FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This study addressed how a senior research thesis is perceived by undergraduate students. It assessed students' perception of research skills, epistemological beliefs, and career goals in Biochemistry (science) and BDC (science‐business) students. Completing a thesis improved confidence in research skills, resilience, scientific identity, closed gender‐

Sensitivity study of crack driving force predictions in heterogeneous welds using Vickers hardness maps [PDF]
, 2016 Weld flaws often require an engineering critical assessment (ECA) to judge on the necessity for weld repair. ECA is a fracture mechanics based prediction of the integrity of welds under operating conditions.

The Constant Inapproximability of the Parameterized Dominating Set Problem [PDF]
, 2015 We prove that there is no fpt-algorithm that can approximate the dominating set problem with any constant ratio, unless FPT= W[1]. Our hardness reduction is built on the second author's recent W[1]-hardness proof of the biclique problem.

Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Near-Optimal UGC-hardness of Approximating Max k-CSP_R [PDF]
, 2015 In this paper, we prove an almost-optimal hardness for Max $k$-CSP$_R$ based on Khot's Unique Games Conjecture (UGC). In Max $k$-CSP$_R$, we are given a set of predicates each of which depends on exactly $k$ variables.

New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article explores institutional policies on artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education. As AI tools become increasingly utilized in academia—from research and teaching to assessment and student support—institutions face growing pressure to establish clear, ethical, and practical guidelines to help guide faculty.

Thermodynamic aspects of materials' hardness: prediction of novel superhard high-pressure phases
, 2011 In the present work we have proposed the method that allows one to easily estimate hardness and bulk modulus of known or hypothetical solid phases from the data on Gibbs energy of atomization of the elements and corresponding covalent radii.
