Structural integration of inert porous media as a primary mitigation strategy for firewood stoves: Toward decoupling combustion intensification from emissions

Residential wood combustion in energy-vulnerable contexts creates a critical trade-off between thermal comfort and air quality, while many conventional emission-control technologies require electricity, maintenance, or active control. This study evaluates the structural integrati...

Complementary Global–Local Feature Fusion and Ensemble Refinement for Facial-Expression Recognition on FER2013

Facial-expression recognition (FER) on FER2013 remains challenging because of low-resolution images, class imbalance, and label ambiguity. This study presents a global–local feature-fusion framework that integrates complementary representations with validation-based ensemble refi...

When Does a Square Board Split?

We study integer-board graphs whose edges have Euclidean length\(1/\lambda\) or \(\sqrt2/\lambda\); their moves form a union of leaperorbits and the components of the graph on \(\mathbb{Z}^2\) are the cosets of aGaussian ideal. Write \(\lambda^2=1/k\) or \(2/k\) in lowest terms a...

Euler E711: A new and easy method for expressing the roots of all algebraic equations and any powers of them by elegant series | English translation | OMH v1.0

English translation of Leonhard Euler's E711, A new and easy method for expressing the roots of all algebraic equations and any powers of them by elegant series. AI use and review status: OpenAI tools assisted with the translation and LaTeX. Version 1.0 is a machine draft with li...

Statin use is associated with lower risk of open-angle glaucoma incidence and treatment escalation

Background Retrospective cohort study using the TriNetX database to explore the relationship between statin use and glaucoma. Methods The open-angle glaucoma (OAG) incidence analysis consisted of individuals over 40 years of age with statin use and ophthalmological follow-up with...

Byron’s Allusion to Plato’s Phaedo in “Lines Written Beneath an Elm, in the Churchyard of Harrow on the Hill”

Byron’s reworking of Plato’s Phaedo in the earliest phase of his writing career during 1806–1807 has received little critical attention from literary scholarship, although it is substantiated in his Harrow poems and further explored in his later poems of the 1810s and 1820s. This...

Mechanistic insights into galantamine adsorption on SBA‐16 mesoporous silica: Kinetic and isotherm analysis

SBA-16 mesoporous silica particles (MSPs) with a cage-like architecture were synthesized and optimized for adsorption and controlled release of the BCS Class I drug galantamine hydrobromide. Optimized synthesis conditions produced monodisperse particle size (403 ± 26 nm, PDI 0.42...

Monitoring neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) related citrullinated histone H3: a novel biomarker of recurrence and metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Abstract Objectives Blood-based biomarkers play a crucial role in tumor monitoring. However, for nasopharyngeal carcinoma with recurrence or metastasis (R/M-NPC), there is a notable scarcity of sensitive markers. Citrullinated histone H3 (H3Cit), a key marker of neutrophil extrac...

Did the language of medieval inquisition records become richer over time? A diachronic lexical richness perspective on heresy trial proceedings from Languedoc and Italy, 1231–1400

While medieval inquisition records have a reputation for containing standardized and formulaic administrative language, some display a thematic richness and discursive variety that extends beyond the norm, especially in records of depositions. There is also a notion that register...

Chiral Phosphoserine Reconfigures the Energy Conversion Pathway for Efficient and Stable Sequentially Deposited Perovskite Solar Cells

ABSTRACT FAPbI 3 perovskite solar cells (PSCs) fabricated via sequential deposition hold great promise for high photovoltaic performance. However, two bottlenecks remain persistent: transport‐limited conversion that leaves residual PbI 2 and the high thermal prerequisite to drive...

ADEQUACY, IMPLEMENTATION, AND EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCES OF WORKPLACE SAFETY AND HEALTH POLICIES IN NIGERIA'S NATIONAL ASSEMBLY: A MIXED-METHODS EVALUATION

Nigeria has put together a fairly comprehensive set of occupational safety and health (OSH) instruments, but little is known about how such policies actually work inside public institutions once they move from the page to daily practice. This study evaluated the adequacy and impl...

Honeydew‐Associated Bacteria Suppress Zucchini Defense Responses and Enhance the Performance of the Cotton‐Melon Aphid

Aphid honeydew is generally regarded as a sugar-rich excretion, but it also contains microbial communities that may influence plant-herbivore interactions. Whether honeydew-associated bacteria suppress plant defense responses to enhance aphid performance remains unclear. Here, we...

Morphologic and hemodynamic risk factors for paraophthalmic segment aneurysm rupture

To evaluate the impact of morphologic and hemodynamic characteristics on paraophthalmic segment aneurysms (PSAs) with the goal of identifying reliable risk factors for PSAs rupture. A case-control study was conducted among patients with a newly diagnosed PSAs who were treated at...

Positive psychology for executives in the wake of AI

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to integrate positive psychology and artificial intelligence (AI) into leadership development by proposing a six-dimensional model for preparing executives to lead effectively in AI-intensive organizational environments. Design/methodology/app...

Vaccination Unavailability or Delayed Vaccination: Two Plausible Pandemic Scenarios Applied to the COVID-19 Outbreak in Puerto Rico

This study examines two plausible pandemic scenarios, vaccine unavailability and delayed vaccination, using deterministic compartmental models calibrated to the COVID-19 pandemic in Puerto Rico. An SEIsIaHRD model for the pre-vaccination phase and an SVEIsIaHRD model (susceptible...

LLM-Mediated Findability of Research Datasets

This study evaluates the LLM-mediated findability of research datasets. The sample uses 100 datasets randomly selected from GESIS. Experiments were run using web-search-based models from OpenAI and Gemini. Six different query strategies combine metadata such as topic, geography,...

A unified and accurate approach to simulating monotonic and cyclic failure effects of metallic and concrete materials

Purpose A unified and accurate approach is established for the purpose of simulating monotonic and cyclic failure effects of metallic and concrete materials based on an all-through strength-degrading elastoplasticity model. This new model makes no reference to any usually postula...

Mathematical Analysis of Multi-Route Tuberculosis Transmission with Airborne Environmental Reservoirs and Treatment Failure

Despite the availability of effective treatment, tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem worldwide. Related factors that promote continued transmission include treatment failure, residual infectiousness during treatment, environmental contamination, and progressio...

E8 Phase-Locked Resonance Principle — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240 root vectors of the E8 lattice form a closed reflection group that, when excited at the base frequency of 132 Hz, establish a self‑consistent standing wave pattern. Adjacent root vectors couple with a phase offset proportional to the golden ratio φ, producing a globally c...

Budget Transparency and the Prevention of Fund Misuse in Student Organisations: A Citizenship Perspective on Civic Integrity

Misuse of student organisation funds often starts small. This article draws on two online interviews with student organisation leaders and a review of related studies on student organisation finance, nonprofit fraud, and citizenship. It suggests that clear budget reports, members...
