Cannabinoids suppress chemotherapy- and ionizing radiation-induced apoptosis of glioblastoma cells

Abstract Cancer patients are increasingly exposed to cannabinoids, the bioactive molecules produced by the Cannabis sativa La. plant. This trend is being driven by several factors: expanding cannabis legalization, FDA approval of select cannabinoids for the treatment of seizures...

LaserFit: A Low-Cost Laser-Based Optical Power Meter for Cycling

Cycling is one of the most popular sports and recreational activities. Millions of new people start to integrate bicycling into their daily routines every year. Fitness and activity trackers are the most powerful motivation tools for cycling novices and serious cycling enthusiast...

Sexual Objectification in Family of Origin, Self-Objectification, Sexual Agency, and Young Adult College Women's Orgasm

In this cross-sectional study, we examined if and how experiences of sexual objectification in one's family of origin are associated with sex-related outcomes among 700 young adult college women who completed an online survey. We found that sexual objectification in one's family...

Psychosocial, relational and structural determinants of integrated pest management adoption in OECD countries: a scoping review

Abstract To reduce the use of synthetic pesticides, it is necessary to understand the factors underlying their use and the adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) among farmers. To achieve this, this study relied on a scoping review carried out following the PRISMA-ScR guide...

CRNN-V2: speech emotion recognition from audio signals using deep learning techniques

In human–human communication, emotions are naturally perceived through facial expressions, gestures, and speech patterns. However, enabling machines to accurately recognize human emotions during human–machine interaction remains a significant challenge. Speech Emotion Recognition...

Cobalt Carbonyl as a Solid CO(g) Source for the Synthesis of Novel Coumarin Derivatives and Biaryl Ketones by Palladium‐Catalyzed Carbonylative Suzuki–Miyaura Reaction

We herein report an atom‐economical, facile, and efficient approach developed for synthesizing a variety of C‐7 carbonylated coumarin derivatives and biaryl ketones in good‐to‐excellent yields. The use of aryl fluorosulfates as an atom‐economical electrophilic coupling partner an...

The Perceived Contribution of Online Learning Environments to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Higher Education: A Field Study Using PLS-SEM

Higher education institutions face a dual imperative: expanding access while reducing their environmental and operational footprint. Grounded in Triple Bottom Line theory and the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) interlinkages framework, this study examines faculty and postgradu...

Triangulated Dialogic Space in Arts and Design’s Studio Pedagogy

Despite decades of research demonstrating the learning benefits of dialogic pedagogy, its implementation in K-12 classrooms remains rare. Three structural challenges account for the difficulties of initiating and sustaining dialogic space in classrooms: managing face-threatening...

Modeling Investment Decisions in Renewable Energy and Cryptocurrency Mining Under Uncertainty

Operations research has long contributed to addressing energy and environmental challenges through mathematical modeling and decision-support methods. In particular, numerous studies have examined investment planning, capacity expansion, and policy design for renewable energy sys...

One (Noisy) Bit to Rule Them All: Key Recovery from Randomness Leakage in ML-DSA

Abstract The Fiat-Shamir transform is one of the most widely applied methods for secure signature construction. Fiat-Shamir starts with an interactive zero-knowledge identification protocol and transforms this via a hash function into a non-interactive signature. The protocol’s z...

Terpene-DerivedCarvyl Acetate Dicarbonate: A NovelMonomer for Biobased Nonisocyanate Poly(hydroxyurethane) Thermoplasticsand Thermosets

Abstract New thermoplastic nonisocyanate poly(hydroxyurethanes) (NIPUs) have been designed by polyaddition reactions of carvyl acetate dicarbonate (CADC) with a range of commercial diamines, yielding thermoplastic nonisocyanate poly(hydroxyurethanes) with moderate molecular weigh...

Optimizing diphenyl(2,4,6‐trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide concentration and post‐curing time to balance mechanical properties and color stability in a three‐dimensional‐printed restorative resin

Abstract Three‐dimensional (3D) printing is widely used in dental restorations; however, optimization of photoinitiator concentration and post‐curing protocols remains critical to achieve a balance between mechanical and esthetic performance. This study evaluated the combined eff...

Knowledge-Guided Graph iTransformer Enhanced by Reinforcement Learning for Industrial Fault Diagnosis

Complex industrial processes are characterized by strong coupling, nonlinear interactions, and dynamic causal dependencies between variables, posing significant challenges for accurate fault diagnosis. Conventional data-driven methods often fail to effectively exploit structural...

A Visual Detection and Multi-Zone Personnel Safety Control Method for Firework Manufacturing Workshops

Real-time visual detection is essential for personnel safety control in firework manufacturing workshops, where inadequate personnel-count control can increase safety risks in hazardous production zones. This study proposes a visual detection and multi-zone personnel safety contr...

An Agent-Based Model of the Stellar Mass Distribution

The Initial Mass Function (IMF) describes the distribution of stellar masses formed in a stellar cluster and constitutes a fundamental constraint for theories of star formation. In this work, we investigate the emergence of the IMF slope using a minimal agent-based model inspired...

Effects of Additive Incorporation on Fluoride Release of Orthodontic Glass Ionomer Cements and Adhesives: A Systematic Review

This systematic review evaluated the effects of functional additives on fluoride release, fluoride recharge/re-release, and selected mechanical, physical, and biological properties of orthodontic glass ionomer cements (GICs) and glass ionomer-based adhesives. The review followed...

Symbiotic visual creativity in higher education: Escape-room pedagogy across analogue, digital, and AI-mediated practice

Visual creativity is increasingly recognised as a foundational competency in higher education, particularly within disciplines grounded in digital interaction, interface design, and multimodal communication. Yet foundational perceptual frameworks such as Gestalt principles are fr...

Dietary Modulationof Osteoporosis via Probioticsand the Gut–Bone Axis: From Mechanisms to Food Applications

Abstract Osteoporosis, a metabolic bone disorder affecting nearly one-third of women and one-fifth of men globally, poses a major public health burden. Current pharmacological treatments face limitations, driving interest in safer nutritional interventions. The gut–bone axis, thr...

Activatingthe Gate-Opening Effect in Multivariate MOFs by Defect Engineeringfor Oxidative Desulfurization

Abstract Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown great potential in catalytic oxidative desulfurization (ODS), yet their efficiency is often hampered by intrinsically inaccessible pore networks that impede the contact between active sites and reactants. To unlock the potential...

Unlocking the Potential of Sparingly Soluble LiNO 3 in Carbonate Electrolytes With Pyridine as a Carrier Cosolvent for 450 Wh Kg −1 High‐Voltage Lithium Metal Batteries

ABSTRACT LiNO 3 is a highly effective electrolyte additive for ether‐based lithium metal batteries, but its extremely poor solubility in carbonate electrolytes has long restricted its application in high‐voltage high‐energy‐density systems. In this study, we develop a pyridine ca...
