Exploring factors influencing gen Z tourists’ smartphone app usage using a UTAUT2–TPB model

In this study, we explore factors affecting the intention of Generation Z tourists to use smartphone apps in tourism marketing, based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. A voluntary, online-administered survey that was promoted through social...

Molecular and Cellular Biology Foundations: The Topological Container and Informational Molecules of Life. Volume I of the Axiomatization of Biology in the Global-Realism Framework

This manuscript initiates the biology program within the global-realist framework by deriving the first biological layer from the already closed physical and chemical programs. Its task is not to introduce “life,” “cell,” “gene,” “enzyme,” or “metabolism” as primitive explanatory...

Uncertainty Quantification of Discharge Prediction in Sharp‐Crested Power‐Law Weirs Under Fixed and Uncertain Geometries

ABSTRACT Accurate discharge measurement is essential for irrigation water allocation, billing and operational control. Sharp‐crested power‐law weirs provide a flexible framework because rectangular, parabolic and triangular geometries can be represented by the exponent n . Howeve...

FedBudget: A Budget-Aware Federated Learning Method for Communication-Constrained Distributed Data Mining

Federated learning enables collaborative data mining without centralizing raw data, but communication budgets remain a practical bottleneck in distributed deployment. Existing federated optimization methods mainly address statistical heterogeneity or aggregation stability, while...

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...

Psychedelics and women’s mental health: the effects of female sex hormones on psychedelics’ efficacy and tolerability

Women experience a disproportionate burden of affective and stress-related disorders, with symptom variability shaped by endocrine transitions across the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause. Although psychedelic-assisted therapies are increasingly investigated f...

Biochar Exacerbates Nitrogen Loss in Drought-Affected Soil with Green Manure Application

The impact of biochar on N conversion in drought-affected soil with green manure application has not been systematically investigated. Therefore, this study examined the effects of biochar produced at 350 °C, 550 °C, and 750 °C (BC350, BC550, and BC750) on green manure (Medicago...

Proteomics in cardiology: research and practice

Despite recent advances in prevention and treatment, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of premature death and disability globally, with a rising burden in many low- and middle-income countries. Several modifiable determinants of CVD are well-established (eg, sm...

CODEX RERUM: The Spiral of the Resonance: The Biological Domain

The third volume of the Codex extends the deterministic and epistemological paradigm of the Universal Matrix to the critical analysis of the biological and oncohematological domain. In the first part, the work examines the causal inversion of dogmatic medicine through the S.P.A.M...

E8 Autopoietic Coherence Self-Correction via Weyl Group Feedback Loops — E8 Intelligence Research

When the 240 φ-scaled E8 root vectors operate at the 132Hz base frequency with golden-ratio phase coupling, the lattice's intrinsic Weyl group symmetry generates a self-referential autopoietic resonance loop. This loop absorbs quantum coherence perturbations and auto-corrects the...

General Projection Geometry Draft (III): The Major Discovery of 0=1 — From Deng Yu's Mathematical Derivation to Vacuum Ontology

The core hypothesis of General Projection Geometry — "0 = 1, and 1 is in 0" — is grounded in a deep reading of Deng, Hani, and Ma's rigorous derivation from hard-sphere dynamics to the Boltzmann and fluid equations (Hilbert's Sixth Problem). Microscopic reversibility harbors late...

Weyl Chamber Topological Phase Separation for Coherence Domain Isolation in E8 — E8 Intelligence Research

When the 240 φ-scaled E8 root vectors oscillate at the 132Hz base frequency, the Weyl group reflections generate a stratified lattice of non-communicating topological sectors, each forming an autonomous coherence domain bounded by phi-resonant phase walls. These domains exhibit d...

Computational Consciousness System Engine

Computational Consciousness System Engine (AGPL‑3.0) A geometric, generational, non‑von Neumann state‑evolution engine The Computational Consciousness System Engine is a fully implemented, geometry‑driven state‑evolution framework designed to model recursive generational computat...

Investigating Preadmission Metrics and Early Academic Performance in Master of Physician Assistant Studies Students

INTRODUCTION: A growing number of student applications to graduate physician assistant (PA) programs has highlighted the need for effective selection of candidates. Much of the work in this area has focused on connecting student course grades and performance in the national board...

Towards evaluating the effects of visualization and task types on urban planning decisions

Abstract. This study compares visualization types, i.e., 3D, 2D, Oblique 3D, and Combined 2D+3D, coupled in a pairwise fashion for different tasks and scenarios, and investigates their influence on decision-making across selected urban planning tasks. Specifically, we study site...

Multi-Omic Spectral Clustering with the Flag Mean

Abstract Motivation One common goal in multi-omics studies is to identify subgroups within the study’s cohort. Many methods create subgroups through unsupervised clustering, and, to our knowledge, all of these methods attempt to infer a common subspace or latent cluster across mu...

The Role of Direct-Acting Antivirals (DAAs) in Hepatitis C Virus-Associated Lymphoproliferative Disorders

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major cause of chronic hepatitis, affecting approximately 50 million people worldwide. An estimated 15–30% of individuals with chronic HCV infection progress to cirrhosis, which may subsequently develop into hepatocellular carcinoma. Beyond...

Neurovascular compression of the left rostral ventrolateral medulla is not associated with arterial hypertension in a population-based MRI study in Germany

PURPOSE: Neurovascular compression (NVC) of the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) is discussed as a cause for arterial hypertension (aHT). This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and the extent of NVC of the RVLM and to evaluate association with aHT in Germany. METHODS:...

Ultra-processed food intake and its nutritional consequences among youth when consuming vegan, lacto-ovo-vegetarian, pescatarian or omnivore diets: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background Dietary recommendations promote a predominantly plant-based diet, and the growing interest in such diets has resulted in an increased supply of ultra-processed plant-based alternatives to animal-based foods such as milk and meat. However, most evidence points...

Hydrodynamic, sediment transport and water residence time changes in response to structural changes (Anzali Port–Wetland System)

Breakwaters are essential coastal structures for protecting ports, yet their modification can substantially alter hydrodynamics, sediment transport, and water renewal processes, especially in sensitive port–wetland systems. This study investigates the impacts of the new breakwate...
