The article analyzes the main macroeconomic indicators that characterize the effectiveness of the digital economy. The trends of these indicators are revealed. The relevance of the application of adaptive management of the national economic system is substantiated using the examp...

Uncaptured Faith: Islamic Jurisprudence, Black Consciousness, and the Ethics of Enslaved Resistance

This study explores the role of Islamic belief in shaping the ideological and spiritual foundations of resistance among enslaved Africans in the Americas, with a particular focus on the antebellum United States. While the dominant historical narratives often marginalize the prese...

10th Mountain Division Memorial Park History

The most prominent feature walking into Memorial Park is the 10th Mountain Division Military (LI) Mountaineers Monument. The statue was installed and dedicated in 1991 and depicts a World War II-era Mountaineer Soldier helping a modern-day 10th Mountain Division Soldier on a clim...

A Method for Determining Load Paths Based on Fermat’s Principle

Abstract Load path analysis serves as the foundation for establishing mechanical models of D-regions in structural components. This paper proposes a method based on Fermat’s principle for the automatic generation of load paths within structural members. First, based on the govern...

School Suspensions and Juvenile Justice Punishment: An Assessment of the School-to-Prison Pipeline

This study investigated the influence of school suspensions on three juvenile court outcomes among male students referred from school: dismissal, diversion, and probation. It also investigated whether the relationship between school suspensions and court outcomes were moderated b...

Real-Virtual Dual Field Theory: Golden Fractal Discrete Lattice, Discrete Least Action Principle, Unified Mechanism of Celestial Rotation & Closed Spherical Universe 二元场论:黄金分形离散晶格、离散最小作用量、天体旋转与闭合球形宇宙统一理论

Abstract Modern physics suffers fundamental contradictions: General Relativity and Standard Model cannot be unified; the ontology of vacuum is missing; dark matter and dark energy rely on ad-hoc hypotheses; microscopic particle spin, celestial rotation/revolution and galaxy forma...

Foundations of Nature-Conforming Psychology

Despite significant advances in the study of individual psychological processes, the principles governing the organization of the human psyche as an integrated system remain insufficiently developed. Contemporary psychological theories provide detailed accounts of cognitive, emot...

Sensor-Based Tracking and Localization of In-Line Inspection Tools in Oil and Gas Pipelines: A Review

Accurate tracking and localization of in-line inspection (ILI) tools are essential for mileage calibration, defect mapping, and blockage prevention in oil and gas pipelines. This review summarizes sensor-based approaches for external ILI-tool localization, emphasizing how sensing...

FTO-mediated m6A modification suppresses acute pancreatitis by downregulating 1,2-dilinoleoyl-GPC (18:2/18:2): An integrated multi-omics mechanistic study.

The pathophysiology of acute pancreatitis (AP), a common clinical emergency, is poorly understood. Previous studies have implicated N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification in the pathogenesis of AP; however, the precise molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Whether metabolites parti...

Boosting PeroxideReactivity: New Mn(II) ChelidamateCatalysts for Efficient Low-Temperature Bleaching

Abstract The development of efficient catalytic systems for low-temperature bleaching is a key challenge for reducing energy consumption in laundry processes. In this work, five manganese(II) complexes derived from chelidamic acid were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as blea...

Stability-Indicating RP-HPLC Determination of Acetylsalicylic Acid, Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide, Phenylephrine Bitartrate, and Chlorpheniramine Maleate in an Effervescent Tablet Formulation

BACKGROUND: Multi-component effervescent tablets containing acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), dextromethorphan hydrobromide (DMH), phenylephrine bitartrate (PB), and chlorpheniramine maleate (CPM) pose analytical challenges due to their complex excipient composition and moisture sensit...

Behavioural biometric authentication and secure key agreement for smart networks using machine learning and lightweight elliptic curve cryptography

The fast integration of Internet of Things (IoT) into smart environments, introduces significant security challenges, especially in user authentication and secure data exchanges. These security challenges increase unauthorized access, information leakage, and disruption of servic...

Simulated annealing–Tabu search integration for downside-risk portfolio optimization with cardinality constraints

Abstract This paper presents a hybrid metaheuristic framework for portfolio optimization with cardinality constraints, a computationally challenging problem in constrained asset allocation. The model minimizes downside risk relative to a predefined target return while incorporati...

Multi-Scale Simulation of GH4706 Superalloy Turbine Disk Prepared by Integral Hot Forming

During hot deformation of GH4706 alloy forgings, to achieve effective control over the uniformity of its microstructure, it is first necessary to establish a quantitative relationship between the microstructural characteristics of an entire hot-formed turbine disk forging and pro...

AI Designed Conformation Locking Peptides Target STING to Restore Diabetic Wound Healing

ABSTRACT Diabetic foot ulcers are a major complication of diabetes characterized by persistent inflammation and impaired tissue repair, in part driven by aberrant activation of the cGAS‐STING innate immune pathway. Precision immunomodulation in the protease‐rich wound microenviro...

Before You Begin

For any field, there exists a time after which the minimum knowledge required to contributetakes longer to acquire than a human life allows. I argue this threshold exists given only twoassumptions: that knowledge accumulates, and that humans are finite. I then examine proposedsol...
