Summary: Retail has responded to consumer preferences for ephemerality and immediacy with pop-up stores, which are temporary, experiential store formats. Research shows that the ephemeral nature of pop-ups leads consumers to anticipate limited product assortments, increasing their intention to visit.

Summary: The high-x data from the ZEUS Collaboration are utilized to extract parton density distributions of the proton in the perturbative regime of QCD. The focus is primarily on the up-quark valence distribution and new findings are presented regarding its x dependence and momentum. Bayesian analysis methods were employed for obtaining the results, which can be considered as a model for future parton density extractions.

Summary: The study indicates that the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry could remain unbroken during inflation, even when the axion decay constant, fa, is much higher than the inflationary Hubble scale, HI. This is achieved through the heavy lifting of the PQ scalar field due to its nonrenormalizable interaction with the inflaton, encoded in a high-dimensional operator. This mechanism opens up new possibilities for the postinflationary QCD axion and significantly enlarges the parameter space, allowing for high-scale inflation and avoiding constraints on axion isocurvature perturbations.

Summary: This study aims to explore the definition of career success in academic surgery. The traditional markers of success, such as specific titles, are seen as a double-edged sword by academic surgeons. While titles are valued as a marker of success and a means to achieving other goals, there is a need for a more inclusive definition of academic success.

Summary: The concept of consciousness refers to the subjective experience of self-awareness and awareness of psychological contents, while cognitive neuroscience challenges the traditional view that consciousness influences behavior and psychological content. A scientific approach should consider consciousness as a product of underlying biological changes.

Summary: MYC is a validated oncogenic transcription factor and cancer target, with the novel MYCi representing an improved class of chemical probes that directly bind to MYC to inhibit its function and promote its degradation. These new MYCi have shown remarkable tolerability and efficacy in inhibiting MYC target gene expression, with potential effects on the tumor immune microenvironment.

Summary: Cultivating specific microalgae in an industrial setting is challenging due to contamination and economic cost considerations. Understanding the ecology of microalgae cultivation is necessary for stable production. Results show that a closed photobioreactor configuration is essential for maintaining a specific microalgae inoculum, while other systems develop a different eukaryotic community due to contamination and higher fitness of contaminants.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between snow cover and alpine vegetation growth on the Tibetan Plateau. The results showed that changes in snow cover phenology have a significant impact on vegetation green-up dates, with delays or extensions in snow cover onset, end, duration, and snowmelt having different effects on different vegetation types. The study also highlighted the importance of environmental factors in modulating the relationship between snow cover and vegetation growth.
