The effect of prenatal environment on brain mitochondrial function and prey detection in a lizard

Abstract The ability to detect prey is crucial for survival in many animals. However, prey detection is a cognitive process that can be influenced by early life conditions such as prenatal stress or temperature. Mitochondrial function is likely to underlie these effects because c...

Super Warm Early Eocene Simulations With HadGEM3‐GC31‐LL

Abstract The early Eocene Climatic Optimum (EECO; 53.3–49.1 million years ago) represents the period of greatest sustained warmth in the Cenozoic (last 66 million years), with proxy‐data indicating global‐mean temperatures 10–16°C above preindustrial and atmospheric concentration...

Clinical outcomes of primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with concomitant lateral meniscal posterior root tear repair versus isolated anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Introduction Lateral meniscal posterior root tears (LMPRTs) commonly occur with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, but clinical outcomes after concomitant repair remain unclear. Aim This systematic review and meta-analysis compared postoperative outcomes after ACL reconst...

A hydroinformatics framework for multisource precipitation merging and SPI-based drought monitoring in Eswatini

ABSTRACT Graphical summary of the study. A map of Eswatini shows elevation, agroecological zones, and training and testing rain gauges. AgERA5, ERA5-Land, ARC2, and CHIRPS are combined in four precipitation configurations and modelled using Random Forest and XGBoost, with and wit...

Time-of-Day Variation in Knee Extensor Strength and Fatigue Is Associated With Circadian Phenotype in Healthy Young Adults

Time-of-day variation in neuromuscular performance is well established, but the contribution of circadian phenotype remains unclear. This study examined whether maximal knee-extensor strength and fatigue resistance differ between morning and evening and whether chronotype and act...

Sustaining Data-Rich Web Portals with Limited RSE Resources: A Headless CMS Pattern

Public-facing sites for scientific and policy reporting constantly evolve as narratives, imagery, and visualizations are revised by domain experts with little to no coding experience. While edits are continuous and unpredictable, developer capacity remains limited. This leads to...

Field-based vital-capacity changes following a 12-week athletic skills model-informed curriculum: a retrospective non-randomised comparison in one Chinese primary school

This retrospective non-randomised comparison examined routine school records from 1,214 students in Grades 2–6 (607 per condition) in one urban public primary school in Southwest China. Curriculum allocation occurred at the level of 28 pre-existing physical-education (PE) teachin...

Symmetry-driven correlation patterns in one-dimensional periodic fermionic systems: Closed-form expressions and exact selection rules for correlation functions, entanglement entropies, and mutual information

We present an analytical study of the spatial structure of correlations in periodic fermionic systems at the single Slater determinant level, focusing on the cyclic case. Exploiting cyclic symmetry, the transformation from localized orbitals to molecular orbitals is simultaneousl...

The Importance of Nanoscale Phenomena in Electrolyte Behavior: Acetonitrile-Aqueous Zinc Sulfate Electrolytes

Abstract Electrolytes composed of mixed solvents are of significant scientific and technological importance in lithium-ion and beyond-lithium-ion batteries, and more broadly across physical chemistry. Their emergence has highlighted the importance of multiscale phenomena, particu...

Intersecting Identities: How Gender and Disability Shape Voter Perceptions of Election Candidates

Voters’ perceptions of election candidates are known to be shaped by stereotypes about candidates’ characteristics and social identities, including gender and disability. More recently, scholars have started paying attention to how the intersection of politicians’ identities shap...

Two-stage classification of glioma subtypes using a hybrid CNN-ViT model

This repository contains the research code for glioma subtype classification using a hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Vision Transformer (ViT) framework. The project investigates the use of CNN-based feature extraction and transformer-based visual representations for...

The fossil record of crocodyliform eggs, eggshells, and nests: a deep-time synthesis and evolutionary perspective

Crocodyliform eggs, eggshells, and nests provide essential data regarding reproductive biology, nesting behaviour, and ecological adaptations across deep time. Unlike skeletal remains, eggs and nests remain relatively scarce and have historically received limited attention in pal...

Comparative effectiveness of amlodipine versus nifedipine prescribed at discharge in patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack: A nationwide 5-year follow-up registry study

Background Amlodipine and nifedipine are the most commonly prescribed calcium channel blockers (CCB) for patients suffering from ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Nevertheless, there is a scarcity of direct comparative evidence on their effectiveness. This study...

On the Fourier transforms of rational, trigonometric, and inverse trigonometric functions

In this paper, we derive the Fourier transforms of arbitrary rational functions in the sense of distributions by means of Jordan's lemma and contour integration. In addition, we obtain the Fourier transforms of all trigonometric functions in the sense of distributions, and the po...

The Relationship Between a Wildlife Conservation Project Involving Scientist-Farmer Collaboration and Farmers’ Attitudes and Behaviors Towards Conservation Science and the Environment in Switzerland

Considering agriculture’s significant contribution to the environmental crisis, farmers play a crucial role in conservation. It is thus important to explore the drivers motivating them towards sustainable practices. Farmer-scientist collaboration is a promising tool to promote pr...

How followers evaluate social media influencers’ communication: A persuasion‐based perspective and research agenda

Abstract Scholarly research on social media influencers is expanding. Although the field has grown substantially, its research base remains fragmented. This is largely due to the multitude of disciplines upon which influencer research draws and to the diverse perspectives applied...

Translation indeterminacy and the distributional fallacy

Large language models (LLMs) are commonly associated with the distributional hypothesis, according to which (1) semantic meaning is grounded in distributional patterns of linguistic context, and (2) knowledge of cross-linguistic distributional correspondences allows for successfu...

The impact of GenAI on the future of requirements engineering

Abstract Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly large language models (LLMs), are transforming how we design and build systems by increasing access to domain knowledge and by providing automation support to software engineering (SE). As implementation becom...
