Quantitative DNA Geometry Data Absent in Search Results — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: The search results are mostly video titles and generic descriptions; no primary quantitative DNA measurement data (helix pitch, diameter, base-pair spacing) is provided in the extracted text. The only concrete mathematical anchor is the existence of the double helix stru...

Retrieving “Natural Religion” in Aquinas: Giving Religion Its Due in the Theology of Religions

This study reintroduces the Christian theology of religions to Thomas Aquinas’s understanding of religion as an acquired moral virtue. Aquinas’s treatment of religion as a moral virtue challenges the norm of revelation-centric theological methods across the positional spectrum. T...

Waterfront asset, vulnerability, and coastal community resilience: Case study from Bangladesh

Low-income coastal waterfront settlements are widely viewed as spaces of risk, informality, and deficit, as the assets that sustain everyday life within these perils remain underexplored in urban resilience research. Yet the role of these social, spatial, and livelihood assets in...

Parametric assessment of urban rooftop photovoltaic potential: Threshold calibration and spatial differentiation by city scale classification

Assessing the potential of urban rooftop photovoltaic (URPV) is fundamental for promoting energy transition and urban sustainability. However, existing research is often confined to potential assessments, failing to reveal the driving mechanisms and critical parameter thresholds...

The longitudinal co-development of adverse childhood experiences and child internalizing problems: Examining sociodemographic disparities

Abstract Internalizing problems are prevalent in childhood and are associated with exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs); however, their co-development across childhood remains understudied. Prior research documents sociodemographic disparities (i.e., race/ethnicity, s...

A Suitable Groom: The Effect of Girl's Education on Dowry Payments

Abstract The social and economic costs of marriage for the bride represent a significant burden for low‐/middle‐income families, contributing to the disempowerment of women within their natal and marital households in multiple ways. This paper uses a large‐scale primary dataset f...

Impact of Thermal Cauterization on the Biomechanical Strength of Mesh Fixation in Porcine Skin and Avian Cartilage Models: Surgical Implications for Sacral Colpopexy

Background: Energy devices are widely used for hemostasis in pelvic reconstructive surgery; however, their thermal effects on tissue integrity at mesh fixation sites remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of bipolar cauterization on the mechanical strength of...

Electromagnetic Induction Heating-Activated Self-Healing of Asphalt Mastics with Alternative Fillers: Mechanical Recovery and Rheological Response

Electromagnetic induction heating (EIH) enables rapid thermal activation of self-healing asphalt, but the extent to which EIH susceptibility translates into a flow-capable condition, mechanical recovery, and subsequent rheological response remains insufficiently established at th...

Competing Beyond Borders: Identifying Strategic and Sustainability-Driven Success Factors for Apparel Firms in Global Markets

The international apparel market is becoming more complex and competitive, but the multidimensional, human-centred capabilities that underpin export success in institutionally constrained markets are not well understood. This paper discusses the strategies used by export-oriented...

Digital Consumer Profile: Socioeconomic and Regional Determinants of E-Commerce Participation in Ecuador

This paper examines the socioeconomic characteristics associated with e-commerce use in a dollarized economy in Latin America—Ecuador—using a large, nationally representative household survey. Using a survey-weighted logistic model that accounts for the survey’s complex sampling...

Experimental investigation and mechanistic study of coal dust wetting by [BMIM][HSO4]

Enhancing the wettability of coal dust is of considerable importance for effective dust control in coal mines. In this study, the optimal conditions for enhancing the wettability of Huozhou coal dust (CD) using the ionic liquid [BMIM][HSO 4 ] were determined through an orthogonal...

Immunohistochemical expression of BRD4 and MUC1 in Oral Lichen Planus: association with clinical subtypes and role as potential biomarkers of epithelial alteration

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic immune-mediated disorder recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an oral potentially malignant disorder (OPMD). Differentiating inflammation-associated epithelial alterations from early dysplastic changes remains a diagnostic cha...

Sitagliptin for Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease Prevention in Alternative Donor Transplantation: A Randomized Phase III Trial

PURPOSE This trial evaluated whether the addition of sitagliptin to antithymocyte globulin (ATG)–based prophylaxis reduces the incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after alternative donor hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation. METHODS This prospective, multicent...

Abstract: The Attendify system is a smart attendance management solution developed using the MERN stack. It automates attendance using face recognition technology to ensure accurate and secure identification of students. The system also provides a QR code-based backup method for...

Forecasting influenza A and B positive case counts using a hybrid seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average and long short-term memory (SARIMA-LSTM) model: an epidemiological study from Jiande, Hangzhou, China

Influenza A and B impose substantial public-health burdens. Using hospital- based laboratory-confirmed surveillance data, this study aimed to characterise the epidemiological features of influenza A and B cases and forecast their temporal trends, so as to provide evidence for inf...

Rheological and Tribological Properties of Tara Gum‐Thickened Lentil Soups at Selected IDDSI Levels for Dysphagia Management

ABSTRACT This study evaluated the application of a tara gum‐based commercial thickener to formulate texture‐modified lentil soups across International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) Levels 1–4 for dysphagia management, characterizing their rheological and tribo...

Integrated multi-omic analysis characterizes an IFNγ-responsive-to-myeloid-suppressive immune continuum in immune-active hepatocellular carcinoma

Immune-active hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is commonly treated as a single inflamed phenotype, although its internal immune heterogeneity remains incompletely defined. We integrated public bulk transcriptomic, single-cell, spatial transcriptomic, proteomic, phosphoproteomic, an...
