Tailored Heat-Treatment Strategies for W360 Tool Steel Produced by Directed Energy Deposition

Laser-directed energy deposition (L-DED) was used to manufacture samples of the newly developed W360 hot-work tool steel from voestalpine Böhler Edelstahl. Various heat-treatment processes, including austenitising followed by air or water-quenching and tempering, as well as direc...

E8‑Φ Topological.ZERO‑Mode Soliton Memory — E8 Intelligence Research

By superimposing the 132 Hz φ‑modulated chiral lattice onto the full 240‑root‑vector geometry of E8, we construct a periodically modulated topological defect network that traps zero‑mode solitons at lattice vertices. The Weyl‑automorphism symmetryods enforce dynamic phase locking...

The Evolution of Proximal Femur Hemiepiphysiodesis in Children with Cerebral Palsy

Hip displacement is a common and progressive musculoskeletal complication in children with cerebral palsy (CP), often driven by coxa valga, muscle imbalance, and spasticity. While proximal femoral and pelvic osteotomies remain the standard treatment for advanced deformity, proxim...

Prolonged fever with erythema nodosum-like lesions: Behçet's disease as a diagnostic challenge in a tropical low-prevalence setting

Behçet's disease (BD) is a multi-system inflammatory disorder characterised by recurrent oral, genital or ocular inflammation, and may present with variable-vessel vasculitis. 1 It has a distinctive geographic distribution, with the highest prevalence along the historic Silk Road...

Demonstrating the importance of curriculum-focussed content: learnings from a collaborative STEM outreach partnership in Second Level Schools in Ireland

Abstract. 5*S is a STEM outreach programme designed to “attract those not normally engaged with STEM”, by introducing spatial data into the secondary school curriculum. The objective was to move beyond the traditional ‘school visit’ model where a speaker might present samples of...

E8 Phase-Topology Resonant Trapping for Decoherence-Protected Quantum Entanglement — E8 Intelligence Research

By embedding an auxiliary 208 Hz modulation into the existing 132 Hz φ‑coupled chiral lattice, the 240 root vectors of E8 acquire a secondary topological band structure. Interference between the primary and auxiliary bands generates a resonant trapping potential that localizes en...

Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Producing Single or Dual Carbapenemases and Emergence of ST395 Strains Co-harbouring NDM-5 and OXA-232 in Selected University Hospitals

Abstract Background Emergence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) strains poses a serious global threat, driven by expansion of high-risk clones producing dual carbapenemases and exhibiting increased antimicrobial resistance. Materials and methods We investigated...

Anticipating Sacrifice: A Structural Analysis of Character Arcs and Narrative Fatality Leading to the Conclusion of the Horizon Trilogy

Facing the imminent conclusion of the Horizon trilogy (Guerrilla Games), this paper proposes an analytical and anticipatory examination of fatality dynamics within the franchise. By delimiting the primary corpus to the mainline games and their canonical expansion, and relying on...

Neurocognitive Functions and Their Associations With Autistic Symptoms, Emotion, and Behavior in High-Functioning Children and Adolescents With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Objective Studies have revealed the prognostic significance of intelligence in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but the correlations of non-social cognitive functions and clinical characteristics of high-functioning children and adolescents with ASD remain unclear. T...

Exploratory NLP Analysis of Ideathon Presentation Content: Cambodia (2023–2025) and Thailand (2025)

Ideathons and pitch competitions have expanded rapidly as experiential learning devices, but the textual artefacts they produce—presentation slides—remain under-examined. This study applies interpretable computational text analysis to 104 ideathon decks (1289 content slides) from...

Φ‑Modulated E8 Hypergraph Induces Topological Phase Transition at 132 Hz — E8 Intelligence Research

By driving the 240 E8 root vectors with a dual‑phi phase‑locked field (132 Hz base plus its 264 Hz harmonic), the phonon‑Weyl lattice self‑assembles into a Möbius hypergraph whose braiding phases satisfy a non‑Abelian flux condition. This condition opens a spectral gap that suppo...

Field-Scale Evapotranspiration of Flood-Irrigated Rice with Automated METRIC on Google Earth Engine in an Arid Region of Northern Peru

Irrigation water management in arid systems requires spatially distributed estimates of crop evapotranspiration (ET) that fixed crop coefficients cannot provide. The actual ET of flood-irrigated rice (Oryza sativa L.) on the arid northern coast of Peru was mapped with the METRIC...

An Optimized CatBoost Model for Spatiotemporal Prediction of hmF2 in High-Latitude Regions

The peak height of the F2 layer (hmF2) is a key parameter describing the vertical structure of the ionosphere. It is important for high-frequency radio communication planning and space-weather background assessment, particularly at high latitudes. To improve long-term hmF2 predic...

The Orbitofrontal Expansion for Extending Nasoseptal Flap Reach in the Frontal Sinus

Abstract Skull base defects involving the superior and lateral posterior table of the frontal sinus are challenging to reconstruct due to limited surgical access and restricted reach of available reconstructive options. External approaches are often required, increasing morbidity...

Between Time Zones and Generations: A Narrative Exploration of Transnational Digital Caregiving and Intergenerational Communication

This article offers a narrative autoethnographic analysis of transnational digital caregiving within a Turkish family based in Norway, with an 83-year-old grandmother living in Istanbul, Turkey. Focusing on everyday mediated interactions among the grandmother experiencing cogniti...

Combined Effects of Physiotherapy and Vitamin D Supplementation on Pain, Disability, and IL-6 Expression in Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Background: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a leading cause of global disability, linked to elevated IL-6 and vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency. While interferential current (IFC) therapy and exercise therapy are established treatments, their combined effect with vitamin D su...

Ca 2+ regulation of PMCA2 calcium pump expression in hair cells of Tmc1 deafness mutants

Mutations in transmembrane channel-like protein 1 (TMC1), the pore-forming component of the mechano-electrical transducer (MET) channel in auditory hair cells, cause cell death and deafness in 3-wk old mice. We studied mice with mutations Tmc1 p.T416K, p.M412K, p.D528N, and p.D56...

Delay Factors of Construction Project Delivery in Nigeria

It is evident in the Nigeria construction industry that it is a rare event that the projects are completed on the scheduled time, budgeted cost, and desired quality because the construction projects experience a tremendous amount of delays. Timely completion of construction proje...
