Unidentified fluorine and TFA dominate the fluorine mass balance in European drinking water

A comprehensive fluorine mass balance analysis of tap water from 34 European cities reveals that while regulated PFAS like PFOA and PFOS are ubiquitous and TFA is the most abundant compound, unidentified extractable fluorine constitutes the majority of the fluorine mass, indicating that current monitoring frameworks significantly underestimate exposure and toxicological risks.

Socioeconomic mixing in urban parks: A complex systems perspective on three Argentine cities

This study employs a complex systems approach and spatial interaction modeling across Argentina's three largest cities to reveal that while most urban parks exhibit lower socioeconomic diversity than their cities, a specific subset of "super-mixer" parks effectively connects diverse groups, particularly fostering dense interactions among middle and lower socioeconomic classes while highlighting the isolation of the highest socioeconomic groups.

Driver Activity Detection and Classification Using Deep Learning- Based YOLO Models for Intelligent Transportation Systems

This study proposes a deep learning framework using YOLO architectures to detect and classify eight driver activities, demonstrating that the YOLOv8n model achieves superior real-time performance with 96.3% mAP on a dataset of 5,422 images, thereby offering an effective solution for enhancing road safety in intelligent transportation systems.

DuTLR-Net: A Deep Unrolled Tensor Low-RankNetwork with Cross-Scale Manifold Alignment forHyperspectral Image Classification

This paper proposes DuTLR-Net, a deep unrolled tensor low-rank network that integrates physical priors via a Cross-Scale Manifold Alignment module and an ADMM-based iterative optimization backbone to achieve superior, interpretable hyperspectral image classification with high spatial-spectral consistency, even in small-sample scenarios.

Cosmological Constraints on Long-Lived Particles Using Dimension-Six Effective Operators

This study investigates cosmological constraints on long-lived particles decaying into dark matter via dimension-six effective operators, analyzing how such decays affect Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and the effective number of neutrino species to delineate the allowed parameter space consistent with observational data.

A Unified Geometric Framework for BPS Flows: Split Attractor, Hessian, and Spectral Networks

This paper establishes a unified geometric framework linking split attractor flows, Hessian flows, and spectral networks to rigorously prove their orthogonality and duality, thereby enabling the systematic reconstruction of BPS spectra across diverse N=2\mathcal{N}=2 theories and yielding new closed-form results for Argyres-Douglas models and tropical disk counts.

Biomechanical Analysis of Dynamic Gripping in Manual Laborers Exhibiting Work-Related Scapholunate Instability Signs

This cross-sectional study of manual laborers in Pakistan reveals that those exhibiting signs of scapholunate instability demonstrate significantly reduced grip force, abnormal wrist ulnar deviation, and compensatory muscle hyperactivation during dynamic gripping, with occupational exposure duration and specific biomechanical loading patterns serving as key predictors of ligament compromise.

A Gravitational Interpretation of Fine-Tuning Reversion

This paper proposes a "gravitational interpretation" of fine-tuning reversion—where the term "gravitational" serves as a geometric/optimization metaphor for a history-induced bias rather than a literal physical dynamical law—arguing that early training establishes dominant behavioral manifolds that exert a geometric pull, causing models to revert toward pre-alignment behaviors during subsequent updates, a phenomenon characterized by a specific history-defined direction (vrevv_{rev}) that can be blocked to prevent safety erosion.
