Wearable activity trackers for promoting physical activity : a systematic meta-analytic review by Li, Caining, Chen, Xiaoyu, Bi, Xinhua

“…We also explicitly show that the extent to which the interventions with wearable activity trackers help users is contingent on the type of users and the design and delivery of interventions. Future studies are called to validate the findings and to offer theoretical explanations.…”

Analysis of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) degradation kinetics of evolved IsPETase variants using a surface crowding model by Zhong-Johnson, En Ze Linda, Dong, Ziyue, Canova, Christopher T, Destro, Francesco, Cañellas, Marina, Hoffman, Mikaila C, Maréchal, Jeanne, Johnson, Timothy M, Zheng, Maya, Schlau-Cohen, Gabriela S, Lucas, Maria Fátima, Braatz, Richard D, Sprenger, Kayla G, Voigt, Christopher A, Sinskey, Anthony J

“…Hence, we develop a surface crowding model to analyze the biochemical effects of three hit mutations (T116P, S238N, S290P) that enhanced ambient temperature activity and/or thermostability. We find that T116P decreases susceptibility to crowding, resulting in higher PET degradation product accumulation despite no change in intrinsic catalytic rate. …”

“…Our ARPES studies of those films reveal the existence of multiple Dirac-like bands that can be tuned by changing the film thickness.…”

Adverse events of common psychiatric medications: an umbrella review by Bartellas, K

“…Antipsychotic medications (60%) accounted for the majority of the findings, followed by antidepressants (16%), stimulants (13%), mood stabilisers (8%) and anxiolytics (3%). …”

Private, non-profit, and plantation: Oil palm smallholders in management-assistance programs vary in socio-demographics, attitudes, and management practices by Reiss-Woolever, VJ, Wakhid, W, Ikhsan, M, Caliman, J, Naim, M, Azmi, EN, Shufiyan, S, Howes, J, Azmi, R, Ying Lim, Y, Abdul Jan, SZ, Barrock, I, Azhar, B, Drewer, J, Ward, C, Jones, JA, Luke, SH, Turner, EC, Hidayat, P, Buchori, D

“…When taken in context, our findings may inform the interventions of management-assistance programs, ensuring they are approaching the most relevant farmer groups in the most effective way.…”

A manifesto for a globally diverse, equitable, and inclusive open science by Ghai, S, Thériault, R, Forscher, P, Shoda, Y, Syed, M, Puthillam, A, Peng, HC, Basnight-Brown, D, Majid, A, Azevedo, F, Singh, L

“…In this Perspective, we raise the spectre of Questionable Generalisability Practices and the issue of MASKing (Making Assumptions based on Skewed Knowledge), calling for more responsible practices in generalising study findings and co-authorship to promote global equity in knowledge production. …”

Essays on blood supply management by Senga, Juan Ramon Liboro

“…We then provide a numerical study that looks at the effect of reducing regeneration on the cost incurred. We find that because blood is considered a valuable resource, reducing regeneration can significantly reduce cost. …”

Ultrafast exciton-phonon coupling and energy transfer dynamics in quasi-2D layered Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites by Zhang, X, Zhou, J, Zheng, F, Yang, B, Jha, A, Duan, H

“…Coherent vibrational signals identify key lattice and organic cation modes, providing insights into their role in energy dissipation. These findings deepen our understanding of how 2D perovskites work and pave the way for improving the efficiency and stability of next-generation optoelectronic devices.…”

Exciton Dynamics and Anisotropy in 2D Metal Organochalcogenolate Semiconductors by Lee, Woo Seok

“…This divergence in excitonic properties is attributed to the semi 1D Ag chains in AgSePh-F₂(2,3), in contrast to hexagonal 2D Ag network in AgSePh. This finding can be generalized to other blue-emitting 2D AgSePh-R compounds which exhibit either AgSePh-like or AgSePh-F₂(2,3)-like absorption spectra. …”

As firm as their foundations: creating transferable adversarial examples across downstream tasks with CLIP by Hu, A, Gu, J, Pinto, F, Kamnitsas, K, Torr, PHS

“…Solely based on open-sourced CLIP vision encoders, this method can produce highly effective adversaries that simultaneously fool more than 20 downstream models spanning 4 common vision-language tasks (semantic segmentation, object detection, image captioning and visual question-answering). Our findings highlight the concerning safety risks introduced by the extensive usage of publicly available foundational models in the development of downstream systems, calling for extra caution in these scenarios.…”

Universal in-context approximation by prompting fully recurrent models by Petrov, A, Lamb, TA, Paren, A, Torr, PHS, Bibi, A

“…While it was recently shown that transformer models do possess this property, these results rely on their attention mechanism. Hence, these findings do not apply to fully recurrent architectures like RNNs, LSTMs, and the increasingly popular SSMs. …”

‘Swirling' around translanguaging spaces of nature of science in multilingual classrooms by Cheung, KKC, Erduran, S, Oancea, A

“…Furthermore, we articulate how linguistically diverse learners navigate within and across these two translanguaging spaces. Our findings indicate that the teacher and students discussed a network of NOS ideas using gestures, different named languages as well as visual resources within the NOS-negotiation space. …”

Modeling information equality : social and media latency effects on information diffusion by Chib, Arul, Sinnreich, Aram, Gilbert, Jesse

“…In this study, we build and test a stochastic, agent-based model of information diffusion, called dFusion. The model incorporates diffusion research and social network analysis into a framework that is consistent with the findings of digital divide and knowledge gap research. …”
