ELF5‐Mediated Enhancer–Promoter Interaction Regulates LALBA Expression in Ovine Mammary Gland

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In the study, we systematically investigate the epigenetic mechanisms underlying lactation traits in sheep by integrating transcriptomic, chromatin accessibility, histone modification, and functional analyses. We identify a super‐enhancer at the LALBA locus and demonstrate that enhancer E4 functions as its core regulatory element.

Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

A Language‐Guided Multimodal Foundation Model for Zero‐Shot and Multi‐Task Brain Signal Analysis

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
METIS aligns brain signals with natural‐language instructions to enable zero‐shot and multi‐task brain signal analysis. Pretrained on over 70 000 h of EEG and iEEG recordings, it generalizes across sleep stage classification, epilepsy detection, and neurological disorder diagnosis, providing a scalable foundation model for clinically meaningful brain ...

Adaptive Collision Sensitivity for Efficient and Safe Human–Robot Collaboration

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An adaptive collision‐sensitivity framework uses each robot link's effective mass to estimate contact forces online and decide when collaborative robots should stop or continue. Tested on simulated and real UR10e and simulated KUKA arms, it maintains conservative force estimates while reducing unnecessary stops and increasing task productivity. What is

Whose Talk is Worth More? A Case Study into Questioning Techniques of Native and Non-Native English-Speaking Teachers

Revue des Sciences Humaines, 2019
Although the native/non-native speaking teacher dichotomy has stirred up ample scholarly consideration and debate in the field of English language teaching, insufficient attention has been devoted to the interactional features that characterize teacher ...

Exploiting Edge Semantics in Job Shop Scheduling Problem With Heterogeneous Graph Transformers

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A heterogeneous graph transformer (HGT) is introduced for reinforcement learning‐based job shop scheduling by explicitly distinguishing precedence and machine‐contention relations through edge‐type‐specific attention. The proposed framework learns richer scheduling representations, improves decision quality over homogeneous graph models, and highlights

Machine Learning‐Enabled Field Prediction and Inverse Design of Functionally Graded Materials Inspired by Tendon–Bone Enthesis

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A mechanics‐informed machine learning framework enables mechanics field prediction and inverse design of tendon–bone enthesis‐inspired functionally graded materials that reduce stress concentration and failure risk. By coupling multiscale finite element modeling, convolutional field prediction, and kernel‐based inverse design, the study uncovers ...
