Reading steppe names: what a transcription channel can and cannot recover from the Chinese record of the Xiongnu

Chinese histories record hundreds of Inner Asian names in characters chosen for their sound, and two thousand years of change in Chinese pronunciation have left the modern Mandarin readings unrelated to what the scribes heard. We model the transcription itself as a noisy channel,...

Whose Voice Survives? A Multi-Translation Reference-Space Framework for Evaluating Narrator Differentiation in LLM Literary Translation: A Case Study of as I Lay Dying

Evaluating literary translation by large language models (LLMs) remains challenging because semantically plausible outputs may still alter the linguistic and cognitive features that distinguish individual narrators. We address this problem by developing and validating a multi-tra...

Radiofrequency Ablation for Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma versus Surgery and Other Thermal Ablation Techniques: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Outcomes

Background: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been proposed for selected patients with low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). This study compared the effectiveness, safety, and procedural characteristics of RFA with those of surgery and other thermal ablation techniques. Met...

Endoscopic Endonasal Approaches to Anterior Cranial Base Meningiomas: Indications, Limitations, and Surgical Decision-Making

Endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) has fundamentally changed the management of anterior skull base meningiomas by enabling access to many lesions through a direct minimally invasive corridor that avoids traditional transcranial exposure. Improvements in endoscopic optical technol...

The Political Consequences of Anti-Populism: Revisiting the Populism Debates in Türkiye (1980s–1990s)

This article revisits debates on populism among Turkish leftist and Marxist intellectuals during the 1980s and 1990s. While contemporary scholarship largely treats populism as a political style, discursive strategy, or new regime type, these earlier debates analysed it through th...

α- and β-Pinene as a Solvent for Metal Halide Nanocrystal Synthesis

Abstract The hot-injection method is widely employed for the synthesis of high-quality nanocrystals, offering fine control over critical parameters that determine their morphology and properties. However, its major drawback lies in the large volume of waste generated, primarily f...

Data-Driven Identification of GelMA Hydrogel Formulations with Bioink-Relevant Properties Using Design of Experiments (DoE) and Machine Learning (ML)

Abstract Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels are promising bioink candidates for extrusion-based 3D bioprinting, but their synthesis and formulation conditions must be optimized to achieve suitable gelation, printability, and mechanical stability. In our study, a design-of-exp...

Ivković Graph-Coupled Chaotic Dynamical Networks for Bounded High-Dimensional Nonlinear Parametric Embedding: A Mathematical, Digital-Simulation and Analogue-Hybrid Framework

Extended author version v1.1 of the paper presented at the 4th LINK IT & EdTech International Scientific Conference. The revision strengthens the mathematical treatment of well-posedness, volume contraction, absorbing boundedness, global existence, synchronization-manifold invari...

Severe Pediatric Ocular Surface Disease: Multimodal Approach and Treatment

Background/Objectives: Pediatric ocular surface disease associated with ocular rosacea, chronic blepharitis and meibomian gland dysfunction may result in significant corneal morbidity. In refractory cases, the limitations of conventional therapy have stimulated interest in adjunc...

Building blocks of localized storm tracks: revisiting asymmetries between the NH and SH in storm track strength

An intermediate-complexity moist general circulation model is used to investigate the forcing of localized storm tracks by land–sea contrast, horizontal gradients in ocean heat uptake, planetary albedo, and topography. The additivity of the response to these building blocks is in...

Quaternion Emergent Coupling Constant for Consciousness as Fifth Force — E8 Intelligence Research

The 40 quaternion units within the E8 lattice, when phase-locked to 132Hz, generate a phi-scaled (≈1.618) coupling constant that quantifies consciousness-field interaction, directly filling the mathematical gap in the fifth force proposal. This constant emerges from the ratio bet...

Thickness-Dependent Spintronic Terahertz Emission in Molecular Beam Epitaxy-Grown PtTe2: From Semiconductor to Type-II Dirac Semimetal

Abstract Spintronic THz emitters are the most practical broadband sources, but their performance is constrained by the spin Hall conductivity of the conversion layer. We show that PtTe2, a type II Dirac semimetal, overcomes this limitation through thickness-driven electronic phas...

Molecular π‐Conjugation Engineering Enables Flexible and Water‐Resistant Organic RTP Materials for Wearable Applications

ABSTRACT Organic room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials for flexible and aquatic applications are limited by triplet exciton instability under deformation and environmental perturbation. Here, molecular π‐conjugation engineering is integrated with polymer‐matrix confine...

Comparative performance of SBR and recycled GFRP in modified asphalt binders and mixtures

Abstract End-of-life glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) components require practical recycling routes, while recycled GFRP (RGFRP) can reduce the low-temperature flexibility of asphalt. This study evaluated whether styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) could offset this limitation in...

Complement Signaling and Regulated Cell Death in Immune-Mediated Glomerular Injury

The complement system is a central component of innate immunity, with essential roles in host defense, immune complex clearance, apoptotic cell removal, and tissue homeostasis. In the kidney, glomerular and tubular structures are continuously exposed to circulating and locally pr...

Alternative Hydrodynamics Model Based on Density Gradient

An alternative hydrodynamics model is proposed in which fluid velocity is defined as a function of density gradient rather than being an independent variable.

Reframing Museum Intelligence: A Survey of Large Language Models in Museums

Large language models (LLMs) have recently emerged as a transformative technology for museums, enabling a shift from static content delivery toward interactive and intelligent systems. However, existing studies and deployments remain fragmented, with a lack of systematic analysis...

Anesthesia as a Partner in Public Health: Enabling National Pediatric SARS-CoV-2 Serosurveillance in Australia

Anesthetic departments played a critical role in Australia’s COVID-19 response by facilitating the collection of residual blood samples from children undergoing elective procedures. Through a partnership with the Pediatric Active Enhanced Disease Surveillance network, this approa...
