Stagewise Boosting Distributional Regression
ABSTRACT Distributional regression extends generalized additive models by linking all distributional parameters to covariates. Gradient boosting is among the most effective estimation techniques for such models, yet it can suffer from vanishing gradients, resulting in unstable updates and weak variable selection.

Surface‐Driven Protocell Formation in Geologically Relevant Early Earth Environment
Illustration of a prebiotic early‐Earth environment showing cell‐like protocells (blue spheres) and other complex organic molecules (pink and green spheres) distributed across terrestrial surfaces and within subsurface niches. Volcanic landscapes and mineral‐rich substrates provide diverse geochemical settings for the assembly and evolution of ...

Mitigating the seductive details effect by topic and irrelevance signals
Abstract Background Seductive details (interesting digressions in learning materials) are often integrated into learning units to make them more appealing to learners. However, studies indicate that this tends to overload students cognitively and impairs their learning performance. Aims The present study investigated whether these negative consequences

Ontology After Folk Psychology; or, Why Eliminativists Should Be Mental Fictionalists
ABSTRACT Mental fictionalism holds that folk psychology should be regarded as a kind of fiction. The present version gives a Lewisian prefix semantics for mentalistic discourse, where roughly, a mentalistic sentence “p” is true iff “p” is deducible from the folk psychological fiction.

Clathrins Are Involved in the Endocytosis of Host Cytosol in the Malaria Parasite
This study characterized clathrin function in hemoglobin uptake from host red blood cells via the malaria parasite's specific endocytosis machinery, cytostome. Clathrin heavy chain, clathrin light chain, and AP‐1 γ subunit were found associated with certain proteins known to be involved in cytostome function, and they were localized at the collars of ...

Computed Tomographic Grading of Ear Diseases in Guinea Pigs (Cavia porcellus)
ABSTRACT Ear disease affecting the external and middle ears is a significant health concern in guinea pigs, which can be clinically silent and, if left untreated, can lead to severe and irreversible complications. Computed tomography (CT) is the primary imaging modality used to diagnose otitis in other species, particularly otitis media (OM).

Corona Discharges Glow on Trees Under Thunderstorms
Abstract Coronae, which are weak electrical discharges, have long been hypothesized to form on trees under thunderstorms, though never directly observed, characterized, or quantified. Using a newly developed instrument that measures ultraviolet emissions from coronae, the first direct observations and quantifications of coronae are presented for two ...

Observations and Modeling of the Longest‐Recorded Delayed Sprite
Abstract Transient luminous events (TLEs), such as sprites, have been investigated via observations and simulations for decades. Recent TLE research has focused on effects leading to the delay of a sprite from its parent lightning flash. Here we investigate a sprite with by far the longest recorded delay to date, a delay of almost a full second (916.6 ±

On the Beam Characteristics of X‐Ray Bursts Observed in Rocket‐Triggered Lightning
Abstract Employing the multi‐station Thunderstorm Energetic Radiation Observation System, we detected X‐ray bursts during two rocket‐triggered lightning events in 2024. By innovatively integrating optical imaging with three‐dimensional lightning channel reconstruction based on Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), we analyzed the X‐ray emission ...

Abstract Ice‐nucleating particles (INPs), essential for initiating primary ice production in many mixed‐phase clouds, have only rarely been measured in air directly relevant for deep convective clouds. In July–August 2022 we used an aircraft to sample aerosol near developing deep convective clouds over Magdalena Mountain, New Mexico, USA.
