Comparison of the Mechanical Properties of 3D-Printed Materials PET–G and rPET–G

The use of recycled polymers in additive manufacturing has emerged as a promising strategy for reducing the environmental impact of polymer processing. However, the influence of recycling on monotonic and fatigue properties of polymeric materials manufactured by fused deposition...

Analytical Method for Surrounding ROCK Pressure of Shallow-Buried Double-Arch Tunnels Under Variable-Slope Ground Surfaces

Based on limit-equilibrium theory, a calculation method for the surrounding rock pressure of shallow-buried variable-slope arch tunnels is proposed. A calculation model for surrounding rock pressure of variable-slope surfaces is established according to the structure and stress c...

Conformal prediction for spatial data with GAM-trend adjustment

Reliable uncertainty quantification for spatial prediction remains a central challenge due to the sensitivity of classical geostatistical methods, particularly kriging, to assumptions of stationarity, Gaussianity, and correctly specified covariance models.This study presents a pr...

Outcomes in patients with endophthalmitis and no light perception vision initially treated with intravitreal antibiotics

Abstract Background Management of endophthalmitis presenting with NLP (no light perception) vision remains poorly defined, with limited evidence guiding treatment decisions. We aim to investigate whether treatment with intravitreal antibiotics reduces the rate of enucleation or e...

Possibilities Planning and the Minimal Viable Assessment: From Portfolio Design to Adaptive Decision Making

Planning under uncertainty can narrow action to a single path too early, limiting flexibility when conditions change. This article introduces possibilities planning as a portfolio-based approach to coordinated action and decision-making under uncertainty. Rather than converging t...

From Sequence to an Auditable Fold: Smithian Fold Theory V3 Protein Fold Computational Proof — Preliminary Results

Updated preliminary version 0.9.4 of the standalone Smithian Fold Theory V3 Protein Fold computational-proof paper. The scientific gate remains the independently verified v20 boundary: one complete 42,173,082-candidate parent, a closed 583-state high-attraction slice, adverse his...

Adaptive intrathecal nanorobotics in mice and nonhuman primates for navigated CNS therapy

Intrathecal delivery for central nervous system (CNS) therapy lacks spatiotemporal control due to spinal canal anatomical constraints, especially at human scale. We developed an adaptive magnetic nanorobotic platform enabling multimode swarm mobility for in vivo spinal canal navi...

Stroke Risk Prediction Using Logistic Regression and Classification Trees in R

Stroke remains one of the leading causes of death and long-term disability worldwide, and early identification of high-risk individuals can meaningfully improve prevention outcomes. This study applies logistic regression and classification tree methods in R to estimate stroke ris...

Understanding student participation in teaching evaluations: a systematic review of psychological motivators and barriers

Purpose Student evaluation of teaching (SET) are pivotal to quality assurance in higher education, yet participation rates remain inconsistent. Despite considerable research on structural influences, limited attention has been given to the psychological processes underlying stude...

Soil legacy of SiO 2 nanoparticles impedes fall armyworm oviposition by reprogramming constitutive maize volatiles

Abstract BACKGROUND Host–plant selection for oviposition strongly influences herbivorous insect population establishment and crop damage, and is largely mediated by plant volatile cues. Silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SiO 2 NPs) can modify plant–insect interactions, but whether th...

More Than Stress: How Supervisor Support Shapes the Effects of Workplace Harassment on Employee Satisfaction

This study examines the effect of workplace sexual harassment on job satisfaction by investigating the mediating role of job stress and the moderating role of supervisory support. Using data from the Sixth Korean Working Conditions Survey, the study employs the PROCESS macro to e...

LAB #377 PROMISING: LEDGER BENCH: Apply filter: ETHUSD SHORT @ NY_OPEN with 6 conf — improves win rate from 32.4% to 80. — E8 Intelligence Research

IDEA: Adjustment made to the live model — verify against the backtests: Apply filter: ETHUSD SHORT @ NY_OPEN with 6 conf — improves win rate from 32.4% to 80.0% (+47.6pp, n=5) SAME-WINDOW EFFECT: Over the current live trade window, this filter would have no direct impact because...

Pilot study on the evaluation of efficacy, safety, and tolerability of colchicine combined with acetylsalicylic acid versus acetylsalicylic acid alone in the management of minor acute ischemic strokes

Objectives: Stroke constitutes a public health issue globally, with an increased risk of subsequent vascular events. Inflammation is a novel therapeutic target to mitigate this risk. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of colchicine comb...

Stand Age, Standard Retention Density and Site Conditions as Drivers of Shoot Biomass Accumulation in Mediterranean Oak Coppices

ABSTRACT Mediterranean oak coppices represent an important fuelwood resource in Central Italy, but management decisions are often constrained by limited quantitative evidence on the relative importance of stand development, standard retention, site conditions, and climate in driv...

Effects of ursodeoxycholic acid on blood glucose and related metabolic indexes in type 2 diabetes rats

Bile acids (BAs) play critical roles in regulating glucose, lipid and energy metabolism, but its effects on type 2 diabetes is not very clear, we studied the effects of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) intervention on blood glucose and related metabolic indexes in type 2 diabetes rats...

Diurnal parental care in the sexually dichromatic Chestnut-backed Sparrow-Lark Eremopterix leucotis (Alaudidae)

Parental investment strategies are often predicted by sexual dimorphism, with dichromatic species expected to exhibit skewed parental roles due to sexual selection and extra-pair paternity. We investigated the division of diurnal labour (i.e. incubation, brooding, provisioning) i...

Agent-based real-time simulation of autonomous virtual soldiers engaging with moving targets

Virtual combat simulations provide a cost-effective platform for military training; however, their realism is often constrained by deterministic formulations of engagement outcomes against dynamic targets. This study presents a probabilistic attack model for intelligent virtual s...

Survival and associated factors among adult HIV/AIDS patients in a pastoralist area of Borena zone, Ethiopia

HIV/AIDS is the most dangerous disease in the world and affects the functions of all human beings in public health, economics, society, political issues, and communities. Currently, 40.4 million people are living with HIV/AIDS, as the World Health Organization estimated in 2023....
