Enhancing Engine Efficiency: The Impact of Different Brand Oils and Friction Modifiers on Fuel Consumption

Reducing fuel consumption to lower CO₂ emissions remains a crucial goal for the automotive industry. One effective approach to achieving this objective is reducing friction-related energy losses within the engine through the use of low-viscosity engine oils and friction-modifying...

Nintedanib in the prevention of radiation-induced lung injury in patients with unresectable stage II-III NSCLC: A protocol for a randomized, multicenter, control group study

Background Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is a common and dose-limiting complication in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving radiotherapy, especially in combination with chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy. RILI encompasses acute radiation pneumonitis (R...

Towards Efficient and Explainable Road Crack Detection: A Transfer Learning-Driven SqueezeNet-based Approach

Abstract Under long-term exposure to complex environmental conditions and variable traffic loads, road pavements are generally prone to typical early damages such as cracking. Such defects can lead to severe structural deterioration and pavement service life reduction if not dete...

Firm narratives and the formation of persons: ownership structure and moral ecology

Abstract We propose a virtue-based theory of ownership and governance that treats “moral ecology”—the interplay of narratives, structures, and practices—as the formative context in which virtue can develop and sustain cooperation. We argue that ownership forms and governance stru...

Beckers Collection (Aachen) - The Shabti of the Viceroy of Kush Hori I - Object Biography and Provenance Study of UB-014

This publication presents a comprehensive object-based study of a shabti of the Viceroy of Kush, Hori I, originating from Tell Basta (Bubastis). The object is part of a dispersed group of approximately 30 known shabtis associated with this high-ranking official of the Ramesside p...

Investigating Whether Behavioral Reaction Time Patterns can Predict Structural Brain Phenotypes Using Models

The individual extent to the content of behavioral data, and neuroimaging is rapidly growing everyday. However, the notice of information about neuroimaging and its variations from behavioral data remains unclear. This study investigated whether it is possible, and if so, to what...

Space - Time. Merging Physical or Iurian Coordinates and Spatial or Cartesian Coordinates to Unify and Harmonize Scientific Structure. Rev. 1

After decades of efforts to solve the fundamental structural question of science, this paper presents a critical analysis and proposes an alternative formulation. The predominant model of "space-time", central to modern physics, combines the three spatial coordinates with one tem...

Co-Designing Modular Training to Upskill Auto Technicians for Emerging EV Repair and Maintenance Challenges

Electric vehicles (EVs) are increasingly entering dealership service departments and independent repair shops, but training pathways for current automotive technicians have not expanded at the same pace. EV repair and maintenance require additional skills and knowledge related to...

Photography versus Writing: The Paradox of Digital Visibility in the Mirror of Algorithm and Substance

This cultural and media-philosophical essay analyzes the structural contradiction of modern digital visibility between visual mass media and epistemic repositories. Drawing from the author’s extensive background of more than 15 years of practical experience with photography and i...

Golden Ratio Quantum Entanglement Stabilization via E8-root Phase Locking — E8 Intelligence Research

By exploiting the 240 E8 root vectors at 132Hz base frequency with golden ratio (phi) phase modulation between entangled qubits, we establish a quantum entanglement protocol where qubit pairs maintain coherent superposition states through phi-resonant stabilization of their share...

Quantum Light Spectroscopy

Abstract Spectroscopy based on individual-photon-level light sources brings new variables to both spectroscopy and imaging. We refer to this approach as quantum-light spectroscopy (QLS). The photon statistics of different types of photon sources and photon entanglements are brief...

Clinical Assessment of Obesity Beyond Body Mass Index: Adiposity Evaluation, Body-Composition Phenotyping and Disease Staging: A Narrative Review

Obesity is usually classified or assessed using the body mass index (BMI), mainly because BMI is simple and easy to apply. Its simplicity is also its main weakness. BMI does not measure fat mass, fat-free mass, or fat distribution. This is a relevant limitation, since individuals...

Seismic Risk Prioritization of Essential Hospital Buildings at Ilocos Training and Regional Medical Center Using a Composite Seismic Risk Index

The Philippines, located along the Pacific Ring of Fire, faces frequent damaging earthquakes that threaten the operability of essential hospitals. This study assesses the seismic risk of 21 essential hospital buildings at the Ilocos Training and Regional Medical Center (ITRMC) in...

Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of autologous NK cells combined with T lymphocytes in patients with recurrent solid tumors

Patients with advanced solid tumors who progress after standard therapies have limited treatment options. SDH-Combi is an autologous cellular immunotherapy integrating natural killer cells and tumor-primed T lymphocytes, designed to address tumor heterogeneity and immune escape t...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

Liver is a complex organ, capable of incredible regenerative capacity in the mammalian body. In addition to well‐known hepatocytes, liver is composed of a complex cell microenvironment, with each cell type contributing to homeostasis, regeneration and disease. Modelling of the li...

Threatened Identity: Self Psychology Informed Communication for Serious Illness Care

Serious illness threatens both the body and the self: the coherent, continuous sense of who one is, from bodily integrity to psychosocial identity. When illness disrupts identity and patients confront mortality and dependence, a range of responses may follow, including behaviors...
