Creative Discretion on the Frontline of Public Services: A Longitudinal Qualitative Digital Diary and Interview Study

Public Administration, Volume 104, Issue 2, Page 330-344, June 2026.
ABSTRACT “Creative discretion”—defined as street‐level bureaucrats' use of their discretion to generate novel and useful ideas for customizing services to meet the needs of service users, superiors, and themselves—is vital as governments shift from traditional public management to a more user‐centered approach, emphasizing responsiveness over ...

First release of high-redshift superluminous supernovae from the Subaru HIgh-Z sUpernova CAmpaign (SHIZUCA). II. Spectroscopic properties

We present Keck spectroscopic observations of three probable high redshift superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) from the Subaru HIgh-Z sUpernova CAmpaign (SHIZUCA), confirming redshifts of 1.851, 1.965 and 2.399. The host galaxies were selected for transient

Evaluation of Loss of the Y Chromosome in Peripheral Blood as a Biomarker for Prostate Cancer

The Prostate, Volume 86, Issue 6, Page 665-675, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common malignant tumor in men, but the widely used prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) test has limited diagnostic accuracy. Research proposes that the loss of the Y chromosome (LOY) may affect the occurrence and development of prostate cancer, aiming to assess its potential as a diagnostic biomarker to

Bayesian Optimization with Dimension Scheduling: Application to Biological Systems [PDF]

Bayesian Optimization (BO) is a data-efficient method for global black-box optimization of an expensive-to-evaluate fitness function. BO typically assumes that computation cost of BO is cheap, but experiments are time consuming or costly.

Innermost Stable Circular Orbits and Epicyclic Frequencies Around a Magnetized Neutron Star

A full-relativistic approach is used to compute the radius of the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO), the Keplerian, frame-dragging, precession and oscillation frequencies of the radial and vertical motions of neutral test particles orbiting the ...

Using high‐resolution imagery to map Scots pine regeneration in the Scottish uplands

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
This study utilizes high‐resolution imagery to map over 90,000 naturally regenerating Scots pines across a 3360‐ha area in the Scottish Uplands. Our approach demonstrates that remote sensing can accurately quantify landscape‐scale forest expansion, identifying nearly 85% of saplings over 2 m tall.
