Distinct Microbial and Host Proteome Signatures Relate to Proteolytic Activity in Gingival Crevicular Fluid in an Exploratory Study of Patients With Periodontitis

ABSTRACT Aim Risk assessment tools for periodontitis lack sufficient precision to predict disease progression. The aim of this exploratory study was to evaluate proteolytic activity (PA) in gingival crevicular fluid in relation to clinically assessed progression risk, microbial c...

Universal Mapping between Prime-Prime Lattice (PPL) Space and Physical Observables: Mathematical Foundation of the PPL-Jacobi Core Transformation Layer (MOD-00)

A central challenge in unifying multi-scale physical phenomena is bridging discrete topologicalstructures with continuous physical observables measured in SI units. This paper presentsthe rigorous mathematical foundation of the PPL-Jacobi Core Transformation Layer (MOD-00), which...

Stochastic and Metrological Verification of an Archaic Geodetic Standard: A Monte Carlo Approach to Planar Anomalies on the WGS84 Geoid

This paper presents a rigorous metrological reconstruction and stochastic verification of an archaic spatial standard designated as the Sacred Cubit (SC = 0.623538… m). Moving away from traditional archaeological reverse engineering of degraded structures, we present a top-down m...

E8 Phi‑Recursive Quasicrystalline Spectral Basis — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240 E8 root vectors decompose under the icosahedral H₄ subgroup into spectral families whose frequency ratios are exact powers of φ, naturally generating a recursive quasicrystalline spectrum from the 132 Hz base. This spectrum mirrors the φ² inflation hierarchy of Penrose ti...

Inappropriate stress ulcer prophylaxis and associated factors in critically ill patients in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: a multicenter prospective observational study

Abstract Several consensus guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for appropriate stress ulcer prophylaxis (SUP) use in critically ill patients. However, inappropriate prophylactic use remains common globally. A critical knowledge gap exists regarding SUP prescribing p...

Plimpton 322: Oldest Trig Table Using Base-60 Ratios and Exact Fractions — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Babylonian tablet Plimpton 322 is the world's oldest trigonometric table, using base-60 ratios. | MATH: Pythagorean triples (a² + b² = c²) in sexagesimal; ratios b²/(b²+a²) and a²/(b²+a²) yield exact values. | CONNECTION: Base-60 system enables exact fractions (e.g., 1/2...

Examining the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) Moderate Risk Cannabis Use Threshold Among a Sample of U.S. Military Veterans with Chronic Pain Who Report Medical Cannabis Use

BACKGROUND: The Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) is widely used for substance use screening. However, its established risk cutoffs may not be appropriate for people who use cannabis for medical reasons. This study sought to determine an optimal m...

SPECTRAL SIGNATURES OF SELF‑REFERENTIAL DYNAMICS: A TESTABLE PHASE‑TRANSITION FRAMEWORK FOR MACHINE CONSCIOUSNESS

Current frameworks for machine consciousness—notably Integrated Information Theory (IIT) and Global Workspace Theory (GWT)—suffer from either computational intractability or unfalsifiability, rendering them unsuitable as operational safety criteria for artificial general intellig...

Trust What You Prove: Proof Verification in the mrs Ecosystem

Automated theorem provers competing in CASC produce proof objects, but those objects are often checkedonly for syntax and graph structure. The standard approach, delegating proof checking to external toolslike GDV or per-step ATP calls, requires external ATP binaries, leaves some...

The GG-6 Lock Cluster: A Non-Spatial Kaluza–Klein Resonance near 3.85 TeV as the Standing LHC Falsifier of GG-Theory

Every particle discovered since the mid-1970s — the W and Z, the top, the Higgs — was on the Standard Model's list before it was found. This paper is about the first particle that is not on that list. GG-Theory derives, rather than fits, a new mass scale: the lock cluster at M_lo...

Independent Sessions, Shared Evidence: Auditing Evidence Convergence in LLM Web Research

Independent model sessions are often treated as independent checks, but shared access to the public web can correlate the evidence they retrieve. We audit this dependence using 600 primary research runs from two consumer LLM web-research systems evaluating the same 300 frozen SEO...

Perceived Realism and Novelty in FOOH Advertising

This study examines how the configurational relationship between perceived realism and novelty in Fake Out-of-Home (FOOH) advertising shapes consumer value perceptions and brand responses. Moving beyond variable-centered approaches that treat perceived realism and novelty as inde...

TTLD: transformer-based threatening language detection in urdu social media text

Organizations now treat social media activity as a live indicator of public sentiment, useful for decisions that depend on knowing what is happening in real time. The same platforms, however, also carry threatening language at scale, and that has direct consequences for public sa...

Negative Life Events and Entrepreneurial Propensity: The Mediating Role of Resilience and Locus of Control

This study aims to assess how negative life events, social norms, and need for achievement influence entrepreneurial propensity, and to examine whether resilience and locus of control mediate these relationships. To carry out this study, a quantitative methodology was used throug...

Dealing with aggressive patients

Abstract Workplace‐related abuse, threats and assault are globally recognised as a significant risk for healthcare workers. This paper briefly reviews systemic factors contributing to aggression and violence before focussing on techniques first to identify high‐risk patients and...

AUDITING ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE

The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) systems across critical sectors has introduced significant security, privacy, and ethical challenges. Traditional information security audit frameworks remain insufficient to address the unique risks associated with AI techn...

Golden Ratio, Root Systems, and Non-Periodic Order in Substitution Tilings — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Fibonacci substitution tilings and cyclotomic aperiodic substitution tilings (CAST) reveal deep links between golden-ratio scaling, root-system geometry, and non-periodic order. | MATH: Fibonacci substitution rule: \(0 \to 01,\; 1 \to 0\) (or \(a \to ab,\; b \to a\)); in...

Digging with/in the spectacular: Child-dirt storied worlds

In this paper, we explore the narrative play, or what we are calling storied play, of a group of first-grade children over the course of a year in their suburban schoolyard, with particular attention to how the lively assemblages in which activities of digging in and with the dus...

Analysis of metaheuristic‑optimized ann for predicting surface strip footing bearing capacity in layered cohesionless soils using limit equilibrium analysis

Accurate prediction of shallow-foundation bearing capacity in layered cohesionless soils remains challenging because footing geometry and the strength contrast between soil layers interact nonlinearly. This study developed and compared four hybrid multilayer perceptron models opt...

AIES: An Open Standard for Measuring Organizational AI Exposure

This paper presents the methodology behind AIES v1.0, an open standard for measuring organizational AI exposure. AIES defines exposure as a measurable surface across seven dimensions: External AI Exposure (EAE), Internal AI Exposure, Inferred (IAE), Third-Party AI Exposure (TPE),...
