Technosignatures Longevity and Lindy's Law
The probability of detecting technosignatures (i.e., evidence of technological activity beyond Earth) increases with their longevity, or the time interval over which they manifest. Therefore, the assumed distribution of longevities has some bearing on the ...
Bristol2024Neutrino Signal from a Population of Seyfert Galaxies
IceCube Collaboration has previously reported evidence for a neutrino signal from a Seyfert galaxy NGC 1068. This may suggest that all Seyfert galaxies emit neutrinos. To test this hypothesis, we identify the best candidate neutrino sources among nearby Se ...
Amer Physical Soc2024Thermal Conditions in Indoor Environments: Exploring the Reasoning behind Standard-Based Recommendations
Professionals in the building design and operation fields typically look at standards and guidelines as a reliable source of information and guidance with regard to procedural, contractual, and legal scope and requirements that are relevant to accountabili ...
2023Targeting the Progesterone Receptor in Breast Cancer: Mind the Short Form!
Cathrin Brisken, Carlos Henrique Venturi Ronchi
The presurgical window of opportunity trial (WOT) MIPRA provides evidence that neoadjuvant treatment with the prog-esterone receptor (PR) antagonist mifepristone (RU486) may benefit patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer characterized ...
AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH2023Search for dark photon decays to μ+μ- at NA62
Radoslav Marchevski, Alina Kleimenova
The NA62 experiment at CERN, designed to study the ultra-rare decay K+ -> pi(+) nu(nu) over bar, has also collected data in beam-dump mode. In this configuration, dark photons may be produced by protons dumped on an absorber and reach a decay volume beginn ...
New York2023Ricca's factors as mobile proteinaceous effectors of electrical signaling
Leaf-feeding insects trigger high-amplitude, defense-inducing electrical signals called slow wave potentials (SWPs). These signals are thought to be triggered by the long-distance transport of low molecular mass elicitors termed Ricca's factors. We sought ...
CELL PRESS2023Learning Transformations To Reduce the Geometric Shift in Object Detection
Mathieu Salzmann, Martin Pierre Engilberge, Vidit Vidit
The performance of modern object detectors drops when the test distribution differs from the training one. Most of the methods that address this focus on object appearance changes caused by, e.g., different illumination conditions, or gaps between syntheti ...
Los Alamitos2023Influence of channel geomorphic units on bedload transport and river morphology during low‐magnitude bed‐forming floods coupled with sediment augmentation
Giovanni De Cesare, Severin Stähly, Christian Mörtl, Robin Schroff
In this study, we map different types of channel geomorphic units in a sediment-starved, residual-flow reach before and after an artificial flood. Bedload particles of a previous sediment augmentation measure are tracked with passive integrated transponder ...
2023TGF beta-mediated MMP13 secretion drives myoepithelial cell dependent breast cancer progression
Cathrin Brisken, Andrea Agnoletto
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a non-obligate precursor of invasive breast cancer. Virtually all women with DCIS are treated, despite evidence suggesting up to half would remain with stable, non-threatening, disease. Overtreatment thus presents a press ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Scale effects on efficiency and profitability in the Swiss banking sector
This paper analyzes efficiency and profitability in the Swiss banking sector over the period 1997–2019. We find strong evidence for scale economies: for most banks in the sample, efficiency and profitability increase with bank size. Using an instrumental v ...
