Kinesin‐Induced Buckling Reveals the Limits of Microtubule Self‐Repair
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study shows that kinesin‐driven buckling induces extensive microtubule lattice damage that often exceeds intrinsic self‐repair and leads to filament failure. While curvature, motor motility, and force individually cause limited damage, their combination overwhelms repair.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A local high‐concentration electrolyte with tailored solvent‐separated ion pairs is pioneered to design for room‐temperature sodium‐sulfur batteries. This electrolyte allows sparingly dissolved polysulfides and localizes them onto reactive interfaces for liquid‐solid conversion.

The Effect of a Constant or a Declining Discount Rate on Optimal Investment Timing [PDF]
This paper shows that exponential discounting may have anadvancing effect on the timing of investment, not captured bysensitivity analysis carried out for the complete range of instantaneous discount rates implicit in declining discounting.Declining ...

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

Discounting the distant future: How much does model selection affect the certainty equivalent rate? [PDF]
Evaluating investments with long-term consequences using discount rates that decline with the time horizon, (Declining Discount Rates or DDRs) means that future welfare changes are of greater consequence in present value terms.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study investigates how CTCs survive varying shear stress during hematogenous metastasis. We uncover a self‐protection mechanism, by which non‐adherent CTCs adapt to high shearing milieu through accumulated cytoplasmic myosin‐mediated disruption of myosin‐actin binding, attenuating force transmission into chromatin to protect CTCs from shear ...

"Choice of Pension Discount Rate in Financial Accounting adn Stock Prices" [PDF]
Under present financial accounting standards, in Japan and in U.S., firms can hoose pension discount rates, which they use for earnings measurement, at their discretion. First, this paper investigates, what factors affect their choice of pension discount

The Connection between Wage Growth and Social Security's Financial Condition [PDF]
, 2007 The conventional view that faster wage growth would improve Social Security's financial condition rests on several measures of the program's finances that the Social Security trustees emphasize in their annual reports.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The lithium plating reaction in graphite electrodes acts as a root cause for the accelerated degradation and the internal short circuits in lithium‐ion batteries. Here, an electrochemical model based on multi‐scale microstructural images was established to identify lithium plating‐stripping processes, thereby supporting the predictive outcomes

Biolipid Film‐Fused Electrochemiluminescence for Multipurpose In Situ Bioassays
Advanced Science, EarlyView.An ECL‐emissive, membrane‐interactive scaffold was fabricated, and facilely fused with natural and non‐native phospholipids into multifactorial mimicries of cytomembranes and vesicles for in vitro representative membrane‐process probing. Such a biointerface‐based, state‐sensitive ECL paradigm not only pinpointed proximal phenomena, including channeling
