A Unified Single-Disruption Model for Terrestrial Accretion, Volatile Delivery, and Lunar Origin

Standard solar nebular models face distinct inconsistencies in accounting for the inner Solar System'sstructural and chemical architecture. Specifically, the "Small Mars" anomaly necessitates models like theGrand Tack, which posits a massive clearing of circumstellar mass via Jov...

HMGB1 expression in CT26 murine cancer cells modulates the tumor microenvironment and limits local anti-tumor immunity

Abstract High mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) is a ubiquitous protein that has multiple functions in the nucleus and cytosol. Following release into the extracellular space, HMGB1 acts as a mediator of inflammation. HMGB1 is overexpressed in many cancers and has both oncogen...

A Comparative Study of Sports Injury Incidence and Patterns Between Under-19 and Senior Athletes

Abstract Background: While participation in sports aids overall physical and mental development, it inherently creates a risk of sports injuries. Significant variations in injury patterns occur based on age, training intensity, and developmental stage. Understanding age-specific...

Molecular methods for differentiating Phragmites australis subspecies and identification of hybrid stands in the Upper Midwestern United States

Abstract Premise In North America, Phragmites australis (common reed) has drawn a great deal of research attention. Non‐native P. australis subsp. australis is a noxious weed that has locally displaced native P. australis subsp. americanus in some areas. Although morphological fe...

Harmony or Conflict? Grandparent–Parent Co‐Parenting Patterns and Children's Problematic Media Use

ABSTRACT Background Grandparent–parent co‐parenting is common in China, but its link to preschoolers' problematic media use is unclear. This study examined how co‐parenting patterns are associated with children's media use, focusing on the mediating role of parental digital paren...

Agreement and workflow efficiency of AI-based coronary artery calcification quantification in lung cancer screening: Comparison with semi-automated and visual assessment

Objectives: To evaluate agreement and workflow implications of fully automated AI-based coronary artery calcification (CAC) quantification on non-ECG-gated low-dose CT in lung cancer screening, compared with semi-automated (SA) and visual assessment. Materials and methods: In thi...

The Mathematics of Twisted Waves: How signals are decomposed into waves — and what happens when the world of the signal is a Möbius strip. (High-school level)

This document explains the mathematics of a real research project using high-school tools: trigonometric functions, addition formulas and the trigonometric form of complex numbers. The starting point is the Fourier decomposition as a "basis and coordinates" idea, followed by an o...

Energy-Aware Scheduling and Beamforming for Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer in Low-Earth-Orbit Satellite and UAV Networks Using Lyapunov Optimization, Successive Convex Approximation, and WMMSE

The integration of low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellites with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) promises high-throughput and flexible wireless connectivity, yet it faces critical challenges in simultaneously guaranteeing data rates and long-term energy harvesting under mobility and impe...

Agro-Food Processing and Territorial Attractiveness in Central Benin: Pathways Toward Sustainable Rural Economic Development

Agro-food processing activities are increasingly recognized as important levers of sustainable rural development, contributing to territorial attractiveness, local economic diversification, and more resilient rural livelihoods. However, despite growing recognition of their contri...

Phi‑Locked E8 Phonon‑Lattice Error‑Correction — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240 root vectors of the E8 lattice define a set of 8‑dimensional vibrational modes that, when driven at the 132 Hz phi‑phase‑locked frequency, become coherently entangled phonon channels. These phi‑locked phonon modes generate a dynamic Weyl feedback network that actively det...

Semiprime-Order Circulant Determinants: A Conductor-65 Counterexample, Reciprocal Unit Bases, and a Prime-Norm Classification

This preprint addresses three questions raised by Paudel and Pinner concerning integer circulant determinants of semiprime order. It proves that ±5³ and ±13³ do not occur at order 65, establishes a reciprocal and skew-reciprocal unit-basis theorem for odd cyclotomic fields, and c...

Adaptive Technologies for Pediatric Emergency Readiness: Cognitive State Sensing, Augmented Reality Guidance, and the Evidence Gap

Abstract Purpose of Review Pediatric emergencies in general and community hospitals, where most children are seen, are infrequent and cognitively demanding, and deviation from resuscitation algorithms is common despite certification. This review treats that as a failure of execut...

Refined Multi-Source Satellite and Reanalysis Diagnostics Reveal Topographic Anchoring and Thermodynamic Control of the Tibetan Plateau Ozone Valley

The Tibetan Plateau ozone valley is a prominent summertime ozone minimum in the Northern Hemisphere upper troposphere–lower stratosphere (UTLS), with implications for regional radiative balance and climate. Although previous studies emphasized large-scale circulation during the A...

Effects of Dietary Rumen-Undegradable Protein and Protein Levels on Growth Performance, Fermentation Parameters, Slaughter Performance, and Meat Quality on Fattening Hu Sheep

Optimizing protein nutrition in ruminants is vital for enhancing growth performance, meat quality, and overall production efficiency. However, the precise protein requirement for ruminants remains unclear. Two experimental trials were conducted to investigate the impact of varyin...

Active Free Radical Cold Atmosphere Plasma Promotes Healing of Diabetes Foot Ulcer: Mechanism and Challenge

BACKGROUND: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) have become an important cause of disability and death in patients with diabetes. Traditional therapies are prone to problems such as recurrence and drug resistance, which result in unsatisfactory healing effects for DFUs. Although antibiot...
