Dimensional Asymptotics of Euler-Based Simulated Likelihood for Multidimensional Diffusions

A widely used simulation method for likelihood inference in discretely observed diffusions approximates each transition density by simulating an Euler scheme to one step before the observed endpoint and averaging the final Gaussian density. We show that this endpoint estimator is...

Mechanical properties of chemical treated pineapple leaf fiber reinforced polyester composites filled with nanoclay

Abstract This study investigates the mechanical performance of nanoclay-filled pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) reinforced polyester composites prepared using the hand lay-up technique followed by compression moulding. The influence of PALF content (5–25 wt.%), nanoclay loading (0–4 w...

Cross-KingdommiR5054 Delivery via Polygonum cuspidatum -Derived Nanoparticles Enhances Burn Wound Healingby Regulating Microvascular Environment

Abstract Deep partial-thickness burns are characterized by a self-perpetuating cycle of oxidative stress and inflammation that severely impedes healing. Here, we identified Polygonum cuspidatum-derived nanoparticles (PDNs) as a multifaceted nanotherapeutic that breaks this pathog...

Origin of the Eleusine indica population on the active volcanic Nishinoshima Island, Japan

Nishinoshima Island, located approximately 1,000 km south of mainland Japan and 130 km from the Ogasawara Islands, emerged as a new island due to volcanic activity in 1973. On this isolated island, grasses such as Eleusine indica and Portulaca oleracea have been observed growing,...

Design method for wide-speed-range variable geometry inlet based on one-dimensional model

Abstract The two-dimensional inlet, a critical component of scramjet engines, encounters substantial design challenges, particularly when operating over a wide-speed range. To accelerate the design process, a one-dimensional model-based methodology is proposed, encompassing three...

A historical journey through total knee arthroplasty: the evolutionary milestones

PURPOSE: This study aims to examine historical progressions to demonstrate how current debates in alignment philosophy, implant personalization, robotic surgery, and ligament management serve as direct extensions of past concepts. METHODS: The history of TKA was divided into four...

Sowing the Seeds of Sovereignty: A One Health Case Study of Food, Relationships, and Resilience in Somalia

Abstract In Somalia, food insecurity has been shaped by recurrent droughts and climate change, violent conflict, and political instability. For over 35 years, these drivers have undermined local food system autonomy, disrupted economic sovereignty, and entrenched dependence on in...

A heterogeneous multimodal ensemble framework for multi-omics breast cancer prognosis

Abstract Purpose Accurate breast cancer prognosis remains a major challenge in precision oncology due to tumor heterogeneity and the complexity of integrating high-dimensional multi-omics data. Although multimodal learning approaches have improved predictive performance by combin...

It’s Not Really the Words; It’s How They Land: Lived Experience Perspectives on the Use of Language and Labels in Mental Health

The language used to describe and discuss mental ill-health continues to evolve and improve, driven by advocacy and commitment to reducing the harmful effects of stigma. However, from a lived experience perspective, room for improvement remains. This project aimed to explore the...

Green Fabricationof Ultradurable Brass-Armored SuperhydrophobicSurfaces: Application in Liquid Transport for Water–Air Systems

Abstract An armored superhydrophobic surface was successfully fabricated on a brass mesh via an ultrasonically assisted etching process in dilute nitric acid and subsequent oxidation and growth of a hydrophobic infilling structure in an aqueous sodium laurate solution. The result...

Justifying Innovation under Structural Risk: Uterus Transplantation in Contemporary Sunni Bioethics

Abstract The ethical justification of emerging reproductive technologies requires attention not only to their immediate medical objectives but also to their foreseeable social consequences. Uterus transplantation (UTx) provides a particularly illuminating case within contemporary...

Fully tunable on-chip meta-generator for multidimensional Poincaré sphere mapping

Abstract The angular momentum of light can be elegantly mapped onto high-order Poincaré spheres, providing a powerful framework for describing structured light beams. Such beams have shown extraordinary potential across diverse applications, including high-capacity optical commun...

Biochemical and elemental composition stability of garlic (Allium sativum) under controlled 3.5 GHz radiofrequency exposure

Abstract The rapid deployment of 5G-enabled smart farming infrastructure has increased the likelihood of continuous radiofrequency (RF) exposure of agricultural crops. However, standardized baseline data describing molecular and elemental stability of food crops under controlled...

Dynamic Vacuum Theory (DVT) v20: Unified Master Monograph on Quantum Superfluid Vacuum Hydrodynamics from Galactic Rotation Curves to Cosmology

This monograph presents the consolidated mathematical formulation of the Dynamic Vacuum Theory (DVT) v20 Master Edition. Physical vacuum is modeled not as a stagnantgeometric void, but as a compressible, zero-viscosity quantum superfluid condensate characterized by zero-point flu...

Multiomics evidence reveals that a lower pH value may promote the aerobic deterioration of silage

King grass, cassava leaf, and stylo silages, which exhibited distinct aerobic deteriortaion characteristics, were used as research models to investigate the mechanisms underlying the deterioration of silage through the use of multiomics data

Investigation of the key parameters controlling microfracture propagation in the Upper Bakken shale oil

Abstract Microfractures generated by kerogen thermal maturation are among the most effective mechanisms for establishing hydraulic connectivity and hydrocarbon migration in organic-rich shales; however, the quantified roles of differential stress, kerogen geometry, and total orga...
