Summary: This paper examines the changes in the genre of retraction notices and identifies the rhetorical moves that have become more frequent in recent years. The results show that post-2016 retraction notices contain more complex steps, including stating the author's decision and expressing emotions. The genre of retraction notices is influenced by both journal standardization efforts and authors' need for image repair.

Summary: Factors such as firsthand observation of the fire, familiarity with local evacuation protocol, and smartphone ownership are associated with quicker awareness of wildfires. Higher incomes lead to faster awareness, but do not affect departure or preparation times. Longtime residents tend to have longer preparation and departure times.

Summary: Quantifying the response of atmospheric rivers to radiative forcing is challenging due to uncertainties caused by internal climate variability, differences in shared socioeconomic pathways, and methods used in AR detection algorithms. However, this study found that, under both moderate and high emissions scenarios, increases in AR-day frequency emerge from the noise of internal variability by 2060. This signal is robust across different SSPs and time-independent detection criteria.

Summary: The opportunity to know the law is essential for legality, and fair notice is an important factor in ensuring the effectiveness of the law. However, the argument for fair notice faces challenges regarding the congruence between ordinary and legal meaning, as well as the influence of law, morality, and societal expectations on fair notice.

Summary: This study examined the communication strategies used in retraction notices to construct and manage retraction stigma, as well as the differences between notices written by journal authorities and authors of retracted publications. The analysis identified three types of stigma construction strategy and four types of stigma management strategy. The findings showed that retraction notices can both stigmatize and destigmatize, and that authorship-based differences exist in the use of these strategies.

Summary: This article presents a short-notice flood evacuation model that utilizes public transportation to evacuate an uncertain number of people in areas with a high population density. The model aims to minimize the number of vehicles required and their travel times, resulting in more efficient use of resources.

Summary: Evacuation planning is essential for transportation resilience, and understanding transportation systems and human behavior is necessary for safe evacuation. This study estimates populations exposed to harm, clearance times, and fatalities in the event of a catastrophic tsunami, with potential solutions such as new infrastructure and improved detection/alert systems to save lives. Vertical evacuation is found to be the most effective method for saving lives, highlighting the importance of both immediate evacuation measures and long-term transportation improvements.

Summary: This study used a queuing model to evaluate the charging needs and impacts of electric vehicles before mass evacuations, finding that the current charging network capacity is insufficient to meet the demand of all vehicles. Providing early evacuation notices, increasing the number of charging stations, and balancing the types of fast-charging facilities were effective ways to increase the number of EVs receiving adequate charging before departure.

Summary: Platelets cause thrombi to shrink and become stable through a process called clot retraction. The molecular biology of clot retraction is not fully understood, but various substances and physiological conditions can modulate it. This review discusses current literature on clot retraction modulators and the effects of certain herbal compounds and drugs.

Summary: This study develops a generalized framework based on multi-trip electric bus routing models to evaluate the feasibility of using electric buses in short-notice evacuations, analyze their charging behavior, and explore their economic advantages compared to conventional liquefied natural gas buses. The computational results demonstrate that the improved genetic algorithm with recombination strategy outperforms the traditional genetic algorithm in terms of solution quality and convergence speed. Sensitivity analysis reveals that increasing the number of charging stations and electric buses can enhance evacuation efficiency.
