Ammonia-Responsive Gelatin/Co–MOF Composite Films Based on Gallic Acid-Derived Metal–Organic Frameworks for Intelligent Food Packaging

Ammonia-responsive gelatin-based composite films containing cobalt metal–organic frameworks (Co–MOFs) synthesized using gallic acid as an organic ligand were developed and evaluated as intelligent packaging materials. Co–MOFs were incorporated into gelatin films at concentrations...

The Food Chain – Educational and Strategic Board Game for Learning Ecology, Biodiversity, and Predator–Prey Relationships

The Food Chain is an original educational and strategic board game created by Doumbia Amara, from Côte d’Ivoire, Africa. The game transforms fundamental concepts of biology, ecology, biodiversity, and food-chain relationships into an interactive and engaging learning experience....

Projection of the Quantum Master Equation onto a Spread-Contraction Continuum Model

This work presents a new theoretical and numerical framework for understanding the sharp quantum–classical crossover by introducing two internal structural degrees of freedom—the local spread S(x) and contraction C(x)—derived from the gradient and curvature of a probability distr...

Graded Branch Unpredictability Near Nonlinear Transitions: A Decision-Scale Framework and Held-Out Energy-Balance Demonstration

Forecast laws near nonlinear transitions may be poorly concentrated even when they are not cleanly bimodal. For a conditional law P(t,h) on a metric state space, we study Uδ(t,h) = 1 − supₐ P(t,h){d(Y,a) ≤ δ}: the minimum probability that a point forecast misses the realization b...

A Planning Methodology Incorporating Ex Ante Evaluation for Sustainable Productive Rural Settlements: A Case Study of a Design Proposal in Pocollay, Tacna

The increase in global carbon dioxide emissions is intensifying climate change and severely affecting diverse communities. Addressing these impacts requires sustainable planning approaches that promote environmental and social balance. This research aims to develop a transferable...

FedCogniBand: cognition-aware predictive bandwidth allocation for communication-limited federated learning

Federated Learning (FL) facilitates collaborative model training among dispersed clients while safeguarding data privacy; yet, its practical implementation is significantly hindered by substantial uplink bandwidth restrictions and notable data heterogeneity. Even though there hav...

Cleft Alveolar Bone Grafting Using Mandibular Symphyseal Bone Graft and Resorbable Collagen Membrane: A CBCT-Based 3-Dimensional Morphometric Analysis

Objective Iliac cancellous bone graft has been regarded as the gold standard for secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG); however, it is associated with a high resorption rate and donor-site morbidity. This study aimed to evaluate the radiographic outcomes of SABG using a mandibu...

Alkaline hydrolysis of electrospun PAN/h-BN composite nanofibres: Structural and chemical baseline for ionic electroactive polymer applications

Electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) / hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) composite nanofibre membranes (h-BN: 0–40 wt%) were hydrolyzed with equimolar (2.0 M) NaOH and KOH, and the resulting fifteen compositions were characterized by SEM, ATR-FTIR, XRD, n -butanol porosimetry, and gr...

Forecast reconciliation of agricultural GHG emissions in Europe with fuzzy clustering

Abstract We propose a novel statistical procedure which combines forecasting reconciliation techniques and unsupervised clustering algorithms to forecast annual greenhouse gases emissions at the territorial level. Specifically, we aim at predicting future emissions from the agric...

"I, for One, Shall Make No Acknowledgment of Wrong": Race and Sectional Reconciliation in the Reunion of the Episcopal Church, 1865–1866

Abstract: This essay examines the circumstances surrounding the reunion of the Episcopal Church in October 1865. Unlike Protestants of other denominations, Episcopalians remained united during the antebellum period but split in 1861 due to political secession. Then, the Episcopal...

Retreat, Resilience, and Reorganization: Decoding the Post-Paleozoic Evolution of Brachiopods

The Paleozoic–Modern Evolutionary Fauna transition is defined by the ecological replacement of brachiopods by bivalves. However, it remains debated whether post-Paleozoic brachiopods experienced a simple, continuous global decline or a complex macroevolutionary reorganization. Pr...

Reducing Computational Cost in Long-Term Simulations of Multiscale Cellular Mechanobiology

Abstract The long-term simulation of biological systems at the cellular level presents a significant computational challenge due to pronounced multiscale behavior and severe numerical stiffness. While implicit solvers offer improved stability in solving stiff systems, they can in...

A (p,q)-adic Generalization of the Collatz Conjecture — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Collatz conjecture generalized to (p,q)-adic analysis, revealing a framework for studying iterative dynamics over mixed-radix number systems. | MATH: The standard Collatz map: \( T(n) = n/2 \) if \( n \) even, \( T(n) = 3n+1 \) if \( n \) odd. Generalized to (p,q)-adic:...

Wastewater-BasedEpidemiology of Sexually TransmittedPathogens Across Scales

Abstract Wastewater-based epidemiology for sexually transmitted pathogens Chlamydia trachomatis (chlamydia), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonorrhea), and Treponema pallidum (syphilis) is sparse compared to viral targets despite their public health significance. We used multiplex, digit...
