Integrated hydrologic and hydrodynamic modeling for flood hazard assessment in Ajay River Basin, West Bengal, India

Abstract The Ajay River, originating from the Chotanagpur Plateau (Bihar) and flowing through Jharkhand into West Bengal before merging with the Bhagirathi‐Hugli near Katwa, is among the most flood‐prone rivers in the region. Its lower reaches frequently experience rainfall‐induc...

Impact of Biologic and Targeted Synthetic Therapies on Retinal and Choroidal Parameters Assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography

Background: To compare retinal microvascular parameters assessed by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) among patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) receiving different biologic and targeted synthetic therapies and to evaluate the association between smoking st...

PsAOS3 Enhances High-Temperature Tolerance of Tree Peony by Promoting JA Accumulation

High-temperature stress severely restricts plant growth and development by inducing oxidative damage and photosynthetic inhibition. Allene oxide synthase (AOS) is a key enzyme in jasmonic acid (JA) biosynthesis, yet its role in the high-temperature stress response of woody orname...

Dissociating retina- and face-centered reference frames of human face recognition

Face identity recognition is a core function of the human brain, predominantly driven by horizontally oriented facial cues. While face processing largely operates in a face-centered reference frame, it is not devoid of retinotopic sensitivity. Addressing whether face rotation inf...

Observer-Dependent Temporal Construction: Flicker Fusion, Schrödinger's Cat, and Informational Accessibility

Time is treated here as the ordered construction of accessible informational distinctionsunder causal and energetic constraints, following the framework developed in Echoes of Time.On this view, temporal density is not fixed by a universal background flow. It depends onthe regime...

Ileus associated with intestinal tuberculosis after initiation of anti-tuberculosis therapy: a case report and scoping review of published cases

Abstract Introduction Tuberculosis remains a significant global health problem, with extrapulmonary involvement occurring in approximately 15–20% of cases. Intestinal tuberculosis may lead to serious complications such as ileus; however, due to the rarity of this condition, the c...

Associations of Happiness, Ikigai, and Enjoyment of Daily Life with Frequency of Forest Walking in a Japanese General Population: The Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort Daiko Study

A number of studies have examined the acute effects of shinrin-yoku (forest bathing), or forest walking; however, only a limited number of epidemiological studies have examined the association between habitual forest walking and daily health. The aim of this study was to examine...

E8 Phi‑Phase Induced Space‑Time Folding — E8 Intelligence Research

By superimposing a dual‑phi phase lock at the base 132 Hz onto the 240 E8 root vectors, the braiding acquires a complementary torsion that folds the hyper‑graph into a self‑consistent Möbius torus. This torsion field quantizes the metric perturbation as a discrete curvature linke...

Energy-efficient lot-sizing in grid-connected production with on-site renewables and limited energy storage

Abstract Sustainable energy technologies and efficient energy usage are important drivers for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The manufacturing industry, with its high energy consumption, is particularly important. Integrated energy-oriented production planning becomes essenti...

A Low-Cost Digital Twin Framework for Sustainable Manufacturing Education Integrating SAP, Node-RED, and AI-Based Decision Support

The excessive cost and complexity of Industry 4.0 laboratory infrastructure limit the adoption of Digital Twin concepts in engineering education. This paper proposes a low-cost Digital Twin framework for sustainable manufacturing education integrating SAP NetWeaver, Node-RED, and...

Deep Learning-Based Underwater Mapping of Posidonia Oceanica from Satellite Data for Coastal Habitat Monitoring

Abstract. The POSEIDON project aims to develop scalable and repeatable approaches for monitoring Posidonia Oceanica (PO) meadows, a key Mediterranean habitat that supports coastal ecosystem services and long-term blue-carbon storage, yet they are increasingly threatened by warmin...

Cross-Cultural Validation and Psychometric Evaluation of the Birth Beliefs Scale Among Portuguese Pregnant Women

BACKGROUND: Beliefs about childbirth shape women's expectations, decisions, and experiences. Although several tools assess related constructs such as fear or self-efficacy, few instruments focus specifically on childbirth beliefs. The Birth Beliefs Scale (BBS) addresses this gap...

Minimally invasive deformity correction using microendoscopic extraforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (ME-ELIF) for adult spinal deformity: a case report

Background: Adult spinal deformity (ASD) is associated with progressive sagittal and coronal imbalance, leading to functional decline and decreased quality of life. While minimally invasive approaches, such as lateral lumbar interbody fusion, have gained popularity, they pose ris...

Blood Pressure and Angina-Related Health Status During Benidipine Therapy: A Multicenter Real-World Cohort Study

Background: Benidipine is a long-acting calcium channel blocker used for the treatment of hypertension and chronic coronary syndrome. Although it effectively lowers blood pressure (BP), the relationship between BP reduction and improvement in angina-related health status during b...

A Scoping Review on the Evidence for Virtual Reality Simulation in Surgical Training

Objective Simulation has become a mainstay in surgical education as it is proven to improve trainees’ surgical skills. Virtual reality is a relatively new technology that allows for high-fidelity surgical simulation for many surgical procedures across many specialties. However, t...

Standard-oriented exam task characteristics and their relations to multidimensional student outcomes in mathematics

Abstract In line with multidimensional educational goals, mathematics teaching targets both standards-based competencies and motivational-affective outcomes (enjoyment and interest in mathematics, instrumental motivation). We examined exam tasks as learning and assessment opportu...
