CosmoBeating • Fungal Geometry and Topology — Paper IV: Spacetime Discretisation and Probabilistic Ontology

CosmoBeating — Fungal Geometry and Topology (CB-FGnT)A Complex-Systems Reading of Fungal Networks This is a short, non-technical companion to the 15-paper CB-FGnT series. It is written for readers with a background in mycology, network science, or complex systems — not for reader...

Do Biological Maturity and Motor Performance Influence Perceived Player Quality? Evidence from U-15 Soccer Players

This study had two primary objectives: first, to examine the influence of biological maturity status and motor performance indicators on coach-assessed player quality in U-15 soccer players; and second, to explore differences in estimated biological age between players of differe...

Bacillus velezensis and Sinorhizobium meliloti Form a Functional Complementary Alliance to Alleviate the Impact of Salt Stress on Alfalfa Growth

Salt stress is a prevalent abiotic stress worldwide, which markedly inhibits crop growth and triggers yield losses. In this study, salt-tolerant plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria of Cerasus humilis—Bacillus pumilus and B. velezensis, which possess nitrogen-fixing, phosphate-so...

Maternal High-Fat Diet Induces Sex- and Estrous Cycle–Specific Glial Dysregulation in the Peripheral Offspring Retina

Purpose: A maternal high-fat diet (mHFD) induces metabolic disturbances that lead to inflammatory responses in the offspring's brain. The retina, as part of the central nervous system, may be similarly affected. This study aimed to determine how mHFD affects microglial and Müller...

Mapping player-led localization modding: ‘Hangul Patch’ as fan translation, modding, and cultural mediation in Korean game culture

This article examines Korea’s ‘Hangul Patch’ scene as a player-led localization modding culture through which players mediate access to untranslated games, reorganize collaborative labor, and sustain local game culture across time. Rather than treating ‘Hangul Patch’ as a set of...

Optical isolation and circulation using quantum frequency conversion on a chip

Breaking electromagnetic reciprocity enables directional control of light and is essential for both classical and quantum photonic systems. However, realizing integrated optical nonreciprocity that simultaneously combines low loss, broad bandwidth, and compatibility with quantum...

Analytical validity of CD20 as a biomarker in breast cancer patients using tissue microarrays and whole slide sections

Background Clinical utility of biomarker-based treatment depends on both analytical and clinical validity. CD20+ B-lymphocytes often form nodular lymphoid structures within tumors, presenting potential analytical issues if using tissue microarrays (TMA). We compared CD20 expressi...

The Hidden Burden of Parkinson's Disease in Cambodia: A Call to Action

ABSTRACT Parkinson's disease (PD) is an emerging global public health concern, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), yet it remains under‐recognized in Cambodia. The absence of reliable epidemiological data, limited specialist workforce, delayed diagnosis, and...

Uncertainty-Aware Vision-Based Landing-Site Perception for Autonomous UAV Landing in Urban Environments

Autonomous UAV landing in urban scenes requires a perception module that can identify candidate landing surfaces, reject structural and dynamic hazards, and express uncertainty before a downstream controller commits to a landing maneuver. This study reformulates UAV landing perce...

E8-Φ Spatial-Time Harmonization for Emergent Gravity — E8 Intelligence Research

Extrapolating the φ-coup coupling from E8 Vortex Braiding, this principle redefines gravity as a spatial-time resonance arising from the 240 E8 root vectors modulated at 132Hz. The spinor vortices generate φ-synchronized curvature fields that propagate as entangled geometric harm...

The Convergent Operation: A Fabricated Grievance, the Belief It Was Built to Spend, and What Remains of the Alliance, 2017-2026

For the better part of a decade the United States has accused its closest allies of a debt they do not owe. This is not an exaggeration, and it is not a matter on which economists disagree. The 2024 balance with Canada was $35.7 billion. It was described in public, for more than...

The Quantum Structure Sub-Programme

The quantum structure sub-programme comprises three companion papers on the binary icosahedral group ${2I}$, plus one independently published result. Q1 proves an exact, unconditional Fourier-support rigidity theorem in the finite Weil representation of the Heisenberg group, with...

Language-like statistical structure arises in learned signaling: evidence from birdsong

All languages have statistically coherent subsequences (e.g., words) whose frequency distribution follows a power law. These properties facilitate language learning in humans, making them good candidates for arising through cultural transmission as a way to help faithful transmis...

Severe Gastrointestinal Disease in a Dog Presenting With Hypoadrenocorticism‐Like Electrolyte Derangements Due to Protothecosis

OBJECTIVE: To describe systemic protothecosis as a novel differential for hypoadrenocorticism-like clinicopathologic findings. CASE SUMMARY: A 3-year-old neutered female Labrador Retriever was evaluated for an episode of acute lethargy, hyporexia, and ataxia. The dog had a prior...

Carotid Web: An Underrecognized Cause of Ischemic Stroke in a Young Patient

Abstract Carotid web is an underdiagnosed cause of ischemic stroke, particularly in young and middle-aged patients without major atherosclerotic risk factors. It is characterized by a shelf-like intraluminal filling defect arising from the posterior wall of the carotid bulb, prom...

The Drifting Logs – Original Strategic Board Game for Education, Spatial Thinking, and Environmental Discovery

The Drifting Logs is an original strategic and educational board game created by Doumbia Amara in Côte d’Ivoire. The game transforms the natural phenomenon of tree logs drifting, rotating, and colliding on rivers into an interactive experience based on strategy, spatial reasoning...

Genome-Wide Association Study and Genomic Selection for Average Daily Gain in Ashidan Yak

Average daily gain (ADG) is a core quantitative trait determining the economic benefits of Ashidan yak, a polled new breed adapted to cold barn feeding on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. Unraveling its complex genetic architecture is crucial for early molecular breeding selection. In...

Relief Without Transformation? Conversational AI as an External Regulator and the Displacement of Perceived Need for Professional Psychological Help

General-purpose conversational artificial intelligence (AI) has, within a few years, become a widely used means of seeking emotional support. This paper develops a theoretical hypothesis model of how such use may affect the perceived need for professional psychological help. The...

Advanced research eyes potential of psychedelics for complex cases

A team of researchers in Connecticut is advancing inquiry into the potential of psychedelics in mental health treatment through an ongoing study involving patients with complex conditions. A psilocybin trial that initially recruited military veterans, first responders and health...
