Caring for the institution: An ethnography of quality assurance policy in U.S. rural primary care
Abstract Based on mixed‐methods, ethnographic research in a geographically isolated rural medical center in the upper midwestern United States, this paper explores the social implications of healthcare quality assurance policies highly reliant on managerial logics, including measurement and monitoring programs.

Conflict, Climate, and Child Health: Evidence from Sub‐Saharan Africa
Abstract Many parts of the world are experiencing social and political instability, as well as ongoing climatic changes that are expected to accelerate in the years ahead. These changes can undermine children's health through multiple pathways, and the growing frequency of sociopolitical and environmental stressors increases the likelihood that ...

ABSTRACT Tsunami deposits serve as geological records of past events and are essential for understanding the occurrence and dynamics of tsunamis. However, conventional research has largely focused on sandy and boulder deposits, leaving gravel‐dominated tsunami deposits comparatively underexplored; furthermore, their characteristics and formation ...

ABSTRACT Terrigenous sediments are transported from coastal areas and shelves to deeper continental margins by multiple processes. Understanding these processes is critical for evaluating the ecological impacts of fine‐grained sediment deposition and predicting future changes in sediment dispersal under rapid climate change.

The Effect of Relevance on Children's Multiple Text Reading: Evidence From Eye Movements
ABSTRACT We examined how Finnish children read and integrate information across multiple expository texts when given an inquiry task. We were interested in how task‐relevance of text information affects readers' eye movements and whether the eye movements are connected to the quality of an essay written after reading.

The [ADJ + as] intensifier construction in Māori English/Aotearoa English
Abstract We introduce the Waikato Māori English Conversation (MEC) corpus, which consists of 43 dyadic conversations between 49 young adults who self‐recorded informal conversations with close friends, in their own homes, with no topic of conversation specified (83 hours of dialogue; nearly 800,000 words).

Sound offset responses become highly informative in the auditory cortex
Abstract figure legend Using large datasets of neural responses to diverse sounds recorded across four stages of the mouse auditory system (depicted and colour‐coded on the left), offset responses occurring after the termination of each sound (time window indicated by the orange shaded area superimposed with activity traces) were characterized and it ...

Consistent Quadratic Phase Formation in 3D Fast Spin Echo Using Frequency‐Modulated RF Pulses
ABSTRACT Purpose Frequency‐modulated (FM) RF pulses achieve broadband excitation with low RF peak power, which is required in MRI with inhomogeneous magnetic fields. However, the quadratic phase generated with FM pulses makes it difficult to use them in fast spin echo (FSE), because even and odd refocused echoes have different spatial phase profiles ...

Synthesis, Solubilization, and Photophysical Properties of Polyfluorinated Pentacene Dimers
The synthesis and photophysical analysis of polyfunctionalized pentacene dimers is described. Polyfluorination is employed to modulate the polarizability and to investigate the effects on the mechanism of singlet fission (SF). ABSTRACT A polyfluorinated pentacene dimer, linked with a 1,3‐diethynylphenylene spacer, was synthesized to investigate the ...

Elliptical β‐barrel deformation underlies gating in VDAC1
Abstract Gating by voltage‐dependent anion channels (VDAC) regulates mitochondrial metabolite flux, yet the structural mechanism underlying the open‐to‐closed transition remains unresolved. Here, we combine atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with double electron–electron resonance (DEER), using hydrostatic pressure as a reversible ...
