An environmental-based perspective framework: integrating IoT technology into a sustainable automotive supply chain by El Jaouhari, Asmae, Arif, Jabir, Samadhiya, Ashutosh, Kumar, Anil, Garza-Reyes, Jose Arturo

“…Then, experts from the SASC, IoT, and sustainability areas participated in two rigorous rounds of a Delphi study to validate the framework. Findings – The results indicate that the conceptual environmental framework proposed would help companies enhance the connectivity between major IoT tools in SASC, which would help develop congruent strategies for inducing sustainable growth. …”

Experimental investigation of nonlinear forces on a monopile offshore wind turbine foundation under directionally spread waves by Ding, H, Zhao, G, Tang, T, Taylor, PH, Adcock, TAA, Dai, S, Ning, D, Chen, L, Li, J, Wang, R, Zang, J

“…The clean separation of individual harmonics enables the estimation of contributions from each harmonic. Our findings are in line with previous research, showing that nonlinear loading can constitute up to 40% of the total under certain wave conditions. …”

Revealing the role of fluoride-rich battery electrode interphases by operando transmission electron microscopy by Gong, C, Pu, S, Gao, X, Yang, S, Liu, J, Ning, Z, Rees, G, Capone, I, Pi, L, Liu, B, Hartley, G, Fawdon, J, Pasta, M, Grovenor, C, Bruce, P, Robertson, A

“…By combination with quantitative composition analysis via mass spectrometry, we identify that the fluoride-rich SEI suppresses overall lithium loss through drastically reducing the quantity of dead Li formation and preventing electrolyte decomposition. These findings highlight the importance of appropriately tailoring the SEI for facilitating consistent and uniform lithium dissolution, and its potent role in governing the plated lithium’s structure.…”

From relaxed beliefs under psychedelics (REBUS) to revised beliefs after psychedelics (REBAS) by Zeifman, RJ, Spriggs, MJ, Kettner, H, Lyons, T, Rosas, FE, Mediano, PAM, Erritzoe, D, Carhart-Harris, RL

“…We also introduce a new measure for examining the robustness of these preliminary findings and the utility of the REBUS model.…”

Reconciling founder variant multiplicity of HIV-1 infection with the rate of CD4+ decline by Baxter, J, Villabona-Arenas, J, Thompson, RN, Hue, S, Regoes, R, Kouyos, R, Gunthard, H, Albert, J, Brown, AL, Atkins, K

“…Where multiple variants initiate infection, recipient set point viral load (SpVL) and the rate of CD4+ 4 T cell decline may be elevated, but these findings remain inconsistent. Here, we summarised the evidence for this phenomenon, then tested whether previous studies possessed sufficient statistical power to reliably identify a true effect of multiple variant infection associating with higher SpVL. …”

Advancements in glioma segmentation: comparing the U-Net and DeconvNet models by Mohammed, AA, Gonzales, RA

“…We concluded that the U-Net model's advanced capabilities enhanced glioma segmentation in MRI scans, surpassing the baseline DeconvNet method. Our findings may help improve non-invasive diagnostic procedures and treatment planning in glioma patients, reinforcing the value of integrating advanced neural network architectures into medical imaging.…”

Turing pattern formation in reaction-cross-diffusion systems with a bilayer geometry by Diaz, A, Krause, A, Maini, PK, Gaffney, E, Seirin-Lee, S

“…A linear stability analysis is carried out around a spatially homogeneous equilibrium state in the asymptotic limit of weak and strong coupling strengths, where quantitative approximations of the bifurcation curve can be computed. Our theoretical findings, for an arbitrary number of reacting species, reveal quantitative Turing conditions, highlighting when the coupling mechanism between the layered regions can either trigger patterning or stabilize a spatially homogeneous equilibrium regardless of the independent patterning state of each layer. …”

Hot and round: How temperature and shape impact the multisensory appreciation of cornmeal by Juravle, G, Duca, R, Feghiuș, C, Spence, C

“…These results highlight the importance of serving temperature and how temperature interacts with food shape. The findings are discussed in the context of current theories of crossmodal correspondences, with consideration of the importance of temperature perception in gastronomic settings.…”

Soil microbiomes show consistent and predictable responses to extreme events by Knight, CG, Nicolitch, O, Griffiths, RI, Goodall, T, Jones, B, Weser, C, Langridge, H, Davison, J, Dellavalle, A, Eisenhauer, N, Gongalsky, KB, Hector, A, Jardine, E, Kardol, P, Maestre, FT, Schädler, M, Semchenko, M, Stevens, C, Tsiafouli, MΑ, Vilhelmsson, O, Wanek, W, de Vries, FT

“…Our results suggest that soil microbiomes from different climates share unified responses to extreme climatic events, but that predicting the extent of community change may require knowledge of the local microbiome. These findings advance our understanding of soil microbial responses to extreme events, and provide a first step for making general predictions about the impact of extreme climatic events on soil functioning.…”

Oscillations support short latency co-firing of neurons during human episodic memory formation by Roux, F, Parish, G, Chelvarajah, R, Rollings, DT, Sawlani, V, Hamer, H, Gollwitzer, S, Kreiselmeyer, G, Ter Wal, MJ, Kolibius, L, Staresina, BP, Wimber, M, Self, MW, Hanslmayr, S

“…Phase-coupling at slower oscillations in these same frequency bands, in contrast, correlates with longer co-firing latencies and occurs during memory failure. Thus, our findings suggest that neural oscillations play a role for the synchronization of neural firing in the medial temporal lobe during the encoding of episodic memories.…”

Back to basics with teacher recruitment: what do STEM undergraduates want? by Snell, RJS, Klassen, RM, Thompson-Lee, S, Wang, H

“…Data were coded using reflexive thematic analysis and multiple indexing. Findings from this study suggested that participants were primarily attracted to teaching by the perceived emotional rewards of supporting young people, and the tangible benefits (e.g., holidays) made the career desirable. …”

Lung cancer AI-based diagnosis through multi-modal integration of clinical and imaging data by Ulag, AS, Gonzales, RA

“…Future research should consider adding other data sources like genetic and environmental factors to enhance the model's performance further. These findings underscore the promise of multi-modality approaches in transforming lung cancer diagnostics, potentially leading to earlier detection and improved patient outcomes.…”

Immunity debt for seasonal influenza after the COVID-19 pandemic and as a result of non-pharmaceutical interventions: an ecological analysis and cohort study by Chen, L, Guo, Y, López-Güell, K, Ma, J, Dong, Y, Xie, J, Prieto Alhambra, D

“…In addition, a positive association between the Stringency Index and post-relaxation influenza surge was observed globally (R² = 0.14-0.17) and replicated regionally. Our findings support the population immunity debt hypothesis for influenza and call for proactive preparations against its consequences in future pandemics.…”

The role of Wee1 in the hypoxia-induced DNA damage response and its potential as a therapeutic target by O'Brien, EM

“…Previous reports suggest damage induced by Wee1 inhibition is Mus81 dependent however no evidence for this was seen in this study in normoxia or hypoxia. However, a novel finding was the involvement of Mus81 in reoxygenation-induced restart suggesting this nuclease does play a significant role in cellular adaptation to hypoxia.…”
