The origin of fluorescence from graphene oxide by Gurzadyan, Gagik G., Shang, Jingzhi, Ma, Lin, Li, Jiewei, Ai, Wei, Yu, Ting

“…By introducing the molecular orbital concept, the dominant fluorescence was found to originate from the electronic transitions among/between the non-oxidized carbon regions and the boundary of oxidized carbon atom regions, where all three kinds of functionalized groups C-O, C = O and O = C-OH were participating. …”

Staying connected: assessing the capacity of landscapes to retain biodiversity in a changing climate by Harwood, T, Love, J, Drielsma, M, Brandon, C, Ferrier, S

“…</p> <p><strong>Results:&nbsp;</strong>Mapping of the Spatial Resilience Index across New South Wales suggests that different regions, and locations within these regions, vary markedly in their expected capacity to retain biodiversity, depending on the direct rate of climate change, the degree of climatic buffering (or reduction of climate velocity) afforded by landscape heterogeneity, and the degree of anthropogenic impacts on the connectedness of habitat in the landscape. …”

Which context matters for capturing energy needs? A multi-level analysis by Puranasamriddhi, A, Trotter, PA, Parikh, P, Batidzirai, B, Brophy, A

“…By contrast, differences in productive energy aspirations appear to differ mostly at the national and regional level, with no significant variations associated with local district and village levels within each region. …”

Tree-ring δ 18 O and δ 2 H stable isotopes reflect the global meteoric water line by Arosio, T, Büntgen, U, Nicolussi, K, Moseley, GE, Saurer, M, Pichler, T, Smith, MP, Gutierrez, E, Andreu-Hayles, L, Hajdas, I, Bebchuk, T, Leuenberger, M

“…Methods: We analyze the tree rings δ 18O and δ 2H values from six regions along a latitudinal gradient from Spain to Greenland. …”

Understanding reservoirs of multi-host pathogens: A One Health approach to rabies in Tanzania by Hayes, S, Lushasi, K, Changalucha, J, Czupryna, A, Ferguson, E, Lankester, F, Sambo, M, Lugelo, A, Sikana, L, Donnelly, C, Hampson, K

“…For example, in the Lindi and Mtwara regions of southern Tanzania, jackals represent an unusually high proportion of animal rabies cases. …”

The role of ESG in enhancing firm resilience to geopolitical risks: an Eastern European perspective by Mohammad Reyad, Hossain, Ayesha, Momtaj, Iqbal, Mohammed Masum, Zariyawati, Mohd Ashhari

“…Geopolitical risk (GPR) presents a profound challenge to firms, particularly in regions with persistent political instability. In Eastern Europe, where conflicts like the Russia–Ukraine war heighten uncertainty, firms face immediate financial threats and long-term strategic vulnerabilities. …”

Hodge theory and its applications to molecular data analysis by Koh, Ronald Joon Wei

“…We then turn our attention back to Hi-C data, which encompasses TADs/TAD regions. We show that under a suitable metric, HodgeRank can be used to quantify the self-interactions within each TAD region of Chromosome 10, each of these regions generated by an existing TAD calling method. …”

Crystallographic Correlations with Anisotropic Oxide Ion Conduction in Aluminum-Doped Neodymium Silicate Apatite Electrolytes by An, Tao, Baikie, Tom, Wei, Fengxia, Pramana, Stevin S., Schreyer, Martin K., Piltz, Ross O., Shin, J. Felix, Wei, Jun, Slater, Peter R., White, Timothy John

“…From these observations, we propose that in the as-prepared single crystals there are regions of high and low interstitial content (e.g., Nd9.67Si6O26.5 and Nd9.33Si6O26), and the second semicircle relates to the interface between such regions. …”

Conformational changes involved in signal transduction in avian cryptochromes by Gehrckens, AS

“…Recently, it was possible to detect conformational changes in certain protein regions of cryptochrome 4a of several bird species using this method, with especially prominent changes found in the phosphate-binding loop, the protrusion motif, and the C-terminal tail. …”

Krylov complexity in quantum field theory, and beyond by Avdoshkin, Alexander, Dymarsky, Anatoly, Smolkin, Michael

“…We discuss the temperature dependence of Lanczos coefficients and note that the relationship between the growth of Lanczos coefficients and chaos may only hold for the sufficiently late, truly asymptotic regime, governed by physics at the UV cutoff. Contrary to previous suggestions, we demonstrate scenarios in which Krylov complexity in quantum field theory behaves qualitatively differently from holographic complexity.…”

Dynamics of a self-interacting sheet in shear flow by Funkenbusch, William T., Silmore, Kevin S., Doyle, Patrick S.

“…We use kinetic and energetic arguments to explain why sheets adopt certain conformations within the folded regime. Finally, we calculate the stresslet and find that, even in the absence of thermal fluctuations and multiple sheet interactions, shear-thinning followed by shear-thickening behavior can appear.…”

Learning from the Nordic Welfare Model : what and how? by Xiong, Jieru

“…Thus, the notion that there must be a trade-off between economic performance and a more aggressive welfare regime should be examined more thoroughly. The debate for policy makers should perhaps be framed with regard to where the balance should be between growth and equity rather than a trade-off. …”

FedCBO: reaching group consensus in clustered Federated learning through Consensus-Based Optimization by Carrillo, JA, Trillos, NG, Li, S, Zhu, Y

“…Our model is motivated by rigorous mathematical reasoning, including a mean field analysis describing the large number of particles limit of our particle system, as well as convergence guarantees for the simultaneous global optimization of general non-convex objective functions (corresponding to the loss functions of each cluster of users) in the mean-field regime. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of our FedCBO algorithm compared to other state-of-the-art methods and help validate our methodological and theoretical work.…”
