Advancing Digital Government: Integrating Open Source Software Enablement Indicators in Maturity Indexes

arXiv:2510.04603v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Context: Open Source Software (OSS) is a vital public good, included across most of modern software stacks, significantly impacting GDP and national tech growth, while supporting interoperability, sovereignty, and transparency. However, systematic measurement of governmental OSS adoption remain limited. Research Aim: This study contributes to digital government maturity indexes by analyzing policies and support actions leveraging OSS for...

Efficient Transformer-Based Localized Patch Sampling for Choroid Plexus Segmentation in Multiple Sclerosis

Announce Type: new Abstract: Background: The lateral ventricle choroid plexus (LVCP) is gaining recognition as a key imaging biomarker for multiple sclerosis (MS) related to physical disability and neuroinflammation. Yet, manual segmentation of the LVCP is highly tedious, restricting its use in broad clinical trials and longitudinal assessments. This research aims to develop a SwinUNETR-driven pipeline that leverages targeted intra- and peri-ventricular small patch sampling to automatically...

CRAFTQA: A Code-Driven Adaptive Framework for Complex Structured Data Reasoning

arXiv:2606.02170v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-world scenarios involve massive heterogeneous structured data (e.g., tables, knowledge graphs), making effective reasoning over such diverse data increasingly important. Unified structured data question answering has emerged as a prominent research trend, aiming to answer natural language questions across different structured data types within a single framework. However, existing unified methods share a common limitation: they rely on a...

Popular summer destination ravaged by Lyme disease bets on radical new solution

Lyme disease has plagued Nantucket for decades, affecting residents and raising concerns for visitors exploring the island's beaches, trails and conservation land. Researchers are now exploring whether mice could help slow the spread of the disease. The project, known as Mice Against Ticks, is a collaboration involving researchers from MIT that aims to reduce Lyme disease by interrupting the cycle that allows ticks to become infected.

Modeling the Gulf: A researcher's quest to map every current, particle and tide

The article discusses the complexity of understanding water movement in real-world marine environments, which is crucial for various fields of study. The researcher aims to map every current, particle, and tide to gain a deeper understanding of these dynamics. The article highlights the challenges posed by weather, seasons, and geography in achieving this goal.

UK scientists developing Ebola vaccine that could be ready for trials in months

UK scientists are developing a new vaccine against the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola, a rare and highly lethal virus. This strain currently has no proven vaccine, and the research aims to have the vaccine ready for clinical trials within months.

What’s the secret to getting the perfect amount of sleep? Don’t worry about it! | Emma Beddington

Research out this month says you should aim for between 6.4 and 7.8 hours a night. But if you’re getting that granular about shut-eye, you’re overthinking itHow did you sleep last night? Did your smartring congratulate you on 8.5 sleepmaxxed hours in a cool, blackout-dark room after two hours’ withdrawal from blue light and “devices” and 480ml (per this month’s Vogue) of tart cherry juice?
