The Collective Power of Bacteria as a Blueprint for Emergent Intelligence

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Small cells, powerful collectives. Bacteria demonstrate how sophisticated behaviors can emerge from many simple individuals working together. We explore the remarkable world of bacterial communities and the mechanisms that underpin their complex emergent behaviors, enabling impressive adaptability, robustness, and responsiveness to changing ...

Balancing Exploration and Exploitation Through a Sequential Hybrid of Roach Infestation and Mayfly Algorithms for Constrained Engineering Design Optimization

AI &Innovation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maintaining an effective balance between exploration and exploitation is essential during optimization processes, from mathematical functions to more complex problems such as constrained engineering design optimization, particularly when addressing highly nonlinear issues with numerous local optima and strict feasibility requirements.

Diagnosing the system: Mental health, necropolitical uncare, and the abolition of migration detention

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the psychological effects of migration detention in the European Union's Closed Controlled Access Center (CCAC) on Samos through an ecological lens. It explores a double normalization of suffering: the brutalization of necropolitical migration governance and the simultaneous understanding of resulting distress as an ...

Occupational Conditions and Well‐Being Among Informal Waste Pickers in Hong Kong: A Comparative Study of 2018 and 2023

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Informal waste pickers play a crucial role in urban recycling systems but often face precarious employment and systematic marginalization. This study examines the evolving demographic, occupational, and health trends of informal waste pickers in Hong Kong between 2018 and 2023.

Toward a Behavioral Reserve Model in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Behavioral impairment is common in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and strongly affects autonomy, caregiver burden, and outcomes, yet predictors of vulnerability remain unclear. We investigated whether premorbid regulatory traits and socio‐educational exposures are associated with behavioral phenotypes in ALS within a behavioral reserve ...

Influence Mechanism of Structural Parameters of a Novel Sleeve‐Shaft Counterrotating Hydrodynamic Cavitation Reactor on Cavitation Characteristics and Performance

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study systematically investigates the cavitation characteristics of a novel sleeve‐shaft counterrotating (SSCR) hydrodynamic cavitation reactor using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Based on the RANS framework combined with the SST k–ω turbulence model and the Zwart–Gerber–Belamri cavitation model, the temporal–spatial evolution of ...

Effect of UHMWPE Incorporation on the Tribological Performance of Carbon fiber‐Reinforced PEEK Nanocomposites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
UHMWPE provides interfacial lubrication, improving tribological performance of PEEK‐based sliding bearing bushings. ABSTRACT Ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) was incorporated into a PEEK‐based hybrid material as a lubrication additive to improve the friction and wear performance of the composite due to its superior lubricity ...

Revisiting paravertebral muscles in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) (Leporidae; Lagomorpha)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

Growth dynamics, skeletochronology, and histovariability of the theropod dinosaur Berthasaura leopoldinae

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Osteohistological sampling on different bones of theropod dinosaur documents discrepant age record, growth, and metabolism. This could result unprecise paleobiological inferences if samplings are based on single bones. However, multi‐bone sampling can attenuate these discrepancies, helping to infer growth dynamics and physiology of these extinct ...

Osteohistology of two phorusrhacids reveals uninterrupted growth strategy

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Phorusrhacidae were apex predators that primarily dominated South America ecosystems for at least 40 million years with their imposing size and predatory lifestyle—yet some aspects of their biology remain poorly understood. Osteohistology is a tool for understanding growth dynamics and biomechanical adaptations.
