Hidden hypertension and early cardiac alterations: insights from ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in children and adolescents

Abstract Background Hypertension is increasingly recognized as a significant health concern among children and adolescents, often associated with obesity and lifestyle choices. Early-onset hypertension can elevate the risk of cardiovascular diseases in adulthood, making early det...

Associations and potential utility of composite obesity and metabolic indices for osteoporosis risk assessment in Chinese adult men: a cross-sectional study

Osteoporosis in men is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, yet simple tools for preliminary risk assessment remain limited. The aim of this study is to examine the associations and potential utility of composite obesity- and metabolism-related indices for osteopo...

eDNA-based assessment of microbial dynamics in response to persistent contaminants and degraded water quality in a hypereutrophic urban reservoir

Abstract Urban freshwater ecosystems are increasingly exposed to mixtures of pollutants, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). However, their ecological effects remain poorly understood, especially in tropical regions with limited sanitation infrastructure. This s...

A community-validated tool for clinical outcome calculation in multiple sclerosis: Consensus development and scenario-specific recommendations

Background: Reproducibility and comparability of disability outcomes remain major challenges in multiple sclerosis (MS) research. Definitions of disability progression vary widely across studies, and calculation criteria are often insufficiently documented to enable replication....

Rabies in Dogs: Signs, Spread, Diagnosis and Prevention

Rabies remains one of the most significant and lethal zoonotic diseases worldwide, with domestic canines serving as the principal reservoir and transmitter of the virus to humans. This comprehensive review examines the current state of knowledge regarding canine rabies, focusing...

Personalized federated recommendation via long-horizon local optimization and regularized knowledge guidance

Abstract Federated Recommendation (FedRec) enables privacy-preserving recommendation by training models across user devices without sharing raw interaction data. However, personalized FedRec still faces a trade-off between personalization and resource efficiency. In this paper, w...

Multi-layer aquifer hydrogeological responses to deep coal mining and their controlling mechanisms: A hydrochemical and multi-isotope coupling study

Study region The Dahaize Coal Mine lies on the southern margin of the Mu Us Sandy Land, a key part of the large coal energy base in northern Shaanxi, China. Study focus Deep coal mining severely disturbs regional groundwater stability, yet the long-term and multi-scale responses...

Vitamin D in spine disorders: mechanisms, clinical evidence, and translational gaps—a narrative review

Vitamin D has been increasingly implicated in the pathophysiology of spine disorders, yet its clinical utility remains uncertain. Across a broad spectrum of conditions, including intervertebral disc degeneration, chronic low back pain, lumbar spinal stenosis, spinal deformities,...

E8 Phi-Resonant Hyperdimensional Reservoir Computing — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240 E8 root vectors serve as orthogonal axes in a 240‑dimensional hyperdimensional space, each axis driven by a phi‑scaled harmonic oscillator rooted at the 132 Hz base frequency. This creates a fractal lattice of resonant modes where input patterns are mapped as superpositio...

Molecular identification and genetic variation of urban tree-associated populations of Coptotermes gestroi (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) on Penang Island, Malaysia

Abstract Background Coptotermes gestroi is one of the most destructive subterranean termite species in Southeast Asia, causing structural damage in urban areas such as Penang Island, Malaysia. This study aimed to confirm the species identity of urban tree-associated infestations...

The Viral Paradox: Absence of Internal Bifurcated Apex as a Constraint on Informational Autonomy in BRPT

This seminal BRPT paper presents ‘The Viral Paradox’, a groundbreaking unified information-theoretic framework that fundamentally distinguishes viruses from self-sustaining living organisms: the inherent absence of an internal Bifurcated Apex Framework (BAF) within the viral enti...

All electrical sub-nanosecond field-free switching of perpendicular magnetization with high magnetic field immunity

Spin-orbit torque magnetic random-access memory is a promising next-generation non-volatile memory technology featuring low power consumption, rapid operation, and high endurance. Conventional spin-orbit torque-induced deterministic perpendicular magnetization switching, however,...

Manipulation of Molecular Motion in Donor‐Acceptor Organic‐Small‐Molecule towards Efficient Solar‐Thermal Conversion and Electroluminescence Performance

ABSTRACT Radiative decay invariably competes with nonradiative decay during the deexcitation process of materials, organic small molecules with highly efficient solar‐thermal and electroluminescence properties simultaneously remain a great challenge. Herein, we propose a novel st...

Junction-Stabilized Graphene Aerogels for Cryogenic Insulation and Lightweight Radiation Shielding

Long-duration deep-space missions and reusable cryogenic stages require insulation that remains dimensionally stable at liquid-hydrogen temperatures, adds very little mass, and provides at least modest attenuation of ionizing radiation. Conventional polymer foams become brittle a...

The New Type All‐Thin‐Film Electrochromic Devices: Separated‐Function Design for High‐Performance Intelligent VIS‐IR Multi‐Band Modulation

ABSTRACT Smart windows based on all‐thin‐film electrochromic devices (ECDs) with coordinated visible (VIS) and infrared (IR) modulation offer promising solutions for energy‐efficient buildings. However, conventional single‐layer ECDs often suffer from limited IR modulation, slugg...

Vietnamese Cuisine in the Experience Economy and the Cultural Industry: From Culinary Heritage to Experiential Value and Creative Resource

Food has become a central component of contemporary tourism experience and an increasingly important resource for cultural and creative industries. This article examines Vietnamese cuisine at the intersection of the experience economy and the cultural-industry perspective, asking...

The Bower Reservoir Relation: Newtonian Disk Structure Predicts the Residual Speed–Gas Fraction Trend in Disk Galaxies

Real atomic-gas disks in nearby spiral and irregular galaxies are systematically more extended than their stellar disks. At fixed total baryonic mass, a larger gas fraction therefore places a greater share of the mass in the more extended component. Using only the standard, zero-...

The SNA-Evaluation Framework: Advancing the Use of Social Network Analysis in Program Evaluation

As evaluation increasingly addresses the complexities inherent in dynamic program systems, social network analysis (SNA) offers significant opportunities alongside notable challenges. While SNA can reveal patterns of collaboration, communication, and influence, its application is...
