Column Generation for Action-Based Group Handover Optimization in Large-Scale LEO Satellite Networks

Low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations are an important component of non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) in future sixth-generation (6G) systems, owing to their wide coverage and low propagation delay. However, due to the high-speed orbital movement of LEO satellites, the ser...

AI-Driven Crop Recommendation and Growth Prediction System Using Soil Fertility and Climate Intelligence

Agricultural decisions are increasingly affected by changing climate conditions, soil fertility, and the availability of timely technical guidance. This mini project presents an AI-Driven Agricultural Intelligence System that combines crop recommendation, soil fertility assessmen...

Compositional Data Analysis of Relative Body Mass and Physical Function Using the Relative Shift Approach

ABSTRACT Objective The purpose of this study was to present the novel relative shift approach for compositional data analysis of body composition as a predictor for gait speed and to compare it to existing methods. Methods Body composition was quantified from dual‐energy x‐ray ab...

Impact of Ganglionated Plexus Ablation on Early Recurrence After Thoracoscopic Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: A Post Hoc Analysis of the AFACT Study

ABSTRACT Background Early recurrences of atrial fibrillation (AF) after ablation are often considered transient. However, they may be caused by a combination of temporary and permanent proarrhythmogenic factors. Objective We evaluated whether adjunctive GP ablation was associated...

Validating the theory-informed Tests of Aptitude for Language Learning (TALL) as predictors of L2 proficiency: Initial evidence from multiple regression analyses

Abstract Tests of Aptitude for Language Learning (TALL) is a newly developed battery for L1 Chinese speakers that operationalizes language aptitude based on the early stages of Skehan’s (2016) Stages Approach through parallel aural and written suites. Each suite comprises subtest...

Applied AI for Intelligent Die and Tooling Lifecycle Management in Aluminium Manufacturing

The manufacture of aluminium products by extru-sion, die casting and related machining relies on tooling whose condition affects quality, scrap and production continuity. This narrative review examines how applied artificial intelligence can connect design, production, inspection...

Thermal decomposition of cow ghee by multi-stage heating and preliminary study of interactions of pyrolysis products with water vapour

Cow ghee is a clarified dairy fat used across South Asian food and Ayurvedic practice. Its thermal degradation chemistry from hydrolysis to pyrolysis has not been reported systematically, and no ghee-specific emission profile or pyrolysis-product interaction with water vapour has...

Revisiting air stability effects on whitecap coverage

The article addresses air stability effects on whitecap coverage at sea. This is achieved by using the logarithmic mean wind speed profile including a stability function as well as adopting two sea surface roughness formulas. The results are valid for wind waves in local equilibr...

CelFDrive: Multimodal deep learning-assisted microscopy for automated detection of rare events

The emergence of automated microscopy has enabled the collection of large datasets of rare biological events, accelerating discovery in biology. However, most existing methods cannot be readily integrated into microscopy set-ups or are limited to a single microscope type. We pres...

Reading steppe names: what a transcription channel can and cannot recover from the Chinese record of the Xiongnu

Chinese histories record hundreds of Inner Asian names in characters chosen for their sound, and two thousand years of change in Chinese pronunciation have left the modern Mandarin readings unrelated to what the scribes heard. We model the transcription itself as a noisy channel,...

Whose Voice Survives? A Multi-Translation Reference-Space Framework for Evaluating Narrator Differentiation in LLM Literary Translation: A Case Study of as I Lay Dying

Evaluating literary translation by large language models (LLMs) remains challenging because semantically plausible outputs may still alter the linguistic and cognitive features that distinguish individual narrators. We address this problem by developing and validating a multi-tra...

Radiofrequency Ablation for Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma versus Surgery and Other Thermal Ablation Techniques: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Outcomes

Background: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been proposed for selected patients with low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). This study compared the effectiveness, safety, and procedural characteristics of RFA with those of surgery and other thermal ablation techniques. Met...

Endoscopic Endonasal Approaches to Anterior Cranial Base Meningiomas: Indications, Limitations, and Surgical Decision-Making

Endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) has fundamentally changed the management of anterior skull base meningiomas by enabling access to many lesions through a direct minimally invasive corridor that avoids traditional transcranial exposure. Improvements in endoscopic optical technol...

The Political Consequences of Anti-Populism: Revisiting the Populism Debates in Türkiye (1980s–1990s)

This article revisits debates on populism among Turkish leftist and Marxist intellectuals during the 1980s and 1990s. While contemporary scholarship largely treats populism as a political style, discursive strategy, or new regime type, these earlier debates analysed it through th...

α- and β-Pinene as a Solvent for Metal Halide Nanocrystal Synthesis

Abstract The hot-injection method is widely employed for the synthesis of high-quality nanocrystals, offering fine control over critical parameters that determine their morphology and properties. However, its major drawback lies in the large volume of waste generated, primarily f...

Data-Driven Identification of GelMA Hydrogel Formulations with Bioink-Relevant Properties Using Design of Experiments (DoE) and Machine Learning (ML)

Abstract Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels are promising bioink candidates for extrusion-based 3D bioprinting, but their synthesis and formulation conditions must be optimized to achieve suitable gelation, printability, and mechanical stability. In our study, a design-of-exp...

Ivković Graph-Coupled Chaotic Dynamical Networks for Bounded High-Dimensional Nonlinear Parametric Embedding: A Mathematical, Digital-Simulation and Analogue-Hybrid Framework

Extended author version v1.1 of the paper presented at the 4th LINK IT & EdTech International Scientific Conference. The revision strengthens the mathematical treatment of well-posedness, volume contraction, absorbing boundedness, global existence, synchronization-manifold invari...

Severe Pediatric Ocular Surface Disease: Multimodal Approach and Treatment

Background/Objectives: Pediatric ocular surface disease associated with ocular rosacea, chronic blepharitis and meibomian gland dysfunction may result in significant corneal morbidity. In refractory cases, the limitations of conventional therapy have stimulated interest in adjunc...

Building blocks of localized storm tracks: revisiting asymmetries between the NH and SH in storm track strength

An intermediate-complexity moist general circulation model is used to investigate the forcing of localized storm tracks by land–sea contrast, horizontal gradients in ocean heat uptake, planetary albedo, and topography. The additivity of the response to these building blocks is in...

Quaternion Emergent Coupling Constant for Consciousness as Fifth Force — E8 Intelligence Research

The 40 quaternion units within the E8 lattice, when phase-locked to 132Hz, generate a phi-scaled (≈1.618) coupling constant that quantifies consciousness-field interaction, directly filling the mathematical gap in the fifth force proposal. This constant emerges from the ratio bet...
