Exact Root-Label Realization Loci in Low-Cost Proximity-Decorated Binary Quadratic Paths

Let $q\in k[[x,y]]\otimes\Sym^2(V^*)$ be a primitive framed binary quadratic germ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. A maximal primitive blowup path carries multiplicities, free/satellite proximity, and exceptional types $B$, $M$, and $N$, where a constant...

Trichoderma-Enabled Crop Resilience Under Abiotic Stress: From Field Delivery to Systems-Level Stress Reprogramming

Abiotic stresses increasingly threaten crop productivity, whereas reliance on chemical and resource-intensive interventions can compromise environmental sustainability. Existing literature identifies Trichoderma spp. as multifunctional biocontrol agents, biofertilizers, and micro...

Phosphonium-based disinfectants are as effective as best-in-class quaternary ammonium compounds in the eradication of established biofilms in antibiotic-resistant bacteria

ABSTRACT Disinfectants play a crucial role in infection prevention and control, acting as our first line of defense against pathogenic bacteria. Despite biofilms being a major contributor to recalcitrant infections, the development of novel disinfectants often focuses on bacteria...

Evolutionary Progress and Cultural Value: An Analysis of the Divergence Between Ernan McMullin and Michael Ruse

The relationship between science and values is a classic and important issue in the philosophy of science. Ernan McMullin, a philosopher of science, believes that as science matures, the pursuit of epistemic values leads to the gradual exclusion of non-epistemic values. Michael R...

Escitalopram for psychological symptoms and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with coronary heart disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) often have comorbid depression and anxiety, which worsen prognosis. Escitalopram, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, is used for these symptoms, but evidence on its psychological and cardiovascular effects in CHD is limited. This...

Treat Lesson Material Like Open-Source Software: The Methodology Behind What They Forgot to Teach in Python 101

This poster presents an approach for treating Python lesson materials like open-source software, where workshop notebooks are developed, taught, refined through feedback, and released for continued reuse. The poster highlights an example lesson from What They Forgot to Teach in P...

Circulating MMP-7 is associated with cognitive decline in individuals with vascular risk factors

Background Vascular risk factors contribute substantially to late-life cognitive impairment and interact with neurodegenerative processes underlying dementia. Blood–brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction has emerged as a key mechanism linking vascular pathology to cognitive decline; how...

PiCaRad: Multi-modal MRI Radiomics Dataset for Whole-gland and Cancer Lesion Characterisation

Abstract Purpose: To develop PiCaRad, a standardized radiomics-ready prostate MRI resource that facilitates reproducible radiomics research by providing analysis-ready feature matrices, harmonized clinical annotations, and reference benchmark experiments. Methods: PiCaRad was con...

Benchmarking and assessment of image-based methods for particulate matter estimation: The AQpictures project

Abstract. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a major air-quality and public-health concern, while conventional monitoring networks remain limited in coverage and costly to deploy and maintain. This work presents the AQpictures project, which investigates alternative low-cost moni...

Analysis of Ancestral Inbreeding Across Main Founders and Ancestors in the Polish Simmental Cattle Population

This study estimated the impact of main founders and ancestors on inbreeding subdivision in the Polish Simmental cattle population. Two reference populations were defined: subset A (20,827 cows born 1984–2009) and subset B (19,554 cows born 2010–2020). Ancestral inbreeding coeffi...

E8 Phi-Curvature Information Manifold — E8 Intelligence Research

When the 240 φ‑scaled E8 root vectors interact across their golden‑ratio phase boundaries within the 15 resonant sublattice sectors, they do not merely encode discrete lexical states — they generate a continuous topological information curvature akin to a fiber bundle connection,...

Adapting Architecture: Lipid Membrane Remodeling in Mycobacteria

The mycobacterial cell envelope is a formidable barrier, regarded as one of the most chemically and structurally elaborate architectures in the Bacteria kingdom. Membrane remodeling, defined as changes in membrane lipid composition in response to stressors, has been a subject of...

SUSTAINABLE INTELLIGENCE: DESIGNING AI FOR ETHICAL ECO-FRIENDLY, AND HUMAN-CENTRIC FUTURES

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed industries, societies, and daily life, but its growth has also raised pressing ethical, environmental, and human-centric concerns. The paper examines the concept of Sustainable Intelligence, an approach that in...

First-PrinciplesStudy of Magnesium-Induced PhaseStabilization in Gallium Oxide Polymorphs

Abstract In this study, we investigate the effect of Mg incorporation on the relative phase stability of the four primary Ga2O3 polymorphs using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, with the goal of rationalizing experimental observations suggesting that diffusion from M...

Caffeine Consumption Patterns, Awareness, and Self-Reported Health Effects Among Adults in Nepal: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract BackgroundCaffeine is widely consumed in Nepal, primarily through tea and coffee, yet its everyday health effects are often overlooked due to cultural normalization. While global studies have examined caffeine’s effects, there is a lack of research on how well adults in...

Valorization of slag and banana leaf ash in five natural fiber-reinforced sustainable cementitious composites: early age mechanical and microstructural insights

Portland cement is highly energy-consuming, and its CO 2 emissions raise environmental concerns in the construction sector. This has prompted the desire for sustainable additional cementitious materials, such as slag and banana leaf ash (BLA). Nevertheless, the current literature...
