We analyze critical behavior associated with the loss of bistability for an atomistic model for CO oxidation on surfaces in the limit of infinite diffusion of CO. The model includes infinite nearest-neighbor repulsions between adsorbed immobile O. We use a "hybrid" treatment incorporating a lattice-gas description of the O adlayer, but tracking just the number of adsorbed CO (which are randomly distributed on non-O sites). The critical exponents obtained from a finite-size-scaling analysis on LxL site surfaces with periodic boundary conditions show that the "hybrid" reaction model belongs to the mean-field universality class, despite strong spatial correlations in the O adlayer. We also quantify finite-size effects in the global bifurcation diagram, revealing a significant shift of the bistable region with decreasing system size. Our study elucidates fluctuation effects observed in experiments of CO oxidation on the nanoscale facets of metal-field emitter tips.

Background: Drug use trends change rapidly among youth, leaving intervention experts struggling to respond promptly. Delays in responses can lead to preventable morbidity and mortality. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the need for implementation science to facilitate rapid, equitable responses using existing treatment and prevention efforts.

Background: Intracerebral amyloid β (Aβ) accumulation is considered the initial observable event in the pathological process of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Efficient screening for amyloid pathology is critical for identifying patients for early treatment. This study developed machine learning models to classify positron emission tomography (PET) Aβ-positivity in participants with preclinical and prodromal AD using data accessible to primary care physicians.

Background: After the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, no studies on bacterial and atypical pathogens were conducted in primary care. We aimed to describe the etiological composition of acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) presenting to primary care with limited resources after the pandemic.
Methods: 1958 adult patients with ARTIs from 17 primary care clinics were recruited prospectively from January 2024 to March 2024.
