Inward and Outward Spillover Effects of One Unit's Treatment on Network Neighbors under Partial Interference
In settings where interference is present, direct effects are commonly defined as the average effect of a unit's treatment on their own outcome while fixing the treatment status or probability among interfering units, and spillover effects measure the average effect of a change in the latter while the individual's treatment status is kept fixed. Here, we define the average causal effect of a unit's treatment status on the outcome of their network neighbors, while fixing the treatment probabilit…

Studies done with this stuff " have lead to major breakthroughs, including links between cigarettes and cardiovascular disease and alcohol consumption and breast cancer. The research also uncovered the dangers of trans fats, which the U.S. has now largely restricted."

A Narrative Review on Large AI Models in Lung Cancer Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment Planning
Lung cancer remains one of the most prevalent and fatal diseases worldwide, demanding accurate and timely diagnosis and treatment. Recent advancements in large AI models have significantly enhanced medical image understanding and clinical decision-making. This review systematically surveys the state-of-the-art in applying large AI models to lung cancer screening, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. We categorize existing models into modality-specific encoders, encoder-decoder frameworks, and j…

Removal of spallation-induced tritium from silicon through diffusion
Tritium, predominantly produced through spallation reactions caused by cosmic ray interactions, is a significant radioactive background for silicon-based rare event detection experiments, such as dark matter searches. We have investigated the feasibility of removing cosmogenic tritium from high-purity silicon intended for use in low-background experiments. We demonstrate that significant tritium removal is possible through diffusion by subjecting silicon to high-temperature (> 400C) baking. Usi…

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Threatens Mobilization of Active-Duty Marines Against Protesters in Los Angeles

Such language is unprecedented in response to immigration protests.
The escalation comes just three days after the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre,
when Chinese troops crushed a pro-democracy movement with tanks and live ammunition
—a grim reminder of what can happen when a government turns its military on its own people.

Integrating tumor burden with survival outcome for treatment effect evaluation in oncology trials
In early-phase cancer clinical trials, the limited availability of data presents significant challenges in developing a framework to efficiently quantify treatment effectiveness. To address this, we propose a novel utility-based Bayesian approach for assessing treatment effects in these trials, where data scarcity is a major concern. Our approach synthesizes tumor burden, a key biomarker for evaluating patient response to oncology treatments, and survival outcome, a widely used endpoint for ass…
