The overall commodity index remained operating at a high range with intensified long and short market… Read more: Geopolitical Volatility and Supply-demand Divergence Drive Turbulent Commodity Market Trends

Information design courses require students to integrate information selection, structural organization, visual expression, user understanding, and project implementation. However, traditional design teaching often emphasizes final visual outcomes while giving insufficient attention to information hierarchy, project-process management, and iterative feedback. This study developed and implemented a bridge-in, objective, pre-assessment, participatory learning, post-assessment, summary (BOPPPS) – conceive, design, implement, operate (CDIO)… Read more: Applying the BOPPPS-CDIO Instructional Framework in an Information Design Course: A Local Cultural Information Visualization Project

Background: Lower-grade gliomas (LGG) are associated with inevitable progression and poor outcomes. Kinesin family member 11 (KIF11), a motor protein driving mitotic spindle formation, is overexpressed in various cancers, yet its comprehensive prognostic and immunological significance in LGG has not been systematically evaluated. Methods: Transcriptomic data from 522 LGG samples (TCGA) and 1,152 normal brain samples (GTEx) were analyzed.… Read more: KIF11 as a Potential Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarker for Lower-grade Glioma

Background: The computational identification of drug-target interaction (DTI) is pivotal in drug discovery and chemical genomics. Current network-based approaches model DTI as a link prediction problem utilizing bipartite graphs. However, simplistic representations fail to encapsulate crucial biological semantic information, and how to effectively integrate molecular structure features with graph neural networks has emerged as a non-negligible challenge in the… Read more: DCDTI: Dual-Channel Neural Network for Drug-Target Interaction Prediction

May 26th saw the LVK Collaboration, a joint team of the U.S. Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), Italy’s Virgo Gravitational Wave Detector and Japan’s Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector (KAGRA), release the fifth edition of their Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog, known as GWTC-5, online. The catalog records 161 new gravitational wave signals generated by black hole mergers, captured by LVK between… Read more: Gravitational Wave Catalog Expands: Three Major Findings Unlock Black Hole Mysteries

The overuse of antibiotics in intensive aquaculture has led to the continuous enrichment and dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in aquatic environments, posing risks to public health. In recent years, the extensive application of disinfectants – including chlorine-based compounds, hydrogen peroxide, guanidines, and metal-based nanomaterials – and their subsequent environmental residues have raised concern. However, their impact on… Read more: Comprehensive Analysis of the Impacts and Potential Risks of Disinfectant Use on the Transfer of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Aquaculture

Building Information Modeling (BIM) underpins digital management across the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector, yet parametric model creation remains a largely manual process. Practitioners must define component parameters, configure family properties, and specify constraint relationships within commercial BIM platforms – a workflow that is time-consuming and demands specialized expertise. This paper explores a method that uses large language… Read more: Exploring Large Language Model-driven Automated Generation of BIM Parametric Designs
