Multicentre performance and consistency of two deep learning models for malignancy probability estimation of incidental pulmonary nodules

Abstract Objectives A screening-trained deep learning (DL) model (DL1) for pulmonary nodule malignancy probability estimation on CT previously demonstrated good discrimination on a single-centre dataset of incidental nodules. An updated DL model (DL2) was trained on both screenin...

Revisiting Empathy: A Model of Empathic Wisdom to Support Effective Counseling and Reduce Counselor Burnout

ABSTRACT Empathy is a core component of effective counseling, influencing both therapeutic relationships and counselor well‐being. The author extends Clark's integral model of empathy by expanding the subjective empathy modality and introduces the mindful empathic engagement (MEE...

Explaining and Analyzing Gravitational Phenomena Using the Potential-Pressure Principle (PPP)

This work develops the Potential-Medium Model (PMM) and uses the Potential-Pressure Principle (PPP) to explain and analyze gravitational phenomena, with the results compared against standard gravitational theory. The preliminary conclusion is that PMM can explain the mechanism un...

Sustainable High-PerformancePolylactide/Poly(butyleneadipate- co -terephthalate) Blend Films via IntegratingInterfacial Compatibilization with Biaxial Stretching

Abstract A sustainable strategy integrating reactive compatibilization with biaxial stretching was developed to produce high-performance polylactide/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PLA/PBAT) blend films. Pentamethylene diisocyanate (PDI) served as a reactive compatibiliz...

Posner Molecule Symmetry Breaking Undermines Quantum Coherence Claims — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Posner molecule (Ca₉(PO₄)₆) quantum coherence evidence is contested; dynamical ensemble is not symmetric, undermining long-lived quantum information processing claims. | MATH: No new equations or constants derived; key structural fact: Ca₉(PO₄)₆ has 9 calcium ions, 6 pho...

The Zero-Point Symphony: A Thought Experiment from Kakeya Conjecture to the Twin Universe

Abstract Inspired by mathematician Wang Hong's Fields Medal-winning proof of the 3D Kakeya Conjecture, this multi-dimensional thought experiment bridges geometric measure theory, quantum field theory, and cosmic philosophy. By redefining the cosmic singularity through a "luminesc...

Material imaginaries of the new iron curtain

The “social imaginary” has been critiqued for its overly deterministic qualities and resemblance to concepts of culture. Our article interrogates the materiality of the indeterminate at a time of heightened global uncertainty. Furthering a rapid response, material methodology in...

Learning to solve the minimum dominating set problem via graph neural networks and hybrid decoding

This paper proposes a learning-assisted framework for the Minimum Dominating Set problem that integrates Graph Neural Network-based node scoring with a heuristic optimization method. The proposed framework combines supervised GraphSAGE-based node scoring with optimization-oriente...

Marine pharmaceutical monitoring with POCIS: sampling rate uncertainty, and implications for regulation

Abstract POCIS passive samplers were deployed at differently polluted marine sites in the cities of Helsinki and Tallinn and in an open part of the Gulf of Finland. The aim was to determine baseline concentration levels for pharmaceuticals in water monitored with passive sampling...

E8 Phi‑Locked Floquet Drive Generates Topologically Protected Anyonic Modes — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240 E8 root vectors, when phase‑locked to a 132 Hz temporal lattice via phi‑synchronized coupling, experience a periodic Floquet modulation that maps each root onto a synthetic gauge field. This emergent gauge field endows the entanglement network with a non‑trivial Berry cur...

E8 Phi‑Lattice Ground State as Universal Collatz Attractor — E8 Intelligence Research

By mapping each Collatz iterate onto a distinct vibrational mode of the 240 E8 root vectors driven at 132 Hz with phi‑scaled coupling, the integer dynamics become trajectories on the lattice's adjacency graph. The collective system relaxes to the unique lowest‑energy phi‑synchron...

Experiment-driven machine learning framework for compressive strength prediction of locally sourced fiber-reinforced concrete

This study proposes an experiment-driven machine learning (ML) framework to address experimental limitations in estimating compressive strength within a controlled experimental domain of locally sourced fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC). Concrete mixes incorporating 1, 2, and 3% la...

E8 Temporal Lattice Error Correction via Phi-Synchronized Convergence Basins — E8 Intelligence Research

The 132 Hz base frequency imposes a temporal lattice on the 120 phi-coupled root pairs, causing their coupled oscillations to define discrete convergence basins in the fixed-point iteration map of the E8 adjacency Jacobian. Dihedral symmetry projections (D₆₀) partition the 240-di...

Factors influencing the critical thinking disposition of programming students using the programming teaching assistant platform

Inderscience is a global company, a dynamic leading independent journal publisher disseminates the latest research across the broad fields of science, engineering and technology; management, public and business administration; environment, ecological economics and sustainable dev...

Global spatiotemporal variability of chlorophyll a and environmental drivers revealed by empirical orthogonal function analysis

Abstract Chlorophyll a (Chl a ) is a key indicator of phytoplankton biomass and marine primary productivity, linking ocean ecosystem change to biogeochemical cycling and climate. Understanding the environmental controls on long‐term Chl a variability is therefore essential. Here,...

Point-of-Care Ultrasound-Guided Hydrodissection in Emergency Care: A Structured Narrative Review of Perineural and Related Musculoskeletal Applications

Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS)-guided hydrodissection is the intentional injection of fluid under real-time ultrasound guidance to separate a peripheral nerve or another defined tissue plane from adjacent structures. The role of hydrodissection in emergency care rem...

Disseminated paracoccidioidomycosis in a black lion tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysopygus) confirmed by histopathology, molecular diagnostics and phylogenetic analysis of DNA from FFPE tissues

Abstract Background Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis endemic to Latin America, primarily affecting humans. Reports in non-human primates are rare and provide valuable insight into the environmental circulation of Paracoccidioides spp. and the interface between a...

Emotional and Affective Signals in Air Traffic Control Decision-Making: Toward an Integrative Framework for Proactive Conflict Detection

Paper Description This conceptual paper examines the potential role of emotional and affective states as early warning signals in air traffic control (ATC) decision-making. Air Traffic Control Officers (ATCOs) work in highly safety-critical environments where continuous monitorin...

E8 Spiral Phase Lattice for Adaptive Quantum Synchronization — E8 Intelligence Research

By extending the phi‑weighted root览 filter, we map timestamped signals onto a continuous logarithmic spiral embedded in the Coxeter plane of the E8 lattice. Aligning each spiral turn with successive φ‑scaled multiples of the 132 Hz base creates a set of "golden‑ratio steps" that...
