We investigated the element-specific electronic structure and charge-carrier dynamics of a single-crystal ferromagnet CoS2 with complementary x-ray spectroscopy techniques. Hard x-ray photoemission (HAXPES) is used to provide crucial information on the bulk electronic structure and chemical bonding in CoS2 that is compared against the isoelectronic paramagnet CoSe2. The Co 1s core-level line shows
Purpose: This systematic literature review aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of effort as a multidimensional construct in individuals with impaired swallowing and/or spoken communication. Method: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across three data-bases: PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL, covering publications from 1966 to 2024. The search included terms related to commu
Importance: Developing disease-modifying treatments is a priority for Alzheimer disease research. Objective: To determine the potential of plasma phosphorylated tau 217 (p-tau217) and tau positron emission tomography (PET) to assess disease modification in treatment trials. Design, Setting, and Participants: This diagnostic/prognostic study used longitudinal data from the Anti-Amyloid Treatment in
This Letter presents the first measurement of event-by-event fluctuations of the net number (difference between the particle and antiparticle multiplicities) of multistrange hadrons Ξ- and Ξ¯+ and its correlation with the net-kaon number using the data collected by the ALICE Collaboration in pp, p-Pb, and Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sNN=5.02 TeV. The statistical ha
First measurements of hadron-Λ (h-Λ) azimuthal angular correlations in p-Pb collisions at sNN =5.02 TeV using the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider are presented. These correlations are used to separate the production of associated Λ baryons into three different kinematic regions, namely those produced in the direction of the trigger particle (near side), those produced in the opposite d
We show that culturally transmitted individualism is an important determinant of working from home (WFH). Using individual-level data from the U.S. Current Population Survey (CPS) and the European Social Survey (ESS), we compare immigrants and their descendants from different cultural backgrounds residing in the same location. A 10-point increase in country-of-origin individualism (0–100 scale) in
Low birth weight (LBW) is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes (T2D). We hypothesized that 4 weeks of carbohydrate overfeeding (COF) with +25% energy would unmask key T2D perturbations among 22 nonobese LBW men, including five with screen-detected metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), compared with 21 healthy control participants with normal birth weight (NBW). Body weight
Introduction Breast cancer-related lymphoedema (BCRL) at the arm and/or trunk/breast is a highly feared complication following breast cancer treatment and can be objectified using the state-of-The-Art criteria based on volume, extracellular water ratio or skin thickness measurements. Although the incidence of objective BCRL is decreasing due to advances in breast cancer treatment, many patients re
Stem cell sources capable of producing appropriate cells for replacement will be necessary for functional repair of the injured brain. Here, we have determined whether transcription factor programming of human embryonic stem (hES) cells can be used to generate layer-specific cortical neurons capable of integrating into the stroke-injured rat cortex. Human embryonic stem cells were programmed via o
Background: Gaming disorder is a recently recognized psychiatric condition and a growing public health concern, particularly among adolescents. Despite this, there is limited research on what kind of treatment they need. Existing studies are mostly quantitative and offer limited insight into adolescents' lived experiences.Aim: The aim of this qualitative study is to explore how adolescent patientsBackground: Gaming disorder is a recently recognized psychiatric condition and a growing public health concern, particularly among adolescents.

Background: Prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PSMA-PET/CT) is affecting the management of patients with prostate cancer with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy. The long-term outcomes of tailoring salvage treatment on the basis of PSMA-PET/CT status remain to be determined. Methods: A decision-analytic model was developed to projec
The compatibility and safety of contrast media injectors (CMIs) at ultra-high magnetic field strengths remains a critical challenge. This study aimed to investigate a custom-designed CMI powered by a ceramic motor in a newly developed 5T MRI environment, comparing it with a commercial CMI commonly used in a clinic. Three key performance aspects of the CMI were assessed in the 5T environment: trans
The unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity has long been elusive. Only recently have empirical predictions of various possible theories of quantum gravity been put to test, where a clear signal of quantum properties of gravity is still missing. The dawn of multi-messenger high-energy astrophysics has been tremendously beneficial, as it allows us to study particles with much higher
Lineage plasticity is recognized as a critical determinant of lethality and resistance to AR pathway inhibitors in prostate cancer. Lineage plasticity is a continuum, ranging from AR activity-low tumors, AR-null tumors that do not express a neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) program (i.e., double-negative prostate cancer [DNPC]), and AR-null NEPC tumors. Factors upregulated early in lineage pla
PHENIX presents a simultaneous measurement of the production of direct γ and π0 in d+Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV over a pT range of 7.5 to 18 GeV/c for different event samples selected by event activity, i.e., charged-particle multiplicity detected at forward rapidity. Direct-photon yields are used to empirically estimate the contribution of hard-scattering processes in the different event sample
