Epistemic artifacts and changing patterns of observation

This paper explores how epistemic artifacts have transformed our understanding of scientific observation. It examines the historical evolution from basic instruments such as Mayan quadrants and Galileo’s telescope to today’s sophisticated e...

Evolution of the Shadow Effect with Film Thickness and Substrate Conductivity on a Hemispherical Workpiece during Magnetron Sputtering

When depositing films on a complex workpiece surface by magnetron sputtering, the shadow effect occurs and causes the columnar structure to tilt toward the substrate owing to the oblique incident angle of the plasma flux, affecting the micr...

Active galactic nucleus activity in nearby disk galaxies: The roles of bar strength and spiral arm morphology

Context. The transport of gas toward galactic centers and its connection to active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity remain key open questions in galaxy evolution. In particular, the relative roles of stellar bars and spiral arms and their po...

Evolution of use and overuse of triptans in Austria – What has changed in the last 15 years?

Abstract Background Triptans are highly effective acute treatments for migraine attacks, yet population-level data suggest persistent underuse. Updated real-world data on triptan use and overuse in Austria are lacking. Methods This nationwi...

Topical Pharmacological Treatment of Actinic Keratoses: Focus on Tirbanibulin 1% Ointment

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a frequent precancerous skin lesion that mostly affects chronically sun-exposed areas. Chronic sun damage leads to various mutations in onco-suppressor and oncogenic genes which cause an uncontrolled proliferation ...

Nuclear genomic signals of the ‘microturbellarian’ roots of platyhelminth evolutionary innovation

Flatworms number among the most diverse invertebrate phyla and represent the most biomedically significant branch of the major bilaterian clade Spiralia, but to date, deep evolutionary relationships within this group have been studied using...

Under Pressure: Interactions between Commensal Microbiota and the Teleost Immune System

Commensal microorganisms inhabit every mucosal surface of teleost fish. At these surfaces, microorganisms directly and indirectly shape the teleost immune system. This review provides a comprehensive overview of how the microbiota and micro...

Advanced DFE, MLD, and RDE Equalization Techniques for Enhanced 5G mm-Wave A-RoF Performance at 60 GHz

This article presents the decision feedback equalizer (DFE), the maximum likelihood detection (MLD), and the radius-directed equalization (RDE) algorithms designed in MATLAB-R2018a to equalize the received signal in a dispersive optical lin...

Optimization of False Target Jamming against UAV Detection

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used for target detection in modern battlefields. From the viewpoint of the opponents, false target jamming is an effective approach to decrease the UAV detection ability or probability, but ...

The JWST Resolved Stellar Populations Early Release Science Program. VIII. The Spatially Resolved Star Formation History of WLM

Radial stellar population gradients within dwarf galaxies provide a promising avenue for disentangling the drivers of galaxy evolution, including environment. Within the Local Volume, radial stellar age gradient slopes correlate with intera...
