Aura Tesla Opt: A DIN-Rail Residential Energy Hub with a Resident On-Device Language-Model Agent

Aura Tesla Opt is a wall-mounted, DIN-rail home energy hub that turns a European household's largest loads into a scheduleable resource. A certified Shelly Pro 3EM meter measures all three phases through CT clamps; four certified Shelly Pro 1PM switches (16 A each) control the wa...

RGMEC — Mathematical Structure: Relative Gravitational Matter–Energy Confinement — A Structural Interpretation of Gravitational Time Dilation

Relative Gravitational Matter–Energy Confinement (RGMEC) provides a complementary structural interpretation of gravitational time dilation while remaining mathematically identical to the Schwarzschild limit of General Relativity. Compactness C = GM/(Rc²) is identified as the prim...

BIT Block 6 Stage 1: Intrinsic Dynamics and Observable Models in Typed Systems

Block 6 Stage 1 of Boundary Information Theory (BIT) presents a research architecture linking system evolution, trait emergence and persistence, traces affecting subsequent dynamics, and observation and intentional construction. Six components organize the framework: intrinsic dy...

The Odero Theory of Captured Inflation: A Persistence Science Explanation for Asymmetric Price Persistence and Market Capture

The Odero Theory of Captured Inflation extends Persistence Science into the domain of macroeconomic inflation dynamics. Building upon the foundational persistence condition of the Odero Axiom, P = C(I)·E > D, this theory proposes that persistent inflation emerges when information...

Prevalence and Determinants of Never Treatment During Mass Drug Administration for Lymphatic Filariasis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Objectives: The term “never treated” refers to individuals who self-report having never ingested tablets during any round of Mass Drug Administration (MDA) against Lymphatic Filariasis (LF). This study estimated the pooled prevalence of never-treated individuals with MDA for LF a...

BIT — Research Block 5 · Stage 1: Constructive Mathematical Physics · New Structures and Computational Methods

Boundary Information Theory (BIT), Research Block 5, starts from a task specification and asks how boundary structures and computational methods can be designed so that system dynamics perform useful work, with explicit accounting for construction, operation and reconfiguration c...

Mapping Upstream Strategies: Monitoring Policy Influence Using Interorganizational Network Analysis

Policy influence is produced through relationships among government agencies, civil society organizations, donors, international organizations, and other actors rather than through formal authority alone. Yet conventional monitoring systems often struggle to observe these upstrea...

Numerical Investigation of Steel Frames with Corrugated-Web Reduced Beam Sections for Enhanced Progressive Collapse Resistance

Following our earlier work on reduced beam section (RBS) connections, this study examines a new set of corrugated-web cell configurations for steel moment-resisting connections. A finite element model, validated against four experimental investigations reported in the literature,...

The Integration Cut Knowledge Transfer Pipeline (TIC-KTP): Canonical Framework Specification

The Integration Cut Knowledge Transfer Pipeline (TIC-KTP) is a conceptual and applied framework for structuring the transformation of complex technical information into perceivable, abstractable, actionable, shareable, and acknowledged knowledge. The framework emerged from the pr...

Asymmetric-Loss Equal-Born Test: a tabletop search for record-information-dependent optical loss

Standard linear optics requires that the transmittance of an optic be independent of photon number: for a linear element the input–output relation a_out = t·a_in + r·b_in is an operator identity, so single-photon and bright-light transmission are equal as a theorem rather than as...

Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of a 630 kVA Liquid-Immersed Distribution Transformer

This paper discusses a comparative life cycle assessment (LCA) carried out on 630 kVA liquid-immersed distribution transformers with different winding conductor materials and energy performance levels. The LCA methodology for power transformers is still under development. Most LC...

Dengue and Chikungunya Seroprevalence in an Urban Low-Income Cohort in Delhi: A Cross-Sectional and Nested Longitudinal Study

Objectives: The aim of this study was to ascertain the seroprevalence and determinants of dengue virus (DENV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV) seropositivity in Delhi, India. Methods: This cross-sectional serosurvey with a nested longitudinal immunological sub-study was conducted in...

Artificial Intelligence Adoption in Established Women-Led SMEs: A Multiple-Case Study of Competencies, Barriers, and Business Process Applications

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly acknowledged as a strategic asset for enhancing innovation and competitiveness among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Nevertheless, limited research has focused on the experiences of women entrepreneurs regarding AI adoption...

Diagnosed causes of sinonasal disease in 1600 horses and associations with clinical signs, computed tomographic findings and case outcome

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of equine sinonasal disorders has been greatly enhanced by using computed tomographic (CT) imaging. OBJECTIVES: To explore associations between specific diagnoses and clinical and CT findings and between specific diagnoses and case outcome in equine sino...

How large does chi-squared get by chance? A measured null distribution for the combination step of Ellis et al.

Ellis et al. [Phys. Rev. D 99, 083009 (2019)] combine the K-reduced distributions of eight Fermi-LAT gamma-ray bursts into a joint bound on the scale of linear Lorentz violation. The combination yields a raw chi-squared of 261, from which they conclude that the sources are not id...

The Distributed Algorithmic Boundary: When the System No Longer Coincides with the Machine

For much of the history of computing, the material boundary of a computational system could be represented with relative simplicity: processors, memory, storage, and software execution were located within machines whose participation in the system was architecturally specified in...

Preregistration: null distributions across a family of time windows — CHRONOS, track A

Preregistration of an examination of the combination step in J. Ellis,R. Konoplich, N. E. Mavromatos, A. S. Nguyen, A. S. Sakharov andE. K. Sarkisyan-Grinbaum, Phys. Rev. D 99, 083009 (2019). Criteria,thresholds, random seeds and controls were fixed before any computation. This v...
