MDS Self-Dual Codes and Antiorthogonal Matrices over Galois Rings

Information, 2019
In this study, we explore maximum distance separable (MDS) self-dual codes over Galois rings G R ( p m , r ) with p ≡ − 1 ( mod 4 ) and odd r.

The Unintended Consequences of Sugar‐Sweetened Beverage Taxes on Sales and Prices of Beer Beverages

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper estimates the causal effect of Berkeley's sugar‐sweetened beverage (SSB) tax on beer purchases and prices using retail scanner data from 2014 to 2015. Applying both synthetic control and difference‐in‐differences (DID) approaches, we find that the tax reduced beer purchases within Berkeley by 8.9%, while having a negligible effect ...

The Use of Conditional Variational Autoencoders in Generating Stellar Spectra

Astronomy
We present a conditional variational autoencoder (CVAE) that generates stellar spectra covering 4000 ≤ Teff ≤ 11,000 K, 2.0≤logg≤5.0 dex, −1.5≤[M/H]≤+1.5 dex, vsini≤300 km/s, ξt between 0 and 4 km/s, and for any instrumental resolving powers less than ...

Completing prefix codes in submonoids

Theoretical Computer Science, 2006
The paper deals with some aspect of the weak completeness of prefix codes, defined in the work of Jean Névand and Carla Selmi [Int. J. Algebra Comput. 13, No.~5, 507--516 (2003; Zbl 1064.68076)]. For a given submonoid \(M\) of a free monoid \(A^*\), a code \(X\) is said to be weakly \(M\)-complete if and only if \(X\subseteq M\) and each word in \(M ...

Association of a single prior cesarean delivery with adverse birth outcomes at a tertiary referral hospital in southwestern Uganda: A secondary analysis of four observational studies

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Prior cesarean delivery (CD) is a leading indication for repeat CD and a key driver of rising cesarean rates in Sub‐Saharan Africa. Evidence on associations between prior CD and adverse outcomes in low‐resource settings remains limited.

A Pan‐Cancer Single‐Cell Atlas of Bone Metastases Reveals Convergent Malignant Programs and Coordinated Immune Dysfunction

iMetaMed, EarlyView.
A pan‐cancer atlas deciphers tumor‐induced reprogramming in bone metastases. Malignant evolution toward MYC/proliferation is a hallmark of bone metastases. Niche‐mediated immune dysfunction is characterized by immature pDCs, impaired antigen presentation and phagocytosis in TAMs, and exhausted T cells.

The German Soil Systematics and the Rationale Behind Its Revision

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The German Soil Systematics is a pedogenetic classification based on the morphological expressions of pedogenic processes and has been developed over several stages since 1952. The system has successfully been in use for soil classification and soil survey for almost 70 years.

Resilience Pathways for Land Degradation Neutrality: How Informal Institutions Shape Community Land Governance Across the Global South

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A decade after Land Degradation Neutrality was incorporated into Sustainable Development Goal 15.3, implementation outcomes across the Global South remain uneven. Mainstream commons research identifies recurring institutional features, whereas critical institutionalism emphasizes their adaptive assembly; both traditions increasingly recognize ...

Multi-Party Controlled Semi-Quantum Dialogue Protocol Based on Hyperentangled Bell States

Entropy
To solve the fundamental problem of excessive consumption of classical resources and the simultaneous security vulnerabilities in semi-quantum dialogue systems, a multi-party controlled semi-quantum dialogue protocol based on hyperentangled Bell states ...

An (αβ)2 Architecture of the Arabidopsis thaliana tRNA Splicing Endonuclease Complex: Structural Modeling and Evolutionary Analyses

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The tRNA splicing endonuclease (TSEN) removes introns from precursor tRNAs (pre‐tRNAs) in eukaryotes and archaea, but the architecture and subunit organization of plant TSEN remain poorly defined. Here, we integrated in planta bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assays with AlphaFold3 (AF3)‐based structural modeling, molecular ...
