Seismic stratigraphy analysis and mapping shallow channel geometry by using seismic attributes analysis

In this study, multi-attributes and advanced attributes were applied and compared with the results. The advanced attribute includes the structural smoothing attribute was used as input to generate a variance attribute to increase the signal-to-noise ratio and obtain better result...

New Zealand Seed Ecology in the Pyrocene: Testing Seed Responses to High Temperatures Under Laboratory Conditions

Fire has been an historically rare disturbance in New Zealand ecosystems that is becoming increasingly frequent. Most native plants lack fire‐related adaptations, contrasting with exotic species that evolved with frequent fire disturbance. We investigated seed responses to short‐...

α7 integrin co-regulates chromatin accessibility and gene expression in HPV-negative head and neck cancer

Abstract Epigenetic regulation and gene transcription are dynamically modulated by extracellular signals, including focal adhesions; however, the role of integrins in these processes remains poorly understood. In this study in HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, (...

Strategic action plan for the conservation and use of crop wild relatives in Northeast Africa

Abstract This strategic action plan presents a comprehensive regional strategy for the conservation and sustainable use of crop wild relatives (CWRs) in Northeast Africa, covering Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, South Sudan and Sudan. The region is recognized as a global ce...

Cyclotomic Square-Return Rigidity in the Pythagorean Angle Lattice: Double Packet Descent, Terminal Prime Support, and the Even-Class-Number Frontier

Square return of a primitive Pythagorean angle at an odd prime p is completely rigid when the class number of ℚ(ζ_p) is odd, and the remaining even-class-number cases are reduced to explicit 2-class data of real cyclotomic fields. Let W = u + iv be a primitive Gaussian integer wi...

φ-Cascade Brillouin Zone Hierarchy in E8-Mapped Superfluid Lattices — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240 E8 root vectors partition into eight concentric shells of 30 vectors each, and when projected onto reciprocal space these shells define a nested Brillouin zone hierarchy where each successive zone is scaled by φ⁻¹. In superfluid helium-3 confined to E8-symmetric optical l...

Violence as Capital: an Analytical Brief

Abstract I develop the notion of capital of violence, arguing that targeted physical force is the fifth, “forgotten capital” in Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of the four species of capital (economic, cultural, social and symbolic). Violence is a form of capital because it allows its p...

Ru(II)-Catalyzed C–H/O–H Annulation of Benzoic Acids with Trifluoromethyl-Imidoyl Sulfoxonium Ylides: Rapid Synthesis of Dihydroisocoumarin Scaffolds

Abstract A novel ruthenium-catalyzed C–H activation/cyclization reaction of benzoic acid with trifluoromethyl-imidoyl sulfoxonium ylides has been developed for the first time, enabling the rapid synthesis of various trifluoromethyl-functionalized 3,3-disubstituted isocoumarin der...

Hierarchical multi-market coordination of virtual power plants via multi-factor differentiated bidding

With the increasing participation of distributed energy resources and the growing importance of carbon and flexibility services, virtual power plants (VPPs) require market bidding and revenue-allocation mechanisms that reflect heterogeneous operating characteristics. Conventional...

Dynamic Degenerate Fiber Bundle Emergent Spacetime Model

This paper proposes the Dynamic Degenerate Fiber Bundle–Emergent Spacetime (DDFB-EST) model as an exploratory framework linking differential geometry, cosmological evolution, biological differentiation, consciousness states, and selected concepts from Daoist internal alchemy. A s...

A Concise Framework for AI-Driven Blockchain: Integrating DRL Consensus and GNN Security Auditing

This research introduces a novel, high-performance hybrid framework merging Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) for dynamic consensus optimization with Graph Neural Networks (GNN) for advanced smart contract security auditing. Traditional blockchain architectures frequently struggl...

Understanding students’ perceived source of effort: Bridging effort source belief and effort attribution

Learners’ perceptions of the source of study effort have been increasingly recognised as relevant for understanding how study effort informs judgments of learning (JoLs). This correlational study examined effort source belief (ESB) as a trait-like construct, measured using vignet...

Real-world clinical outcomes of trastuzumab deruxtecan in patients with HER2-low metastatic breast cancer

Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) approved for HER2-low metastatic breast cancer (mBC), showing improved survival outcomes in clinical trials. However, real-world evidence on its effectiveness among Chinese patients remains limited. Patients with...

Mitochondria-targeted DZ-1-dihydroartemisinin conjugate induces Bax/Bak-independent apoptotic cell death in colorectal carcinoma cells

Artemisinin and its derivatives possess anti-malarial as well as anti-cancer properties against various malignancies. However, their clinical application as anti-cancer agents is limited by several factors, most notably a lack of tumor selectivity. To address this limitation, we...

Insomnia and anxiety exhibit distinct short-term associations following ketamine in treatment-resistant depression

Abstract Insomnia and anxiety frequently co-occur with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). This study examined short-term changes in depression, anxiety, and insomnia symptoms post-ketamine in TRD and their inter-relationships. Seventy-one patients with TRD were assessed at bas...

Simulated Scattering Parameter Dataset for a Randomly Generated Non-Parameterized Microstrip Filter Between 1 and 10 GHz

High-frequency electromagnetic component design is often a complex and computationally expensive task. Analytical techniques are uncommon and frequently yield only approximate solutions. Design processes often necessitate expensive full-wave electromagnetic solvers and iterative...

Pulmonary Proteomic Responses to Subacute 2,2′,5,5′-Tetrachlorobiphenyl-4-ol Exposure via a Subcutaneous Implant in Adolescent Female Rats

Hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyls (OH-PCBs) are biologically active metabolites that may contribute to adverse respiratory outcomes, yet their effects on the developing lung remain poorly characterized. This study investigated the impact of 2,2′,5,5′-tetrachlorobiphenyl-4-ol...

Preventable in-hospital deaths due to adverse events: a retrospective case record review study

Abstract Background There is no single parameter that describes the level of patient safety in hospitals. Among options, retrospective case record review (RCRR) is an established method for analysing in-hospital deaths to determine the percentage that were preventable. The assess...

Fuzzy-logic enhanced internet of things model for uncertainty-adaptive medical image segmentation

Deep learning (DL) models for brain tumour segmentation (BTS) typically produce a fixed decision boundary and do not allow the uncertainty they estimate to impact the segmentation decision (SD). This work presents a FUZIONet-Med: A Fuzzy Uncertainty-Adaptive IoT Edge Intelligence...

Closing the Gap in Menopause Education

Menopause is a universal experience among women and all those seeking gynecologic care, yet most physicians—including obstetrician–gynecologists—report inadequate training on menopause-related care. As a result, people experiencing menopause often navigate the physical, social, a...
