Subglacial landforms as proxy for offshore freshened groundwater in formerly glaciated margins

Abstract Offshore freshened groundwater (OFG) is a significant yet underexplored component of the global water cycle, and its spatial distribution, particularly its links to past glacial processes, remains poorly constrained. The southeastern North Sea, characterized by extensive...

Communication-efficient collaborative 4D mapping via federated temporal Gaussian pruning and knowledge-distilled neural radiance fields for post-disaster rescue robotics

Post-disaster rescue operations demand real-time, collaborative 4D mapping of dynamic ruins, yet severely damaged communication infrastructure and limited edge computing resources make conventional neural radiance fields and 3D Gaussian splatting impractical: they lack temporal r...

Optogenetic modeling of wake-like transcriptional progression in human SH-SY5Y neuronal cells

Sleep deprivation induces widespread transcriptional remodeling in the brain, but the extent to which this response arises from sustained neuronal excitation rather than systemic confounders remains unclear. Here we establish a reductionist human neuronal model to isolate the cel...

Nature based strategies for heat and drought resilience in fruit crops through genotype environment and management interactions

Abstract Climate change increasingly threatens fruit crop productivity by disrupting physiological, biochemical, and cellular processes that govern heat and drought tolerance. Yet efficacy of proposed interventions varies widely and is rarely explained by a unifying conceptual fr...

Layout, Geometry or Generator? Dissecting Two-Stage Satellite-to-Street View Synthesis with Frozen Foundation Features

Satellite-to-street view synthesis asks a model to imagine a ground-level panorama from a single overhead tile. We dissect a two-stage pipeline on CVUSA, in which a semantic layout predicted from the tile guides a conditional generator, and measure which design choices actually m...

Long‐term survivorship of medial meniscus posterior horn repair during revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: 10‐year results from the SANTI Group

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the long‐term rate of secondary medial meniscectomy following medial meniscus posterior horn repair performed during revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and to compare contemporary posteromedial suture‐hook repair with other repa...

School-Based Health Centers and School Nurses: Co-Location and Collaboration

School-based health centers (SBHCs) and school nurses are often the only healthcare providers available to youth; however, they typically operate within parallel, yet distinct, systems. This study examined how many SBHCs serve schools with school nurses and the association betwee...

Carbon-Negative Dual-Source polygeneration integrating biogas combustion and geothermal energy for Water–Energy–Carbon Nexus; 5E + LCA assessment and Ridge Regression–ALA optimization

The pressing necessity to reduce carbon emissions and shift to sustainable energy systems stimulates the creation of innovative polygeneration technologies, maximizing resource productivity and reducing environmental impact. This paper suggests and critically analyzes an innovati...

Theory of the TDH — Perpetually Creation and Evolution of the Universe: The Universal Hybrid Regime Framework - Volume III: Spacetime Kinetic Singularities and Autonomous Localized Cosmic Loops (Version 3.0)

Disturbance estimator-based robust tracking control of an unmanned surface vessel with transient norm bound

This paper investigates the control problem of an unmanned surface vessel system in the presence of external disturbance. The dynamic model of an unmanned surface vessel is first introduced. Then, a nonlinear disturbance estimator is designed to estimate the external disturbance....

An Analytical Solution to the Collatz Conjecture via Non-Divisive Linear Dynamics and Bit-Boundary Invariance

This paper introduces a novel, purely algebraic formulation of the Collatz Conjecture (3n + 1 problem) that completely bypasses traditional division-by-two operations. By applying the principle of deferred division, the chaotic Collatz mapping is transformed into a monotonically...

Oxidative stress-related signature predicts biochemical recurrence and identifies LAMP5 as a candidate prognostic biomarker in prostate cancer

Oxidative stress (OS) has been implicated in the malignant progression of prostate cancer (PCa). Biochemical recurrence (BCR) in PCa patients is closely associated with OS. This study aimed to develop a BCR risk predictive model for PCa by screening OS-related biomarkers and prel...

Enhancing ADAS Training: Examining the Effects of Training Modes and Styles on Driver Knowledge and Decision-Making

As Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) become increasingly common in modern vehicles, drivers often misunderstand how these systems work and when they reach their limits, which can lead to unsafe driving behaviors. This study examined how training modes (video vs. in-vehicl...

Acculturation and self-esteem among Black African immigrants in the United States

This cross-sectional study explores the relationship between bi-dimensional acculturation strategies and self-esteem among first- and second-generation Black African immigrants in the United States ( N = 494). Heritage culture identification predicted higher self-esteem, while di...

Constant-Copy Verification of W States with Local Measurements

We prove that n-qubit W states can be efficiently verified using local measurements with a constant spectral gap.

Developing Psychotherapy Competency in PMHNP Students Through the Curricular Integration of Simulation, Experiential Learning, and Self-Reflective Practice

Background: Developing competent psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) psychotherapists requires supporting students’ movement from a biomedical outcome-orientated toward a dynamic, process-oriented paradigm. Experiential learning methods provide a robust framework...

Geographies of simulation: Representational asymmetries in planetary computing. The case of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

The ambition to model the Earth at a 1:1 scale through planetary computing presents a challenge that transcends technical constraints. At planetary scale, this challenge becomes an epistemological dilemma: the tension between metric fidelity and morphological coherence. This arti...

Persistence of Antibiotic Resistance and Capsule in E. coli B23 after Removal from Sublethal Kanamycin Treatment

Kanamycin belongs to the aminoglycoside class of bacteriostatic antibiotics that inhibits protein synthesis. Previous studies have shown that treatment with sublethal levels of kanamycin causes the extracellular polysaccharide capsule in E. coli B23 to increase in size, and poten...

From fear to coexistence: citizen science and environmental education to increase urban snake awareness and appreciation

Abstract As urbanization intensifies, encounters between people and wildlife are increasing, often generating fear and conflict. A key example is interactions with snakes, which face strong cultural stigmas that hinder their conservation despite their fundamental ecological role...

Early Stability Dynamics of UV-Functionalized Dental Implants Under Early Loading: Evaluating ISQ Changes in the Posterior Mandible

Background UV photofunctionalization has been proposed as a method to enhance implant surface bioactivity and potentially improve early osseointegration. Objective This study aimed to evaluate early implant stability under early loading conditions by analyzing changes in Implant...
