A scoping review of student peer evaluations in health professions education
Peer evaluation is widely used within collaborative learning environments in health professions education to develop teamwork, communication, and feedback skills. However, the terms peer evaluation, peer assessment, and peer feedback are often used interchangeably, and implementa...

Vertex Hashing Assignment‐Based Distributed Sampling Algorithm for Large‐Scale Dynamic Graph Stream
ABSTRACT In recent years, research on triangle counting in large graphs has primarily focused on estimating the number of triangles in static graphs. Most streaming graph sampling algorithms are only capable of estimating triangle counts in static graphs and cannot handle dynamic...

Predictive modeling and engineering validation of ladle draining in bottom pouring
In bottom pouring, ladle draining directly affects mold filling stability, solidification behavior, and ingot quality. To describe the draining process under the combined effects of a continuously decreasing liquid level and changes in slide-gate opening, a predictive mathematica...

Can Cybernetic Twins Function as Regulators for Sustainable (Sea)Food Systems?
Feeding the growing global population without permanently overshooting local-to-planetary boundaries demands a transition from conventional resource extraction to holistic models. Current digital twin applications in (sea)food systems primarily emphasize predictive monitoring and...

Thermal thresholds for styrene recovery: overcoming kinetic limits in polystyrene pyrolysis
Abstract The escalating accumulation of polystyrene (PS) waste has driven the development of chemical recycling technologies. However, optimizing the yield of valuable styrene monomers remains challenging due to complex and poorly understood product distributions. Therefore, this...

Temporal transcriptomics identifies transregulation by multiple lncRNAs in human iPSCs
Some long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are known to regulate gene expression. However, the underlying temporal dynamics of lncRNAs influencing gene and epigenetic regulation, and mechanisms of lncRNA regulation in trans , are less understood. To investigate this, we genetically engin...

Plasmidomics: studying plasmids as ecological entities beyond their hosts
Plasmids are mobile genetic elements with autonomous replication, whose ecology extends beyond individual bacterial hosts. As molecular symbionts, they have the potential to traverse bacterial taxa and environments, disseminating adaptive genes and shaping microbial community str...
