SIGMAR-3D: scale-invariant guaranteed monotone accurate registration for 3D scenes

Abstract SIGMAR-3D is a training-free framework for robust pairwise 3D point-cloud registration. It combines a handcrafted local descriptor, SIGMA, with a scene-adaptive coarse-to-fine registration stage, R-3D. SIGMA builds a repeatable local reference frame at each keypoint and...

ChatGPT’s feedback credibility and students’ perceived learning: the role of agent-related social perceptions

Abstract This paper examines whether students’ agent-related social perceptions of ChatGPT are associated with the perceived credibility of its feedback in academic tasks and whether such credibility, in turn, is related to students’ perceived learning. It also investigates wheth...

To Greater Twist: A Kinetically Biased π‐Radical Cascade

π-Radical cascades of open-shell graphene fragments-exemplified by phenalenyl and related systems-are emerging as a versatile synthetic tool for constructing complex polycyclic aromatic frameworks. While previous investigations showed that the reaction outcome can be reduced to a...

Evidence-centric certification maintenance under continuous system change

Security certification becomes difficult to maintain when digital systems evolve through software releases, configuration updates, dependency changes, credential rotation, and infrastructure modifications. Although certification schemes provide rigorous procedures for evaluating...

Case Report A Rare Cause of Cardiofaciocutaneous Syndrome—KRAS p.Pro34arg: Clinical Delineation, Diagnostic Challenges, and Implications for RASopathy Classification

Background and Clinical Significance: Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFC) is a rare autosomal dominant RASopathy characterized by craniofacial dysmorphism, congenital heart defects, cutaneous abnormalities, growth impairment, and neurodevelopmental delay. Pathogenic variants in K...

The WoKaS-Iso database: workflow for a global compilation of oxygen-18 and deuterium records in karst springs and cave drip water for enhanced understanding of karst systems

For analysing karst hydrogeological systems, observations of karst springs and cave drips are considered indispensable. In addition to hydrometric observations, knowing the oxygen and hydrogen stable isotope ratios has improved the understanding of vadose zone and aquifer dynamic...

Effective School Leadership in a Rural School: A Case Study

This study analyses successful educational leadership and school improvement in an early years and primary school. It is a case study based on the International Successful School Principalship Project (ISSPP) methodology, it presents a case study of a rural school in Spain. The m...

Sociodemographic and Anthropometric Determinants of Body Dissatisfaction in a Sample of Spanish Adolescents: The EHDLA Study

Body dissatisfaction is prevalent among adolescents and linked to adverse outcomes. This study examined sociodemographic and anthropometric factors associated with body dissatisfaction in Spanish adolescents. Cross-sectional data from the Eating Healthy and Daily Life Activities...

End-to-end pseudo-measurement learning for state estimation under limited observability

Distribution System State Estimation (DSSE) is becoming increasingly important with the integration of Distributed Energy Resources and the active operation of distribution networks (DNs), but it remains challenging due to the limited and heterogeneous monitoring infrastructure a...

Effects of Water-Saving Technologies on the Establishment and Reproductive Phenology of Five Crop Species Under Rain-Fed Conditions on Floreana Island (Galápagos)

Water scarcity is a major constraint to agricultural production on small oceanic islands, where freshwater availability is naturally limited and production systems depend heavily on rainfall. In the Galapagos Islands, agriculture plays an important role in local food supply and r...

Digital Transformation and Environmental Sustainability in SMES: A Contingency Analysis of Organisational Capabilities and Market Demand

ABSTRACT This study examines how Industry 4.0 adoption breadth and organisational capabilities are associated with environmental sustainability in manufacturing SMEs. Drawing on a capability‐based perspective, it develops and tests a contingency model linking Industry 4.0 adoptio...

Ebola-virus outbreaks are teleconnected with macroclimatic oscillations

Ebola viruses’ ecology is known to be affected by climate, which is globally monitored using macroclimatic oscillation indices. We tested whether any of 26 macroclimatic oscillation indices were teleconnected with Ebola virus disease (EBOD) outbreaks. We compiled an updated datab...

Responsiveness of the Stair Climb Test Across Follow‐Up Periods and Baseline Severity in Knee Osteoarthritis

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose The properties of the Stair Climb Test (SCT) remain to be determined in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the responsiveness and clinically meaningful improvement of the SCT across different follow‐up periods and...

Partnership and Fertility Trajectories of Immigrant Women Across the Migration Process to Spain: A Comparison by Country of Origin

ABSTRACT Although many studies examine family patterns among immigrants and how these differ from those in the native population, a migration‐focused perspective investigating how partnerships and childbearing trajectories intersect throughout the migration process remains scarce...

Explainable Artificial Intelligence Applied to the Characterisation of ADHD in Children and Adolescents Using the WISC-V

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) diagnosis relies heavily on subjective behavioural ratings, which are susceptible to informant bias. This study examined whether combining a psychometric cognitive assessment with behavioural rating scales, analysed through Explaina...

Operative Heritage: A Methodological Framework for Post-Disaster Territorial Reconstruction—The Tajogaite Eruption in La Palma as a Case Study

Post-disaster territorial reconstruction processes reveal a persistent gap between the recognition of heritage as having a cultural, memorial, or landscape value and its effective integration into spatial decision-making. Drawing on the post-volcanic context created by the 2021 T...

Housing-Type and Urban Spatial Patterns of Infectious Diseases: Spatial Analysis of COVID-19 Cases at Household Level in Málaga (Spain)

Although many studies examine housing conditions during COVID-19 lockdowns, fewer explore how housing attributes and their spatial distribution relate to disease risk. This study applies an Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) framework to connect housing and COVID-19 data in...

The diet supplemented with raw and hydrolyzed Microchloropsis gaditana and Arthrospira platensis blend modulates intestinal microbiota and metabolomic profiles in Sparus aurata

Abstract The transition toward sustainable aquaculture has prompted the search for alternative feed ingredients that support fish health while reducing dependence on fishmeal. Microalgae such as Microchloropsis gaditana and Arthrospira platensis are rich in bioactive compounds wi...

Assessing Meteo-HySEA performance for Adriatic meteotsunami events

Abstract Meteotsunamis are anomalous sea-level oscillations driven by atmospheric disturbances, which can lead to hazardous coastal flooding through resonance with local bathymetry and harbor geometries. Accurately reproducing both atmospheric forcing and harbor resonance is thus...

Change-of-Direction (COD) Biomechanics in Sport: A Systematic Review of the Possible Use of IMU

Background/Objectives: Change-of-direction (COD) movements represent a fundamental component of performance in multidirectional sports and constitute one of the primary mechanisms of knee injury. The biomechanical assessment of such movements has traditionally relied on optoelect...
