A Weakly Supervised Slender Object Detection Network for Fishing Rods in UAV Inspection Images

The timely detection of fishing activities supports the protection of water resources and aids law enforcement in fishing ban and shoreline inspection scenarios. Fishing rods are highly discriminative objects for identifying such activities; however, their slender shapes and vary...

Making Shrimp in Moral Economies: Time, Ethics, and Labor in a Global Supply Chain

ABSTRACT This article is part of the special issue 'Morality at Work: Ethnographies of Labor and Ethics' edited by Michael Vine and Sarah Winkler‐Reid. This article explores how future‐oriented temporalities shape people's labor experiences and ethical subjectivities within the g...

Treatment Fidelity of AquOTic: An Occupational Therapy-Based Aquatic Intervention for Children on the Autism Spectrum

Importance Children on the autism spectrum face significantly higher risks for unintentional drowning, yet aquatic interventions often lack the standardized specification necessary for evidence-based replication. Objective To examine the treatment fidelity of AquOTic. Design Desc...

MODEL ADOPTION #3871: REJECT — LEDGER BENCH: Apply filter: Min confirmations >= 5 — improves win rate from 32.5% to 34.0% — E8 Intelligence Research

DECISION: REJECT ELEMENT: No single rule survives — the 5-confirmation filter is a lagging heuristic that conflicts with E8's rhythm-based entry timing (Gods-Clock polarity fires at specific fractal nodes; adding confirmations delays execution past the optimal fade point). EXPECT...

PUH Theorem 393 — A Fixed Handedness Cannot Twist Light Evenly; a Half-Turn Step in Light's Topological Angle Would Twist the Oldest Light by α/2 = 0.209°, Within One Error of the Measured Twist

Photonic Universe Hypothesis (PUH) — Theorem paper. THE QUESTION. The microwave background's polarization arrives turned by a small angle, the same across the sky: 0.215 ± 0.074° from ACT DR6, 0.265 ± 0.058° with WMAP and Planck (T391's combination), consistent with no change acr...

Beta-Logistic Weil Kernels, Spectral Localization, and Signed Short-Interval Reductions

We study beta-logistic test kernels for the Weil explicit formula, focusing on uniform localization, signed arithmetic errors, and their relationship to zeros of the Riemann zeta function. We distinguish classical positivity and one-sided Laplace principles from kernel-specific c...

Gravitational Waves and Vector Dark Matter from a Coleman–Weinberg Dark U(1) Sector: Internal-Consistency Audit and Corrected Phase-Transition Analysis

We audit, and independently recompute, the central predictions of a classically scale-invariant dark U(1) model in which a complex scalar obtains its vacuum expectation value through the Coleman–Weinberg mechanism and the massive dark photon A′ is the dark-matter candidate. An ea...

Topologically robust programmable processing arrays using light and matter skyrmions

Abstract Photonic computing offers a low-power, high-bandwidth paradigm for information processing; however, the analog nature of conventional architectures means that intrinsic noise and fabrication imperfections greatly impact performance, thereby severely limiting scalability....

Revising with Humans and AI: Effects of Teacher-, GenAI-, and Blended-Feedback on EFL Writing Outcomes

This mixed-methods, intact-class quasi-experimental study compared teacher-feedback, GenAI-feedback, and teacher–GenAI-blended-feedback in supporting Chinese EFL learners’ writing outcomes. A total of 109 first-year university students from three intact College English classes pa...

The AML-Associated A338V Mutation Rewires GPR183 Signaling through C-Terminal Ensemble Redistribution

Abstract G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) rely on dynamic conformational ensembles to coordinate G protein activation and recruitment of regulatory transducers such as GPCR kinases and β-arrestins. The oxysterol receptor GPR183 has been implicated in hematological malignancies...

An evolutionary guided framework for robust latent representation learning in gastrointestinal endoscopy images: EvoLatent-FS

Abstract Learning robust and discriminative representations from gastrointestinal endoscopy images remains challenging due to high visual variability, subtle pathological differences, and pronounced class imbalance. While variational autoencoders (VAEs) have shown promise for uns...

Yield Stability and Multi-Trait Evaluation of Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Cultivars Across Mediterranean-Type Environments in Türkiye

Genotype × environment interaction (GEI) is a major constraint on reliable cultivar recommendation in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.), particularly across environments that contrast in temperature, rainfall, and crop duration. In this study, the magnitude and structure of GEI wer...

Bridging the Gaps: Research Priorities and Policy Directions for Tribal Health in Odisha

Abstract Background: Building on the tribe-specific epidemiological data provided by the Odisha Tribal Family Health Survey (OTFHS), the present study employed a priority-setting approach to identify health challenges, research priorities, and actionable strategies for tribal hea...

Does ESG Disclosure Reduce Firm Risk in Saudi Arabia? Dynamic System GMM Evidence from Tadawul-Listed Companies

This study examines whether environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure reduces firm risk among 73 non-financial Tadawul-listed companies in Saudi Arabia over 2015–2024, with particular attention to the moderating role of board independence. Firm risk is measured as th...

Finite element investigation of orientation-dependent mechanical properties in Reuleaux triangle clinch joints

Abstract Clinch joining is widely used in sheet metal assemblies, and joint geometry strongly influences mechanical performance. While most studies focus on circular or rotationally symmetric joint geometries, the influence of non-rotationally symmetric joint orientation relative...

A Common Positive Point for Braid Varieties

We compare two positive subsets of a braid variety: the positive locus of its weave cluster structure and the geometric positive locus defined by the joint nonnegative closure in a twisted product of flag varieties. For every positive braid word of finite crystallographic simple...

Putting the pieces together: A case report on human remains identification driven by tattoo recognition

Dismemberment is a relatively uncommon phenomenon in forensic pathology; its aim is to hinder identification and facilitate corpse concealment. We present a case of fragmented remains where facial recognition was impossible and fingerprints yielded no matches in law enforcement d...

Coronary Flow Velocity Reserve by Stress Echocardiography: The Prognostic Key of Multiple Heart Diseases

Although evaluating coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) via stress echocardiography (SE) has been available for over three decades, its integration into routine clinical practice remains underutilized globally despite substantial technical and conceptual advances. A diminished...

III-V Selective Area Growth by Molecular Beam Epitaxy for Integrated Quantum Systems and Applications

Abstract To realize practical quantum information processing systems with high fidelity, disparate materials and components must be integrated on a scalable, unified platform. Among these, III-V alloys with their widely tunable optical properties and advantageous transport proper...
