Ὁ Πενταμετρικὸς Κύκλος: A Nested Palindrome Encoding the Pythagorean Consonances

We present the Pentametric Cycle (Ὁ Πενταμετρικὸς Κύκλος), a structure generated by an integer-valued quadratic formula 𝔓(n), the Pentametric Formula: 𝔓(n) = (n² + 4C(m))/5, with m = 4n² mod 10 and C(m) = (26m − 5m²)/24. We show that the correction term C(m), the Interval Map, co...

Ultrathin high-performance circular polarizers based on MoOCl2/NbOCl2 van der Waals heterostructures

Circularly polarized light (CPL) holds immense promise for diverse applications, including 3D displays, quantum information processing, biosensing, and optical imaging. However, high-performance, ultrathin, and easily integrable devices for CPL manipulation and discrimination rem...

Effect of generative artificial intelligence training on the competencies of border guard agents.

This study assessed whether a generative artificial intelligence training model develops the professional competencies of border guard agents in training more than traditional instruction. A quasi-experimental pretest and posttest design was applied to 168 agents at a training sc...

Machine learning-based performance prediction and intelligent screening of compound collector for low-rank coal with varying slime contents

The traditional trial-and-error development of compound collectors for low-rank coal (LRC) flotation is inefficient, and the process is susceptible to slime interference. To address this, a data-driven machine learning (ML) strategy was proposed to predict and screen optimal coll...

Chiral Ionic Covalent Organic Framework Core‐Shell Composite Material CD‐COF‐Li@SiO 2 for HPLC Enantioseparation

ABSTRACT Ionic covalent organic frameworks (iCOFs), as a branch of emerging organic framework materials, integrate charged functional sites with periodically ordered pore structures. Owing to their distinctive merits, including adjustable electrostatic interactions, permanent por...

Phytochemical Profiling, Antioxidant and Antidiabetic Potential of the Ethyl Acetate Fraction of Pilea scripta (Buch.‐Ham. ex D.Don) Wedd.: Integrated In Vitro and In Silico Study

ABSTRACT Medicinal plants have served as a cornerstone of traditional healthcare systems worldwide. Pilea scripta (Buch.‐Ham. ex D.Don) Wedd. is a plant traditionally used by indigenous communities for diabetes management, although its phytochemical composition and pharmacologica...

Efficacy of Local Treatment in Patients With Rheumatic Diseases Affecting the Temporomandibular Joint—A Systematic Review

ABSTRACT Background Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement in rheumatic inflammatory arthropathies (RIA) has been sparsely described, and evidence regarding local treatment options for affected TMJs remains limited. Objectives To perform a systematic review (SR) regarding loca...

Comparative immunogenomics of Suidae reveals lineage-specific immune gene disruption and positive selection

Understanding the evolutionary dynamics of immune-related (IR) genes among closely related species provides key insights into lineage-specific adaptations to pathogens. The family Suidae is a powerful model for investigating immune gene evolution owing to its broad ecological div...

Forecasting Cascading and Compounding Flood Risk From Earthquake‐Induced Ground Deformation

ABSTRACT Large earthquakes can disrupt river systems and produce abrupt, unforeseen changes in flood risk. Forward modelling of earthquake‐related surface deformation and its influence on inundation extent, depth, and frequency enables pre‐emptive assessment of exposure to this c...

Steric‐Setup Effects on US East Coast Sea‐Level Change

Abstract The extent to which coastal sea levels co‐vary with open‐ocean variability is explored through evaluation of a balanced dynamics framework relating sea level with pressure, density, and velocity along the continental shelf and slope seafloor. Using high‐resolution region...

E8 Phi‑Resonant Cascading Invariant (E8‑PCI) and Topological Quantum Memory — E8 Intelligence Research

When the 240 E8 root vectors are phase‑locked at 132 Hz with golden‑ratio (φ) coupling, their conjugate folding generates nested harmonic sub‑lattices that form a closed‑loop phase cascade. This cascade creates a self‑referential topological invariant that simultaneously compress...

English translation of Leonhard Euler's E651, Four particularly noteworthy theorems in integral calculus. AI use and review status: OpenAI tools assisted with the translation and LaTeX. Version 1.0 is a machine draft with limited scholarly human inspection. Version 2.0 is reserve...

Effects of dural puncture epidural technique at different lumbar interspaces on labor analgesia: a randomized controlled trial

Dural puncture epidural (DPE) technique is increasingly used for labor analgesia, but evidence for optimal lumbar interspace selection remains limited. Although lumbar interspace selection has been reported to influence the onset of conventional epidural analgesia, whether a simi...

Antimicrobial Composite Nanofiber Membranes Containing Cross-Linked β-Cyclodextrin Encapsulated Essential Oils

Abstract Membrane biofouling leads to low permeate quality and increased operational costs due to the need for frequent physical and chemical cleaning. Incorporation of antimicrobial agents such as essential oils (EOs) into polymeric membranes presents a promising solution to mit...

(Patriotic) Social Entrepreneurship through a Gendered Lens: Constructive Patriotism Benefits Equally Male and Female Social Entrepreneurs

Social entrepreneurs often face skepticism regarding their motives. Integrating Role Congruity Theory, which posits that individuals are evaluated more favorably when their behaviors align with traditional gender stereotypes, with the bidimensional conceptualization of patriotism...

Assessment of perceived competence in aquatic education: Aspects of reliability and validity of the Perceived Swimming Competence Assessment Scale

The objective of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of a new scale, Perceived Swimming Competence Assessment Scale (PSCAS), designed to assess perceived swimming competence in children. The scale is aligned with skills assessed in the Swimming Competence Assess...

A protein-prioritised, colocalisation-informed genetic framework for safety hypothesis generation across inflammatory bowel disease therapeutic pathways

Human genetics can help prioritise target–outcome safety hypotheses before broad therapeutic exposure, but the strength and translational meaning of such signals depend on molecular proxy type, locus specificity and instrument architecture. We developed a protein-prioritised, col...
