Quantifying Structural Complexity, Effort, and Performance: An Early Experiment Using Network Design Tasks

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Structural Complexity is perceived as driving cost in system development, yet managing it effectively requires empirical understanding. This study investigates human decision‐making using a toy transportation‐style network design task, focusing on how Structural Complexity, Effort, and Performance interact. Seventy‐four participants (primarily

Titanium Detected in Liver, Kidney, Spleen, and Intestine Is Not Related to Dose, Time, or Route of Exposure to Titanium Dioxide: A Systematic Review

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Titanium dioxide (TiO2), used as a food additive (labeled E171 in Europe), was withdrawn from the European market in 2022. The E171 toxicity mechanism involves its uptake, oxidative stress, DNA damage, and inflammation. It has been hypothesized that the TiO2 accumulation nanoparticles (NPs) or E171 triggers tissue damage, and some studies have

Phthalate Metabolite, Mono(2‐Ethyl‐5‐Hydroxyhexyl) Phthalate (MEHHP), Promotes Uterine‐Fibroid–Associated Phenotypes in Myometrial Stem Cell‐Derived 3D Organoids

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how phthalate exposure contributes to uterine fibroid (UF) development by studying the effects of the Mono‐(2‐ethyl‐5‐hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), a metabolite of Di(2‐ethylhexyl) phthalate, on myometrial stem cells (MMSCs).

Bisphenols and Phthalates in Bottled Mineral Water: First Evidence of Co‐Occurrence, Estrogenic Activity, and Health Risk in Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bisphenol A (BPA), its structural analogs, and phthalates are synthetic chemicals widely used, with documented endocrine‐disrupting activity. This study aimed to develop and validate a selective multiresidue analytical method for the simultaneous determination of BPA, 10 bisphenol analogs, and six phthalates in PET‐bottled mineral water.

Generating Compressed Counterfactual Hard Negative Samples for Graph Contrastive Learning

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Graph contrastive learning (GCL) relies on acquiring high‐quality positive and negative samples to learn the structural semantics of the input graph. Previous approaches typically sampled negative samples from the same training batch or an irrelevant external graph.
