Measuring Resilience among Students populations Engaged in a Culturally Adapted Digital Intervention

This study validates the Arabic CD-RISC-10 as a reliable and invariant measure of resilience across Jordanian school and university students, demonstrating that a culturally adapted digital intervention significantly enhances resilience among university students but not adolescents, thereby highlighting the need for developmentally tailored mental health strategies.

How a Laser Heats up: Operando Spatio-temporal Heat Dynamics Mapping in Group-IV Lasers

This study utilizes operando X-ray microscopy and simulations to reveal that contact-mediated Joule heating, rather than heat generation in the gain medium, is the dominant thermal bottleneck in electrically driven Group-IV microdisk lasers, establishing contact engineering as the key to improving device performance.

Systemic Concentrations of Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein, Neo-Epitope of MMP-derived Type III Collagen fragment, and Propeptide of Type IV Collagen are Greater in Those at Risk of Post-Traumatic Osteoarthritis in Comparison to Matched Controls

This study demonstrates that young adults with a history of intra-articular knee injury exhibit significantly higher systemic levels of specific extracellular matrix biomarkers compared to matched controls, suggesting that a multivariate panel of these markers could effectively identify individuals at risk for post-traumatic osteoarthritis.

Structural and Morphological Characterization of Tussar and Bivoltine Silk Fibers

This study employs X-ray diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, and Scanning Electron Microscopy to demonstrate that bivoltine silk fibers exhibit higher crystallinity and sharper β\beta-sheet structures compared to the lower crystallinity and broader peaks found in Tussar silk fibers due to differences in their chemical composition and molecular organization.

Ultra Compact Spaceborne Computational Single Photon 3D Imaging Based on Temporal Coding and Co-aperture Active-Passive Fusion

This paper presents the in-orbit demonstration of an ultra-compact, multi-beam single-photon LiDAR system that integrates computational temporal coding with co-aperture active-passive fusion to achieve high-resolution, all-weather 3D Earth observation on a micro-satellite platform while overcoming traditional size, weight, power, and noise constraints.
