“Kids Don't Know Where to Look!”: Using Think‐Alouds to Teach Students to Interpret Diagrams

ABSTRACT Elementary students frequently encounter diagrams and flowcharts in science texts, yet many engage with them only at a surface level. They can identify labels or colors but struggle to understand how visual features work together to convey meaning. This article introduce...

Autistic Features, Social Camouflaging, and Identity Formation Within a Non-Clinical College Student Population

Research on autistic features and identity development has indicated that autistic traits are positively associated with disturbances in identity development. Characteristic attributes of autism, such as circumscribed interests and differences in social relatedness, align with se...

Smart Design: Integrating Artificial Intelligence and Gene Editing for Advanced mRNA Therapeutics

ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) and gene editing are increasingly being applied to the design and evaluation of mRNA therapeutics. Although mRNA‐based medicines have achieved clear clinical impact in vaccination, broader applications remain limited by mRNA instability, deli...

Fostering customer creativity in virtual innovation communities: The impact of inclusive climates and customer engagement

Virtual innovation communities have become important settings for customer participation in innovation, yet the process through which inclusive community climates foster customer creativity remains insufficiently understood. Drawing on conservation of resources theory, this study...

Thirty Names per Sign: The Zodiac Ring Labels of the Voynich Manuscript as Two-Letter Sigla, and a Falsification Pipeline for Degree-Name Cribs

The circular "zodiac" diagrams of the Voynich Manuscript (ff. 70v-73v) carry short labels, about thirty per sign. Building on the workshop-cipher model of the companion paper, we show that these labels are not running text but a distinct register, best described as two-letter sig...

Testing a single fundamental principle that yields general relativity, particle physics, and gauge anomaly cancellation

The Lagrangians of general relativity and of the standard model of particle physics with massive neutrinos follow from a single fundamental principle based on fluctuating strands of Planck radius. The approach yields unique and running values for the elementary particle masses an...

Disability, participation, and accessibility governance: a scoping review of advisory committee experiences

. Our findings emphasize the need for a deeper understanding of the quality of experiences in advisory boards and for better support for people with disabilities in their civic engagement roles.

PnR_Computing_A_Turing-Complete_Model_In_A_Social_Setting

The traditional input-process-output (IPO) model of computing, widely used in controlled environments, assumes a clear and direct flow from input to process to output. However, in a social or real-world context, such a linear view becomes ambiguous. In any social interaction, the...

Lipoprotein(a) as a Cardiovascular Risk Factor: Clinical Significance and Therapeutic Perspectives

Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is an elusive yet powerful cardiovascular risk factor, largely independent of LDL cholesterol. Elevated Lp(a) increases the risk of coronary artery disease, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, calcific aortic valve disease, heart failure, and abdominal aor...

Hyperfine Coupling Ratio Unity in Tetrahedral Symmetry Linked to A₃ Coxeter Number — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Hyperfine coupling ratio unity in tetrahedral symmetry relates to Coxeter number of A3 root system, with antiferromagnetic spin pumping via hyperfine interaction. MATH: Coxeter number h for A₃ = 4; root system rank = 3; hyperfine coupling ratio = 1 (unity); spin current...

Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on Organizational Performance among Medium and Large-Scale Firms in Kano State, Nigeria

This study examines the impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on organizational performance among medium and large-scale enterprises in Kano State, Nigeria. Although many firms in the state engage in CSR activities, empirical evidence on how these activities translate i...

Selberg Trace Formula Links Prime Geodesics, Spectral Data, and Golden Ratio — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Selberg trace formula links prime geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces to spectral data, with deep connections to quadratic irrationals and the golden ratio's irrationality measure. | MATH: Selberg trace formula: ∑_{λ_j} h(λ_j) = ∑_{γ} ∫_{Γ_γ\G} h(k) dk + (geodesic terms). P...

Small molecule inhibitor of orphan GPCR dimerization improves host defense and blood pressure control in mice

Orphan GPCRs of the GPRC5 family regulate macrophage activity and vascular contractility by dimerizing with other GPCRs, but pharmacological modulation of this process has not been explored. We previously identified the dimerization interface of receptor GPRC5B and show here that...

Dark Energy as Residual Vacuum Free Energy: A Thermodynamic Bound on the Cosmological Constant

The cosmological constant problem remains one of the deepest puzzles in theoretical physics: naive quantum field theory estimates of the vacuum energy density exceed the observed value by roughly 120 orders of magnitude. We propose a thermodynamic variational principle that const...

Gating and Normalization Interact in the Attention Block

We study how an elementwise sigmoid attention-output gate interacts with normalization placement in small causal transformers (29–36M parameters). A 54-model main sweep crosses three schemes (pre-norm; pre-norm + QK-norm; sandwich + QK-norm), three depths, three seeds, and models...

Turing Completeness of Arithmetic-Progression Operator Spaces: Dyadic Cylinder Algebra, Stack Simulation, Symbolic 2 2-Adic Completion, and the Collatz Realization Problem

We construct a closed arithmetic-progression operator calculus whose states are dyadic index cylinders, finite disjoint cylinder families, inherited weights, and finite control labels. For every finite binary word \(u\), the associated cylinder is an arithmetic progression and ha...

Gravity from Displacement of Vacuum Entropy

This paper develops an entropic formulation of gravity in which the geometry of space and the flow of time arise from the density of vacuum entropy. In this framework—the Entropic Cosmological Model (ECM)—the vacuum possesses an intrinsic entropy per unit volume, and physical mea...

MERLIN SCIENCE — E8 Theta Function: Modular Form Linking Lattice Points to Spectral Geo — E8 Intelligence Research

Here is the narration for the MERLIN SCIENCE video. Here is the finding in one clean sentence: The theta function of the E8 lattice is a modular form of weight four for the full modular group, and its Fourier coefficients, which count lattice points by squared norm, connect direc...

Performance-Aware Deep Learning for Stock Trend Prediction and Investment Decision-Making

Deep learning methods are increasingly being applied to stock market prediction, with growing evidence that they can extract useful structure from financial time-series and related textual signals. However, prediction alone is not sufficient. In practice, model outputs must also...

PAPER-FBT02A: The S-Gate as a Strict Affine Central Charge

We formulate the residual S-sector in the Fracture–Berry–Tension (FBT) framework as a strict affine central-charge sector. The central point is that the physically relevant S-direction is not merely a finite-dimensional commuting u(1) factor, but the genuine onedimensional center...
