What Does the Shape Space of T Cell Epitopes Look Like? [PDF]

Immunol Rev
ABSTRACT Shape space is a decades‐old conceptual model of antibody–antigen interactions that underlies antigenic maps used to trace viral evolution. Here, we apply this concept to T cell receptors (TCRs) and the peptide–MHC complexes (pMHCs) that they recognize.

From Affect to Values: A Lexical Approach. [PDF]

J Pers
ABSTRACT Introduction Personal values act as guiding principles in life and are thought to be connected to affective experiences; however, past research has primarily examined the direction from values to affect rather than the reverse. This study identified theoretical frameworks suggesting a causal pathway from affect to values and tested this ...

Gone With the Wind: Exploring a Vanished Rock Dove, <i>Columba livia</i>, Hybrid Zone in the Sahara Desert. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In this study, we tested the hypothesis of the existence of a hybrid zone between two differentiated rock dove lineages, which may contribute significantly to their divergence. By analyzing newly generated genomic data from previously unsampled African rock dove populations, along with publicly available rock dove genomes, we provide evidence for the ...

Predicting patient-reported quality of vision through multifocal optics. [PDF]

Ophthalmic Physiol Opt
Abstract Purpose To explore the agreement between computationally modelled point‐spread functions (PSFs) and multifocal soft contact lens wearers' descriptions of image quality. Methods In Phase 1, participants were fitted with a single vision soft contact lens (SCL) in the left eye, and four different multifocal (MF) SCLs in the right eye in ...

Dimensionality Reduction Techniques for Analyzing Tsunami Simulations in Hazard Assessment and Forecasting Applications

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract A wide selection of linear and non‐linear dimensionality reduction techniques is evaluated on synthetic tsunami data that is the basis for tsunami hazard assessment and computational forecasting. The data were computed from earthquake rupture forecasts (ERFs) supplying initial generation conditions and a linear long‐wave Green's function ...

From signing up to staying in: Exploring factors associated with engagement in parenting programs

Family Relations, Volume 75, Issue 2, Page 1453-1471, April 2026.
Abstract Objective This study explored individual and program factors associated with engagement in early childhood parenting programs in the United Arab Emirates. Background Parenting programs can improve caregiver well‐being, parenting skills, and child outcomes, but their success relies on effective recruitment and sustained participation ...

Experimental evidence for the “greening” of proglacial streams: Biofilm responses to a transition from glacial to groundwater sources

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Climate change‐induced glacier retreat leads to the reorganization of fluvial landscapes in proglacial terrains and transitions between streams fed predominantly by glacial meltwater and groundwater. To explore the effects of such ecosystem transitions on benthic biofilm communities, we gradually mixed water from a glacier‐fed stream (GFS) and

Aerial Localization and Navigation for Surveillance of Large, Featureless, GNSS‐Denied Maritime Environments

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 42, Issue 8, Page 4215-4235, December 2025.
ABSTRACT In this study, we tackle the problem of surveilling a large area over the sea without access to the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) while searching for the known target vessel. The system utilizes an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with long‐range radio frequency (LoRa) localization and an RGB camera to detect the target ...

Multidimensional Scaling With Heaviside Weighting: Extensions to Curvilinear Component Analysis and Curvilinear Distance Analysis

Stat, Volume 14, Issue 3, September 2025.
ABSTRACT In this article, I propose extensions to multidimensional scaling (MDS) variants that use Heaviside weighting for manifold learning, namely, curvilinear component analysis and curvilinear distance analysis. These methods weight the approximation error with a Heaviside function to ignore larger fitted distances in the configuration, thus ...

Drivers of Coral and Sponge Community Composition and Size Structure Revealed With Cumulative Abundance Profiles

Marine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT Deep‐sea corals and sponges form ecologically significant habitats that support biodiversity hotspots and contribute to important ecosystem functions such as carbon and nutrient cycling as well as benthic‐pelagic coupling. However, quantifying their contributions to ecosystem functioning requires examination not only of the fine spatial ...
