Influence of automated façades on the soundscape outside of buildings

As automation is progressively more present in buildings, it is important to understand its impact on people’s experience of urban environments. This case study investigated how one automated shading system with motorized venetian blinds affects sound perception of the acoustic e...

Effect of resistance, balance, and aerobic training on strength, mobility, balance, and quality of life in older adults with sarcopenia: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Sarcopenia is an age-related condition characterized by gradual loss of muscle mass and strength, leading to reduced physical function, often observed among older adults. This review aimed to evaluate the effects of resistance, aerobic, and balance exercises on muscle strength, f...

Counting 3-Term Arithmetic Progressions in Integer Hypercubes

In this research note, we generalize the combinatorial problem of counting 3-term arithmetic progressions in the $n\times n$ grid to the integer hypercube of arbitrary dimension $d\ge1$ denoted $[1,n]^{d}$. Counting exclusively strictly increasing progressions using a bijection b...

Staphylococcus aureus–associated pyomyositis complicated by deep vein thrombosis and septic pulmonary embolism in a malnourished child: a case report

Septic pulmonary embolism (SPE) is a rare, life-threatening complication of venous thromboembolism in children, occurring when an infected thrombus from an extrapulmonary focus embolizes to the pulmonary circulation. The co-occurrence of acute musculoskeletal infection, deep veno...

Reply-Induced Deletion Geometry in Shogi : Incidence Structures, Fragility Spectra, and Co-Deletion Graphs

We introduce a finite combinatorial structure for measuring how a legal Shogi move's immediate board-influence relation is destroyed by the opponent's legal one-ply replies. For a position $P$ and a legal candidate move $m$, rows index all legal replies and columns index the move...

Query-Relative Soundness of Legal-Reply Compression in Shogi : Quotient Criteria, Canonical Repair, and Action-Edge Counterexamples

Compressing a finite set of legal Shogi replies into coarse classes can reduce the amount of downstream checking, but such compression is meaningful only relative to what is being asked about those replies. We formalize this point as a query-relative quotient condition. For a pos...

The cost-effectiveness of biosimilar denosumab in postmenopausal osteoporosis: implications of baseline fracture risk and drug price

Biosimilar denosumab is a dominant treatment strategy (i.e., more effective and less costly) across varying levels of baseline fracture risk with sufficient price reductions. Given its superior efficacy and safety, it may be considered a first-line therapy for the treatment of wo...

A Finite Obstruction to Heisenberg Carrier Selection from Admissibility Constraints

We test whether the admissibility axioms of the Cosmochrony framework, together with Born–Infeld parity, select a finite Heisenberg group and its irreducible carrier. The load-bearing algebraic implication is that a finite faithful irreducible unitary carrier, equipped with a min...

Developmental dynamics of ovine lung in health and cystic fibrosis at single-cell resolution

Abstract The sheep lung has long been used to model aspects of the human lung, both its normal development and pathological changes that occur in ovine models of lung disease. The similarities between the two species provide an opportunity to investigate phases of lung developmen...

An Infinite Family of Thue Equations With at Most Two Solutions

For an odd positive integer , defineWe prove that, for ≥ 5, the Thue equation ( , ) = 1 has exactly two solutions in integers and , namely (1, 0) and (-1, 0), and that the Thue equation ( , ) = -1 has no solutions.Our result is a consequence of the famous theorem of Bilu, Hanrot...

Signals from the noise: Decoding global AI discourse in central bank communications

This study examines how artificial intelligence (AI) has entered and evolved within the official communication of central banks. Using an archive of central bankers’ speeches covering 1996–2024, we develop a multi-stage NLP framework that combines an AI–finance lexicon validated...

Structure-property relationships in biopolyurethane/acrylate hybrid films: Role of chain extender and acrylic content

Waterborne polyurethane/acrylic (PU/AC) hybrid dispersions are widely used in coatings applications due to their low environmental impact and tailorable thermomechanical performance, and are typically composed of particles with a core-shell morphology. Controlling phase morpholog...

Microstructure and optical–infrared properties of vacuum-annealed Ag–TiN–Al2O3 coatings

This study investigates the structural and optical–infrared (IR) characteristics of Ag–TiN–Al2O3 multilayer coatings deposited via magnetron sputtering on silicon substrates and subjected to vacuum annealing at 300°C, 400°C, and 500°C. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the for...

Risk factors for tuberculosis: a nationwide cohort study among Greenlanders in Denmark, 2005–2022, highlighting social vulnerability

In tuberculosis (TB) low-incidence countries, TB is becoming increasingly concentrated in marginalised populations. Progress towards TB elimination therefore requires targeted interventions informed by knowledge on the determinants of disease in specific subpopulations. In Denmar...

Delayed methotrexate toxicity after initial clearance in a critically ill patient with severe fluid overload

Methotrexate (MTX) toxicity is a life-threatening complication in oncology patients. We report a 19-year-old male with newly diagnosed Burkitt lymphoma who received high-dose methotrexate as part of induction chemotherapy and initially met protocol-defined serum clearance criteri...

Increasing usable reads in RNA-seq protocols

Bulk and single-cell RNA-seq are powerful tools for transcriptomic analysis, providing insights into molecular and cellular phenotypes. Costs constrain the biological insights obtainable within a given budget, and as sequencing prices decline, efficient library protocols have bec...

A single-nucleus transcriptomic characterization of EGFR G719X/S768I double-mutant lung adenocarcinoma identifies an immunosuppressive niche defined by COL4A3-CD44 interaction

EGFR double mutations (G719X/S768I) represent a clinically recalcitrant subtype of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) characterized by diminished tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) sensitivity. However, the specific tumor microenvironment (TME) features and intercelluar crosstalk driving th...

CortexNet: convolutional neural networks for alzheimer’s disease diagnosis using brain MRI

Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most common degenerative brain diseases, and its early detection plays an important role in improving clinical management, increasing treatment effectiveness, and reducing the consequences of disease progression. In this study, a family of convol...

When technical standards fail. Questionnaire wording and the comparability of PISA truancy data

Abstract This paper presents a case study of how an undetected wording change in the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) may have led to erroneous conclusions. We focus on a survey question intended to measure student truancy across countries and over tim...
