synthesises the literature compiled in the source manuscript on the relationship b...

Too much or too little? Vocal accommodation and social evaluation of voice-based assistants in relational roles

Abstract Voice-based assistants (VBAs) increasingly function in relational roles such as tutoring, medical guidance, and customer service, prompting users to evaluate them as communicative partners. Drawing on Communication Accommodation Theory and the Stereotype Content Model, t...

Ferguson effects: libidinal geographies of “police disengagement” and late fascist urbanism

Since the rise of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, a prominent form of pro-police backlash has emerged, one that claims the BLM movement has caused police to “disengage” from interventions with Black and other racialized people and caused a corresponding increase in crime r...

Understanding and Detecting Android R8 Compiler Bugs

Android apps currently dominate the smartphone app market, and their reliability will significantly affect user experience and even induce security risks. Since Android Gradle Plugin 3.4.0 (April 2019), the R8 compiler serves as the default infrastructure in the Android build pro...

Diels-Alder polyurethanes for reversible-by-design adhesives and coatings

Adhesively bonded joints with debonding-on-demand characteristics are required to combine high mechanical response with improved durability and sustainable end-of-life management. In this work, a novel polyurethane system based on Diels-Alder (DA) chemistry is proposed as a reusa...

Deep learning and edge computing framework for proactive pothole detection with Internet of Things

Potholes are one of the major concerns in terms of infrastructure and safety. They are a major concern for the safety of bikers, pedestrians, and vehicles. For the safety and maintenance of roads, it is imperative that pothole detection is carried out in real time with high accur...

Development of Calcium Signaling in Postsynaptic Neurons of the Medial Nucleus of the Trapezoid Body in the Mouse

Abstract Purpose In the central nervous system, Ca 2 ⁺ signaling plays a pivotal role in various cellular processes, including neuronal development and maturation. Disruption of Ca 2 ⁺ homeostasis impairs auditory circuit formation, compromising auditory processing and behavior....

How We Simulate Nanopores

Nanopore technology has revolutionized single-molecule science by enabling ultrasensitive characterization of biomolecular structure and interactions via accessible, physics-based tabletop measurements. In a typical experiment, the chemical structure of a biomolecule is determine...

Feeling the Best Fit: The Role of Emotions in College Decisions

Using ethnographic observations and interviews with students and staff in a college access nonprofit (CAN), I show that college-going inequalities may also reflect structurally based emotional barriers and that these barriers can be overcome through opportunities to imagine futur...
