Proximity labeling (PL) enables covalent capture of biomolecules near a defined target in living systems, providing a route to map molecular proximity in situ. Conventional PL usually relies on a single targeting cue and may therefore lack the select...
Buildings are an integral part of our physical environment and have aesthetic significance with respect to the organizational integrity of architectural elements. While Gestalt principles are essential in design education, their relationship with arc...
Allocating fish quota is a hotly disputed issue across the world, and many different criteria have been employed to achieve it. However, little attention has been devoted to examining the fairness of those criteria. This study aims to fill this gap b...
Soil and water pollution caused by excessive use of fertilizers and resource scarcity are critical issues in modern horticulture. Although laboratory tests are reliable, they take time and use chemical reagents that must be disposed of and complex pr...
This paper argues for proximity between the two branches of a jurisprudential–adjudicative genre: manuals for judges or the etiquette for the judgeship. I wish to demonstrate that the proximity, lexicography, ways and tools of argument, etc., a...
Based on the concepts of contractive conditions due to Suzuki (Suzuki, T., A generalized Banach contraction principle that characterizes metric completeness, Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 2008, 136, 1861–1869) and Jleli (Jle...
Soil is a heterogeneous medium that exhibits considerable variability in both spatial and temporal dimensions. Proper management of field variability using variable-rate fertilization (VRF) techniques is essential to maximize crop input–output...
The 15-minute-city concept represents an increasingly popular urban policymaking and planning paradigm that seeks to shift attention to the neighborhood as a “place” rather merely a spatial and functional planning unit. The core premise o...
The proximity of urban green spaces to residential areas has become a central principle in contemporary urban planning, with cities worldwide adopting “15-minute city” concepts that prioritize walking-distance access to parks. This study...
Social distancing and contact/exposure tracing are accepted to be critical strategies in the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic. They are both closely connected to the ability to reliably establish the degree of proximity between people in real-worl...
As proximity-aware services among devices such as sensors, IoT devices, and user equipment are expected to facilitate a wide range of new applications in the beyond 5G and 6G era, managing heterogeneous environments with diverse node capabilities bec...

The Danish healthcare system has transitioned from a decentralised municipal hospital model to a centralised structure dominated by large, specialised hospitals. While this shift has improved efficiency and healthcare quality in some respects, it has...
This paper investigates the integration of proximity theory (PT) into the management of public transport service disruptions within sustainable Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) systems, an area that is largely underexplored. PT provides a multidimensiona...
Cell surface receptors are pivotal to cancer cell transformation, disease progression, metastasis, early detection, targeted therapy, drug responses, and clinical outcomes. Since they coordinate complex signaling communication networks in the tumor m...
The currently accepted interval of weekly cast changes in the treatment of clubfeet seems unsubstantiated. A force sensor is needed to determine the adaptation rate of a clubfoot to establish what cast change interval would be most effective and effi...
The proximity television model adopted by Castilla y León since 1999 is based on promoting territorial identity and closeness to citizens, in line with the principles of identity and proximity in regional television, albeit with the particular...
The current understanding of organic matter enrichment in marine shales remains highly controversial. Most scholars argue that deeper water environments and warmer climates facilitate the enrichment of organic matter. However, this perspective contra...
The BMP7 gene is involved in the growth and development of hair follicles but its regulation mechanism is unclear. We studied the regulation mechanism of the BMP7 promoter by cloning the proximal promoter of BMP7 for bioinformatics analysis. A series...
Delivery of therapeutic molecules to pathogenic cells is often hampered by unintended toxicity to normal cells. In principle, this problem can be circumvented if the therapeutic effector molecule is split into two inactive components, and only assemb...
As cities are struggling to cope with the second wave of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the idea of 15-min cities seem to have sparked planners’ imagination and politicians’ willingness for providing us with a new urban planning eutopia. T...
