Evaluation of Technical Readiness of the Whole-Process Optimized Fertilization Plan for Vitis vinifera ‘Red Globe’ at a County Scale

Excessive fertilization in grape production reduces profitability and harms the environment. A five-year field experiment and household survey in Xiangyun County, Yunnan, evaluated a whole-process optimized fertilization plan for Vitis vinifera ‘Red Globe’ (hereafter abbreviated...

Development and validation of a digital application for predicting air permeability of weft knitted fabrics

Air permeability is a fundamental property of textile materials that influences their comfort, functional performance, and suitability for specific applications. It refers to the ability of air to pass through a textile structure under a defined pressure differential. In technica...

Role of Judiciary for Speedy Disposal of Cases: An Empirical Study on the Indian Criminal Justice System

The problem of delay is colossal, with huge pendency in respect of arrears of cases in different Courts of India. The judiciary has a pivotal role to play in maintaining the rule of law, ensuring that justice is served promptly, and boosting public trust in the legal system. The...

How Vitality Tracker estimates your energy expenditure: method note, version 1.0 (TDEE Engine v2)

Method note describing how Vitality Tracker estimates a person's total daily energy expenditure (TDEE Engine v2, the version in production). The estimate is the precision-weighted combination of two quantities. The first is an energy-balance measurement: the confounder-weighted m...

Supporting Self-Regulated Learning in Primary Education: A Case Study in a Directed Independent Learning School

Supporting students’ self-regulated learning (SRL) in school is essential for fostering self-directed learners and depends largely on how teachers design learning environments and instructional tasks. The aim of this case study is to examine how SRL-supportive classroom practices...

Expiry Week Mechanics: Why Tuesday Is Not Like Friday

Nifty weekly options expire on Tuesday. The day before and the morning of expiry do not behave like the rest of the week, because time decay speeds up and the contest around Max Pain is settled in a few hours. Version 2 (October 8, 2026): the description of how the closing value...

Macrophage-specific LAMTOR2 deletion disrupts systemic iron homeostasis in mice

At the center of iron homeostasis, macrophages play a crucial role by phagocytosing senescent erythrocytes while nursing erythrocyte progenitors. A major route of cellular iron acquisition occurs via transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1)-mediated endocytosis of transferrin-bound iron, a...

RELIGION ACTORS AND CONFLICT MANAGEMENT IN SOMALIA, 1999– 2024

Purpose of study: This study examined the role of religious actors and ideologies in conflict management in Somalia between 1999 and 2024. Specifically, it analysed how religion contributed to conflict, examined religion as a tool for conflict management, and evaluated how religi...

Dual-Mode Photodetection and Neuromorphic Memory with PTCDI-C8/C8-BTBT Organic Heterojunctions

Abstract Merging optoelectronic sensing with synaptic emulation is critical for the progression of artificial intelligence. Herein, we report a bias-configurable dual-mode optoelectronic device engineered from a PTCDI-C8/C8-BTBT organic heterojunction, enabling a reversible trans...

Improvement of Surface Cracks in Aluminum Alloy Strip Casting Using a Grooved Roll in a Vertical-Type High-Speed Twin Roll Caster

A vertical-type high-speed twin roll caster can cast aluminum alloy strip at speeds from 20 to 90 m/min; however, surface cracks occur on the cast strip. In Al-Si alloys, surface cracks are known to occur when the Si content is less than 5 mass%. The condition of the surface crac...

Stone composition and the relative distribution of uropathogen taxa generally classified as non-urease-producing in positive preoperative urine cultures: a retrospective cohort study

Abstract Objectives This study included patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for calcium oxalate or infection stones whose preoperative midstream urine cultures yielded only uropathogen taxa generally classified as non-urease-producing. We compared the distribu...

Adjunctive Low-Level Laser Therapy and Deep Oscillation in Pulmonary Rehabilitation for Post-Tuberculosis Lung Disease

Background: Post-tuberculosis lung disease (PTLD) is associated with persistent functional impairment and reduced quality of life. This study evaluated the association between the addition of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and deep oscillation (DO) to structured pulmonary rehabil...

The NBGENS project protocol: Pilot study for genetic newborn screening in Galicia

Background Conventional newborn screening (NBS) relies on mainly biochemical assays and remains limited by its dependence on detectable biomarkers within a narrow postnatal window, leaving many treatable genetic disorders unidentified. Advances in next-generation sequencing have...

Nath Darsana: Aerospace-Grade VSOP87 Astrodynamical Computation Engine, Deterministic WASM Ephemerides, and Multi-Varga Agentic RAG Synthesis

We present the architectural and mathematical framework of Nath Darsana, a distributed, edge-computed astrodynamical engine engineered for sub-arcsecond aerospace ephemeris generation, continuous-to-discrete phase-space quantization (Varga / Dasha boundary evaluation), and multi-...

Periprocedural Anesthesia and Analgesia in Hair Transplantation: An Evidence-Based Review of Contemporary Clinical Practice

BACKGROUND Hair transplantation is a widely performed office-based aesthetic procedure characterized by prolonged procedural duration, cumulative local anesthetic exposure, and reliance on sustained patient cooperation. Despite extensive literature on surgical technique and aesth...

Inverse Design of Multisource Thermal Metamaterials for Multifunctional Thermal Camouflage

ABSTRACT Controlling thermal transport in systems with multiple heat sources represents a fundamental and unresolved challenge in thermal science, where strong inter‐source coupling and complex source geometries readily destroy the spatial coherence required for reliable thermal...

A systematic review of evidence on weight change following initiation of long‐acting cabotegravir for the prevention or treatment of HIV

Abstract Background Weight gain is an increasingly recognized concern among people receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) and may increase the risk of non‐communicable diseases. Integrase inhibitors (INSTIs) such as dolutegravir (DTG) have been associated with weight gain, but th...
