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...

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...

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...

Admissible Non-Injective Transitions as the Primitive of Physical Description
Quantum mechanics is the effective theory of physically real unresolved admissible structures and their resolution. This paper establishes the minimal axiomatic foundation from which this claim follows: physical structure is derived from a single primitive, the local structure of...

Probabilistic surrogate modeling for gas foil bearing stability
Abstract In the context of Industry 4.0, improving the reliability and efficiency of rotating machinery remains a relevant challenge, particularly for systems employing Gas Foil Bearings (GFBs). This paper investigates the development of surrogate models based on Bayesian Neural...

Production competition and carbon emissions reduction cooperation
Purpose Under the carbon cap-and-trade (CCT) policy, the supply chain is increasingly focused on carbon emissions reduction (CER), for which remanufacturing offers a promising pathway. However, independent remanufacturers (IRs) must first obtain remanufacturing authorization from...
