The Decentralization of Liquor Policies in Texas During the Post‐Prohibition Era

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the decentralization of liquor policies in Texas during the Post‐Prohibition era using newly collected historical legislative roll call data. By combining these data with local referendum vote shares, we analyze both legislators' and constituents' preferences on liquor policy.

Quantitative evaluation of LED‐based optical autofocus module

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract We report an improved version of the open‐source optical autofocus (OAF) module (openAF) for light microscopy, replacing the superluminescent diode (SLD) with a multimode‐optical fibre‐coupled LED as a more accessible AF module light source. We also present a method for independently quantifying AF system performance using 2D autocorrelation ...

Novel murine closed‐loop auditory stimulation paradigm elicits macrostructural sleep benefits in neurodegeneration

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Boosting slow‐wave activity (SWA) by modulating slow waves through closed‐loop auditory stimulation (CLAS) might provide a powerful non‐pharmacological tool to investigate the link between sleep and neurodegeneration. Here, we established mouse CLAS (mCLAS)‐mediated SWA enhancement and explored its effects on sleep deficits in neurodegeneration,

Quadratic and cubic spline interpolation

Journal of Approximation Theory, 1984
Let (k,m) denote the class of k degree interpolating polynomial splines whose interpolation conditions are given by mth derivative values. Here we study the (2,0) and (3,1) problems.

Weaponizing Kinship: A Demographic Analysis of Bereavement in the Colombian Conflict

Population and Development Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The ongoing Colombian armed conflict has produced widespread homicides and enforced disappearances, as armed actors used violence to terrorize communities and consolidate power. Family bereavement—one of the most pervasive and enduring consequences of this violence—remains critically understudied from a quantitative perspective.

Advanced numerical treatment of modified Burger’s equations using method of lines and cubic B-splines

Results in Control and Optimization
The modified Burger’s equation is a nonlinear partial differential equation that has numerous applications across physics and engineering. This paper presents a numerical solution approach by combining the method of lines and cubic B-Spline interpolation

Thermal Safety Margins and Peak Leaf Temperatures Predict Vulnerability of Diverse Plant Species to an Experimental Heatwave

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extreme heat can push plants beyond their thermal safety margin (TSM) if maximum leaf temperature (Tleaf_max) exceeds leaf critical temperature (Tcrit). The TSM is potentially useful for assessing heat vulnerability across species but needs further validation, so we exposed 50 tree/shrub species in controlled glasshouses to a 6‐day heatwave ...

Alluvial ridge morphology on avulsing rivers

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alluvial ridges are built by preferential channel‐belt deposition and control river avulsions, yet a systematic analysis of their morphology has been missing. To address this gap, we analyse a globally distributed dataset of 8970 alluvial ridge flanks on 14 different rivers.

Perceptual Priors Update Contextual Feedback Processing in V1

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Contextual information and prior knowledge facilitate perceptual processing, improving our recognition of even distorted or obstructed visual inputs. As a result, neuronal processing elicited by identical sensory inputs varies depending on the context in which we encounter those inputs.

Short Echo‐Time Spiral MRSI Versus Single‐Voxel Spectroscopy in the Human Brain at 3 Tesla With Semi‐LASER Localization

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 4, Page 1524-1533, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose Magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques are widely used to non‐invasively study brain metabolism. Despite advances in magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), there is a notable absence of research on comparing fast non‐Cartesian MRSI with single‐voxel spectroscopy (SVS), limiting our understanding of its performance and ...
