Article Synopsis
- * The study introduces enhanced modeling techniques for neutrino flux and detector response, and it distinguishes between starting (inside) and throughgoing (outside) neutrino interaction events to improve energy resolution.
- * The findings indicate a best-fit point for the 3+1 model with sin²(2θ_{24})=0.16 and Δm_{41}²=3.5 eV², supporting previous studies while showing consistency with no evidence of sterile neutrinos, as reflected
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of BAG3 genetic variants in heritable dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), focusing on how these variants contribute to the variability in disease expression and severity.
- Conducted at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, the research included a large cohort of patients, using whole-exome sequencing linked to electronic health records to analyze associations between BAG3 variants and clinical traits.
- Results indicated that the common C151R BAG3 variant is linked to a lower risk of DCM but an increased risk of HCM, with carriers showing better long-term health outcomes compared to noncarriers.
There is a paucity of information on the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of autistic children with high support needs. This study aims to address this gap by profiling a cohort of 915 children enrolled in full-time early intervention for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Australia between 2012 and 2024. Intake questionnaires assessed the sociodemographic characteristics of families entering the service.

Purpose: The aim of this exploratory study was to investigate perceptions of people who stutter and beliefs about the causes and cures of stuttering within the Hispanic/Latino community.
Methods: Respondents who were 18 or older and of Hispanic/Latino origin were invited to respond to a 24-question online survey. Questions involved exploring familiarity with and beliefs regarding etiologies, treatment approaches, treatment providers, stereotypes, and perceptions of people who stutter.
The frictional behavior of one-dimensional (1D) materials, including nanotubes, nanowires, and nanofibers, significantly influences the efficient fabrication, functionality, and reliability of innovative devices integrating 1D components. Such devices comprise piezoelectric and triboelectric nanogenerators, biosensing and implantable devices, along with biomimetic adhesives based on 1D arrays. This review compiles and critically assesses recent experimental techniques for exploring the frictional behavior of 1D materials.
