The mechanical properties of DNA molecules are crucial for many biological processes, from DNA packaging to transcription. While the mechanics of long DNA typically follow the worm-like chain polymer model, multiple studies have shown that ...
Reduced incidence of arrest following an extreme risk protection order among respondents in California [0.03%]
加州受试者因极端风险保护令导致拘捕事件减少

Extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs) are used to disarm individuals making threats of interpersonal harm, but little is known about respondents' pre- and postorder criminal behavior. We sought to quantify ERPO respondents' rate of arrest ...

This article estimates the effect of sex education in a large-scale cluster randomized trial covering a third of Botswana that varied both the message and the messenger. Educational messages delivered by near-peers led to a statistically si...

Multilevel selection has important implications for understanding the origin, ecology, and evolution of host-associated microbiomes. Selection on the host-level can have a substantial impact on the evolution of microbial lineages, favoring ...
Improving sampling efficacy on high-dimensional distributions with thin high-density regions using Conservative Hamiltonian Monte Carlo [0.03%]
