Research compendium (layers 0 to 16, four arcs) of a minimal artificial-life model in which persistent organisms — with real death, no negative valence, and no aversive signal — acquire value, prediction, attention, autobiographical damage records, a self-model, and a learned sca...

The association between sedentary behavior and eye diseases: a prospective study from the UK Biobank
Abstract Background Sedentary behavior (SB) is a well-established risk factor for multiple chronic diseases. However, evidence regarding its association with common ocular disorders remains limited and inconsistent. This study investigated the prospective associations between SB...

ELS Framework: A Conceptual Thought Experiment Note on Energy Transitions and State Changes 2
This research note presents a conceptual thought-experiment framework for exploring possible relationships among electron-photon interactions, energy transitions, changes in the states of matter, and the concept of time. The starting point of this work is the question of whether...

Comparison of sulfate and other anionic functional groups in cellulose pulp sheet functionality
Sulfated cellulose pulp (SCP), phosphorylated cellulose pulp, and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl radical-oxidized cellulose pulp are cellulose derivatives with distinct functional groups introduced through controlled chemical modifications. SCP has been reported to be synth...

Abstract Background Communities residing near petrochemical complexes are chronically exposed to complex volatile organic compound (VOC) mixtures, but routine surveillance is often restricted to limited sentinel panels, which may lead to the underestimation of true health risks....

John Archibald Wheeler’s classical geometrodynamics program postulated that discrete physical entities possessing mass and charge could be constructed entirely from continuous electromagnetic fields via self-confined wave packets known as geons. However, formal perturbation analy...

The four 60-vector torsion corridors of E8's root system create quantum decoherence barriers when their 132φⁿ harmonics reach critical amplitude resonance. These standing wave patterns in the sexagesimal decomposition lock quantum states by aligning phi-scaled frequency nodes acr...

Concurrent Germline RB1 & Mosaic TP53 in a Child With Multiple Childhood Cancers
ABSTRACT We report a patient with a pathogenic germline variant (PGV) in RB1 and somatic mosaicism for a pathogenic TP53 variant who developed three distinct types of childhood cancer: retinoblastoma, osteosarcoma, and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) before the age of 6 years. The...

Abstract Large language models (LLMs) and agents have lately propelled advances in artificial intelligence for science (AI4S). In this work, we propose a toolset-first paradigm for intelligent computation that decouples the tools from the agents via the model context protocol (MC...

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Cocaine Use Disorder: An Observational Study
Background: Cocaine use disorder (CUD) presents high relapse rates and limited treatment options. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has shown promise, but evidence in clinical practice is scarce. Methods: We conducted a naturalistic retrospective study using med...

Speaking of Learning: Education, Epistemology, and the Discourse of the Female Talented Tenth
Abstract: This article examines the role of education as a heuristic in late 19th-century Black feminist thought as expressed by the six Black women speakers at the 1893 World’s Congress of Representative Women. Against the backdrop of Jim Crow’s rise, these leading members of th...

Abstract Understanding the progenitors of stripped-envelope interacting supernovae (SEISNe) is crucial for probing the final stages of massive star evolution. Despite this, their rarity means the nature of their progenitors remains poorly constrained. We investigate the progenito...
