Learning Calibrated and Transferable Node-Level Infection Risk in Stochastic Epidemics on Complex Networks

This paper demonstrates that a parameter-conditioned graph neural network can learn calibrated, transferable node-level infection risk across diverse network topologies to effectively guide targeted interventions, although its performance is limited by significant structural heterogeneity in unseen graphs.

Phase-Anchored Gaussian Decomposition of Bilateral In-Shoe Plantar Loading During the Volleyball Spike Jump

This study utilized phase-anchored Gaussian decomposition to characterize bilateral in-shoe plantar loading during the volleyball spike jump's final plant phase, finding that while a double-Gaussian model effectively represented the loading waveforms, no significant associations were identified between these derived features and performance or kinematic outcomes.

An Analytical Feasibility Boundary Reveals A Near-Threshold Identifiability Limit for Externally Transmitted Confinement in Closed Mitosis

This paper establishes an analytical feasibility boundary demonstrating that while externally imposed confinement can theoretically influence closed mitosis, the extreme sensitivity of the resulting pressure thresholds to spindle-force calibration and load transmission parameters renders specific numerical predictions unreliable, thereby identifying a critical identifiability limit that necessitates precise experimental measurement of these quantities before confinement can be quantitatively assigned a biological role.

Structural Limits and Observable Benchmarks for Ganzfeld-tACS Computational Modeling: A Preregistered Boundary-Setting Study

This preregistered study demonstrates that while individual kinetic parameter recovery from Ganzfeld-tACS EEG using Jansen–Rit models is practically unfeasible under Welch PSD, hybrid models incorporating explicit aperiodic terms significantly outperform null baselines, revealing that current data supports observation-layer generator modeling rather than physiological profiling and highlighting that specific datasets like ds004902 are unsuitable Ganzfeld proxies.
