Variations in domestic energy efficiency by property, neighbourhood and local authority type: where are the largest challenges for the net-zero transition of the UK’s residential stock?

Frontiers in Sustainability
Achieving net zero in the UK requires radical improvements in energy efficiency in housing combined with the decarbonisation of domestic heating. Achieving the energy efficiency goals requires a systems approach which takes account of variations at the ...

Assessment of mechanization status for some major crop value chains in Ghana

Academy Journal of Science and Engineering, 2023
Mechanization of agriculture is widely accepted as a means to raise agricultural output and ensure sufficient food supplies. Previous failed attempts to mechanize Ghana's agriculture have been linked to a failure on the part of policymakers to recognize ...

Pathways and pitfalls: a qualitative study of student experiences in biomedical science education

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biomedical science students from underrepresented backgrounds face barriers including financial strain, disrupted laboratory access and cultural exclusion. Peer networks provide vital support when institutional systems are difficult to navigate. To create inclusive learning environments and achieve academic success, educators should blend active, hands‐

Accurate and noninvasive prostate cancer detection using plasma‐derived extracellular vesicle RNA

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Plasma extracellular vesicles were captured with WGA‐conjugated magnetic beads and profiled for RNA biomarkers. A three‐RNA panel (NM_024955, NR_047469, and NR_002564) distinguished prostate cancer from healthy controls and benign prostatic hyperplasia, supporting a simple, noninvasive approach to improve prostate cancer detection.

Diffusion Policy Policy Optimization

CoRR
We introduce Diffusion Policy Policy Optimization, DPPO, an algorithmic framework including best practices for fine-tuning diffusion-based policies (e.g. Diffusion Policy) in continuous control and robot learning tasks using the policy gradient (PG) method from reinforcement learning (RL).

From patient advocacy to patient‐driven research: Building active partnerships beginning at the bench to reach the bedside

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Research is strongest when conducted alongside patients, not just about them. Patient research organizations help integrate patient perspectives into research priorities, study design, and scientific meetings, leading to meaningful patient outcomes and development of relevant therapies.

Comparative assessment of crystallographic and cryo‐EM models in the Protein Data Bank

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Raw data obtained by X‐ray crystallography or cryo‐EM result in experimental maps, ultimately fitted by atomic models. Although the physical principles are different, the final results can be viewed, compared, and evaluated in the same way. With cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) on track to surpass X‐ray crystallography as the preferred method ...

Policy Science and Health Policy.

Nippon Eiseigaku Zasshi (Japanese Journal of Hygiene), 2001
Policy science provides the analytical frameworks to examine (1) the process of policy formation and implementation (Issue definition, Agenda setting, Alternative development, Decision and implementation, and Appraisal); (2) the initial and final shapes of policy content (Temporal and special distribution of costs and benefits, Selection of ...

Self‐Regulated Learning Meets AI: Reinterpreting Self‐Regulation, Co‐Regulation, and Socially Shared Regulation in Human–AI Interaction

New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advancing artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed learning and work, yet higher education and professional development programs have not systematically equipped learners for AI‐prevalent environments. This lack of preparation creates uncertainty regarding control, responsibility, trust, and accountability.
