Healthcare Practitioner and Other Professionals' Perspectives on Gabapentinoid Misuse and Dependence: A Systematic Review of Qualitative Studies

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Pain, Volume 29, Issue 9, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective The global rise in gabapentinoid prescriptions for chronic pain has been striking. However, this trend has been accompanied by growing concerns about misuse and dependence. This qualitative systematic review aimed to synthesise the perspectives of healthcare practitioners and other professionals on these emerging ...

A note on the magnetic Steklov operator on functions

open access: yesMathematika, Volume 71, Issue 4, October 2025.
Abstract We consider the magnetic Steklov eigenvalue problem on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary for generic magnetic potentials and establish various results concerning the spectrum. We provide equivalent characterizations of magnetic Steklov operators which are unitarily equivalent to the classical Steklov operator and study bounds for the ...

Larger Fish Have Larger Brains With More Neurons Across but Not Within Cohorts Raised in Different Growth Conditions

open access: yesJournal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 533, Issue 9, September 2025.
Teles et al. propose a model of brain evolution that explains how come fish with larger bodies have larger brains with more neurons across cohorts raised in different growth conditions, while individuals within a cohort do not, mimicking the different findings across and within species, respectively.

Inspection Game With Imperfect Detection Technology

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), Volume 72, Issue 5, Page 694-712, August 2025.
ABSTRACT In this article, we investigate a generalized two‐player inspection game between an attacker and a defender who allocates multiple resources across a critical system. Specifically, the attacker targets components of the system while the defender coordinates multiple inspection units to monitor disjoint subsets of components and detect attacks.

A Primer on Inference and Prediction With Epidemic Renewal Models and Sequential Monte Carlo

open access: yesStatistics in Medicine, Volume 44, Issue 18-19, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Renewal models are widely used in statistical epidemiology as semi‐mechanistic models of disease transmission. While primarily used for estimating the instantaneous reproduction number, they can also be used for generating projections, estimating elimination probabilities, modeling the effect of interventions, and more.

Two-stage index computation for bandits with switching penalties I : switching costs [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper addresses the multi-armed bandit problem with switching costs. Asawa and Teneketzis (1996) introduced an index that partly characterizes optimal policies, attaching to each bandit state a "continuation index" (its Gittins index) and a ...

Electronic Conductive Metal–Organic Frameworks for Aqueous Rechargeable Zinc‐Ion Battery Cathodes: Design, Progress, and Prospects

open access: yesCarbon Energy, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
Schematic of the working principle of aqueous ZIBs and the benefits of electronic conductive metal–organic frameworks (EC‐MOFs) as cathode materials. ABSTRACT Zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs) have significant potential for advancements in energy storage systems owing to their high level of safety and theoretical capacity. However, ZIBs face several challenges,

Cost-aware Bayesian Optimization via the Pandora's Box Gittins Index

open access: yesAdvances in Neural Information Processing Systems 37
Bayesian optimization is a technique for efficiently optimizing unknown functions in a black-box manner. To handle practical settings where gathering data requires use of finite resources, it is desirable to explicitly incorporate function evaluation costs into Bayesian optimization policies.

Forward‐looking experimentation of correlated alternatives

open access: yesTheoretical Economics, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 883-909, July 2025.
This paper studies how a forward‐looking decision maker experiments on unknown alternatives of correlated utilities. The utilities are modeled by a Brownian motion such that similar alternatives yield similar utilities. Experimentation trades off between the continuation value of exploration and the opportunity cost of exploitation.
