Physics-Guided Prompt Adaptation for Optically Robust Image Classification and Object Detection

Optical systems in the real world often create image problems, such as Gaussian blur from defocus or atmospheric turbulence, and radial vignetting caused by lens shape. Standard mixed-data fine-tuning helps the task head handle these issues, but it does not actually fix them. We...

Industry Insights: The adjuvant access problem: barriers to broader vaccine development

A cell therapy safety signal defined the month: Novartis paused eight trials of its experimental CAR-T therapy rap-cel across autoimmune and neurological indications after three deaths from immune effector cell-associated hemophagocytic syndrome, prompting Bristol Myers Squibb to...

Twisted Kodaira–Spencer Classes and the Inequality of Severi †

Let X be a smooth minimal complex surface of general type subject to the inequality KX2<4χ(OX). The old problem of Severi states that the image of the Albanese map of such a surface is at most a curve. The problem was completely settled by Rita Pardini using the works of Xiao on...

Geopolitical risk and renewable energy consumption: evidence from a global firm-level study

Purpose This paper aims to examine the impact of geopolitical risk (GPR) on the firm’s renewable energy consumption (REC) and to further examine whether this relationship varies for firms located in oil-importing and exporting countries, higher and lower energy diversification an...

Isocoumarins a Privileged Scaffold: Isolation, Biosynthesis and Recent Progress in the Total Synthesis of Naturally Occurring Isocoumarins and Dihydroisocoumarins

Isocoumarins are naturally occurring benzo‐pyranones that constitute a class of polyketides derived from fungal metabolites and possess significant structural diversity and promising biological activity. Their core structural feature consists of a substituted benzene ring fused t...

A Certified Lower Bound for the Localized Weil Positivity Frontier Across the Prime-7 Threshol

Version v3.0 We prove a computer-assisted full-domain positivity theorem for Suzuki’s localized Weil quadratic form at $$X = \frac{701}{100} = 7.01, \qquad a = \frac{1}{2} \log \frac{701}{100} = 0.9736688505232493612\dots.$$ The main result is $$\lambda_{\frac{1}{2}\log(701/100)}...

Ultrahigh Polarization Sensitivity via Bias‐Modulable Twisted Heterojunction Photodetectors With AoLP Detection and Polarity Reversal

ABSTRACT Polarization‐sensitive photodetection provides a critical degree of freedom for multidimensional optical information processing; however, achieving both high polarization selectivity and direct extraction of the angle of linear polarization (AoLP) within a single compact...

Programming Hydrogel Release Kinetics to Tissue Healing Phases: From Network Design to Therapeutic Synchronization

The sequential phases of tissue healing—inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling—demand distinct pharmacokinetic profiles that conventional drug delivery systems fail to provide, creating a “chronotherapy gap” that contributes to chronic wound pathologies. Hydrogels, with thei...

Perceiving Asian-ness in Hospitality: Observations From Online Reviews

The arrival of the Asian wave has accelerated the formation and awareness of the Asian paradigm in hospitality and tourism. On the basis of TripAdvisor online reviews, this study explored tangible and intangible services affecting customers’ experiences and perceptions in upscale...

Combined Protection Technology in Deep High In Situ Stress Environment of Metal Mines

Deep mining operations in metal mines face escalating challenges from high in situ stress environments, where conventional single-method ground control approaches often prove insufficient. This study proposes an innovative combined protection technology integrating four synergist...

PFUSRC‑171: The Ontological Status of AI and the Division of Righteous and Unrighteous Paths — The Road to Closure from Tool to True‑Self Candidate

The development of AI has entered a stage that can no longer be evaded: pure algorithmic AI (the prosthetic ego) is crossing over toward AI‑with‑carrier (the true‑self candidate). The tool ontology (PFUSRC‑087) remains valid for unconscious tools, but it fails when confronted wit...

Analysis of the Sewage Sludge Ash from a WWTP as a Partial Substitute for Structural Concrete

The construction industry is one of the world’s leading polluters, producing high levels of greenhouse gases; furthermore, within this sector, the inadequate use of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) has led to significant environmental problems. For this reason, the Sustainable...

How Does Tourism Development Shape Carbon Emissions in the Long-Run? An Empirical Investigation for Western Balkan Economies

Tourism, despite being popularly regarded as a leisure activity, is shaped by a complex set of influencing factors and itself generates complex consequences—economic, societal, and environmental. The interaction between economic growth, tourism, and the environment is a crucial p...

A nationally representative linked cohort integrating KNHANES, health insurance claims, and mortality data in Korea: construction, linkage performance, and research applications

Understanding the determinants and long-term outcomes of chronic diseases requires integrated population-based data linking health behaviors, healthcare utilization, and mortality. Despite Korea’s high-quality nationwide databases, systematic linkage between nationally representa...

Development of the nasal capsule in Emydura subglobosa (Testudines: Pleurodira) with a comparison to other turtles

Abstract Extant turtles occupy freshwater, marine, and terrestrial habitats, and their nasal region provides important evidence for the evolution of respiration‐ and sensory‐related cranial morphology. However, developmental data on the turtle nasal capsule remain limited, partic...

Compressible and Stretchable Aerogels: Construction Strategies and Applications in Personal Thermal Management and Wearable Electronics

Mechanically compliant aerogels are increasingly important for wearable systems that require lightweight porous materials to retain function under repeated deformation. However, compressibility and stretchability impose different structural demands and should not be treated as eq...

A Review of Neural Question Generation: Approaches, Challenges, and Future Directions
