Out There No One Has a Right to Die

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The eventual goal of space exploration is to colonize exoplanets and their moons outside our solar system. This is a dangerous and immoral endeavour. The extraterrestrial life forms encountered would be hostile, vulnerable or both, and the descendants of the original pioneers would be involuntarily exposed to hazardous conditions and ...

Toll‐like receptor 4 mediates lipopolysaccharide‐induced emesis

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces inflammation and sepsis through Toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation. Common laboratory animals do not exhibit emesis, but administration of LPS in piglets, cats, and dogs induces emesis via peripheral mechanisms.

Story2Board: A Training‐Free Approach for Expressive Visual Storytelling

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present Story2Board, a training‐free framework for expressive storyboard generation from natural language. Existing methods narrowly focus on subject identity, overlooking key aspects of visual storytelling such as spatial composition, background evolution, and narrative pacing.

Scalable Computation of Topological Abstractions for Scalar Data

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Topological data analysis has become an important tool for large scale scalar data analysis and visualization, efficiently extracting the inherent structure and features of interest of the data. However, with growing dataset sizes and complexity, it is increasingly becoming infeasible to compute topological abstractions of interest in serial ...

Survey on Visualization of Information Diffusion over Networks

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Information Diffusion (ID) describes how a value (e.g., a pathogen, a rumor, a packet) spreads through an underlying “medium” network of elements (e.g., a social or computer network). Understanding the information diffusion process is essential to predicting trends, controlling misinformation, and enhancing decision‐making as well as ...

Inhibition of Ornithine Decarboxylase 1 Mitigates Denervation‐Induced Muscle Atrophy by Suppressing Proteolysis and Preserving Muscle Stem Cell Homeostasis

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Polyamine metabolism is innervation responsive and involved in denervation‐induced muscle atrophy. Inhibition of polyamine metabolism attenuates muscle atrophy by restraining proteolysis and preserving MuSCs homeostasis. Denervation‐induced activation of FAP‐derived FGF7 drives premature MuSCs activation, while DFMO suppresses this paracrine cue to ...

An Alien Word? Cosmic Salvation within a Rahnerian Framework

The Heythrop Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The possibility of life beyond our planet raises serious theological questions for Christians, particularly in the realm of soteriology. How would Jesus of Nazareth relate to such creatures? Is he the ‘universal’ saviour, in the cosmic sense? Or are there other incarnations of the Logos, the Word or Son of God?

Behavioural Determinants of Post‐Brushing Dental Plaque Levels: A Video‐Based Analysis

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Toothbrushing remains the most widely practiced method for dental plaque removal. However, evidence‐based guidance on optimal brushing method, duration, toothbrush bristle wear, and dentifrice quantity is still insufficient. This study aimed to identify behavioural factors associated with post‐brushing dental plaque levels using ...

Short Sleep Duration Measured by Smartwatch Is Associated With Elevated Resting Heart Rate and Reduced Nocturnal Oxygen Saturation: Insights From Heartbeat

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Short Sleep Duration and Wearable‐Derived Cardiovascular Metrics. ABSTRACT Introduction Sleep duration has been shown to impact cardiovascular outcomes; however, the impact on wearable‐derived metrics such as oxygen saturation and resting heart rate remains underinvestigated.
