Guilt‐Free Indulgence: How Cultural‐Creative Elements Transform Visitor Experiences in Integrated Casino Resorts

International Journal of Tourism Research, Volume 28, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Integrated resorts (IRs) increasingly embed cultural and creative elements (CCEs) to buffer the moral tension that often accompanies hedonic consumption, yet the underlying psychological mechanisms remain underexplored. Drawing on cue utilization theory and cognitive dissonance theory, this study examines how CCE‐embedded extrinsic and ...

Phospholipid Profiling Established by Structure‐Rich Fragments for Molecular Species Level Shotgun Analysis

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 8, 30 April 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Accurate identification of phospholipid molecular species remains a major challenge in shotgun lipidomics because conventional tandem mass spectrometry typically resolves only one structural moiety at a time. This structural ambiguity limits confident lipid biomarker discovery and biological interpretation.

Saffron Alters Microbial Amino Acid Metabolism and Neurotransmitter Production in a Defined Gut Consortium

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Graphical representation of the metabolic pathways modulated by saffron within defined microbial communities. In the tryptophan pathway, saffron decreased levels of tryptophan and anthranilic acid while increasing concentrations of indole‐3‐acetic acid and tryptamine.

Directed Percolation and Tandem Queues [PDF]

, 1999
We outline some of the connections which exist between directed site percolation and tandem queues, and show how these can be (and have been, although generally not in the language of queueing theory) used to explicit shape theorems for certain first and

Compact tape‐driven sample delivery system for serial femtosecond crystallography

Journal of Applied Crystallography, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 291-302, April 2026.
A tape‐driven liquid sample droplet delivery system for serial femtosecond crystallography is described.We have developed a compact tape drive (CoT) with on‐demand sample delivery for time‐resolved serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) experiments, which can deliver sample droplets and/or initiate reactions with a drop‐on‐drop strategy.

Scaling Emerging Healthcare Technology: Managing Paradoxical Tensions in A Connected Health Platform

Journal of Operations Management, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 233-256, March 2026.
ABSTRACT To address growing geographical disparities in healthcare access and quality, connected health platforms (CHPs) have emerged as promising solutions. However, rapidly scaling CHPs poses significant challenges, particularly in managing tensions among multiple entities.

A Random Walker Algorithm for Plate Boundary Detection in Spherical Mantle Convection Models and Global Geophysical Data Sets: Application to Euler Vector Determination

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract As spherical shell mantle convection models become increasingly commonplace, understanding how plates are generated has raised the issue of how to recognize whether rigid plates are present in model output. Tectonocists have long recognized that intraplate regions are not rigid without exception.

Comparative Genomic and Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals Why Paenarthrobacter Strains Are Specialists in the Degradation of the Fungicide Iprodione

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
Paenarthrobacter are specialists in degrading the fungicide iprodione. We showed that this trait has evolved through gene duplication of ipaH and ddaH genes, being in the core genome of paenarthrobacters, and further genetic optimisation, with different strains being at different evolution stages depending on their prior exposure to iprodione ...
