Front Med. 13:1815659. doi: 10.3389/fmed.2026.1815659 There was a mistake in Table 1 as published. In the sedative medication use rows of Table 1.
Large language models discover complementary heuristics for combinatorial optimization
Abstract Combinatorial optimization (CO) underpins decision-making across science, engineering and industry, especially manufacturing, logistics, healthcare operations and energy management. However, designing effective heuristics for each new problem variant requires deep domain knowledge and months of expert iteration. Directly prompting large language models (LLMs) can generate executable code, but single-pass synthesis of complete heuristics routinely fails on new CO problems.

A Sirtuin‐1‐Targeted Gene‐Activating Tetrahedral DNA Attenuates Bladder Fibrosis by Restoring Mitophagy in Fibroblasts via the SIRT1‐FOXO3‐BNIP3 Axis
1 Introduction Fibrosis represents a pathological process characterized by tissue repair and scarring, strongly associated with chronic inflammatory responses and other underlying mechanisms.[1] Within the field of urology, bladder dysfunction is frequently linked to fibrotic remodeling.[2] The development of fibrosis in the bladder leads to impaired contractility of the detrusor muscle, resulting in the inability to voluntarily void among affected patients.
Editorial: special Issue on ‘Digitalisation and artificial intelligence in maritime transport: operations, management, and policy’
1. Introduction The maritime industry is undergoing an unprecedented transformation driven by digitalisation and artificial intelligence (AI). Once considered conservative in its technological adoption, the sector now embraces data analytics, machine learning, and automation as central elements of its operational, managerial, and policy agendas. These developments are reshaping how ships and ports are managed, how supply chains operate, and how decisions are made across the maritime ecosystem.

Semi-supervised learning for multi-target regression in ship risk prediction
ABSTRACT Limited port state control (PSC) inspection resources pose an urgent need to enhance PSC inspection efficiency. While existing PSC officers (PSCOs) assignment randomly assign ships with PSCOs, this study aims to predict ship deficiency numbers under various deficiency categories (types of non-compliance) using machine learning (ML) models. Moreover, not all foreign visiting ships to a port are inspected by PSC, which leads to a large amount of unlabeled data remaining unexplored.

Spiral and helical formation of passive and active polymers with stiffness heterogeneity in a spherical cavity
Spiral and helical formation of passive and active polymers with stiffness heterogeneity in a spherical cavity Biomolecules usually adopt ubiquitous circular structures which are important for their functionality. Based on three-dimensional Langevin dynamics simulations, we investigate the conformational change of a polymer confined in a spherical cavity. Both passive and active polymers with either homogeneous or heterogeneous stiffness are analyzed in a comparative manner.

Forced and spontaneous translocation dynamics of a semiflexible active polymer in two dimensions
Forced and spontaneous translocation dynamics of a semiflexible active polymer in two dimensions Polymer translocation is a fundamental topic in non-equilibrium physics and is crucially important to many biological processes in life. In the present work, we adopt two-dimensional Langevin dynamics simulations to study the forced and spontaneous translocation dynamics of an active filament. The influence of polymer stiffness on the underlying dynamics is explicitly analyzed.
Agronomy | Free Full-Text | Use of Food Attractant to Monitor and Forecast Population Dynamics of Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), a Long-Distance Migratory Pest
1. Introduction Rice is one of the world’s major food crops, with about 3 billion people worldwide relying on rice as a staple food. The rice leaf folder, Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), is one of the most significant pests affecting rice. The larvae prefer to feed on young rice leaves, often causing white streaks on the surface, which affects leaf photosynthesis, leading to an increase in the rate of rice blight and a decrease in grain weight [1,2,3]. Frequent outbreaks of C.
Funding awarded for cell tracking to safe guard CAR T-cell cancer therapy
Researchers from Kings College London and University College London have been awarded £500,000 from Cancer Research UK’s Multidisciplinary Project Award, to develop a novel PET imaging reagent for Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell in vivo tracking. CAR T-cell immunotherapy is a new type of cancer treatment in which a patient's T-cells (a type of immune or white blood cell) are modified in the laboratory so they will bind to the cancer cells and kill them.
Translocation Dynamics of an Active Filament through a Long-Length Scale Channel
Active filament translocation through a confined space is crucial for diverse biological processes. By using Langevin dynamics simulations, we investigate the translocation dynamics of an axially self-propelled chain through a channel. First, results show a suggestive reciprocal scaling of translocation time versus active force. Second, in the case of a long channel, we demonstrate a very intriguing nonmonotonic change of translocation time with increasing channel width.
Analysis of influencing factors and prediction of China’s Containerized Freight Index
1 Introduction On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO). declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, which was later classified as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. The global impact of COVID-19 has been far-reaching, leading to significant disruptions in various sectors, including international trade.
Genome-Wide Expression Analysis of Long Noncoding RNAs and Their Target Genes in Metafemale Drosophila
Abstract : Aneuploidy is usually more detrimental than altered ploidy of the entire set of chromosomes. To explore the regulatory mechanism of gene expression in aneuploidy, we analyzed the transcriptome sequencing data of metafemale Drosophila. The results showed that most genes on the X chromosome undergo dosage compensation, while the genes on the autosomal chromosomes mainly present inverse dosage effects.

CoNet: Efficient Network Regression for Survival Analysis in Transcriptome-Wide Association Studies—With Applications to Studies of Breast Cancer
3.1. Simulation Since there are currently no statistical tools available for network regression for failure time data in TWAS, here we aimed to compare CoNet with the CPNT method, which was intuitively developed under the CoNet framework but replaced PMI with the PM to describe the network edge. First, when the gene expression was predicted based on the DPR model, both methods performed well in detecting the node effect.

Collective behavior of chiral active particles with anisotropic interactions in a confined space
Collective behavior of chiral active particles with anisotropic interactions in a confined space† Ting Lei,a Chaonan Zhao,a Ran Yana and Nanrong Zhao *a Abstract Extensive studies so far have indicated that chirality, anisotropic interactions and spatial confinement play important roles in collective dynamics in active matter systems. However, how the overall interplay of these crucial factors affects the novel phases and macroscopic properties remains less explored.
Distribution, Sources, and Biogeochemistry of Carbon Pools (DIC, DOC, and POC) in the Mangrove-Fringed Zhangjiang Estuary, China
Introduction Increasing carbon emissions from human activities and the resulting global climate change are of concern in both political and scientific communities (Rani et al., 2021). Thus, it is of great significance to explore the potentials of different types of ecosystems for mitigating global warming. As the largest carbon sink in the world, the ocean can absorb one-third of the global CO2 emissions per year, and it is defined as blue carbon (McLeod et al., 2011).
