3I/ATLAS is the third interstellar object discovered to date, following 1I/‘Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov. Its unusually high excess velocity and active cometary nature make it a key probe of the Galactic population of icy planetesimals. Understanding its origin requires its past trajectory through the Galaxy to be traced and the possible role of stellar encounters to be assessed, both as a potential or
Context. A growing number of white dwarfs (WDs) exhibit one or more signs of remnant planetary systems, including transits, infrared excesses, and atmospheric metal pollution. WD 1054-226 stands out for its unique, highly structured, and persistent photometric variability.Aims. We investigate the long-term stability and nature of the periodic signals observed in WD 1054-226 to better understand th
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with autonomic dysfunction and increased cardiovascular risk, but the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on exercise-derived autonomic responses in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) remain unclear. Methods This study included nonsleepy patients (Epworth Sleepiness Scale score <10) with CAD and OSA (apnea–hypopnea i
Conventional or ‘true’ memory CD8+ T cells (TTM) arise from immunologically naive T cells that circulate in the periphery after selection in the thymus. During infection or immunization by a foreign antigen, naive T cells can receive antigen-specific activation signals after recognition of MHC-antigenic peptide complexes. But the CD8+ T-cell population in immunologically naive hosts is not restric
Metal joining remains an essential yet challenging process in manufacturing, particularly for components with small dimensions, multiplex, delicate geometries, or dissimilar metals, where conventional joining methods can be insufficient. Here, we introduce Gas Actuated Bonding (GAB), a novel joining method that employs gaseous melting-point-depressant (MPD) agents to induce a diffusion-active stat
The number of people seeking help for mental illness is increasing across all ages, creating a major burden for individuals, families, and the society. While personalized medicine is advancing in other fields, diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders remain largely symptom-based and fail to capture individual, sex, and gender differences in risk, manifestation, and treatment response. Early sig
Craft is re-emerging in debates on improving contemporary work. A recurring theme in research on craft is its potential to thwart alienation, which is considered one of the central pathologies of modern work. Through a case study of the Swedish craft beer community, we examine craft’s potential for de-alienating work. Drawing on Jaeggi’s conception of alienation as a relation of relationlessness,
This article examines a corpus of seventeenth-century letters written by Japanese-born Christian women exiled to Batavia following Tokugawa Japan’s anti-Christian measures of the late 1630s. Known as jagatara-bumi (Jakarta letters), these texts were produced under conditions of enforced separation, delayed communication, and close surveillance, circulating through Dutch, Chinese, and Nagasaki inte
PURPOSE: RAD51, a central player in the response to DNA damage, has been suspected to contribute to tumour resistance to therapy. A single-nucleotide polymorphism, RAD51 135G>C, in the untranslated region of the RAD51 gene elevates breast cancer risk among BRCA2 carriers. In this study, it was investigated whether this polymorphism is related to prognosis of breast cancer and RAD51 protein express
Rotating Detonation Combustors (RDCs) offer a promising alternative to conventional gas turbines by utilising continuous supersonic detonation waves for theoretical pressure-gain combustion, boosting thermal efficiencies significantly. However, developing reliable designs is exceptionally challenging because the extreme combustor environments restrict experimental sensors from capturing sub-micros
The industrial exploitation of high value nanoparticles is in need of robust measurement methods to increase the control over product manufacturing and to implement quality assurance. InNanoPart, a European metrology project responded to these needs by developing methods for the measurement of particle size, concentration, agglomeration, surface chemistry and shell thickness.

Measuring the number concentration of colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) is critical for assessing reproducibility, enabling compliance with regulation, and performing risk assessments of NP-enabled products. For nanomedicines, their number concentration directly relates to their dose. However, the lack of relevant reference materials and established traceable measurement approaches make the validation
Trots växande insatser förblir kustnära anpassning fragmenterad och otillräcklig när det gäller att hantera sårbarheten hos dem som drabbas mest. Dessa brister är inte enbart tekniska utan även politiska, formade av konkurrerande idéer om vad som räknas som anpassning och vem den tjänar. Även om det finns ett växande erkännande av behovet för att förstå de olika sätt på vilka anpassning upplevs ocDespite growing efforts, coastal adaptation remains fragmented and insufficient in addressing the vulnerabilities of those most affected. These shortcomings are not only technical but political, shaped by competing ideas about what counts as adaptation and whom it serves. Although there is growing recognition of the need to understand the various ways adaptation is known and experienced, empirical
This essay explores artistic expressions dealing with themes of nuclear weapons and radioactivity in Israel/Palestine. It brings together a variety of different sources representing critical interventions in the debate on Israeli nuclear weapons, particularly their opacity, and their absent presence in the country and in wider political debates. The artistic pieces demonstrate how the reactor is m
The languages individuals speak have been observed to influence how they perceive and interpret certain aspects of the world, but the conditions that give rise to these effects are not always clearly defined. One way to address the issue is to examine specific task contexts in which language is likely to modulate perception. Building on this, the aim of the present study was to investigate the rol
