NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF HYDROMAGNETIZED BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW EQUATION WITH VISCOUS DISSIPATION EFFECT ON A PLATE UNDER VARIABLE TEMPERATURE

With variable temperature and viscous dissipation, this paper considers a classical problem of an MHD boundary layer flow over a rectangular plate in a uniform stream of fluid. By using similarity transformation, the governing nonlinear PDEs have been transformed into a set of OD...

WORK ETHICS AND BEHAVIOUR OF STAFF IN WORKPLACE: A STUDY OF BAYELSA STATE HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT BOARD (HMB)

This study examined the work ethic and behavior of staff in the Bayelsa State Hospital Management Board (HMB) and their impact on service delivery. The specific objectives were to assess the common behavioral patterns of staff, examine the factors influencing staff work ethic and...

The Paradox of Growth Without Jobs: A Qualitative Analysis of Employment Policies and Unemployment Trends in Kenya

This study examines the paradox of sustained economic growth alongside persistently high unemployment in Kenya, particularly among the youth. Despite notable GDP expansion driven largely by capital-intensive sectors such as infrastructure and services, job creation has not kept p...

A Defect–Convexity Filtration for Regular-Simplex-Faceted Polytopes: Exact spectra, gaps, re-entry, and quantitative realization thresholds

We propose a two-parameter framework for organizing convex polytopes whose facets are regular simplices or controlled perturbations thereof. The framework separates metric regularity of the edge set from strict convexity of the gluing. For a convex simplicial polytope P, we intro...

Faithful, Query-Aware Compression of LLM Agent Tool Output

Tool outputs—web pages, JSON API responses, logs, CSV exports—are the largest andmost-ignored token sink in LLM agent loops. A single verbose tool result can dwarf the agent’sinstructions, and the standard mitigation, blind truncation, silently discards the fact the agentneeds. W...

Effort-Reward Imbalance Model and Turnover Intention among Nigerian Health Workers: A Conceptual Analysis.

Turnover intention among healthcare professionals remains a major challenge for healthcare organizations because of its implications for employee retention, service quality, and organizational sustainability. Among the factors associated with turnover intention is employees' perc...

Daily Provisions: Tracing a Longue Durée of Feeding Archaeological Workers and Paths of Sustenance for the Future

Abstract Providing sustenance for archaeological workers has been a logistical and social challenge from the earliest stages of the discipline. Food preparation involved a constellation of workers, from gardeners to ingredient purchasers, and from cooks and chefs, who were often...

Phase II Non-Randomised Trial of Oral Chlorophyllin in Haemorrhagic Cystitis from Radiation Therapy (CLARITY Trial): clinical and quality-of-life outcomes with exploratory proteomics

Abstract Chronic Haemorrhagic Cystitis (cHC) affects 5–15% of patients after pelvic radiotherapy. Sodium-copper-chlorophyllin, a semi-synthetic chlorophyll derivative, has shown promise in preclinical models. The phase II CLARITY trial evaluated oral chlorophyllin for radiation-i...

Floods and Food Security in Rural South Africa: Lived Experiences of Households, Farmers, and Food Entrepreneurs in Hamakuya Village

Abstract Floods disrupt food and nutrition security by affecting food availability, accessibility, utilization, and stability. This study examined the effects of flooding on household food accessibility, availability, and stability, and identified coping and adaptation strategies...

EVALUATING THE CONTRIBUTION OF OFF-GRID SOLAR POWER KIOSKS FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SOLUTIONS FOR RURAL AREAS IN SOUTHWEST NIGERIA

Lack of access to electricity is one of the major impediments to the growth and development of rural economies in developing countries like Nigeria. Energy in particular is critical in achieving virtually all the sustainable development goals; it can be used to support important...

Predicting Risky Behavior Among Pregnant Women in Eastern African countries using Pooled Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) Data: An Explainable Machine Learning Approach

Abstract Introduction Consumption of unhealthy substances such as tobacco use, and engagement in unsafe sexual activity are the major contributors to morbidity and mortality for pregnant women and the fetus. Although, risky behavior among pregnant women was complex and multifacto...

Evaluating the efficacy of a novel endometrial receptivity test in improving pregnancy outcomes for Chinese in vitro fertilization patients: a single-center retrospective study

Abstract Background Current evidence on whether endometrial receptivity tests improve pregnancy outcomes among in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients remains conflicting and limited. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of HerRecepta, a novel transcriptomic endometrial recept...

Quantitative Analysis of Concrete Mechanical Properties with Ultrasonic Shear-Wave Tomography

Abstract Ultrasonic shear-wave tomography (UST) offers a promising nondestructive approach for evaluating the internal condition and mechanical properties of concrete. Although its qualitative capability to detect internal defects is well established, limited research has investi...

Determinants of Successful Implementation of Government Affordable Housing Projects in Nyanza Region, Kenya

Affordable housing has become a critical development priority in Kenya due to persistent housing deficits, rapid urbanization, and increasing pressure on infrastructure systems. Despite government efforts through the Affordable Housing Programme (AHP), implementation outcomes rem...

Decoupling Ion–Dipole Interactions via Competitive Coordination for Durable Dendrite-Free Zinc Metal Batteries

Abstract The aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) are famous for high-safety and high-energy-density, but limited by severe challenges around the Helmholtz plane layer such as the strong ion–dipole interactions between Zn 2+ and H 2 O, resulting in slow desolvation processes and...

Adaptive oncogenesis of β-catenin emerges from declining liver tissue integrity

Abstract Mutations are fundamental to oncogenesis, yet they cannot fully explain cancer progression, as oncogenic mutations frequently accumulate in healthy tissues without immediate malignancy. In the liver, β-catenin mutations are highly prevalent in hepatocellular carcinoma bu...

Collapse Alignment, Binding Behaviour, and the Emergent Structure of Recursive Systems - The Carlo Gravity Engine

This paper presents a complete reconstruction of gravity within the Carlo Field framework, defining it not as a force, curvature, or mass‑interaction, but as collapse‑alignment under recursive authority, stability pressure, and contextual rebinding. Gravity is shown to be the bin...

The Principle of Nonuniformity Three Structural Quantities, a Master Equation Graded in Four Layers, and the Correct Classification of Aggregation Limits

Abstract: The macroscopic phenomenological apparatus of open flow-through systems — an income-minus-expenditure master equation, a gradient-flow relaxation, and a quasi-potential landscape — is usually posed as a set of postulates. This paper assembles that apparatus into a diagn...

Intelligent Pavement Recognition and Automated Repair Algorithm Based on LU-Net and DP

Abstract Crack repair has long been a critical task in highway maintenance. With the continuous expansion of the scale of roads under maintenance, traditional manual patching can no longer meet the growing demand. Current mainstream pavement crack repair technologies generally ha...
