Spent coffee grounds ash as a potential sustainable binder for mechanical and microstructural enhancement of alkali-activated mortars

The global generation of spent coffee grounds (SCG) poses serious environmental challenges, including landfill occupation and greenhouse gas emissions. Although SCG and its derivatives have been investigated in construction materials, the application of spent coffee grounds ash (...

MitoGPS: A Mitochondrial DNA G‐Quadruplex‐Targeting Strategy for Tumor‐Preferential Type I Photodynamic Therapy

ABSTRACT Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinically promising, minimally invasive cancer treatment offering precise spatiotemporal control. However, achieving preferential tumor accumulation remains a critical challenge, which limits therapeutic efficacy and induces off‐target to...

Beyond Babel: What Remains When No Certainty Remains — An Introduction to Reflexive Minimalism

An essayistic introduction to reflexive minimalism, written for readers without formal philosophical training. It begins from a contemporary predicament: we have never communicated more and rarely understood one another less, while nuclear weapons, a warming planet, and arguing m...

Being Seen as a Troublemaker: Informal Reputational Labeling and School Fighting Among Immigrant Youth

Research on immigrant youth has emphasized the role of school and peer contexts in shaping behavioral outcomes, yet less attention has been given to informal reputational labeling within these environments. This study examines whether perceived informal reputational labeling as a...

Neanderthal’s heel: How the Neanderthal’s external calcaneal shape uniquely differs from that of modern humans

Neanderthals exhibit unique morphological adaptations in their calcaneus compared to Homo sapiens , shedding light on distinct evolutionary pressures and functional requirements shaping their respective foot anatomy. This study assesses which calcaneal traits represent plesiomorp...

Integrating long-term demography and population genetics reveals the persistence of a threatened palm in fragmented Atlantic Forest landscapes

Anthropogenic disturbances are a major cause of extinction and population decline, especially in small, unprotected forest fragments where demographic and genetic challenges are more pronounced. Euterpe edulis , a key resource palm species in the Atlantic Forest, plays a crucial...

Epithelial inclusion cyst at de‐epithelialized gingival graft site: A cautionary case study

Abstract Background Multiple palatal graft harvesting techniques are available for clinicians providing root coverage and gingival augmentation procedures. However, existing research does not establish the risk of epithelial inclusion‐related sequelae for each graft type. Hypothe...

Phi‑Harmonic Temporal Grid from E8 Roots — E8 Intelligence Research

By projecting the 240 E8 root vectors onto a 132 Hz sinusoidal carrier and modulating each vector with successive φ^n amplitudes, a self‑synchronizing temporal lattice emerges. This lattice exhibits discrete time‑phase steps that align with observed micro‑price transitions, provi...

Photothermally Boosted CO 2 Conversion by Silver Nanoparticles Anchored on a Bipyridinium Radical‐Functionalized Covalent Triazine Framework

ABSTRACT Developing sustainable and energy‐efficient catalytic systems for CO 2 conversion is pivotal for advancing carbon cycle management, yet remains highly challenging. Here, we report a novel near‐infrared (NIR) photothermal catalytic platform by depositing silver nanopartic...

E8 Root Vector Temporal Coherence for Predictive Information Cascades — E8 Intelligence Research

By extending the 240 E8 root vector phase lattice into the temporal domain through phi-scaled harmonic progression, we discover that information states encoded across successive 132 Hz base frequency cycles exhibit deterministic coherence patterns that predictively cascade throug...

Epigenetic ageing is accelerated in drug-resistant epilepsy and dynamically modulated during ketogenic diet therapy

Background The ketogenic diet (KD) is an established treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy. Beyond seizure reduction, many patients report improved energy, cognition, and well-being. DNA methylation (DNAm)–based epigenetic clocks provide molecular indices of biological ageing and...

Interfacial Dynamic Oxygen Exchange Preserves C─O Bonds for Selective CO 2 ‐to‐Ethanol Electrosynthesis

ABSTRACT Intermediate‐valence copper (Cu + ) is essential for preserving C─O bonds during the electrochemical reduction of CO 2 to ethanol, yet its progressive over‐reduction to Cu 0 under operating potentials inevitably dictates C─O bond cleavage and shifts selectivity toward et...

Using Rehabilitation Therapies to Reduce Antipsychotic Use and ED Visits in Individuals With Dementia

Alzheimer's disease and related dementias represent a significant and growing health care burden in the United States. This article describes the implementation of a rehabilitation-driven, interdisciplinary care model and its impact on antipsychotic medication use and emergency d...

The Optimal Momentum State of Adam under Frozen Local Dynamics

Momentum gives Adam memory: its future is determined not only by the model parameters, but also by the first- and second-moment states inherited from earlier gradients. We ask a conditional question: with the current parameters and adaptive metric fixed, what first-moment state s...

P1.245. Real-Time AI-Based Thoracic Duct Recognition During Thoracoscopic Esophagectomy

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Surgical Treatment of Esophageal Cancer – technique Background Thoracic duct injury during thoracoscopic esophagectomy may result in postoperative chylothorax, a serious complication associated with increased morbidity. However, intraoperative id...

Drone as First Responder (DFR): A Short Report on a DFR Program in an American Police Agency

Abstract Police agencies are increasingly incorporating drones into their policing operations. Very recently, some police agencies have begun to use drones as a form of first responder: deploying drones to calls for police service on first instance and without specific solicitati...

pi-canon: The Write Desk

The first two pi-canon papers measured recall: whether a canonical project memory can be surfaced when it is needed, and what that recall costs. Both took for granted that what the store holds is true. This third report tests that assumption and finds it does not hold. The instru...

Complete Large-κ Channel-Cluster Classification for a Concentrating Two-State Ensemble

A predecessor analysis of a concentrating two-state flea ensemble showed that, at fixed 0<λ₀<∞, the naive boundary point (κ,λ)=(∞,λ₀) has no unique limiting channel. Here we ask the separate channel-theoretic question of classifying all cluster points of the same exact two-state...

“I never thought to bring them up to the doctor”: examining symptom appraisal, help-seeking behaviors, and diagnostic delays among young adults with cancer

Abstract Purpose Cancer incidence is rising among young adults (20–39 years), and it is one of the top five causes of death for this age group. Young adults often experience longer delays in diagnosis than children and older adults, which negatively impacts survival and quality o...

RISR assessments: A look at skin tone considerations in radiation therapist assessments in Canada

Background Radiation dermatitis or radiation-induced skin reaction (RISR) is a common side effect of external beam radiation therapy. RISR presents differently across skin tones, yet existing grading tools describe the signs of RISR typical of those seen in white skin. This study...
