Uncorrelated Lithium-Ion Hopping in a Dynamic Solvent-Anion Network
(American Chemical Society, 2023-03)Lithium batteries rely crucially on fast charge and mass transport of Li+ in the electrolyte. For liquid and polymer electrolytes with added lithium salts, Li+ couples to the counter-anion to form ionic clusters that produce ... -
Prior behavior and wording of norm nudge requests shape compliance and reciprocity
(Wiley, 2023-03)We examined the effect of explicit norm nudge requests for compliance in a field study on workplace dishonesty and three controlled experiments on reciprocity. The requests were presented either with affirmation (e.g., ... -
SparseMaps-A systematic infrastructure for reduced-scaling electronic structure methods. VI. Linear-scaling explicitly correlated N-electron valence state perturbation theory with pair natural orbital
(AIP Publishing, 2023-03)In this work, a linear scaling explicitly correlated N-electron valence state perturbation theory (NEVPT2-F12) is presented. By using the idea of a domain-based local pair natural orbital (DLPNO), computational scaling of ... -
Pediatric diffuse hemispheric glioma H3 G34-mutant with gains of the BRAF locus: An illustrative case
(SAGE, 2023-03)Diffuse hemispheric glioma, H3 G34-mutant, is a recently recognized distinct high-grade glioma with a dismal prognosis. In addition to the H3 G34 missense mutation, numerous genetic events have been identified in these ... -
High-Frequency Dielectrophoresis Reveals That Distinct Bio-Electric Signatures of Colorectal Cancer Cells Depend on Ploidy and Nuclear Volume
(MDPI, 2023-09-01)Aneuploidy, or an incorrect chromosome number, is ubiquitous among cancers. Whole-genome duplication, resulting in tetraploidy, often occurs during the evolution of aneuploid tumors. Cancers that evolve through a tetraploid ... -
String Theory Bounds on the Cosmological Constant, the Higgs Mass, and the Quark and Lepton Masses
(MDPI, 2023-08-28)In this paper, we elaborate on the new understanding of the cosmological constant and the gauge hierarchy problems in the context of string theory in its metastring formulation, based on the concepts of modular spacetime ... -
Unsupervised Multitaper Spectral Method for Identifying REM Sleep in Intracranial EEG Recordings Lacking EOG/EMG Data
(MDPI, 2023-08-25)A large number of human intracranial EEG (iEEG) recordings have been collected for clinical purposes, in institutions all over the world, but the vast majority of these are unaccompanied by EOG and EMG recordings which are ... -
Differences in Sleep Quality and Sleepiness among Veterinary Medical Students at Multiple Institutions before and after the Pandemic Induced Transition to Online Learning
Poor sleep health has been previously documented in veterinary medical students. However, it is not known how universal or widespread this problem is. This study evaluated Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Epworth ... -
Sources of skill in lake temperature, discharge and ice-off seasonal forecasting tools
(Copernicus, 2023-03)Despite high potential benefits, the development of seasonal forecasting tools in the water sector has been slower than in other sectors. Here we assess the skill of seasonal forecasting tools for lakes and reservoirs set ... -
Drainage area estimates for synorogenic clastic wedges in the Central Appalachian Basin (sink) with implications for terrane accretion in the hinterland (source)
(Wiley, 2023-03)Source-to-sink studies typically utilize the sedimentary record preserved in basins to infer source area parameters such as estimates of drainage area and discharges of fluvial systems in the hinterland, the characterization ... -
Fruit secondary metabolites alter the quantity and quality of a seed dispersal mutualism
(Wiley, 2023-05)Plant secondary metabolites are key mechanistic drivers of species interactions. These metabolites have primarily been studied for their role in defense, but they can also have important consequences for mutualisms, including ... -
Probing new physics at DUNE operating in a beam-dump mode
(American Physical Society, 2023-03)In this work we demonstrate that a future accelerator-based neutrino experiment such as DUNE can greatly increase its sensitivity to a variety of new physics scenarios by operating in a mode where the proton beam impinges ... -
Gravity-improved metastability bounds for the Type-I seesaw mechanism
(2023-09-22)Right-handed neutrinos (RHN) destabilize the electroweak vacuum by increasing its decay rate. In the SM, the latter is dominated by physics at the RG scale at which λ reaches its minimum, 𝜇SM∗ ∼ 1017 GeV. For large neutrino ... -
The importance of time and space in biogeochemical heterogeneity and processing along the reservoir ecosystem continuum
(Springer, 2023-04)Globally significant quantities of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) enter freshwater reservoirs each year. These inputs can be buried in sediments, respired, taken up by organisms, emitted to the atmosphere, ... -
Region-specified inverse design of absorption and scattering in nanoparticles by using machine learning
(IOP Publishing, 2023-04)Machine learning provides a promising platform for both forward modeling and the inverse design of photonic structures. Relying on a data-driven approach, machine learning is especially appealing for situations when it is ... -
Biomolecules Triggering Altered Food Intake during Pathogenic Challenge in Chicks
(Japan Poultry Science Association, 2023-04)Food intake is regulated by several complicated synergistic mechanisms that are affected by a variety of internal and ex-ternal influences. Some of these factors include those that are released from pathogens such as ... -
BG2: Bayesian variable selection in generalized linear mixed models with nonlocal priors for non-Gaussian GWAS data
(2023-09-15)Background Genome-wide association studies (GWASes) aim to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with a given phenotype. A common approach for the analysis of GWAS is single marker ... -
Design of adaptive EWMA control charts using the conditional false alarm rate
(Wiley, 2023-04)Dynamic control limits can be useful in designing control charts, especially when sample sizes, risk scores, or other covariate values change over time. Computer simulation can be used to control the conditional false alarm ... -
Mid-latitudinal habitable environment for marine eukaryotes during the waning stage of the Marinoan snowball glaciation
(Nature Portfolio, 2023-04)Based on geochemical and paleontological data, this study shows that habitable open-oceans extended to mid-latitude coastal oceans during the waning stage of the Marinoan snowball Earth, offering refugia for benthic ... -
The orthographic/phonological neighbourhood size effect and set size
(Sage Publications, 2023-04)A growing number of studies have shown that on serial recall tests, words with more orthographic/phonological neighbours are better recalled than otherwise comparable words with fewer neighbours, the so-called neighbourhood ...
