Summary: Gender is an important aspect of personal identity, and gendered brand personality enables consumers to express their gender identity. The congruence between brand gender and psychological gender increases brand equity and purchase intention, driven by consumer self-referencing.

Summary: This research demonstrates through a series of experiments that the depression of freezing temperature in water is highly correlated with the water-solid interfacial areas, suggesting the dominant role of heterogeneous nucleation as the physical origin. On the other hand, the depression of melting temperature is influenced by pore diameter and is significantly lower than that of freezing. These findings address the controversy surrounding the freezing mechanism of water in millimeter-sized pores and have important implications for the manipulation of freezing and melting behaviors in various engineering applications.

Summary: Schizophrenia research has largely ignored transgender and gender-nonconforming populations, resulting in limited understanding of their risk for the disorder. This review emphasizes the need for inclusion and discusses potential factors contributing to the elevated risk. Strategies for making research more inclusive are also offered.

Summary: Recent research challenges the binary conceptualization of sex and brain relations, suggesting that human brains are comprised of mosaics of female-typical and male-typical features. Sex only explains a small part of the variability in human brain structure, leading to a non-binary framework that may have implications for research on sex-related variables.

Summary: The parametrized post-Einsteinian framework modifies inspiral waveform models to include effects beyond general relativity (GR). The existing model is extended to the merger-ringdown regime. The introduced modification adds a single degree of freedom, corresponding to a change in the binary coalescence time, while other merger properties remain as predicted by GR. We discuss parameter estimation with this model and how it can extract information from beyond-GR waveforms.

Summary: In this study, a method for generating MLFFs with beyond DFT accuracy using efficient on-the-fly active learning and Delta machine learning is presented. By training on the random phase approximation, the expensive calculations can be performed on a small number of representative structures, reducing computational cost and enabling MLFFs capable of reproducing high-level quantum mechanical calculations beyond DFT. Successful application in studying the phase transitions of zirconia is demonstrated.

Summary: The condensation mechanism of alkanes plays a crucial role in improving the liquefaction efficiency of natural gas. This study investigates the homogeneous and heterogeneous condensation characteristics of methane and examines the influence of n-hexane molecules. The results demonstrate that n-hexane can greatly enhance the nucleation rate and liquefaction ratio of methane.

Summary: We investigate different scenarios of interaction between two beyond-band discrete solitons (BBDSs) in binary waveguide arrays. It is found that in the quasi-continuous regime, BBDSs interact like fundamental solitons. However, at high intensities, the discrete nature of the system affects the interaction, preventing periodic collisions between initially in-phase BBDSs.

Summary: The study introduced the original concept of SDMC for dispersing a target material in a matrix, and investigated the effects of cooling, agitation, and aeration on dissolution rate. The experimental results showed that these operations enhanced the dissolution rate by increasing the nucleation rate based on the SDMC concept.

Summary: This paper studies fair allocation of indivisible goods with different types of valuation functions, including submodular, fractionally subadditive, and subadditive valuations. Constant approximation guarantees are provided for agents with submodular and XOS valuations, and a logarithmic bound for agents with subadditive valuations. Close upper bounds for each class of valuation functions are also presented, along with algorithms to find such allocations for submodular and XOS settings in polynomial time.

Summary: Computing technologies are currently based on binary logic/number system, but there is a strong push to move towards a higher radix logic/number system to overcome the limitations of binary system as data processing needs increase. This push is motivated by anticipated saturation of Moore's law and the necessity to increase information density and processing speed in future micro and nanoelectronic circuits and systems.

Summary: The study examines spinodal decomposition in a near-critical binary fluid under experimental conditions where the liquid is quenched abruptly by changing pressure with subsequent adiabatic phase separation. It is shown that the nonequilibrium decomposition process can be approximated as one of constant entropy, with adiabatic effects accounting for discrepancies between experiments and previous theory. Equilibrium static critical properties of the isothermal theory are also examined to justify approximations in the current theory.
