Early onset of the hot circumgalactic medium around Milky Way galaxies

Abstract Hot coronae are key regulators in Milky Way (MW)-type galaxy formation and are thought to emerge once a galaxy’s dark matter halo crosses a critical mass threshold, Mvir ~ 1012 M⊙, so that accretion shocks can heat infalling gas to virial temperatures, Tvir. Here we inve...

Impact of methylation and mutation modifications on melanoma progression through evaluation of paired primary and secondary lesions from same patients

Cutaneous melanoma is a complex disease whose progression is driven by alterations in both gene pathways and epigenetic mechanisms that may continue to evolve through the disease course. Among epigenetic alterations, gene methylation has been reported to play an important role in...

How does hard magnetic soft matter deform?

Abstract Hard Magnetic Soft Materials, i.e., elastomers seeded with hard magnetic particles, convert magnetic energy into complex motion and have become central to the design of untethered soft robots, biomedical devices, and, in general, for enabling fast, wireless actuation. Th...

THE ROLE AND SIGNIFICANCE OF LAWS ON RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE IN THE CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN

This thesis provides information about the laws and reforms related to religious tolerance in the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Obstacles to the Delegation of Powers and Transfer of Competences and the Role of the Judiciary in Addressing Them: A Comparative Study of Iraqi and Iranian Law

This study aims to identify the legal, regulatory, administrative, and financial obstacles that confront the delegation of powers and the transfer of competences in Iraqi and Iranian law, to analyze the effectiveness of the legal frameworks governing these processes, and to clari...

The Legal Foundations for the Evolving Role of Oversight Bodies in Combating Corruption in Iraq

This research aims to elucidate the legal foundations upon which the evolving role of oversight bodies in combating corruption in Iraq is based. This is achieved through an analysis of the constitutional and legislative framework governing their operations, and by examining the i...

Challenges and Solutions for the Iraqi and Egyptian Governments in Preventing Abuse of Government Power

This study examines the legal, constitutional, and institutional mechanisms designed to prevent abuse of governmental power in Iraq and Egypt from a comparative public law perspective. The analysis focuses on the relationship between formal legal safeguards and their practical ef...

Outcomes-Based Independent Learning Paradigm (OBILP): Effects on Students' Engagement and Performance in Chemistry

This study investigated the effects of the Outcomes-Based Independent Learning Paradigm (OBILP) on Grade 10 students’ engagement and performance in chemistry, focusing on the domains of gas laws, biomolecules, and chemical equations and reactions. An Explanatory Sequential Mixed-...

Human Rights Principles in Administrative Disputes

This study examines the principles of administrative litigation within the framework of human rights protection, given the importance of these principles in ensuring the legality of administrative action and safeguarding individuals' rights and freedoms. The study focuses on the...

Life cycle environmental and cost analysis of a building insulated with different insulation materials: a British case study

Purpose To evaluate the whole-life environmental and economic performance of four insulation materials used in the UK, hemp fibre, wood fibre, glass wool and extruded polystyrene (XPS), by comparing their embodied and operational impacts within a consistent regulatory and modelli...

Too little too late? Nationwide carbon trading in China

China launched a nationwide, rate-based carbon market in 2021. Covering the world’s top CO₂ emitter, compliance depends on the intensity of carbon emissions rather than an absolute cap. We draw on the theoretical literature of rate-based systems to provide the first empirical evi...

Towards a lightweight intrusion detection framework for resource-constrained home networks: design, implementation and experimental evaluation

The recent technological growth, affordable computing devices and a lack of user expertise have contributed to an increased level of cybersecurity attacks for home networks. Although Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) are very effective in detecting malicious activities,...

The miR-744-5p/connexin 43 axis modulates Salmonella-containing vacuole association with the Golgi network

Abstract MicroRNAs are increasingly recognised as important regulators of host–pathogen interactions. Using a large-scale functional screening approach, we identified miR-744-5p as a strong inhibitor of Salmonella infection. Time-course analyses in epithelial cells revealed that...

Metabolic engineering strategies for sustainable de novo isobutylamine production by Corynebacterium glutamicum

Abstract Background Short-chain primary amines are a versatile group of molecules in biological systems, derived from the decarboxylation of amino acids or the transamination of carbonyl-containing molecules. Isobutylamine, the decarboxylation product of l- valine, has applicatio...

The implementability of healthcare professional-led physical activity promotion interventions for people living with multiple sclerosis: A scoping review

Objective To identify healthcare professional-led physical activity promotion interventions for multiple sclerosis care and evaluate their implementability. Data Sources A systematic search was conducted across CINAHL, Scopus, MEDLINE, PEDro, SPORTDiscus, PsycINFO, CENTRAL, OpenG...

Fragile Transnationalism: Rethinking Migrant Transnationalism for a Post-Neoliberal World

In this article, we develop the concept of fragile transnationalism to conceptualize the re-infrastructuring of migrant transnationalism under conditions of post-neoliberal globalization. Since the 2008 Great Recession, the world has witnessed the demise of neoliberal globalizati...

Gendered Perceptions and the Use of Generative AI in Academia: An Experimental Vignette Study

ABSTRACT The adoption of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping the very nature of work, yet its social meaning and evaluative implications—particularly for women—remain underexplored. Although existing research has mainly examined GenAI adoption, use, and algori...

The First Multi-Messenger Nova: External Shocks, TeV Photons, and Neutrinos in the Next Eruption of T CrB

Abstract T Coronae Borealis is the most compelling anticipated Galactic recurrent nova and one of the best opportunities to test whether nova eruptions can become genuine multi-messenger transients. Recent observational work on classical novae has shown that the GeV γ-ray luminos...

Business Cycle Effects of Firms’ Uncertainty Under Low and High Uncertainty

Abstract Non-linearities in the uncertainty-output relationship may help to explain pronounced business cycle fluctuations. We suggest that the level of uncertainty itself influences the reaction of real activity to a surprise increase in uncertainty. We base our analysis on a me...

Interpenetrating Elastomers for High-Fidelity Shape Recovery and Broad Temperature Energy Dissipation

The design of elastomers integrating high-fidelity shape memory behavior with broad-temperature energy dissipation remains a fundamental challenge due to the intrinsic trade-off between network rigidity and segmental mobility. Here, an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) strat...
