Abstract Gavialoidea is presently composed of only two extant crocodylian species, the Indian gharial Gavialis gangeticus, and the false gharial Tomistoma schlegelii, both from southeast Asia. However, Gavialoidea displays a rich and near-cosmopolitan diversity in the fossil reco...

MACROSCOPE — Case Studies Part One
This preprint presents Case Studies Part One of the Macroscope research program. It applies the fixed Macroscope parameter register to two deliberately contrasting cases: Operation Northwoods as a source-rich but trajectory-poor documentary case, and the visual Mandela effect as...

Abstract Excessive CO2 emissions constitute a primary driver of global climate change, creating an urgent need for efficient CO2 capture technologies. Ionic liquids (ILs) are considered highly promising absorbents. However, their vast chemical space poses significant challenges f...

Sn/Zr Mixed-Metal Clusters in MOFs as Lewis Acid Catalysts for Biomass-Derived HMF Synthesis
Abstract The depletion of fossil fuels has spurred the search for sustainable routes to platform chemicals, yet the efficient conversion of biomass-derived fructose to 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) remains challenging. While Sn-based Lewis acids are promising catalysts for this...

THE UNIFIED COGNITIVE STACK.
- Physics & SpaceOpen access
The 50-year-old Montgomery–Dyson correspondence, R₂(r) = 1 − (sin(πr) / (πr))² ≡ R₂(u) is neither a numerical coincidence nor an abstract random-matrix postulate. We identify the quantum spectral spacing variable r as an incommensurate transition beat frequency ratio (r ∉ ℤ). In...

The reactivation of the Niscemi landslide (southern Italy) after the Cyclone Harry
Abstract On January 25, 2026, a large compound slide affected the southern and western slopes of the Niscemi mesa (SE Sicily), causing severe damage to settlements and the evacuation of approximately 1500 people. The event occurred approximately one week after Cyclone Harry, whic...

Abstract Pesticides are important environmental pollutants that require effective removal to protect ecosystems and human health. This study investigated carbofuran removal from water using KOH-activated carbon derived from Pistacia khinjuk Stocks (bıttım) shell waste. The result...

Valorization of petroleum coke into high-quality few-layer graphene through liquid-phase exfoliation
Abstract Low-value fuel-grade petroleum coke (petcoke), an abundant byproduct from petroleum refining operations, is traditionally used in low-value fuel and metallurgical applications owing to its high carbon content and ability to be used in the synthesis of advanced carbon mat...

RSL24D1 links ribosome biogenesis to p53 activation in melanoma
Abstract Melanoma cells exhibit elevated translation activity and rely on intact ribosomes to sustain their high protein synthesis demand. To support this process, efficient ribosome biogenesis is essential. RSL24D1 is a ribosome biogenesis factor required for late-stage maturati...

Developing a new CT-based bone defect classification in revision knee arthroplasty
Aims To seek consensus on the principles and criteria necessary to develop a CT-based bone defect classification (BDC) for revision knee arthroplasty. Methods A three-round structured Delphi study was conducted. First, five interviews were held with international knee revision ex...

Temporally Validated Models for Target “Tclin-likeness”
Abstract Identifying which human proteins are likely to become validated drug targets remains a challenge in drug discovery. We build on the “Tclin” concept, which encompasses proteins for which at least one approved drug exerts its mode of action (MoA); these comprise only ∼3% o...

Abstract Contemporary cognitive engineering, autonomous robotics, and biometric surveillance paradigms operate under the chronic delusion that perception and defensive action must be perpetually predictive, computationally intensive, and software-mediated. This monograph establis...

Modelling plant disease spread via high-resolution human mobility networks
Abstract Human mobility plays a crucial role in the spread of human diseases but is rarely quantified in plant disease epidemics. To address this gap, we integrate a unique, high-resolution network of human movements in New Zealand with a metapopulation model to mechanistically s...

Nonlinear longitudinal stress coupling in glacier and ice sheet flow
Abstract The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets exhibit high variability in flow speed, over multiple orders of magnitude. This flow integrates forcings from complex, multi-scale and spatially heterogeneous pressure gradient and friction fields into smooth and continuous flow fie...

Abstract Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulates around and through the brain, supporting neural homeostasis by regulating the extracellular chemical environment. Yet, the physical mechanisms governing CSF-driven solute transport remain poorly understood, limiting the design of diag...

Direct physical sample return from extraterrestrial atmospheres remains an unexecuted frontier in deep-space exploration, in part because conventional planetary orbit insertion (POI) and dedicated multi-stage rocket ascent from deep gravity wells can impose substantial propellant...
