Author-Reviewed Papers

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.

Spacetime Emergence from Flux-Tube Connectivity: A Flux-First Framework, Renormalization-Group Analysis, String-Theoretic Embedding, and First Numerical Tests

This paper proposes a "flux-first" framework where classical spacetime, gravity, and black hole thermodynamics emerge from the coarse-grained connectivity of a quantized flux-tube network, demonstrating through renormalization-group analysis, string-theoretic embedding, and numerical Monte Carlo tests that this approach naturally yields an induced Einstein–Hilbert action, the Bekenstein–Hawking area law, and a resolution of the gravity–QCD hierarchy.

Reimagining youth-responsive TB care: Voices and visions from adolescents and young adults who completed TB treatment in Nairobi, Kenya

This participatory qualitative study in Nairobi, Kenya, engaged adolescents and young adults who completed TB treatment alongside stakeholders to co-create youth-responsive service improvements, revealing that while social support and diagnosis were pivotal, significant barriers like diagnostic delays and stigma necessitate practical adaptations such as flexible clinic hours, enhanced privacy, and peer support.

Marine Heatwave-Induced Stratification Promoted Subsurface Heat Storage and Supported the Rapid Intensification of Tropical Cyclone Winston

This study reveals that a marine heatwave-induced shallow mixed layer and enhanced stratification during Tropical Cyclone Winston (2016) facilitated the accumulation of subsurface heat, which was subsequently entrained by storm-induced mixing to sustain elevated energy fluxes and drive the cyclone's rapid intensification.

Smart MEMS Sensors for Real-Time Anesthesia Monitoring and Overdose Detection

This paper proposes and evaluates a conceptual MEMS-enabled framework that utilizes a subset of EEG-derived features from a large dataset to develop the Smart MEMS Sedation Monitoring and Risk Index (SMORI), a unified metric for real-time anesthesia monitoring and overdose risk assessment.

Mechanism-Dependent Scaling in Porous Materials

This paper proposes a mechanism-dependent framework for porous materials, identifying that the ratio of mechanical to transport density-scaling exponents is typically near two in bending- or stability-dominated systems where transport is connectivity-controlled, while acknowledging deviations in stretching-dominated or anisotropic architectures.

$\Delta$ as a Dynamical Order Parameter for Non-Abelian Synchronization:\ the Case of $SU(2)$

This paper introduces and validates a scalar order parameter $\Delta$ that quantifies the splitting between Lyapunov branches in non-Abelian oscillator networks, demonstrating its utility as a robust measure of non-Abelian synchronization effects in $SU(2)$ systems even under non-Hermitian perturbations.

Detecting regional deep-ocean steric changes remains challenging with sea level budget analyses

This study evaluates the use of satellite altimetry, gravimetry, and Argo data to infer deep-ocean steric changes as a residual in sea level budgets, finding that robust regional detection remains challenging due to the method's lack of validation against long-term observations and the dominance of non-oceanographic gravity signals in certain regions like the Northeast Atlantic.

Does Exchange Rate Misalignment Increase Income Inequality? Panel Evidence from Advanced and Developing Economies

Using panel data from 100 economies spanning 1995 to 2025, this study finds that real effective exchange rate overvaluation significantly increases income inequality, particularly when misalignment exceeds an 8.7% threshold and in economies with already high income concentration.
