Summary: A fault management system with distributed architecture may enhance scalability, but also make application recovery dependent on the system itself. This study introduces two new equations to meet performance objectives and suggests that the interconnection topology and parameter values of management architecture could have a significant impact on application's performance. Additionally, simulation results show that simply increasing the number of managers may not always be beneficial.

Summary: The failure of remyelination in multiple sclerosis (MS) is often characterized by low oligodendrocyte progenitor cell density. Stimulating this process may be crucial for achieving myelin regeneration.

Summary: This paper focuses on neighbor discovery of duty-cycled mobile devices in group settings. Two deterministic neighbor discovery schemes are proposed and shown to achieve effective duty cycles close to the ideal duty cycle. Experimental results demonstrate the lightweight implementation and improved performance of the proposed schemes.

Summary: This study explores the arrangement of multiple metal centers in artificial metalloproteins and the development of bioinorganic catalysts and materials. It demonstrates the selective grafting and modulation of diverse inorganic moieties in protein environments, offering a bottom-up approach in designing versatile and efficient biocatalysts and biomimetic model systems.

Summary: Swipe-based dating apps provide quantitative social feedback, and studies have shown a link between dating app success and well-being. However, the nature of this correlation has not been explored. In an experiment with 125 undergraduate women, the chance of matches had no effect on loneliness or fear of being single. However, a higher chance of matches led to higher partner choice overload. Additionally, women who accepted seven or more profiles reported higher loneliness in the low chance of matches condition. This suggests that matches may be rewarding for women with a high approach orientation. Manipulating social feedback in a dating app paradigm can be a suitable method to study the effects of social acceptance and ostracism.

Summary: Tighter fuel economy standards were implemented in the EU in 2020, leading to a rebound effect where people drive more due to reduced usage cost. The debate on preventing this rebound and the welfare implications is ongoing, with limited economic analysis available. To address this gap, the direct rebound for private vehicles in Switzerland is estimated to be between 30% and 40%. The utility surplus from extra kilometers is found to be 7 cents per kilometer on average for households, which is half the external costs of driving in Switzerland (15 cents per km). This supports rebound mitigation through internalizing external costs with a distance-based tax.

Summary: This study examines the impact of the breadth of innovation objectives and cooperation on innovation performance. The findings suggest that firms with broader innovation objectives and greater cooperation experience higher innovation performance, but there are optimal levels for both breadth of objectives and cooperation.

Summary: This paper examines how diversity among lead partner teams of private equity funds affects buyout performance. The results show that diversity in socio-demographic aspects has a positive impact on deal returns, while diversity in occupational aspects has a negative impact. Additionally, the importance of diversity is relatively higher in complex buyouts and uncertain deal environments.

Summary: Several emerging biomarkers in predictive molecular oncology have gained interest in precision medicine. However, crucial issues related to diagnosis and therapy need to be addressed in the tissue-agnostic model. This review critically examines the role of tissue-agnostic biomarkers in solid tumors and highlights the challenges in detection and drug approval.

Summary: Hydrogen is seen as a promising solution for decarbonization but is still a niche technology in Germany. The public discourse on hydrogen has evolved in connection with key milestones, such as the initiation of the Gas 2030 Dialogue and the publication of the National Hydrogen Strategy. Despite potentially polarizing issues, there was no discourse polarization observed.

Summary: Government R&D subsidies have mixed impacts on innovation performance of firms, with high government resource dependency diverting attention resources and resulting in declining innovation performance. However, technology alliances and employee feedback systems can mitigate these negative effects.

Summary: The study finds that exporting firms tend to have better environmental performance, but increasing export intensity does not necessarily lead to better environmental outcomes. It is shown that firms with higher export intensity have lower pollution emissions due to smaller output scale and lower energy intensity. Additionally, a slight increase in export intensity can improve firms' environmental performance by improving energy efficiency. The study provides important insights into the relationship between export intensity and environmental performance.

Summary: Ground shaking induced by earthquakes can cause transient changes in seismic velocity, which are important for post-seismic hazard mitigation. However, these changes occur at small timescales and amplitudes that are challenging to link to laboratory experiments. This study investigates whether the estimation of relative seismic velocity changes can be improved using colocated stations according to the ergodic hypothesis.

Summary: The study found that people tend to choose more commonly used fictitious treatments over more effective ones when making treatment decisions, possibly due to the perception that popular treatments are more effective. Providing information about the rate of recovery significantly influences decision-making, indicating that effectiveness ratings should be interpreted with caution.

Summary: Ecological assembly is a fundamental process that is not well understood. By analyzing assembly graphs, one can better understand the competition and combination patterns of different species during evolution. This can advance our understanding of ecological organization and help inform ecological restoration and community design.

Summary: By extending the classic Levins metapopulation model, researchers found that in a new setting, populations of organisms colonize patches connected by dispersal and retain memory of the previous occupant after local extinction, modeling habitat modification. Their study suggests that patch memory facilitates coexistence of multiple species and may lead to a positive relationship between diversity and robustness.

Summary: Plant-soil feedbacks are a key mechanism in generating frequency-dependent dynamics in plant communities. However, current research mainly focuses on studying only two plant species, and we lack a clear theoretical understanding of how these complex interactions play out in communities with natural levels of diversity. Surprisingly, it is found that coexistence of more than two species is virtually impossible, suggesting the need for alternative theoretical frameworks to describe feedbacks observed in diverse natural communities.

Summary: Managing ecological communities requires detecting species sensitive to perturbations quickly. This study introduces two data-driven approaches based on the time-varying Jacobian matrix to rank species over time according to their sensitivity to perturbations on abundances. The research demonstrates that the most sensitive species may not have the most rapidly changing or lowest abundance, and these sensitive species are harder to forecast. The results suggest that considering information on species interactions can improve the management of communities out of equilibrium.
