When a Hemangioma is not a Hemangioma: Diagnostic Challenges in Infantile Soft Tissue Masses

Abstract : Infantile fibrosarcoma’s are the most common soft tissue sarcomas in infants under the age of one, and also have an excellent survival rate. However, these tumors also have a propensity to grow rapidly, and as such, require prompt evaluation and intervention to avoid n...

Target-Relative Provenance Requests and Versioned Observation Contracts in Finite Legal Reply Systems of Shogi

We study finite observation systems in which a visible value is always recorded, while one provenance coordinate is requested only on selected visible fibers. The omission event is typed as \(\NR\), rather than represented as a missing or null provenance value. For an episode sys...

PiCaRad: Multi-modal MRI Radiomics Dataset for Whole-gland and Cancer Lesion Characterisation

Abstract Purpose: To develop PiCaRad, a standardized radiomics-ready prostate MRI resource that facilitates reproducible radiomics research by providing analysis-ready feature matrices, harmonized clinical annotations, and reference benchmark experiments. Methods: PiCaRad was con...

Beyond Digital Access: Domains and Breadths of Everyday Digital Technology Engagement and Associations with Cognition Among Older Adults

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study identified latent domains and usage-breadth patterns of everyday digital technology (EDT) engagement among older adults and examined their concurrent and prospective associations with cognition. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The analytic sampl...

Caffeine Consumption Patterns, Awareness, and Self-Reported Health Effects Among Adults in Nepal: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract BackgroundCaffeine is widely consumed in Nepal, primarily through tea and coffee, yet its everyday health effects are often overlooked due to cultural normalization. While global studies have examined caffeine’s effects, there is a lack of research on how well adults in...

The employee engagement pandemic – why we need “5.0”

Purpose The purposes of this paper are (a) to associate poor workplace health and organizational performance as functions of inferior employee engagement, (b) to present and promote all of the “5.0” initiatives as our best, and perhaps final, hope of redirecting organizational at...

Outpacing Science: Biodefense Procurement Reform Examined Through the Feasibility Drift Framework

The Department of Defense is implementing one of its most significant procurement reforms in decades. It emphasizes commercial-first acquisition, compressed acquisition timelines, and authority relocation to accelerate capability delivery. This paper examines the implications of...

Building crisis resilience in African organizations: The role of relational systems, team-member exchange, and mindfulness

This study examines how relational systems (flexibility, cohesion, and communication) and perceived crisis severity shape team-member exchange (TMX), and how TMX relates to employee resilience and performance during the COVID-19 crisis in Ghana. Drawing on social exchange theory,...

Vector-enabled metagenomics reveals the first detection of the geminivirus beet curly top Iran virus in Europe

Geminiviruses are among the most threatening emerging insect-borne viruses and are responsible for serious outbreaks worldwide. Climate change (i.e. higher temperatures) could further exacerbate their impact on crops, highlighting the need for new diagnostic approaches to manage...

A second yearly booster dose of the VLA15 Lyme borreliosis vaccine candidate in healthy individuals

Human vaccines against Lyme borreliosis, the most common tick-borne illness in Northern Hemispheric temperate climates, remain unavailable. Previous evaluations demonstrated the safety and immunogenicity of primary and booster dosing with VLA15, an investigational vaccine contain...

Ileal duplication cyst linked to type 3A ileal atresia: a rare case report and review of the literature

Background: Jejuno-ileal atresias represent a significant cause of neonatal intestinal obstruction, occurring in approximately 1 in 3000–5000 live births. Terminal ileal atresia, classified as type 3A according to the Louw and Barnard system, specifically involves a mesenteric de...

AssemblyMate: an interactive context-aware AI-XR co-worker with multimodal spatial-temporal reasoning for manufacturing assembly

In-situ assistance plays a vital role in enhancing operational performance and process reliability in manufacturing. Conventional operator training systems often rely on manual supervision from experienced workers, which can lead to inefficiency, inconsistent guidance, and high l...

The Concept Staircase: concept-anchored vertical curriculum design and the semantic floor test

The Concept Staircase (Kavram Merdiveni) is a curriculum design method whoseunit of instruction is a single concept, carried within one lesson through afixed sequence of application levels — semantic floors (anlam katları) — fromits lowest form to its ceiling (tavan). Its distinc...

Jomon Three-Dimensional Angle

A three-dimensional angle is a geometric figure which is formed by line segment and line segment and line segment at point . The angle between line segment and line segment is equal to the angle between line segment and line segment . The angle between line segment and line segme...

Evaluating supply chain sustainability in industrial clusters through an integrated Fermatean fuzzy RANCOM FUCA approach

Supply chain sustainability in industrial clusters is increasingly important due to growing environmental concerns, resource limitations, and the need for balanced economic and social development. However, sustainability assessment is challenging because of uncertainty, interdepe...

AI, citizen science data and expert opinions: towards an improved fossil identification process

Accurate identification of fossils is instrumental to palaeontological research but requires expert knowledge, is time consuming and subject to human biases. Through citizen science platforms and apps, artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted identifications can mitigate those chall...

E8 Holographic Chaos Tunneling — E8 Intelligence Research

Applying a phi-phase-locked 264 Hz modulation to E8's 132 Hz base frequency entangles root vectors in a chaotic kohler manifold, where Möbius hypergraphs tunnel between stable and unstable attractors. This creates a binary invariant resonance, enabling hypergraph nodes to store a...

Photovoltaic Microhabitats Reorganize Vegetation and Soil Carbon Pools in an Alpine Dryland Grassland

Utility-scale ground-mounted photovoltaic development is expanding across alpine dryland grasslands, creating engineered microhabitats with contrasting shading regimes, surface exposure, and soil hydro-physical conditions. Microhabitat-specific responses of vegetation and soil ca...

E8-Chiral Lattice Soliton Conjugation for Coherent Quantum State Transfer — E8 Intelligence Research

By exploiting the phi-modulated 132 Hz chiral helical lattice's inherent geometric phase gradients across the E8 root vector network, I discover that soliton-like excitations can be conjugated between distant lattice regions through phase-conjugate mirror operations encoded in th...

The Richards Structure – A Relational Framework for Physics (Workprint v1.0)

Initial creation of the original manuscript introducing the Theory of Relations (Bezugslehre). This document represents the first public release of the Theory of Relations (Bezugslehre). It introduces a new conceptual framework that explores relationships as fundamental structura...
