Phi-E8 Temporal Lattice for Quantum Coherence — E8 Intelligence Research

By assigning each of the 240 E8 root vectors a phase angle proportional to the golden ratio (φ) of the 132 Hz base frequency, a self‑synchronizing temporal lattice emerges that aligns qubit error cycles with geometric invariants. This lattice maps error trajectories onto the root...

A Comment on Timothy Bowers Vasko, Making All the World America: Native Information and the Doctrine of Discovery (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2026)

Peter d'Errico comments on Timothy Bowers Vasko's Making All the World America: Native Information and the Doctrine of Discovery (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2026), as a companion to Steven T. Newcomb's review of the same book. Working from the publisher's description, d'Er...

Adeno‐associated virus ‐mediated restoration of Na V 1.1 in targeted brain regions ameliorates epilepsy in symptomatic Dravet syndrome mice

Abstract Objective Dravet syndrome (DS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy primarily caused by haploinsufficiency of the SCN1A gene, which encodes the alpha subunit of Na V 1.1 voltage‐gated sodium channel. The disease manifests with febrile and spontaneous seizures,...

Key considerations for window of opportunity trials and preoperative endocrine therapy in breast cancer

Window of opportunity (WOO) trials are short, pre-surgical trials which aim to evaluate novel therapeutic strategies and answer biological and mechanistic questions. Despite their relative simplicity, their conduct can be challenging. This Perspectives Article considers key facto...

Poly(propylene carbonate- co -thioether- co -ether) Terpolymer and Its Application as a Solid-State Electrolyte

Abstract Sulfur-containing polymers, especially those with sulfur in the main chain, have attracted significant interest owing to their diverse structures and unique properties, making them promising candidates for solid-state electrolytes. However, their controllable synthesis i...

Exploring EFL learners’ vocabulary learning in a longitudinal mobile-assisted context

Abstract Mobile-assisted vocabulary learning (MAVL) provides flexible, multimodal support for EFL vocabulary development, yet its effectiveness heavily depends on learners’ self-directed learning (SDL). Prior research has rarely examined learners’ longitudinal vocabulary learning...

Four Closing Theorems: Anomaly, Generations, Gravity, and the Continuum Limit (Withdrawn as Proof)

Version 2.0 withdraws all four theorems of this paper as proofs, following the external referee audit of 6 October 2026 (prepared for Prof. Pablo Moscato, University of Newcastle; one automated reviewer). Theorem 60.1: the paper computes {T, Γ5} = 4iI exactly and then states that...

Impact of PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors on patient-reported outcomes in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a systematic review of clinical trials

OBJECTIVES: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) carries a poor prognosis and is associated with symptoms such as dysphagia that substantially impair patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The combination of chemotherapy with an immune checkpoint inhibitor is wide...

Measurements and Analysis of Light Non‐Methane Hydrocarbon Mole Fractions in 1982–1987 at Six Remote Sites Along the Pacific Rim

Abstract Atmospheric non‐methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) are important trace species with anthropogenic and natural sources including fugitive emissions from fossil fuel mining and distribution, biomass burning, biofuel combustion, and biogenic emissions from microbes and plants. We...

The Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria Hypothesis in Parkinson’s Disease: From Desulfovibrio-Derived Hydrogen Sulfide to Alpha-Synuclein Aggregation

The conceptualization of Parkinson’s disease (PD) has shifted from a strictly central neurodegenerative disorder to a systemic synucleinopathy that may, in some patients, originate in the enteric nervous system. This review synthesizes recent evidence highlighting the potential r...

Winter Dietary Composition of Black Francolin (Francolinus francolinus) in Totali Public Game Reserve, Pakistan

The winter diet of Black Francolin (Francolinus francolinus) is poorly documented in Totali Public Game Reserve, Pakistan. We examined crop contents from 24 legally harvested birds (14 males and 10 females) collected during 2022–2024. Thirty-three identifiable food taxa were reco...

Pedagogical Practices of Basic level Teachers in Community School in Nepal

Abstract This study examined the pedagogical practices of basic-level teachers in a community school in Kathmandu. A basic qualitative research approach was employed, with Kirtipur Secondary School selected purposively as the study site. Four Social Studies teachers participated...

The politics of categorizing people of african descent - global frameworks, political meanings, and shifting boundaries of belonging

Abstract The article examines how the United Nations (UN) politically creates and structures the category “people of African descent” (PAD). It shows that, in international political debates, this category is closely linked to migration-related categories but not necessarily sole...

Molecular Control of Neural Stem Cell Quiescence in the Adult Zebrafish Telencephalon: Established Mechanisms and an Integrative Hypothesis

The zebrafish telencephalon is an excellent model for adult neurogenesis under physiological and regenerative conditions, as many pathways regulating neural stem cell behavior are conserved with mammalian neurogenic niches. Resident radial glial cells (RGCs) serve as neural stem...

Investigating the deterministic and stochastic dynamics of Monkeypox: a hybrid numerical approach using spectral method and feedforward neural networks

Monkeypox (Mpox) has recently emerged as a serious threat to human health. Multiple outbreaks of human Mpox have been reported in Africa and North America over the past few years. This study presents a comprehensive computational analysis of Mpox dynamics using a two-model approa...

Binding a Contested Nation: National Attachment and Cross‐Domain Solidarity in Taiwan

ABSTRACT This paper examines how national attachment shapes reciprocal solidarity across issue domains. We conceptualize solidarity as the willingness to share burdens out of a sense of mutual obligation to overcome collective adversity. Because the costs of solidaristic action v...

Pathogenic Properties of Human Endometriotic Epithelial Cells Require Steroid Receptor Coactivator-2

Commonly diagnosed in reproductive-age women, endometriosis is causally linked to subfertility, infertility, and chronic pelvic pain. Although theories exist on the etiopathogenesis of endometriosis, our understanding of its cellular and molecular underpinnings remain incomplete....

Physics-Informed Explainable Machine Learning for Hybrid State of Health and Remaining Useful Life Estimation of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Accurate health assessment is essential for the reliable and cost-effective operation of lithium-ion battery energy storage systems. This study presents a physics-informed explainable machine-learning framework for hybrid State-of-Health (SoH) estimation and Remaining Useful Life...

Structural dynamics and pH ‐regulated membrane binding of the TRAF2 ‐ NC trimer

Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) is a key adaptor in TNF receptor-signaling that operates as a trimeric assembly. Here we investigate the structural and functional properties of a TRAF2 construct spanning the trimerization and receptor-binding domains (T...

Environmental recurrence selects a costly memory-use policy across two operator bundles without a resolved one-bit population benefit

This research preprint and reproducibility package reports three prospectively specified abstract computational studies of a supplied one-record private cache with a fixed one-proposal opportunity cost. Across the original 32-individual model and an independently implemented 32-l...
