Frataxin deficiency promotes endothelial senescence in pulmonary hypertension

“…These data offer a model of endothelial biology in PH, where FXN deficiency generates a senescent endothelial subpopulation, promoting vascular inflammatory and proliferative signals in other cells to drive disease. These findings also establish an endothelial etiology for PH in FRDA and left heart disease and support therapeutic development of senolytic drugs, reversing effects of Fe-S deficiency across PH subtypes.…”

Characterizing Speech Motor Pattern in Minimally Verbal Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder via Surface Electromyography by Protyasha, Nishat Fahmida

“…Furthermore, the analysis of eigenvalues suggests lower complexity in motor coordination among mvASD participants, reflecting fewer degrees of freedom in muscle control. These findings were supported by classification models, which demonstrated that features from diadochokinetic tasks were more effective in distinguishing mvASD from neurotypical individuals.…”

The Power of Perception in Human-AI Interaction: Investigating Psychological Factors and Cognitive Biases that Shape User Belief and Behavior by Lee, Eunhae

“…Through two interconnected studies involving 238 participants, the first study explores how cognitive style, paranormal beliefs, AI attitudes, and personality traits impact perceptions of the validity, reliability, usefulness, and personalization of predictions from different sources. The study finds a positive correlation between belief in AI predictions and belief in astrology- and personality-based predictions, highlighting a "rational superstition" phenomenon where belief is more influenced by mental heuristics and intuition than by critical evaluation. …”

Hofstadter Physics and Composite Fermionic Phase in Moiré Systems by Ding, Shuhan

“…Through a detailed mean-field analysis, we demonstrate that this state, characterized by a strong valley polarization and an effective magnetic field arising from Berry curvature, could be energetically favored under certain conditions. Our findings suggest that Moiré TMDs are promising candidates for realizing fractional Chern insulators and other exotic quantum phases, opening up new avenues for experimental exploration and potential applications in quantum technology.…”

Modeling the Impact of Electrolyte Flow on Heat Management in a Li-Ion Convection Cell by Gao, Weiran, Drake, Javit, Brushett, Fikile R

“…We show, through physics-based electrothermal modeling and dimensional analysis of a single, planar LIB cell, that electrolyte convection can simultaneously draw heat from the cell and suppress heat generation from entropy change, charge-transfer, and ohmic losses, and that the cell temperature rise can be effectively mitigated when heat removal matches or exceeds heat generation. These findings distinguish internal convection from external surface cooling approaches used in conventional thermal management that often lead to a tradeoff between heat and mass transport. …”

Effect of Madden Julian oscillation on convectively coupled equatorial waves by Dobriyal, Ritvik

“…The investigation is carried out for the two seasons of DJFM (December January February March) and JJAS (June July August September). Key finding for both seasons is that when MJO enhances precipitation, wave activity becomes stronger, while when MJO suppresses convection wave activity is weakened. …”
