The diagnostic value of cardiovascular magnetic resonance in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Limited studies compare the clinical applications and diagnostic values of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) versus echocardiography in individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). This study was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of CMR in patients with HCM....

Structural Admission: A deterministic harness for preregistered admission of dependency structure in staged experimental tasks

A staged experimental task in machine learning research carries an implicit claim: that the task contains the dependency structure the study intends to test. When that claim goes unverified, learning results are interpreted against a structure that may not exist in the environmen...

Institutional hiring strategies and research performance: alumni versus non-alumni faculty in business schools

Faculty recruitment strategies, particularly the debate over hiring alumni versus non-alumni candidates, represent a longstanding concern in higher education management. This study investigates whether alumni or non-alumni faculty achieve superior research performance, drawing on...

Standardizing Fertility Preservation Counseling for Pediatric Hematology–Oncology and Transplant and Cellular Therapy Patients: A Quality Improvement Initiative

BACKGROUND: Infertility following gonadotoxic chemotherapy is among the most distressing late effects experienced by childhood cancer survivors, highlighting the importance of fertility preservation (FP) counseling at the time of diagnosis. We aimed to improve the frequency and c...

Kolmogorov Complexity and IIT Share a Mathematical Foundation in Measuring Irreducible Structure — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Kolmogorov complexity and integrated information theory (IIT) share a common mathematical foundation in measuring irreducible structure versus randomness, with IIT's Φ quantifying causal integration akin to algorithmic mutual information. MATH: - Kolmogorov complexity \(...

At risk to be modern? HIV, cinema and the biopolitics of Indian masculinity

This article examines how early 21st-century Indian short films reconfigure masculinity in the wake of economic liberalisation, non-governmental organisation-led public health interventions and the AIDS crisis. Reading Vishal Bhardwaj’s Blood Brothers (2007) and Farhan Akhtar’s P...

Experimental Proposal for Detecting a Physical Empty Guiding Wave in a Polarization Interferometer

This paper proposes an experimental test of the possible physical existence of anempty guiding-wave component associated with a photon in a polarization interfer-ometer.The experiment investigates whether an optical path containing no detected pho-ton excitation may nevertheless...

Penrose Tiling: Fivefold Symmetry in Aperiodic Quasicrystals — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Penrose tiling demonstrates that fivefold rotational symmetry, long considered impossible in periodic crystals, is mathematically possible in aperiodic quasicrystals, revealing a new class of ordered but non-repeating structures. MATH: Golden ratio φ = (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.618;...

Local Government Administration and Rural Infrastructural Development: Evidence from Ife Central Local Government Area

This study investigates the impact of local government administration on rural infrastructure development in Ife Central Local Government Area, Osun State, Nigeria. Local governments, being the tier closest to the grassroots, are constitutionally mandated to drive rural developme...

Ionospheric Modeling by Using a Self-Organizing Map Under Disturbed Conditions

<title>Abstract</title> As solar activity approaches the peak of the 25th solar cycle, the Earth’s upper atmospheric layer, known as the ionosphere, is strongly disturbed by solar activity. Ionospheric disturbances are the main error source of global navigation satellite systems....

German guitars, Lithuanian violins and Norwegian pancakes: metonymy meets the Agreement Hierarchy

Abstract Two-way agreement alternatives are familiar ( this family has/have travelled all night ), but larger systems (with multiple agreement alternatives) are rare and remain poorly understood. Focusing on German, Norwegian and Lithuanian, we see how metonyms and their interact...

CASSIA FISTULA LINN: PHYTOCHEMICAL PROFILE AND BIOMEDICAL APPLICATION

Cassia fistula Linn. (family Fabaceae), commonly known as Indian Laburnum or Golden Shower Tree, is a medicinal plant extensively used in traditional systems of medicine including Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani. The present review highlights the phytochemical profile, traditional ap...

Scaffold Fiber Architecture and Uniaxial Stretch Differentially Regulate Cell and Nuclear Morphology in Human Dermal Fibroblasts.

Cellular and nuclear morphology, together with directional alignment, are fundamental determinants of cell function and play critical roles in the formation, organization, and maintenance of functional fibrous connective tissues. In tissue-engineered systems, these characteristic...

HyperTransUrban: a vision transformer-driven survey of change detection using hyperspectral imaging

In the twenty-first century, urbanization has become one of the most transformative processes, driving significant changes in land use, infrastructure, and environmental conditions. These dynamics underscore the need for accurate urban planning, environmental monitoring, and disa...

Enhancing EFL Oral Proficiency through Video-Based Tasks Implemented in a Flipped Classroom

This study investigates patterns associated with the integration of video-based tasks within a flipped classroom model grounded in task-based language teaching (TBLT) in relation to English as a foreign language (EFL) learners’ speaking fluency, accuracy, and engagement. TBLT emp...

Atmospheric dispersion modelling of black carbon and PM₂.₅ emissions from an iron and steel plant in Ilorin, Nigeria

The iron and steel sector is one of the most aerosol-intensive branches of heavy manufacturing. In Nigeria, where environmental monitoring infrastructure remains sparse and industrial compliance enforcement is still developing, facilities such as the steel production plant in Ilo...
