φ-Cascade Brillouin Zone Hierarchy in E8-Mapped Superfluid Lattices — E8 Intelligence Research
The 240 E8 root vectors partition into eight concentric shells of 30 vectors each, and when projected onto reciprocal space these shells define a nested Brillouin zone hierarchy where each successive zone is scaled by φ⁻¹. In superfluid helium-3 confined to E8-symmetric optical l...

Violence as Capital: an Analytical Brief
Abstract I develop the notion of capital of violence, arguing that targeted physical force is the fifth, “forgotten capital” in Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of the four species of capital (economic, cultural, social and symbolic). Violence is a form of capital because it allows its p...

Dynamic Degenerate Fiber Bundle Emergent Spacetime Model
This paper proposes the Dynamic Degenerate Fiber Bundle–Emergent Spacetime (DDFB-EST) model as an exploratory framework linking differential geometry, cosmological evolution, biological differentiation, consciousness states, and selected concepts from Daoist internal alchemy. A s...

A Concise Framework for AI-Driven Blockchain: Integrating DRL Consensus and GNN Security Auditing
This research introduces a novel, high-performance hybrid framework merging Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) for dynamic consensus optimization with Graph Neural Networks (GNN) for advanced smart contract security auditing. Traditional blockchain architectures frequently struggl...

Artemisinin and its derivatives possess anti-malarial as well as anti-cancer properties against various malignancies. However, their clinical application as anti-cancer agents is limited by several factors, most notably a lack of tumor selectivity. To address this limitation, we...

Abstract Insomnia and anxiety frequently co-occur with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). This study examined short-term changes in depression, anxiety, and insomnia symptoms post-ketamine in TRD and their inter-relationships. Seventy-one patients with TRD were assessed at bas...

Preventable in-hospital deaths due to adverse events: a retrospective case record review study
Abstract Background There is no single parameter that describes the level of patient safety in hospitals. Among options, retrospective case record review (RCRR) is an established method for analysing in-hospital deaths to determine the percentage that were preventable. The assess...

Fuzzy-logic enhanced internet of things model for uncertainty-adaptive medical image segmentation
Deep learning (DL) models for brain tumour segmentation (BTS) typically produce a fixed decision boundary and do not allow the uncertainty they estimate to impact the segmentation decision (SD). This work presents a FUZIONet-Med: A Fuzzy Uncertainty-Adaptive IoT Edge Intelligence...

Closing the Gap in Menopause Education
Menopause is a universal experience among women and all those seeking gynecologic care, yet most physicians—including obstetrician–gynecologists—report inadequate training on menopause-related care. As a result, people experiencing menopause often navigate the physical, social, a...
