On the order-diameter ratio of girth-diameter cages

For integers $k,g,d$, a $(k;g,d)$-cage (or simply girth-diameter cage) is a smallest $k$-regular graph of girth $g$ and diameter $d$ (if it exists). The order of a $(k;g,d)$-cage is denoted by $n(k;g,d)$. We determine asymptotic lower and upper bounds for the ratio between the or...

Thermodynamic Aspects of Mixed-Linkage Glucan and Nanocellulose Interactions

Abstract This study addresses knowledge gaps concerning interactions between barley mixed-linkage glucans (MLGs) and TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanocrystals (TCNC), focusing on underlying physiochemical and thermodynamic principles. Combining dynamic light scattering (DLS), quartz...

Invasive Pseudosuccinea columella enters the transmission cycle of an amphistome parasite infecting African buffalo

Abstract Parasite transmission and disease outcomes in African wildlife are increasingly shaped by anthropogenic environmental change, yet empirical data linking parasites, intermediate hosts and wildlife health remain scarce. Following an unexplained increase in mortality among...

Retrospective narratives of COVID-19 experiences: a qualitative study of written accounts by people in public in the context of a performative intervention

BACKGROUND: This qualitative study explored how people retrospectively described their experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic. It aimed how these experiences are remembered and interpreted over time. METHODS: A qualitative study design was employed, based on short texts written by...

Intratracheal Leiomyosarcoma in a 13-Year-Old German Riding Pony Mare

A 13-year-old German Riding Pony mare was referred for evaluation of progressive respiratory noise and mixed dyspnoea, which rapidly deteriorated to respiratory distress. Clinical examination revealed marked rattling inspiratory and expiratory tracheal sounds and severe, rattling...

Live Retrieval and Citation of Orphan Synthetic Entities by Consumer Generative Engines: Results Against a Preregistered Protocol

Results record for the preregistered study deposited as DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21705818. The preregistered 2x2 (entity density × content structure) is declared non-interpretable due to a length-parity deviation, reported under the deviation clause. What survives, from confirmatory ru...
