YOLO26-USW: A Slice-Aided Semantic–Detail Fusion Detector for Small Insects in High-Resolution Agricultural Light-Trap Images

Detecting small insects in high-resolution agricultural light-trap images is difficult because resizing obscures fine morphology and densely distributed insects often appear similar. We developed YOLO26-USW using PVTv2-B1-based UNet-PVT feature enhancement, the Semantic–Detail Fu...

A Database-Centered Geospatial Infrastructure for Autonomous Vehicle Digital Twins: A Framework Integrating Semantic ODD Layers, Runtime Telemetry, and 3D Urban Context

Autonomous Vehicle (AV) Digital Twins require persistent geospatial infrastructures that connect semantic, spatial, temporal, environmental, road-reference, and 3D urban information across simulation and visualization. This study proposes a database-centered framework integrating...

Systematic review of clinical trials and cohort studies evaluating HIV post‐exposure prophylaxis (PEP) regimens to inform updated Canadian guidelines

Abstract Background We conducted a systematic review of clinical trials and cohort studies on HIV post‐exposure prophylaxis (PEP) regimens to inform updated 2025 Canadian guidelines. Methods We searched Medline and Embase (July 2017–June 2024) for studies reporting on: HIV acquis...

Few-Shot Aircraft Door Detection with Visibility-Aware Geometric Regularization

Aircraft-door detection is a key perception component for automated passenger boarding bridges, but its performance can degrade substantially under limited annotations, illumination changes, partial occlusion, and viewpoint variation. To address this problem, we propose a multi-c...

Windows and Mirrors: An Academic Scrutiny of DOORM's "Six Blocks" Digital Health Community — A Proof-of-Concept Study Using Behavior Change Technique Coding and a Governance Frame

This preprint is a public-material proof-of-concept design scrutiny of DOORM's Therapeutic Society Six Blocks digital health community (https://personalinformationtower.com/zh#streets). Using BCT coding and a five-element governance frame, it analyzes role-based entry, today's-po...

Line-Conditioned Orthographic Organization in the Voynich Manuscript

The Voynich manuscript exhibits well-known restrictions on word forms and their distributions, but the relationship between local sequential structure and the physical organization of written lines remains contested. We analyze a conservative reconstruction of the ZL3b EVA transc...

Cinnabarinic Acid Accumulation by Pycnoporus cinnabarinus in Three Submerged Culture Systems and Bacterial Growth-Inhibitory Activity of the Crude Extracts

Cinnabarinic acid (CA) is a phenoxazinone metabolite produced by Pycnoporus fungi and reported to have antibacterial activity. This study compared CA production by Pycnoporus cinnabarinus HEMIM-53 in three culture systems, Shake flasks (FSK), a Stirred-tank reactor (STR), and an...

Synthesis of an α-lipoic acid/poly (acrylic acid) based self-healing polymer for potential medical surface-protection applications

Mechanical damage can promote corrosion and microbial accumulation on medical-contact surfaces, while self-healing polymers restore surface integrity and functional performance. In this study, a multi-dynamic self-healing polymer was developed by combining an independently synthe...

Effects of Ketamine and Esketamine on Postoperative Delirium After General Anesthesia: A Meta-Analysis and Meta-Regression Analysis

BACKGROUND: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a frequent and serious complication, particularly in older adults undergoing major surgery. Pharmacologic prevention remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate whether perioperative ketamine or esketamine reduces POD incidence and to...

A 500 m deep multipurpose research borehole and monitoring station in Delft, the Netherlands

The 500 m deep DAPGEO-02 multifunctional research borehole and monitoring station was drilled in Delft in spring 2022. Dinoflagellate biostratigraphy reveals that the borehole goes through the Neogene Upper North Sea Group, including the Waalre, Maassluis, Oosterhout, Diessen, an...

Bioactive Nanoparticle-Enriched Mango Beverages: Phenolic Profile, Antioxidant Capacity, and Yeast-Model Biological Activity

Abstract The development of nutraceutical beverages enriched with nanostructured systems of bioactive compounds represents an innovative strategy to enhance the stability and biological functionality of phytochemicals of interest. The present study aimed to formulate beverages de...

Study on Corrosion and Thermal Alteration of MgAl$_2$O$_4$ and MgO Ceramics With Lead at 750 °C for Use in High‐Temperature Thermal Energy Storage

Thermal-energy-storage (TES) systems are promising for decarbonizing industry by storing waste heat generated by high-temperature processes. Used as heat transfer fluid (HTF), liquid-metal-based TES offer a broad liquid operating range and high thermal conductivity, making them e...

N1-Methylpseudouridine-Modified mRNA-Transfected Dendritic Cells Enable Efficient Generation of Functional Tumor Antigen-Specific Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes

Efficient generation of tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) remains challenging. Although mRNA-based approaches enable the delivery and expression of diverse tumor-specific antigens, unmodified mRNA can trigger innate immune responses that suppress translation. Here, we...

Residual-gated generative additive joint-bias identification and uncertainty-weighted fault compensation for quadruped robots with scarce data

Repeated actuator-fault injection on a physical quadruped is costly and can damage motors or gearboxes, which makes continuous fault-value identification difficult when only scarce sequences are available. This study targets command-equivalent additive joint bias. A temporal gene...

Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling of Bubble Column Reactors: Review

Abstract Bubble column reactors are essential equipment in the process industries, with a wide range of applications, but their hydrodynamics and design are very complex. For the past five decades, researchers and industry have relied on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to pred...

Spin Networks: The Sole Mathematical Bridge to Sacred Geometry — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: The search results are largely noise — arXiv abstracts on hexaquarks, traffic flow, graph recoloring, and leaf counting — with only one direct hit on Penrose's spin network formalism, which is the sole item with genuine mathematical depth relevant to sacred geometry. | M...

Multiomics Profiling Supports Cathepsin B as a Protective Factor in White Matter Hyperintensities and Cognition

BACKGROUND: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are a common brain magnetic resonance imaging marker of cerebral small vessel disease and a major risk factor for stroke and dementia, yet the molecular mechanisms governing lesion formation remain incompletely understood. We sought...
