Exploiting Device Deformability for Fluid and Particle Manipulation

Small, EarlyView.
Deformable devices enable fluid and particle manipulation modes that are inaccessible to rigid platforms. This review examines soft materials and architectures that translate controlled deformation into microscale fluid operations such as pumping, valving, mixing, and particle handling.

Large‐Scale Structural Dynamics in the Tail Fiber Modulate the Infective Transition of the T7 Bacteriophage

Small, EarlyView.
During host recognition, the fibers of T7 bacteriophages transition from a capsid bound state to an extended conformation, which requires some level of fiber flexibility. By using high‐speed atomic force microscopy, we show that the fibers have an internal molecular hinge and a torsionally compliant coiled‐coil region.

“Bad Things Happen in Philadelphia”: Managing Stigma and Threats in the Wake of False Criminal Accusations

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
In the aftermath of the 2020 U.S. election, the boundary between activism and extremism blurred, with election officials reporting violent threats and false accusations of election fraud. From a symbolic interactionist perspective, these attacks provide a unique lens for examining the consequences of being falsely labeled a criminal.

First Assessment of Genetic Damage in the Speckled Cockroach (Nauphoeta cinerea) After Consumption of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) Cultivated and Commercialized in Northeastern, Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study reports, for the first time, the use of the speckled cockroach Nauphoeta cinerea as a promising bioindicator for genotoxic monitoring. It was validated through control groups (both positive and negative) in addition to testing lettuce (Lactuca sativa ) samples from public street markets consumed by N. cinerea specimens in Pernambuco,

GOVERNING THE CLOUD: Infrastructural Statecraft and the Political Ecology of Digital Expansion in Oregon

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Oregon's wave of data center and semiconductor projects shows how cloud capitalism reorganizes resource systems and territorial governance. Examining Amazon, Google, and Intel, the article traces how fiscal incentives, utility programs, and land‐use instruments are recalibrated to secure hyperscale loads.

RNA polymerase II transcription initiation with and without XPB translocase activity

Communications Biology
A key step in gene expression is the opening of DNA at the transcription start site (TSS), allowing RNA polymerase to begin RNA synthesis. In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase II initiates transcription within the pre-initiation complex (PIC), which includes ...

The Evolution of the Earnings Distribution in a Sustained Growth Economy: Evidence from Australia*

Economic Record, EarlyView.
We examine the evolution of earnings inequality, risk and mobility in Australia from 1991 to 2020 using a 10 per cent sample of administrative tax records from the ALife dataset. Our main findings are summarised as follows. First, earnings inequality follows a distinctive trajectory: top‐end inequality increased during the 1990s and 2000s but declined ...

From Conflicting Outcomes to Mutual Losses: How Punitive Responses to Problematic Substance Use Suppress Help‐Seeking and Cause Harm

Human Resource Management Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Problematic substance use (PSU) is a significant, inadequately managed people management challenge. Drawing on the conflicting outcomes and mutual losses perspectives on HRM and employee wellbeing, and using Job Demands‐Resources theory to explain underlying strain‐driven loss cycles, we examine factors shaping PSU and help‐seeking among 575 ...

The Questioning of Special Items During Conference Calls: High Quality or Highly Questionable? Réexaminer des éléments exceptionnels lors des conférences téléphoniques : une pratique d'excellence ou très contestable?

Contemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accounting standards require firms to distinguish recurring revenues and expenses from nonrecurring gains and losses, which are often referred to as special items. However, not all special items are genuinely nonrecurring. Exploiting the setting of earnings conference calls, we explore whether analysts can identify opportunistic special items,
