Enhancing Resilience of Silty Clay Soils with Basalt Fibers: Evaluating Geotechnical Performance under Freeze–Thaw Cycles and Temperature Variations

Abstract Freeze–thaw (F-T) cycles critically degrade the mechanical performance of fine-grained soils, challenging infrastructure resilience in cold regions. Silty clayey soils in northern Quebec, which have high frost susceptibility and water retention, are particularly vulnerab...

Lensing Excess as a Geometric Projection: A No-Refit Prediction with \(A_{\rm rel}=19/15\)

We test whether the galaxy-galaxy lensing excess (where light appears to cross more geometry than massive tracers) follows a universal geometric conversion rather than a fitted dark matter halo amplitude. Derived from tensor projection identities, the leading optical closure pred...

DRCC-Width ZETA Method (DWZ-V2)

We study a controlled, finite-width approximation of the Riemann zeta function in the critical strip, the region between the boundary lines on which the real part of the complex variable equals zero and one. Our starting point is the DRCC stability condition, Dimensional Reductio...

plan-failure-bench: A Machine-Checkable Benchmark of How Language Model Planners Fail

Evaluations of language model planners mostly rest on foundations a reader cannot audit: success rates that cannot tell a model refusing every task from one walking into every trap, ground-truth labels that are authored rather than proved, and human or LLM judges somewhere in the...

Behaviours That Challenge in Special Schools: Heterogeneity of Profiles Among Students With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and Implications for Educational Support

ABSTRACT Background This study aimed to examine the types and frequency of challenging behaviours (CB) among students with intellectual and developmental disabilities in special education schools and identify profiles among them. Methods Data were collected from 239 special schoo...

Distribution of prime numbers

The solution for the distribution of prime numbers.

Confirming the Factor Structure, Concurrent Validity, and Testing the Measurement Invariance Across Gender and Sexual Orientation for the Process-Based Consent Scale

The Process-Based Consent Scale (PBCS) was developed to reflect contemporary consent attitudes and practices, with three subscales (Ongoing Consent, Subtle Coercion, and Communicative Sexuality) emerging through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. However, its measureme...

The Ostrowski Dimensionless Reformulation v3.0: A Place-Democratic Foundation for Fundamental Physics

Version 3.0 (major refactor, 2026-08-02). Restructured as a definitive primary paper. The refined Ostrowski thesis (6 refinements) is now the centerpiece, with the red-team response condensed to a single concluding section. Research roadmap expanded with 5 concrete programs. The...

Biogenically synthesized of five different plant-derived silver nanoparticles as natural weapon against sheath blight disease of rice and its characterization

Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was carried out using extracts from five plant species: neem (Azadirachta indica), tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), bishkatali (Persicaria lapathifolia), garlic (Allium sativum), and ginger (Zingiber officinale). The formation of silver nanopar...

A systematic review of generative AI in higher education learning analytics and decision support

The rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), particularly large language models (LLMs), has introduced transformative possibilities for learning analytics (LA) in higher education. Despite growing empirical work, no prior review appears to provide an integ...

Riemann Zeta Zeros Exhibit GUE Spectral Rigidity Linking Primes to Quantum Chaos — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Riemann zeta zeros exhibit spectral rigidity matching Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) random matrices with β=2, linking prime distribution to quantum chaotic systems. MATH: - Level spacing distribution for GUE: \( P(s) \approx \frac{32}{\pi^2} s^2 e^{-\frac{4}{\pi} s^2}...

Photocatalytic degradation of crystal violet by AgBiO 3 /rGO-CNT nanocomposite under visible light irradiation

The synthesis and design of nanocomposite have been attracted to reducing environmental pollution. This study developed a combination of silver bismuthate (AgBiO3) and reduced graphene oxide/carbon nanotube (rGO-CNT) through the hydrothermal method to evaluate its photocatalytic...

A Fixed-Axis Electron-Spin Interface Identification from Coherent Boundary Handedness in an Ordered Scalar-Field Model

This paper is archived as a speculative research work. This paper addresses the restricted question of whether an exact electron-like ordered scalar-field record supplies the native two-valued axial degree represented as electron spin at an established spacetime interface; it doe...

Golden Ratio Projection of 6D Lattice Yields Icosahedral Quasicrystals — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Quasicrystals arise from projection of 6D hypercubic lattice using golden ratio τ as inflation scaling factor, enabling fivefold symmetry in physical 3D space. | MATH: τ = (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.618; τ² = τ+1 ≈ 2.618; τ⁻¹ = τ-1 ≈ 0.618; τ⁻² = 2-τ ≈ 0.382; 6D hypercubic lattice → 3...

Spectral Detection of Correlated Errors on Superconducting Quantum Hardware via Parity-Circuit Canaries

Standard device characterization protocols, such as Randomized Benchmarking (RB), typically report averaged, independent error rates per qubit. However, these methods are largely blind to correlated errors between neighbouring qubits: errors that fundamentally break the independe...

Sexual dimorphism in root exudation mediates belowground neighbor recognition and shapes rhizosphere soil microbial assembly

Summary Sexual dimorphism in physiological traits is a hallmark of dioecious plants, yet whether these differences extend belowground to mediate neighbor recognition and rhizosphere microbiome assembly remains largely unexplored. Using split‐root experiments, 13 C‐pulse labeling,...

This paper presents an autoethnographic and phenomenological investigation into the nature of devotion (bhakti) through a first-person field study conducted in Vrindavan, India. Motivated by the desire to understand devotional practice from lived experience rather than inherited...

Treatment Persistence of Interleukin-17 Inhibitors and Factors Associated with Persistence in Patients with Psoriasis Vulgaris in Japan: Retrospective Database Study

Psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) is a chronic, immune-mediated skin disorder that significantly impairs quality of life and often necessitates long-term systemic therapy, especially in moderate-to-severe cases. In Japan, biologic agents targeting interleukin-17 (IL-17) have become centra...
