Positivity bounds in scalar Effective Field Theories at one-loop level by Yunxiao Ye, Bin He, Jiayin Gu

“…In particular, the one-loop generated dimension-8 operator coefficients (that would be positive if generated at the tree level), as well as their β-functions are generally not subject to positivity bounds as they might correspond to interference terms of the cross sections under the optical theorem, which could have either sign. …”

Patient characteristics and pharmacologic treatment patterns in antifibrotic-treated patients with fibrosing interstitial lung diseases: real-world results from a claims database by Yasuhiro Kondoh, Tomohiro Ito, Hana Kimura, Haikun Bao, Masataka Kuwana

“…Abstract Background Antifibrotics have been approved for use in many countries, including Japan, based on the results of several phase III clinical trials in patients with IPF, SSc-ILD, and PPF, which showed slower lung function decline with antifibrotic treatment. There is a paucity of information on the real-world use of antifibrotics in clinical practice. …”

Land cover classification for Siberia leveraging diverse global land cover datasets by Munseon Beak, Kazuhito Ichii, Yuhei Yamamoto, Ruci Wang, Beichen Zhang, Ram C. Sharma, Tetsuya Hiyama

“…We trained the RF classifiers with multiple land cover products to produce a more precise land cover product for Siberia. The validations showed that: (a) the generated new land cover data achieved the highest overall accuracy (85.04%) and kappa coefficient (82.62%); (b) the classifications of mixed forest (user accuracy: 97.85%) and grasses (user accuracy: 94.85%) demonstrated improvements, showing higher performance compared to most other types; and (c) by comparing the distribution of land cover across climate zones, we discovered that temperature is a critical factor throughout Siberia. …”

Loss of neuropeptidergic regulation of cholinergic transmission induces homeostatic compensation in muscle cells to preserve synaptic strength. by Jiajie Shao, Jana F Liewald, Wagner Steuer Costa, Christiane Ruse, Jens Gruber, Mohammad S Djamshedzad, Wulf Gebhardt, Alexander Gottschalk

“…Here, we assessed the role of neuropeptide signaling in the plasticity of NMJ function in Caenorhabditis elegans. We show that the CAPS (Ca2+-dependent activator protein for secretion) ortholog UNC-31, which regulates exocytosis of dense core vesicles, affects both pre- and post-synaptic functional properties, as well as NMJ-mediated locomotion. …”
