Abstract Four-electron aqueous zinc–iodine (Zn–I2) batteries with I–/I0/I+ conversion could achieve high energy density, but the development is largely impeded by I+ hydrolysis and sluggish redox kinetics. Here, by introducing 1-ethylpyridine hydrobromide (EB) as an electrolyte a...

Abstract: 1. This paper constructs the Prime Vortex Dynamic System (PDSM) and establishes an eight-ridge prime conch topological structure constrained by dual modulo-30 and modulo-210 periodic boundaries, breaking the coarse-grained limitations of traditional prime geometric mode...

Abstract Hydroponic systems are important tools in plant research, as the roots of plants cultivated in hydroponic systems can be easily observed, treated, and sampled. However, the application of many hydroponic systems in research is constrained by species specificity, high cos...

Sex-related differences in striatal functional connectivity in early Parkinson’s disease
Abstract A sex-specific pattern within the dopaminergic pathways may underlie the clinical divergences between male and female patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) over the disease course. One hundred forty-seven drug-naive PD patients and 38 controls were enrolled. Anatomical...

Demonstratingthe Chemoselective Lewis Acid Activityof Pyridine(Diimine) Bismuth Cations
Abstract Herein, we describe the preparation of a library of cationic bismuth(III) pyridine(diimine) compounds and the assessment of their Lewis acidity measured by their interaction with phosphine oxides, acid halides, and ketones. These bismuth compounds have acceptor number va...

Abstract Purpose We hypothesized that a nursing navigator intervention with needs assessment, distress evaluation, and emotional support from diagnosis to follow-up would improve self-efficacy compared with standard care in colorectal cancer. Methods Patients with a physician-ver...

AI Saturation-Splitting Hypothesis: Structural Limits of Self-Improving AI
Recursive self-improvement is often discussed as though an AI system could increase its intelligence without limit. This paper proposes a different possibility. If intelligence includes not only performance but also the capacity to preserve operational identity while processing a...

We test a recently proposed algebraic resolution of the quantum measurement problem by deriving the fine-structure constant from the same dissipative collapse dynamics, and by verifying that the resulting stochastic collapse reproduces the Schrödinger distribution for the hydroge...

Abstract Background Urban green roofs are increasingly introduced to enhance urban biodiversity and ecosystem services, yet their role in shaping antimicrobial resistance in cities remains unclear. Using long-read metagenomic sequencing, we characterized antimicrobial resistance...

The decipherment of the Indus Valley Script (c. 3300–1900 BCE) has long been stalled by "meaning-hunting"—the erroneous attempt to map signs directly to whole words of specific language families (e.g., Dravidian or Indo-Aryan). This paper introduces a paradigm shift via the 'Parm...

Matrix Gla Protein is a novel regulator of TGFβ–dependent fibroblast activation and kidney fibrosis
Abstract Kidney fibrosis is the pathologic hallmark of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is driven by fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transformation (FMT), excessive extracellular matrix accumulation, and persistent activation of transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) signaling. Although...

Abstract Trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole (SXT) remains central to melioidosis eradication therapy, yet the genetic basis of resistance evolution in Burkholderia pseudomallei is not fully defined. Using Burkholderia thailandensis as a biosafe surrogate, we subjected populations to s...

Background. Volumetric images are often labelled and scored one slice at a time. Shortcut learning, acquisition confounding and the inflation caused by slice-level splits are documented, and a pixel-free positional baseline is itself prior art; what is unmeasured is how much of a...

Introduction Brown Buttabean Motivation (BBM) is a community-based, Māori- and Pacific-led organisation providing free exercise classes and other support services in Aotearoa New Zealand. Ongoing participant engagement is critical for the success of community lifestyle programmes...

Abstract Background and aims Sustainable citrus production requires nitrogen (N) management strategies that account for soil–plant nutrient interactions, particularly those affecting calcium (Ca) nutrition. In fertigated citrus orchards, strategies differing in NO₃⁻:NH₄⁺ balance...

Abstract Purpose To systematically review and meta-analyze the efficacy of redifferentiation therapy in patients with radioactive iodine (RAI)-refractory thyroid cancer. Methods PubMed and Scopus databases were comprehensively searched up to January 2026 to identify clinical stud...

StateWeaver: Tracing State Changes in Adaptive Molecular Dynamics
Adaptive molecular dynamics produces many short simulations that begin from frames of earlier runs. This branching improves sampling, but it makes a simple question hard to answer: when a state-transition probability changes, which simulations produced the change? StateWeaver joi...

Ctrl + Alt+Reveal: Influences of Age, Gender, Income, and Mood on Online Self-Disclosure
Abstract Self-disclosure (SD), or the process of sharing personal information with others, plays a key role in the formation and maintenance of relationships in online spaces. While previous research has consistently demonstrated the importance of individual demographic, mood and...

Organ damage progression in antiphospholipid antibody carriers: a longitudinal cohort study
Abstract Background The DIAPS scale is a useful tool for quantifying organ damage in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). However, little is known about the kinetics of organ damage in antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) carriers. This study aimed to characterize damage progression in aP...

Background The transition from surface fire to crown fire depends on various factors, including atmospheric conditions and forest characteristics. Aims In this study, we investigate the role of fuel moisture content in the transition from surface fire to crown fire in a pine fore...
