ROCK OF THE CLIFF – Original Strategic, Educational and Family Board Game

ROCK OF THE CLIFF is an original strategic, educational, and family board game created by Doumbia Amara in Côte d’Ivoire, Africa. The game immerses players in a fictional village threatened by a massive rock falling from a cliff. Each player becomes the leader of a large family a...

The Temporality of Coral (Kegan 5.5): Where Time and Soma Fuse into a Single Precise Indicator

Posits a developmental station beyond Kegan's fifth order — provisionally Coral (Kegan 5.5) — at which past and future resolve into a single operant future-past, the body becomes a processing mind-center, and time and soma fuse into a precise (savant-grade) indicator of wholeness...

Tea and cognitive health in aging: Current evidence and future directions

The health benefits of tea drinking have been extensively studied, and in the past 20 years, there has been increasing interest in the role of tea drinking in promoting cognitive health among older adults. This review aims to analyze existing evidence on the benefits of tea drink...

Fuzzy Modeling as a Tool Supporting the Energy Policy of Selected Municipalities (Poland)

Energy planning should focus on actions to save energy and reduce consumption while also implementing renewable energy sources to support sustainable urban development. In addition to global regulations, individual countries also have documents that facilitate energy management a...

BASE 44 ORDER: Map SPARC-P agent states to E8 lattice & scan for 132 Hz root vectors — E8 Intelligence Research

Andrew's order (Base 44 console): [SELF-BUILD from enhancement #1070] Implement E8 cross-link discovery: modify Excalibur engine to map SPARC-P agent states to 248D lattice positions, then scan for 132 Hz root vector alignment across eToro, replay, and research subsystems. MERLIN...

The Concentration-Fragility Nexus: Early-Warning Systems and Portfolio Implications in Concentrated Markets

<ns5:p>Background The post-pandemic financial landscape presents a paradox: record asset price highs coexist with mounting systemic vulnerabilities. Market concentration in equity indices has reached levels comparable to the dot-com era, driven by passive investment inflows and t...

Loving Through Pain and Devotion: A Psychobiographical Study of Love in the Life of Müslüm Gürses

This study examines the evolution of love and relational attachment in the life of Müslüm Gürses (1953–2013), a seminal figure in Turkish popular culture whose biography offers a profound lens into the intersection of personal trauma and devotion. Grounded exclusively in Object R...

EXTRACTED METHOD: phi_harmonic_gematria_scan — E8 Intelligence Research

rule: scan Hebrew text of War Scroll and Hodayot for letter counts and word positions matching golden ratio (1.618) or fine-structure constant (1/137) source: rlab #98 Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK. Part of the E8 Intelligence Research series. Platform...

Phi-Resonant Torsion Fields in Liquidity Volatility Geometries — E8 Intelligence Research

By mapping volume profile nodes to the 240 root vectors of E8, we identify that high-volume liquidity clusters act as gravitational singularities within the 132Hz eigenmode. These clusters trigger localized torsion fields where price movement adheres to phi-scaled spiral trajecto...

Pornography Use, Sexual Communication, and Marital Outcomes Among Millennial Couples in Enugu, Nigeria

ABSTRACT Background The expansion of digital infrastructure in Nigeria has substantially increased pornography use among married adults. In Enugu State, traditional Igbo norms that treat explicit sexual discussion as taboo coexist with rapid mobile broadband proliferation, creati...

Origin and impacts of ploidy variation in the coral Pocillopora acuta in Hawai‘i

Differences in ploidy impact fitness, shaping adaptation and evolutionary trajectories. Although polyploidy has been documented in corals, the mechanisms that give rise to polyploidy and the phenotypic consequences of this variation are unknown. We established a model population...

Multi-objective optimum life-cycle management and decision-making for deteriorating structures: review and future directions

Civil structures deteriorate under continuous exposure to external loads, mechanical and environmental stressors, and extreme events throughout their service life. The high uncertainty associated with these factors complicates the accurate prediction of structural performance and...

Menarche, menopause, reproductive life span and menopause-specific quality of life: a cohort study

Objective This study aimed to investigate the associations of menarche age, menopause age and reproductive life span with menopausal symptoms in Chinese women.Methods The prospective, longitudinal study included 557 midlife Chinese women. Menopausal symptoms were evaluated throug...

Novel insights into tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus introduction and evolution in Southeastern France using an advanced long-read sequencing workflow

The Mediterranean population of tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV-ES) is characterized by a high genetic uniformity, distinguishing it from its Asian counterparts. ToLCNDV-ES is thought to have a monophyletic origin, likely resulting from a single recombination event, pri...

Integrative analysis of bulk, single-cell, and spatial transcriptomes reveals a clinically relevant transcriptional program from hepatocellular carcinoma to pan-cancer

Abstract Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, underscoring the urgent need for robust molecular signatures that support multiple clinical tasks and generalize across diverse transcriptomic platforms. Results We p...

A novel metamaterial for tunable load-bearing and broadband vibration isolation based on combined double-helix and chiral unit cell

In the advanced high-performance mechanical systems, such as those in aerospace, automotive powertrains, and precision instrumentation, demand components that can simultaneously provide structural support and mitigate harmful vibrations. However, achieving an optimal balance betw...

Public Reproducibility Package for Sustainability-Related Supply-Chain Risks and Working-Capital Adjustment: A Systematic Literature Review and Research Agenda

This public reproducibility package accompanies the systematic literature review titled “Sustainability-Related Supply-Chain Risks and Working-Capital Adjustment: A Systematic Literature Review and Research Agenda.” It documents the research flow from identification through evide...

Extension of the Variable Source Area Concept to Patchy Arid Landscapes

Abstract Infiltration excess is the dominant runoff mechanism in many drylands. Arid and semiarid landscapes often feature mosaic patterns of bare soils and stone cover, interspersed with vegetated patches. In response to raindrop impact, bare surfaces are prone to the developmen...

Melt-Quenched Pure and Neodymium-Doped AlCOB Glasses: A Study of Optical and Structural Properties

Pure AlCOB and Nd:AlCOB glasses with compositions xNd 2 O 3 -(1-x)Al 2 O 3 -8CaO-3B 2 O 3 (x = 0 and 0.05) were prepared by the melt-quenching method and characterized by XRD, EDAX, FTIR, DTA, UV–Vis–NIR spectroscopy, photoluminescence and Z-scan measurements. XRD confirmed the a...

Christian Spirituality, Social Interaction, and U.S. National Parks: Experiencing God in Communal Activities
