How Does Vulnerability Framing by Microfinance Institutions Leverage Funding Success in Crowdfunding?

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study draws on framing theory to investigate how microfinance institutions (MFIs) strategically construct a vulnerability‐oriented organisational identity and how this framing influences their funding decisions during the pre‐campaign phase of prosocial crowdfunding.

The gut microbiome promotes the growth performance of black soldier fly larvae by detoxifying uric acid

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the detrimental effects of exogenous uric acid (UA) on the growth of black soldier fly (BSF) larvae, highlighting the role of gut microbiota in UA degradation. We isolated UA‐degrading bacterial strains associated with BSF, including Enterococcus faecalis AHAU24.

The evolutionary landscape and serotypic dynamics of avian infectious bronchitis virus from spike protein

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This study integrates two decades of surveillance with genomic and structural analyses to decipher how spike protein glycosylation haplotypes drive avian coronavirus evolution. We uncover how specific glycosylation patterns associate with receptor‐binding affinity, shape global transmission dynamics, and correlate with clinical outcomes.

Gradual volatile memristor–based artificial neurons with high uniformity for neuromorphic computing

InfoScience, EarlyView.
Schematic of leaky integrate‐and‐fire artificial neurons for MNIST image classification. Abstract Artificial neurons are pivotal for neuromorphic hardware, but the development of compact and uniform devices remains challenging. Conventional volatile memristors suffer from abrupt switching, which hinders spatiotemporal consistency.

A Consistent Nonparametric Test for Causality in Quantile [PDF]

This paper proposes a nonparametric test of causality in quantile. Zheng (1998) has proposed an idea to reduce the problem of testing a quantile restriction to a problem of testing a particular type of mean restriction in independent data.
