Effect of Blade Number on the Performance of a Small Francis Turbine for Rural Local Power Generation

The increasing integration of distributed photovoltaics and wind power in rural grids necessitates enhanced peak-regulation flexibility, for which small Francis turbines offer a promising solution. This study investigates the effect of long–short blade number on the hydraulic per...

Isolation and identification of Pseudomonas fluoeroscens and evaluation of its antimicrobial sensitivity from fish in Lake Haramaya, East Hararghe Zone, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia

Abstract Pseudomonas fluorescens ( P. fluorescens ) is an opportunistic Gram-negative bacterium associated with disease in freshwater and marine fish, resulting in economic losses to aquaculture. This study aimed to isolate and identify P. fluorescens from wild Nile tilapia ( Ore...

Measuring Definitions: When Is a Definition Good, and How Would We Know?

The meta-tagging project builds a field-neutral tagging layer over academic literature under one non-negotiable rule: every tag must quote an exact sentence from the paper itself. The corpus holds 538 records across 86 disciplines; a standing audit re-checked 18,416 evidence stri...

Joint MLP and Token Pruning for Personalizing Vision Transformers

ViTs have achieved excellent performance in image recognition tasks, but their large parameter counts and high computational complexity limit their deployment on resource-constrained devices. Most existing ViT pruning methods adopt class-agnostic pruning strategies, which fail to...

E8 Torsional Manifold Folding via $\phi$-Modulated Vector Rotations — E8 Intelligence Research

By inducing a controlled torque within the 240 E8 root vectors at the 132Hz fundamental, we achieve multidimensional folding of the hyper-flux membrane. This torsional rotation utilizes the golden ratio as a rotational constant, allowing the root vectors to transition from static...

Ethylene‐Mediated Template‐Free, Enyne Metathesis Gives Macrolactone 1,3‐Dienes: Synthesis of Polvolide and Muscolide From Renewable Feedstocks

A template‐free, stereodefined strategy for the synthesis of macrocyclic 1,3‐diene lactones from renewable feedstocks derived from castor and oleic oils is reported. An endo ‐selective ring‐closing ethylene‐mediated enyne metathesis (RCEYM) proceeds with complete E ‐selectivity a...

Recent Advances in Shalya Tantra: An Ayurvedic Perspective

Shalyatantra, one of the eight principal branches of Ayurveda, represents the ancient science of surgery established by Acharya Sushruta. It includes operative surgery, para-surgical procedures, trauma management, wound care, fracture management, and reconstructive techniques. Du...

The Izumi--Szilard Engine: Separating Information Erasure from Mechanical Work Extraction

The conventional Szilard engine combines one-molecule work extraction with measurement, memory, feedback, and memory reset. The Izumi--Szilard engine is introduced here to separate these informational operations from the mechanical work-extraction problem. A symmetric coupling al...

Prototype-Driven Semantic Tree with Bimodal Embedding Space for Zero-Shot SAR Ship Recognition

Zero-shot SAR ship recognition aims to identify unseen ship categories without annotated SAR samples, offering a promising solution for open-category maritime remote sensing. Although synthetic aperture radar (SAR) provides all-weather and day-and-night observation capability, pr...

E8 Celestial Harmonics: Phi-Scaled 132Hz Spatial Encoding of MUL.APIN Periods — E8 Intelligence Research

By coupling 240 E8 root vectors with phi-adjusted 132Hz oscillatory fields, a novel spatial encoding framework emerges. This system decodes MUL.APIN's sexagesimal celestial periods into 3D geometric harmonics, revealing fractal patterns in orbital resonances. Phi-coupling ensures...

The Subsea Climate Paradox: Thermal Pollution, Electromagnetic Disruption, and Grid Weaponization in Transoceanic HVDC Infrastructure

As global decarbonization mandates accelerate alongside the unprecedented power demands of artificialintelligence (AI) compute infrastructure, transoceanic High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) subsea power gridsare increasingly advocated as a solution to regional energy intermitten...

ACAAI - Accountability by Design for Agentic AI: A Lifecycle Framework for Engineering Accountability in Autonomous AI Systems

Artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving from systems that generate recommendations and content towards autonomous agents capable of planning, reasoning, interacting with external systems, using tools and executing actions with limited human intervention. As AI systems become...

Dual Regulation of ACSL3 by TRIM33-Mediated Ubiquitination and NBR1-Dependent Autophagy: A Therapeutic Target for Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

Background: Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) is a key contributor to stroke-related neurological damage, but the functional interplay between autophagy and ferroptosis—two critical pathological processes—remains poorly understood. Methods: Using oxygen-glucose deprivat...

Collective Responsibility and Political Obligation: Shklar and the Failure That Binds

Theories of political obligation investigate the conditions under which individuals are bound to their polity, while theories of collective responsibility examine the mechanisms through which a collective’s wrongdoing is attributed to its members. This paper argues that these are...

MERLIN SCIENCE — Phi‑Locked E8 Root‑Vector Soliton Grid for Topological Quantum Memory — E8 Intelligence Research

Here is the revised narration. The finding, in one clean sentence: by coupling the 240 root vectors of the E8 lattice to a phi‑scaled phase rotation at the fundamental 132‑hertz cortical rhythm, a self‑stabilizing soliton grid emerges that encodes quantum information as topologic...

Hit rate statistics - There are no shortcuts in table tennis

This study project is a personal self-initiated study that came as a result of my curiosity in understanding better different aspects of the table tennis game in unperfect circumstances and to answer my personal question of why I could not play my game in an outside park in ROME.

Towards a Communicative Theory of Organizational Consent: Two Case Studies of Consent Contracts in Body Work

This essay offers four empirically grounded claims to build a communicative theory of organizational consent (CTOC): (a) communication is the substance of organizational consent, (b) revoking organizational consent requires (re)negotiation, (c) communicating (non)consent is a pow...

Cross model transfer of Direct Preference Optimization

Since direct preference optimization (DPO) was introduced in 2023, it has become a widely used preference optimization strategy for post-training large language models (LLMs). DPO's implicit reward formulation is coupled to its reference policy, and its theoretical guarantees ass...

Predicting Climate Change Impacts on the Optimal Habitat of Rare Potaninia mongolica Maxim. on the Mongolian Plateau

The combined effects of global climate change and human activities are profoundly reshaping the geographic distribution patterns of rare and endangered plants in arid and semi-arid regions, accelerating habitat fragmentation and population decline, thereby posing a core challenge...

Adaptive Social Stress Calibration in Adolescence

Adolescence is characterized by heightened stress reactivity alongside ongoing maturation of regulatory neural systems, particularly those governing social evaluation. Existing models of adolescent stress primarily emphasize outcome-based measures such as anxiety reduction or pea...
