Skydiving to bootstrap islands
Published November 2025 | Version Published Journal Article Open We study families of semidefinite programs (SDPs) that depend nonlinearly on a small number of "external" parameters. Such families appear universally in numerical bootstrap computations. The traditional method for finding an optimal point in parameter space works by first solving an SDP with fixed external parameters, then moving to a new point in parameter space and repeating the process.
Nutrient flows and biogeomorphic feedbacks: linking seabird guano to plant traits and morphological change on sandy islands
Research article | Highlight paper | 26 Feb 2026 Research article | Highlight paper | | 26 Feb 2026 Floris F. van Rees et al. Editorial statement Seabird guano is a vital nutrient source that drives "biogeomorphic feedbacks," shifting plant communities toward sediment-stabilizing species that physically reshape coastal landscapes. Van Rees and others demonstrate that guano-derived nitrogen enhances vegetation productivity and sediment retention, particularly in nutrient-poor sandy environments.
Treatment of Colorectal Lung Metastases: Two Centers Retrospective Study
Introduction: Clear guidelines for colorectal lung metastasis (LM) treatment are not available. This study aimed to provide insight into the treatment strategies and efficacy of local and systemic therapy in patients with LM eligible for (potentially) curative treatment. Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients with ≤5 LM discussed in two tertiary referral centers. Patient and tumor characteristics were compared between treatment groups.
Hawaiian gallinule vital rate data from O'ahu and Kaua'i: Reproduction and survival data from an endangered bird
Published June 10, 2024 | Version v1 Dataset Open Where stable source populations of at-risk species exist, translocation may be a reasonable strategy for re-establishing extirpated populations. However, the success rates of such efforts are mixed, necessitating thorough preliminary investigation. Stochastic population modeling can be a useful method of assessing the potential success of translocations.
Can we use a simple blood test to reduce unnecessary adverse effects from radiotherapy by timely identification of radiotherapy-resistant rectal cancers? MeD-Seq rectal study protocol | BMC Cancer | Full Text
Methods Primary Objective: To investigate whether we can predict pathological response to preoperative CRT by DNA methylation profiling in liquid biopsies. This study is still exploratory and will not have clinical consequences on the included patients of this study. The short term aim for this study is to find DNA methylation patterns in liquid biopsies to predict pathological response to CRT.

Empty pelvis syndrome: PelvEx Collaborative guideline proposal
Empty pelvis syndrome is a complex challenge resulting from the dead space generated by exenteration. A systematic review of reconstructive techniques to prevent empty pelvis syndrome cited inconsistent definitions and heterogeneous outcome reporting, and was therefore unable to make strong conclusions in favour of a particular strategy1. The severity of complications escalates with more radical surgery as boundaries are pushed2,3.
Locally recurrent rectal cancer: oncological outcomes of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy with or without induction chemotherapy
Achieving a clear surgical resection margin (R0 resection) is one of the most important prognostic factors determining survival after surgical resection of locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC)1. In radiotherapy-naive patients, the most common approach to facilitating an R0 resection is to administer long-course neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy2. However, many patients with LRRC have undergone chemoradiotherapy previously for the primary tumour.

Treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer and synchronous liver metastases: multicentre comparison of two treatment strategies
Management of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) has been optimized during recent times through (beyond) total mesorectal excision surgery and, more recently, the introduction of total neoadjuvant treatment (TNT)1–4. For patients with synchronous liver metastases, the optimal treatment strategy is less clear, with high variability among institutions worldwide5.

Mutation-specific reporter for optimization and enrichment of prime editing - Nature Communications
Abstract Prime editing is a versatile genome-editing technique that shows great promise for the generation and repair of patient mutations. However, some genomic sites are difficult to edit and optimal design of prime-editing tools remains elusive. Here we present a fluorescent prime editing and enrichment reporter (fluoPEER), which can be tailored to any genomic target site.
Designing Soft Robots as Robotic Materials
Note Made available for a limited time for personal research and study only License. Introduction The differences between built and biological machines are innumerable. For example, robots struggle to adapt to and engage with real-world environments, whereas living organisms effortlessly do so. Unlike the multifunctional behaviors of living organisms, robots’ capabilities possess limited versatility.
