Non-algorithmic Truth and the Structure of Reality: Distinguishing the Mental and Real Lucas-Penrose Arguments

Abstract Can physical reality be fully captured by an algorithmic Theory of Everything? We argue not. Gödelian incompleteness shows that no sound, recursively axiomatizable formalism proves all truths of a sufficiently rich domain, while Tarskian undefinability shows that no such...

Surface engineering and interphase damage in AA5052/hybrid carbon–Kevlar epoxy joints

Reliable bonding of lightweight metal–fibre-reinforced polymer structures depends on the local surface state and fracture processes at the adherend–adhesive interphase, yet these effects remain insufficiently resolved for hybrid carbon–Kevlar adherends. This study combines contac...

Clinical characteristics and management of nivolumab-induced hypophysitis: retrospective analysis based on case reports

Nivolumab-associated hypophysitis is a rare endocrine immune-related adverse event with incompletely defined clinical characteristics and management. This study aimed to synthesize patient-level evidence to clarify its presentation, treatment, and clinical outcomes, thereby facil...

Rosmarinic Acid Enhances Doxorubicin Activity in MDA-MB-231 Cells: Associations with Intracellular Oxidative Stress, Mitochondrial Dysfunction, and Apoptosis

Background/Objectives: Rosmarinic acid (RA) is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound with promising anticancer activity; however, its potential to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of doxorubicin (DOX) against triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has not been comprehensively...

DOF Transcription Factors: Regulatory Hubs Coordinating Plant Growth, Development and Stress Tolerance

Abstract Under global climate warming, plants evolve unique growth and developmental strategies to cope with frequent abiotic stresses. The plant-specific DNA-BINDING WITH ONE FINGER (DOF) transcription factors (TFs) originated in green algae and are phylogenetically divided into...

Data-driven framework for calibrated thermal comfort assessment and thermal sensation prediction of construction workers during summer

Purpose Construction workers are highly vulnerable to summer heat stress, yet thermal comfort assessment is often constrained by limited site-specific meteorological data. This study aims to develop a calibration framework that adjusts publicly available meteorological data to ap...

Evaluation of current practices and communication surrounding sudden unexpected death in epilepsy ( SUDEP ): A survey analysis of healthcare practitioners

Abstract Objective To characterize healthcare providers' awareness and education regarding SUDEP and their approaches to SUDEP counseling. Methods A voluntary, observational 14‐question survey was administered at the 2024 American Epilepsy Society Annual Meeting to healthcare pro...

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Dogs and Cats: Evidence for Gastrointestinal and Emerging Extra-Intestinal Applications

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an emerging microbiome-directed intervention for dogs and cats, but its clinical role remains incompletely defined. This structured narrative review integrates peer-reviewed clinical, mechanistic, methodological, and safety evidence on co...

Polyphenol-rich jaboticaba (Myrciaria cauliflora) seed extract confers neuroprotection and extends lifespan in Drosophila through enhanced antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacity

Myrciaria cauliflora (jaboticaba) is widely recognized for its polyphenol-rich fruit; however, its seeds are typically discarded and remain largely underexplored despite their potential bioactive value. This study investigated the effects of different extraction conditions on the...

The weak shock limit as an organizing boundary in shock response

Materials under shock loading exhibit strengthening in the weak shock region followed by weakening in strong shock, but no general criterion defines this transition. Here, the weak shock limit (WSL) is proposed as a consistent and experimentally accessible boundary in shock respo...

Clove leaf oil: Phytochemical profiling and antimicrobial potential against mastitis-associated microorganisms

Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) leaf represents a valuable underutilised plant resource with significant potential for essential oil production. This study characterised clove leaf oil (CLO) from fallen leaves using a standard physicochemical analysis and GC-MS evaluation of phytoche...

From Compliance to Commitment: How Integrated Corporate Architecture Shapes Environmental SDGs Disclosure. An Explanatory Study of Italian Companies

ABSTRACT Adopting an institutional‐theory lens, this study explores Italian companies' progress in disclosing their contributions to the environmental Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in their non‐financial reports (NFRs). Using an Environmental SDGs Disclosure Index, the stu...

Patient-Reported Body Image, Pain, and Satisfaction After Breast-Conserving Surgery, Mastectomy, and Mastectomy With Reconstruction: A Cross-Sectional Cohort Study

Abstract Background Surgical treatment for breast cancer may affect long-term body image, pain, and satisfaction, yet the relative contribution of surgical approach and patient-level factors remains uncertain. We evaluated patient-reported outcomes after breast-conserving surgery...

Four-Wheel Independent Steering Stability Control Based on VSR-ANMPC

To address the problems of poor steering smoothness and handling stability for four-wheel independent steering (4WIS) vehicles, this paper presents an adaptive nonlinear model predictive control (ANMPC) strategy based on variable steering ratio (VSR). First, a two-degree-of-freed...

Formation and Ecological Dynamics of Synthetic Biofilms Derived from Microbial Components of the Cladonia arbuscula Thallus

Synthetic multi-species consortia provide valuable insights into the ecological and structural dynamics of complex microbial biofilms. However, the specialized functional contributions of individual components under severe nutrient limitations remain poorly understood. This study...

Reframing obesity in aging people with HIV: sarcopenic obesity, muscle quality, and frailty

Purpose of review As people with HIV (PWH) age, obesity is increasingly prevalent, yet body weight alone inadequately captures the functional and metabolic consequences of adverse body composition remodeling. This review examines emerging evidence supporting a shift from weight-c...

Low-Complexity Three-Layer GII Encoders Based on a Grouping Strategy

Generalized integrated interleaved (GII) codes have emerged as a compelling coding solution for distributed storage systems, as they achieve a favorable tradeoff between error-correcting capability and repair locality. Compared with conventional two-layer GII codes, three-layer G...
