The atomic‐scale consolidation of wear debris into a debris‐derived tribological layer is critical to the sliding response of martensitic stainless steel, yet the role of initial microstructure in debris bonding remains elusive. This study elucidates these mechanisms by coupling...

ENTANGLEMENT-BASED QUANTUM COMMUNICATION OVER 144 KM
This article develops an expanded critical–propositional analysis of Rupert Ursin and collaborators’ experiment, “Entanglement-Based Quantum Communication over 144 km,” published in Nature Physics in 2007, in systematic dialogue with the Theory of Objectivity (TO) developed by Vi...

Editing by prompt. How professional editors use ChatGPT when revising business texts
Writing technologies shape writing processes and practices. This was true of word processing, speech recognition, and writing with internet-based sources, each of which changed how writers produced and revised text. Generative AI may have an even more fundamental impact because i...

Context Multiple-use marine parks vary spatially in how they are managed, which may influence ecological response over time. Aims We surveyed four key targeted species (snapper, Chrysophrys auratus; pearl perch, Glaucosoma scapulare; venus tuskfish, Choerodon venustus; grey morwo...

A few vectors for a mixed folder: a pre-registered measurement of pooled directory embeddings
A folder's metadata is read before its files and holds a few kilobytes. A vector stored there can route a query without opening the folder, and the cheapest is the mean of its files' embeddings. We ask when the mean is enough and what to store when it is not. Under our main visio...

Being and Being This: Haecceity and the Univocal Concept of Being in Duns Scotus
Abstract Haecceity is often understood as a theoretical construct posited by Duns Scotus to explain individuation. This characterization is flawed in two ways: first, it lends haecceity an ad hoc appearance and obscures the fact that it is called for by Scotus’s most basic philos...

Abstract The Elaine Dorothy Cu-Au deposit, located in the Mary Kathleen Domain of the Mount Isa Inlier, Australia, records the interaction of Paleoproterozoic skarn metasomatism, fluid evolution, and deformation. The deposit is hosted by carbonate- and calc-silicate-rich rocks of...

OBJECTIVE: Epilepsy significantly affects daily functioning and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of those living with the condition. Less is known about HRQOL of family caregivers of adults with epilepsy, yet the functioning of patients and caregivers is interlinked, and ca...

FRALEX-TDP-006: A Clamp Is a Load Path Not a Cover
A bolted clamp that has stopped a leak has proved its seal, not its load path. This white paper sets out what a mechanical enclosure must demonstrate before it is accepted as a repair: damage mapped beyond the visible leak, a defined path for every load including pressure thrust,...

Abstract Medial epicondylitis (ME), or golfer’s elbow, is a common musculoskeletal condition affecting the common flexor tendon, yet little is known about how comorbidities, including tobacco use, relate to its diagnosis and to the need for surgery. We retrospectively analyzed th...

Deep learning classifiers for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis from transvaginal ultrasound are commonly accompanied by post-hoc explanations such as Grad-CAM, which are typically validated only qualitatively, by visual inspection of a small number of heatmaps. This pap...
