Transforming patient outcomes in multiple myeloma through real-time, text-based monitoring of symptoms (Sxs) and quality of life (QoL): Results from the mqol feasibility study Open
Background The dramatic improvement in the survival of multiple myeloma (MM) patients has led to an increased emphasis on their QoL, which unfortunately has been evaluated with tools that are inadequate and outdated. Traditional patient re…

MIDOG 2025: Mitotic Figure Detection with Attention-Guided False Positive Correction Open
We present a novel approach which extends the existing Fully Convolutional One-Stage Object Detector (FCOS) for mitotic figure detection. Our composite model adds a Feedback Attention Ladder CNN (FAL-CNN) model for classification of normal…

‘Ella Says It’s the Secret to the Universe’: How eponymic claims ventriloquially constitute relational authority Open
Contributing to the ‘relational turn’ within organization and management studies, we deepen authority studies’ handling of relationality by utilizing a communication as constitutive of organization lens to advance a novel understanding of …

Back to the Future? A Caution Open
This Counterpoint cautions that future making research treats the future too simplistically and fails to acknowledge the fundamental uncertainty inherent in all futures work. First, future making scholarship overlooks existing academic res…

The geometry of totally geodesic subvarieties of moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces Open
We prove a semisimplicity result for the boundary, in the corresponding Deligne-Mumford compactification, of a totally geodesic subvariety of a moduli space of Riemann surfaces. At the level of Teichmüller space, this semisimplicity theore…

Spheres in the curve graph and linear connectivity of the Gromov boundary Open
We consider the curve graph in the cases where it is not a Farey graph, and show that its Gromov boundary is linearly connected. For a fixed center point and radius , we define the sphere of radius to be the induced subgraph on the set o…

The asymmetry of Thurston’s earthquakeflow Open
We show that Thurston's earthquake flow is strongly asymmetric in the sense that its normalizer is as small as possible inside the group of orbifold automorphisms of the bundle of measured geodesic laminations over moduli space.(At the lev…

Spheres in the curve graph and linear connectivity of the Gromov boundary Open
We consider the curve graph in the cases where it is not a Farey graph, and show that its Gromov boundary is linearly connected. For a fixed center point c and radius r, we define the sphere of radius r to be the induced subgraph on the se…

An optical and acoustic investigation of microbubble cavitation in small channels under therapeutic ultrasound conditions Open
Therapeutic focused ultrasound in combination with encapsulated microbubbles is being widely investigated for its ability to elicit bioeffects in the microvasculature, such as transient permeabilization for drug delivery or at higher press…

I, strategist Open
An autoethnography is offered of a head of an academic department and middle manager writing a strategic plan he did not believe was necessary or would have any beneficial effects on colleagues within the department. The notion of the relu…

The Digital Evolution of Highway Infrastructure Asset Management Open
The last decade has seen a very gradual change at a local network level in the methods used to collect data from Highways Infrastructure Assets, how to manage and operate Assets, a change in the way those Assets are used, and the way they …

Hodge and Teichmüller Open
We consider the derivative of the projection from a stratum of Abelian or quadratic differentials to Teichmüller space. A closed one-form determines a relative cohomology class , which is a tangent vector to the stratum. We give an inte…

Determining Risk Factors That Affect Progression in Patients with Nonproliferative Diabetic Retinopathy Open
Purpose. To determine risk factors that affect nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) progression and establish a predictive model to estimate the probability of and time to progression in NPDR. Patients and Methods. Charts of diabet…

Marked points on translation surfaces Open
We show that all GL(2,R) equivariant point markings over orbit closures of translation surfaces arise from branched covering constructions and periodic points, completely classify such point markings over strata of quadratic differentials,…

From ‘Pretty’ to ‘Pretty Powerful’: The communicatively constituted power of facial beauty’s performativity Open
The face is a significant locus of power upon which judgements concerning a person’s status, worth and attractiveness are made. This study contributes to knowledge of facial norms’ shifting performative power in daily organizing, theorizin…

Nearly Fuchsian surface subgroups of finite covolume Kleinian groups Open
Let Gamma < PSL_2(C) be discrete, cofinite volume, and noncocompact. We prove that for all K > 1, there is a subgroup H < Gamma that is K-quasiconformally conjugate to a discrete cocompact subgroup of PSL_2(R). Along with previous work of …
