Single-nucleus multi-omics reveals reversible molecular signatures in skeletal muscle of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a complex systemic syndrome characterized by severe exercise intolerance. In addition to cardiac dysfunction, abnormalities in peripheral skeletal muscle are key contributors to reduced exercise capacity in HFpEF. Multiple...

How Strategic Leaders Drive Firms in Ecosystems: Envisioning Value, Orchestrating Knowledge, and Shifting Roles

Abstract Research on business ecosystems has illuminated how ecosystems emerge, evolve, and transform, revealing ecosystem‐level dynamics and the central actors that orchestrate them. Yet, it is individual firms that continuously attempt to establish and shift the roles they play...

Cognitive load and prefrontal neuromodulation shape exploration, risk-taking, and information seeking in experience-based decision making

Experience-based decision making requires individuals to balance exploration and exploitation under uncertainty, a balance that may be influenced by cognitive demands and prefrontal neuromodulation. We examined the joint effects of trivia-based cognitive load and anodal transcran...

Ocularity modulates the dominance of spatial over temporal influences in binocular rivalry

The perception of a binocular rivalry (BR) stimulus can be influenced by other stimuli in temporal or spatial proximity. Here, we investigate how spatial (surround inhibition [SI]) and temporal context (flash suppression [FS]) interact. Previously, we modulated these influences b...

Mapping sleep is a journey in the train sleep stories of the Calm meditation app

Abstract Sleep problems, including difficulties falling and staying asleep, are pervasive and, increasingly, people are turning to mindfulness-based interventions to support sleep routines as well as overall mental wellbeing. A widely used meditation app, Calm, offers a genre of...

Buchdahl solution generator for Einstein-sigma gravity and multiscalar-tensor gravity

Buchdahl transformations provide a geometric route from vacuum spacetimes to scalar-field solutions. We formulate this mechanism as a target-covariant solution generator for Einstein gravity coupled to nonlinear sigma models in $D>3$ dimensions. On any connected region in which a...

Is the multilingual motivational self system a unified construct or an aggregation of language-specific selves?

With the acceleration of globalisation and the increasing prevalence of multilingual education, the traditional L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS) has shown limitations in explaining the complex motivational configurations of multilingual learners. This study aims to examine the...

In vivo DNA damage protection during cell migration across confining embryonic tissue environments

Abstract Cells migrating through confined spaces can experience nuclear deformation, nuclear envelope damage and DNA lesions, but the physiological consequences of confinement in vivo remain unclear. Using the zebrafish neural crest as a model of developmental migration, we show...

Assessing the Correct Electrochemical Surface Area of Gold Electrocatalysts by Copper Underpotential Deposition

Abstract Knowing the electrochemical surface area (ECSA) is crucial to fully understand an electrocatalytic system and correctly contextualize the behavior of a catalyst. We show that the surface oxidation method poses several problems for the ECSA determination, while the copper...

Light‐Weight Sustainable Composite From Virgin and Recycled Polypropylene Blends and Biocarbon for Automotive Part Application

ABSTRACT This work develops lightweight, sustainable PP/rPP/biocarbon composites targeting automotive applications. Virgin PP was blended with automotive recycled PP (rPP) at 70/30 and 50/50 ratios; the 50PP/50rPP blend exhibited the highest impact strength (31.54 J/m) with accep...

Investigating the role of pragmatic visual signals in language emergence using communication games and agent-based models

Abstract Studying the emergence of language has often relied on communication games and agent-based models, with a strong focus on referential linguistic signals, often overlooking pragmatic signals that are frequently expressed visually, such as facial signals. These signals are...

Spectroscopic follow-up of compact object binary candidates from Gaia DR3: White dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, and the parallax zeropoint

Astrometry and radial velocities (RVs) from Gaia DR3 yielded orbits for hundreds of thousands of binary systems, including several samples proposed to contain black holes (BHs), neutron stars (NSs), and white dwarfs (WDs). We present results of a systematic spectroscopic follow-u...

Molecular Insights into Water Solubility in Fluid Carbon Dioxide for CCS Applications

Abstract We estimate the solubility of water as an impurity in fluid CO2 by calculating the chemical potential from intermolecular interactions. The evaluation is conducted across a broad range of temperatures and pressures relevant to CO2 transport and storage. The formation of...

Method for modeling oviduct function and impact on embryonic development

Direct experimental analysis of the mammalian oviduct is constrained by limited tissue access and the short lifespan of ex vivo preparations. Extracellular matrix-embedded three-dimensional epithelial organoids provide longer-term in vitro models. However, their inward-facing api...

Column-Density Estimation from the Equivalent Widths of Absorption Doublets

Abstract $\mathrm{Na~\textsc {i}~D}\,$ absorption is widely used to estimate the dust extinction toward Galactic and extragalactic sources, but the inferred column densities are unreliable once the lines saturate. We present an analytical framework for estimating column densities...

Screening instruments for somatic symptom disorder: a scoping review of development, validation, and cross-cultural adaptation

Assessment of somatic symptom disorder (SSD) relies on instruments that vary substantially in their target constructs and coverage of DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. This review mapped the DSM-5 content coverage of available instruments and summarized evidence on their psychometric pr...

Vibe Coding: An experiment with test-driven development

Abstract Context Conversational Large Language Models (CLLMs) can automatically generate code by collaborating with users through natural language. However, poor collaboration can lead to poor quality output. Objective This exploratory study aims to investigate how humans and CLL...

Return to education following acquired brain injury: primary caregivers lived experiences

Return to education (RtE) following childhood acquired brain injury (ABI)is a complex, dynamic process that extends beyond medical recovery intoeducational, familial, and sociocultural domains. While primary caregivers playa central role in supporting this transition, their lived...

Arabic Multimodal Dataset for Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis

Multimodal sentiment analysis (MSA) has attracted growing interest among researchers in recent years, as multimodal user-generated content (e.g., text and images) has become increasingly common on the Internet. In Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA), multimodal data can provid...

Assessing Perceived Construction Risk Allocation and Agreement under Design–Bid–Build Contracts: Evidence from a Developing Country

Abstract This paper examines perceived construction risk allocation under design–bid–build contracts and evaluates the degree of agreement between clients and contractors regarding which party should bear specific risks in the Indonesian construction context. Data were collected...
