Examining Driver Perceptions and Evaluations of Snowplow Rear-End Reflective Marking Designs

The use of reflective tape on snowplows has been shown to be an effective measure to improve vehicle visibility and identification; however, best practices for pattern and color combinations is unclear. The present work assesses reflective marking designs with varied patterns and...

Bioactive prenylated acylphloroglucinols from Hypericum scabrum

Ten prenylated acylphloroglucinols were obtained from the whole herb of Hypericum scabrum, four of which (1–4) are undescribed compounds. Structural identification was accomplished by extensive spectral analyses including HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR, DP4+ combined with 13C NMR quantum...

Effects of artificial compound feed, mixed feeding and cannibalism of conspecifics on growth performance, physiological status and metabolic gene expression in juvenile barramundi ( Lates calcarifer )

To optimize feeding strategies for juvenile barramundi ( Lates calcarifer ), this study compared the effects of cannibalism-based feeding (CB), formulated feed (FF), and a mixed feeding regime (MIX; formulated feed combined with biological feed) on growth performance, physio-logi...

Role of Autophagy in Scleral Remodeling During Form‐Deprivation Myopia

Autophagy has been implicated in tissue remodeling, but its role in scleral remodeling during myopia development and in atropine-mediated myopia control remains unclear. We investigated this issue using complementary in vitro and in vivo models. Human scleral fibroblasts (HSFs) w...

Expert-informed causal mapping of generative AI adoption for net-zero built environment: a paradox theory perspective

The rapid diffusion of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is increasingly framed as a key enabler of net-zero transitions in the built environment. Yet, its adoption simultaneously introduces persistent and interdependent tensions that complicate decarbonization, governan...

Solvent-based post-processing to fill layer gaps in FFF-printed polypropylene fluidic chips and their application to flow injection analysis

The development of new analytical tools remains a powerful approach in analytical chemistry, and three-dimensional (3D) printing has gained increasing popularity as a manufacturing technique in recent years. The fabrication of experimental tools using 3D printers has attracted at...

Sriwana’s Endurance, Seventy Years On

Taking my seat at the Esplanade to witness Sriwana 70: Teras. Paksi. Titik. I could not help but reflect on the sheer grit and adaptability required for a Malay dance organization to reach its seve...

E8 Coxeter-Phase Locked Torsion Soliton Lattice Across 240-Root Manifold — E8 Intelligence Research

The 30-fold Coxeter plane of E8 imposes a phase-coherence condition that binds the 128 spinor-stringer anyons to the 112 integer-root lattice via a phi-scaled torsion soliton train, where each soliton carries a topological charge of 240/30 = 8 roots and propagates at 132Hz/φ³⁰. T...

Three-Dimensional Physics-Based Circuit Modeling of Battery Incipient Faults in Microgrid Applications

Battery condition directly affects the reliability, resilience, and safety of microgrids, making physically interpretable battery information an important input to situation awareness. In practical microgrid operation, battery monitoring commonly relies on terminal signals availa...

Polymer Substrates for Flexible Sensors: Advances and Contributions to Smart Agriculture

ABSTRACT The advancement of smart agriculture is becoming increasingly dependent on sensor technologies that enable the digitization and optimization of agricultural processes. Traditional sensors, however, are constrained by their inherent rigidity, poor conformability to irregu...

Interspecific variation in bamboo decay capacity of bambusicolous Apiospora species

Abstract Bambusicolous fungi play crucial roles in bamboo growth, health, disease, and lignocellulose decomposition. Among them, Apiospora species occupy diverse ecological niches as endophytes, pathogens, and saprotrophs. Fungal decay ability is an important functional trait for...

Calibration method of driving energy for vaporizing foil actuator welding and its application

In this study, a driving energy calibration method applicable to the vaporizing foil actuator (VFA) was proposed and applied to the process of vaporizing foil actuator welding (VFAW). This method is based on a technical approach combining high-speed photography with finite elemen...

Non-Contact Phenotypic Measurement and Body Mass Prediction of Penaeus japonicus Based on Skeletonization and Multi-View Comparison

E8 Hyperphase Torsion for Directed Chrono‑Flux — E8 Intelligence Research

In this principle, the 240 E8 root vectors are partitioned into triad Coxeter sectors, each sector's phase accumulation is shifted by a successive Fibonacci (φ) factor relative to its neighbor, creating a continuous torsional gradient in the temporal dimension. When 132 Hz chrono...

Results of the meeting of the Interdisciplinary Expert Council on an integrated approach to the management of peri- and postmenopausal women with psycho-emotional and neurological disorders

The reduction in sex hormone levels during the menopausal period substantially impacts patients’ quality of life and serves as a significant risk factor for psycho-emotional disorders. Current clinical guidelines from both Russian and international sources recognize menopausal ho...

Primitive Ternary Relations and Dissociativity in Fibonacci-Type Sequences

This preprint studies support-minimal ternary relations among positive integer sequences satisfying the Fibonacci recurrence uₙ₊₂ = uₙ₊₁ + uₙ. It proves that every nonzero support-minimal relation with coefficients in {−1, 0, 1} has, up to an overall change of sign, the unique fo...

Boltzmann Weighting from Finite Completed-Event Reservoirs: A Conditional QTT Reconstruction of the Canonical Distribution, the Role of k_B, and a Seven-Face Thermal Consistency Ledger

When does finite counting become the canonical Boltzmann law? This paper separates the microscopic support, the probability premise, the reservoir approximation, and the laboratory units map. A finite completed-event reservoir gives the exact subsystem marginal \[ p_a= \frac{g_a\...
