Substrate stiffness effect on molecular crosstalk of epithelial-mesenchymal transition mediators of human glioblastoma cells

The complexity of the microenvironment effects on cell response, show accumulating evidence that glioblastoma (GBM) migration and invasiveness are influenced by the mechanical rigidity of their surroundings. The epithelial–mesenchymal trans...

The Archaeology of the Caribbean

A comprehensive synthesis of Caribbean prehistory from the earliest settlement by humans more than 4000 years BC, to the time of European conquest of the islands. The Caribbean was the last large area in the Americas to be populated, and it...

Neolithic pottery from the settlement of Mergen 6 in the Lower Ishim (groups III and IV): characteristics and interpretation

In this paper, a ceramic complex (groups III and IV) of the early Neolithic settlement of Mergen 6 (Lower Ishim River region, Western Siberia, 7th millennium BC) is examined. The aim of the work is to analyze the materials through the prism...

Nationalism and Archaeology in Europe

Archaeologists from many different European countries here explore the very varied relationship between nationalistic ideas and archaeological activity through the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The resurgence of national...

Core Scouring Dynamics and Gravitational Wave Consequences: Constraints on Supermassive Black Hole Binary Hardening

We present a multimessenger investigation of supermassive black hole binary (SBHB) hardening by jointly comparing models to the observed stellar mass deficits of nearby core galaxies and to nanohertz gravitational-wave background measuremen...

Testing the Physical Parameter Constraining Power of HCN and HNC with Neural Networks

We quantify the utility of HCN and HNC to characterize gas conditions in the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253. We use measurements from the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) Large Program ALCHEMI: the ALMA Comprehensive Hig...

Cusp of Non-Gaussian Density of Particles for a Diffusing Diffusivity Model

We study a two state “jumping diffusivity” model for a Brownian process alternating between two different diffusion constants, D+>D−, with random waiting times in both states whose distribution is rather general. In the limit of long measur...

Astrophysics of Planet Formation

Concise and self-contained, this textbook gives a graduate-level introduction to the physical processes that shape planetary systems, covering all stages of planet formation. Writing for readers with undergraduate backgrounds in physics, as...

Best practice relief supply for emergency services in a developed economy

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss the challenges inherent in planning and responding to disaster events in a multi-agency context where numerous governmental and non-governmental actors and agencies are involved in the plann...

A theory of algorithmic markets

This paper develops a dynamic framework for analyzing markets in which decision-making is increasingly delegated to adaptive algorithms. In contrast to classical approaches that treat equilibrium as the primitive object of analysis, the fra...

Audience and Algorithm: A Causal Layered Analysis of the Future of “Autonomy”

Extended AbstractPurpose and Research ProblemIn the digital age, the relationship between audiences and algorithms has become a defining arena of cultural negotiation and epistemic transformation. This study explores the futures of autonomy...

Criminal Victimization and Legal Challenges of Migrants in Developed Countries: A Critical Analysis

This article examines migrant victimization as a structural outcome of migration governance systems in developed countries. This study demonstrates that variations in enforcement intensity, labor-market segmentation, and procedural safeguar...

International business
