Author-Reviewed Papers

Papers where the original authors have engaged with our plain-language explanation.

For every paper on this page, at least one of the original authors has seen our plain-language explanation and engaged with it — either confirming it reads accurately or requesting corrections that we then applied. An endorsement does not mean the authors formally approve every sentence, but it does mean the explanation has passed the eyes of the people who wrote the paper.

Reducing immunization inequities among zero-dose and under-vaccinated children through catch-up vaccination in Burkina Faso: findings from a mixed-method evaluation of the Big Catch-Up initiative, 2023–2025

A mixed-methods evaluation of Burkina Faso's 2023–2025 Big Catch-Up initiative demonstrates that integrating catch-up vaccination with primary health care services and community engagement successfully reached over 340,000 zero-dose and under-vaccinated children while strengthening routine immunization, despite persistent challenges posed by insecurity and logistical constraints.

AI and the Economy: An Economic Examination of Production, Distribution, Firms, Labor, and Welfare

This paper provides a comprehensive economic analysis of Artificial Intelligence, framing it as a multifaceted phenomenon that acts as capital, synthetic labor, and infrastructure to drive productivity and growth while simultaneously reshaping labor markets, market structures, and societal welfare, ultimately offering policy recommendations to maximize benefits and mitigate adverse consequences.

X-ray Flares in Gamma-Ray Bursts at High and Very-High-Energies

This paper presents a systematic multi-wavelength study of 66 X-ray flares in Gamma-Ray Bursts, finding that their rare GeV counterparts are consistent with standard forward shock afterglows rather than the flares themselves, while synchrotron self-Compton modeling suggests highly magnetized emitting regions and identifies late-time flares as the most promising targets for future very-high-energy observations.

First tomographic measurements of the angular clustering and bias of photometric quasars from S-PLUS

This paper presents the first tomographic measurements of the angular clustering and linear bias of 23,402 photometric quasars from the S-PLUS QuCatS catalog, finding results consistent with previous studies and the Laurent et al. (2017) bias evolution model while validating the photometric redshift calibration of the dataset.

Parasite and host factors associated with malaria parasite liver stage latency

This study identifies the RNA-binding protein PvPUF1 as a key molecular regulator of *Plasmodium vivax* hypnozoite persistence by linking it to a specific RNA motif and the CCR4–NOT deadenylation complex, while also revealing that hypnozoites reside in a distinct, transcriptionally quiescent host microenvironment.

A pp-adic interpolation of the Cogdell lift

This paper establishes a pp-adic interpolation of the classical Cogdell lift by pp-adically interpolating the adjoint Kudla lift, constructing higher-weight cycle analogues on Picard modular surfaces, and utilizing Loeffler's formalism to produce pp-adic analytic cohomology classes whose generating series form a Hida family interpolating these lifts across weight and level variables.

Capability-Mediated Perimeters for Secure AI Agent Tool Execution: Conditional Non-Escalation Invariants and Empirical Evaluation Against Indirect Prompt Injection

This paper introduces Mastyf Guard, a deterministic-first security architecture that treats LLM agents as untrusted principals and enforces conditional non-escalation invariants via an external reference monitor, achieving near-perfect attack detection with zero false positives in empirical evaluations against indirect prompt injection and exfiltration threats.

Primordial features as probes of baryogenesis from supersymmetric flat directions

This paper updates the viable parameter space for Affleck-Dine baryogenesis using recent CMB isocurvature constraints and demonstrates that primordial features in the inflaton sector can uniquely probe this high-energy mechanism by leaving correlated imprints on both curvature and baryon-density isocurvature perturbations.
