The resilience and damage of concrete

The damage and resilience of concrete are characterized and discussed from the perspective of elastic strain energy. This study reveals an intrinsic connection between damage and resilience, thereby uncovering the physical underpinning of resilience and damage at the material lev...

Virome Diversity and Host-Associated Heterogeneity in Mosquitoes and Biting Midges Across Yunnan, China

Mosquitoes and biting midges harbor diverse viruses, but the factors shaping their viromes remain incompletely understood. We analyzed 35 pooled libraries from seven host groups across 15 locations in Yunnan, China, sampled in June 2025, using total-RNA sequencing, viral annotati...

What Users Say About Reimbursable Digital Therapeutics in Germany: Large-Scale App Store Review Analysis Using a Large Language Model

Abstract Background In 2019, Germany introduced a unique regulatory framework for digital therapeutics (DTx), termed digital health applications (DiGAs) in Germany, with the goal of integrating evidence-based DTx into statutory health care. DTx are eligible for reimbursement by s...

Assessing the translational value of animal models in developing pain-targeting therapies for clinical osteoarthritis

Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent and disabling disease, with pain as its most debilitating symptom. Despite extensive preclinical research, no therapy has successfully translated from animal models into routine clinical use. Commonly used animal models (e.g., ac...

Swahast Protocol v0.3 (formerly Networked Firm Protocol)

Swahast (स्वहस्त, "one's own hand") is an open protocol for how independent people form, run and close a temporary collaboration in which AI agents draft agreements and only people can commit. Version 0.3 renames the Networked Firm Protocol (NFP) v0.2. It adds a contribution stat...

Identifying Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease in Emergent Large Vessel Occlusion

Abstract Background Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) represents a substantial proportion of large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes refractory to mechanical thrombectomy, yet its diagnosis in the hyperacute setting remains challenging without direct vessel-wall imaging. M...

Noncentrosymmetric Manganese Bismuth Thiocyanate Perovskites

Abstract Symmetry-lowering orderings in perovskites can produce a wide range of functions. Thiocyanate based perovskites, AM(SCN)3, have orderings distinct from those of the atomic oxides, enabling new functional behavior. We report four new defect-ordered manganese thiocyanate p...

Feeding Larval Zebrafish: Small Predators, Big Choices

Zebrafish husbandry regimens often use live rotifers or paramecia during the first 2 weeks of larval feeding. The rationale is that the small larval gape requires suitably small prey. As larvae grow, they are transitioned to feeding on larger prey in the form of brine shrimp ( Ar...

"Smarter but Not Wiser": A Transdisciplinary CFA-GRM Simulation Pipeline for Mapping Human–GenAI Interaction

Background The integration of Generative AI (GenAI) in higher education creates a paradox between technical efficiency and cognitive depth. Current institutional responses rely more on fragmented oversight than on ecology- and process-oriented assessment. There is a lack of diagn...

The Scale Axis as a Spatial Dimension: A uniqueness theorem and an exact heat kernel for spectral dimension three

An algebraic label is not a dimension. A field with two base directions and any number of labels that enter only algebraically has spectral dimension two. The diffusing scale axis is unique. A label becomes a direction exactly when it carries a kinetic term. Locality, a positivit...

The Space Between Action and Reflection

Introduction: Debriefing is widely regarded as a central component of simulation-based learning, yet limited attention has been given to how the timing of debriefing is experienced by learners in undergraduate courses that include graded simulation. Methods: An interpretive quali...

Accommodated Human-AI Fit: What a Language Model Changes When a Person Says What They Need

People who use language models often tell them what they need: that they cannot hear, cannot walk, or find reading hard. Disabled users report doing this because they expect better answers. Published work shows that models adapt to what users tell them, but measures the adaptatio...

Frequency Decoupling and Recalibration for Small Object Detection in Remote Sensing Images via Discrete Wavelet Transform

The rapid advancement of deep learning has significantly improved the performance of remote sensing object detection. However, detection performance for small objects remains unsatisfactory. In this paper, we identify frequency aliasing as a key challenge underlying small object...

Analysis of Tap Water Quality in Victoria City, Tamaulipas, México, Using Traditional and Molecular Approaches to Identify Microorganisms

Tap water quality is a critical public health concern because microbiological contamination in water distribution systems may pose risks to consumers. Therefore, this study seeks to integrate conventional and molecular approaches. Traditional methods, including the Most Probable...

Beyond radiotheranostics: how imaging modality defines theranostics

Abstract Theranostics integrates diagnostic imaging and therapy within a single platform, enabling image-guided treatment delivery, real-time monitoring, and therapeutic optimization. The choice of imaging modality fundamentally shapes the design, functionality, and clinical matu...

From cultural assets to recorded knowledge: Rethinking digital heritage platforms as documentary infrastructures

National digital heritage platforms are often treated as access portals that disseminate digitized cultural materials. This article argues that they can also operate as documentary infrastructures through which cultural assets are transformed into recorded, searchable and publicl...

Rethinking glyme electrolytes in sodium batteries: from passive solvents to active reaction media

Sodium-based batteries are emerging as promising alternatives to lithium technologies owing to the abundance and low cost of sodium. However, their performance is strongly governed by electrolyte chemistry. This perspective examines the role of glyme-based electrolytes in sodium...

MANBO: Mamba-Based Lightweight Attention Network with Priority-Bridged Ordering for Point Cloud Processing

Selective state space models (SSMs) enable efficient long-range dependency modeling across language, vision, and 3D domains. However, because SSMs are optimized for sequential processing, they handle spatially irregular inputs such as point clouds poorly. We propose MANBO, which...

Investigation of Steel Slag Specific Gravity and Its Suitability for Engineering Applications

Steel slag is a by-product of steel manufacturing that is increasingly being considered for reuse in civil engineering because of its dense and durable nature. However, before it can be incorporated into engineering works, its basic physical properties need to be established. The...

Relaxation Dynamics of Large and Anisotropic Molecules in a Weakly Polar Matrix

Abstract The dynamics of large and anisotropic molecules embedded in glass-forming liquids present complex challenges due to the interplay between molecular shape, host–guest interactions, and macroscopic viscosity. In this work, we investigate fluorophenylene isomers (ortho-F an...
