Loewner Extrema and Rank-One Certification Gaps for Cumulative-Tail Matrix Response Bodies

We give an exact spectral classification in every finite real matrix dimension for thecompact response body En(S) = {G[K] : K ∈ An(S)}. It has least and greatestelements in Loewner order if and only if S has at most one distinct eigenvalue in(aℓ, bℓ). On exactly these spectral st...

A reliability-enhancing framework for remote electric vehicle maintenance telemetry using 5G QoS-Aware network slicing

Purpose Remote maintenance of electric vehicles depends on continuous and heterogeneous telemetry to support diagnostics, fault detection, and maintenance decision-making. The operational value of this telemetry depends on timely and continuous delivery, but shared cellular conge...

Early-age microstructural characteristics and improvement mechanisms of cement–fly ash stabilized dispersive soil

Dispersive soil is highly susceptible to erosion and seepage failure, posing significant risks to hydraulic and geotechnical structures. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a fly ash–dominated cementitious stabilization system for improving dispersive soil. A series of disp...

Application of SUMO in Simulation of Optimized Traffic Light Timing derived using Artificial Neural Network and GIS

Abstract. One of the common issues in urban cities is traffic congestion especially at signalized intersection which may be caused by static and inefficient traffic light timings. The long waiting times at the traffic light led to significant amount of time loss, higher car emiss...

The Challenge of Meaningful Comparison: Assessing the Relation Between Social Comparison Orientation and Meaning in Life

Social comparison processes play a central role in social cognition, but their relation to meaning in life remains unclear. We conducted an integrative analysis of three online studies with American, Indian, Peruvian, and French participants. After harmonizing the study-specific...

Trailblazers of Change: Women Entrepreneurs Leading the Path to Sustainability

Women entrepreneurs are becoming important change agents in the global movement toward sustainability by addressing urgent environmental, social, and economic issues through a combination of creativity, resiliency, and purpose-driven leadership. Based on innovation and inclusivit...

CHITOSAN-BASED NANOCARRIERS FOR ANTI-ASTHMATIC DRUG DELIVERY: FORMULATION PRINCIPLES, BIOLOGICAL RATIONALE AND TRANSLATIONAL CHALLENGES

Asthma treatment depends on reliable drug delivery to control bronchoconstriction and chronic airway inflammation. Chitosan-based nanocarriers are being investigated because they combine biodegradability, modifiable cationic charge, mucoadhesion and the ability to form particles...

Jomon Fraction

Definition There exists a line segment. The author lets the length of the line segment be one. The line segment does not have endpoints. The author calls the line segment a unit line segment. There exists another line segment that has already been divided. If the author multiplie...

Gravitational Manipulation Theory v3.1: Closure of the Synthetic Mechanism-Verification Workflow and Final Claim Boundary

This preprint provides the final closure report for the Gravitational Manipulation Theory v3.1 H3–H6 program. It consolidates the externally fixed pre-registration, operational-freeze, execution, replication, audit, and status-closure records into a self-contained account of the...

Placentitis and abortion caused by canine distemper virus in a Linnaeus’s two-toed sloth

Canine distemper virus (CDV; family Paramyxoviridae , taxon species Morbillivirus canis ) causes systemic disease in a broad range of mammalian hosts. CDV commonly targets epithelial, lymphoid, and nervous tissues. Reproductive disease is reported less frequently. Here, we descri...

Z₂ Topological Invariant and Time-Reversal Symmetry in Topological Insulators — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Topological insulators are bulk-insulating but surface/edge-conducting quantum phases, protected by time-reversal symmetry and characterized by a Z₂ topological invariant. | MATH: The key invariant is the Z₂ index ν ∈ {0,1}, computed from the Pfaffian of the Bloch wavefu...

The Impact of Mindfulness as a Session‐Introduction on Symptoms and Alliance in Individual Cognitive‐Behavioral Therapy With Children and Adolescents: A Randomized Controlled Trial

ABSTRACT Objectives Mindfulness is increasingly being implemented in child and adolescent therapy. However, little is known about its effectiveness in individual settings within a clinical outpatient context. We investigated the effects of session‐introducing mindfulness interven...

ADVANCED TARGETED DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS FOR CANCER THERAPY: FROM CONVENTIONAL APPROACHES TO PRECISION MEDICINE

Cancer remains one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, despite substantial advances in surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, molecularly targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Conventional antineoplastic chemotherapy remains an important component of cancer tre...

Growth parameters and IGF-1 axis biomarkers differ among omnivorous, vegetarian, and vegan children

Abstract Purpose Whereas an increasing number of families choose a vegan or a vegetarian diet, the effects of a plant-based nutrition on height and BMI of children and their IGF-1- and IGFBP-3-serum concentrations as measures for growth and development are not entirely described....

HIOF - The Postman and the Package III (HIOF•PnP III) A Non-Technical Companion to the HIOF PnP III Series This is a short, plain-language companion to the four-paper HIOF PnP III series ("The Postman and the Package, Third Protocol"). It is written for readers interested in info...

MENAP: multimodal efficiency-constrained news-augmented asset pricing via cost-aware preference optimization

Abstract Multimodal financial signals spanning textual news, market/macro factors, and auxiliary metadata—offer complementary views of investor attention and risk, but exploiting them at scale increasingly relies on large language model (LLM) agents whose multi-step reasoning and...

Benefits of Using Hydroxychloroquine/Chloroquine in the Treatment of Immunomediated Rheumatic Diseases

Antimalarial drugs, particularly hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and chloroquine (CQ), have been used for decades as cornerstone therapies in the management of immune‑mediated rheumatic diseases (IMRDs). Beyond their classical role in disease activity control, these agents exert pleiotr...

Algorithmic HRM as a regime of control: surveillance, legitimacy and worker resistance

Purpose This paper develops a conceptual framework explaining how algorithmic human resource management (HRM) reshapes workplace control, authority, legitimacy and worker resistance. It examines how data-driven surveillance and automated decision-making affect worker autonomy, fr...

Zulfia Geometry: Curvature as Emergence from the Arithmetic Force

Classical geometry postulates a metric tensor gμν from which curvature is derived. This paperposes a foundational question: where does curvature originate when no metric is assumed?We answer within Zulfia Theory (ZT), founded on the Zulfia Decomposition MappingZ(x, u) = η(x, u) +...

Tool Selection for Detailed Accessibility Analysis Using GTFS Data: The Case of the Yamagata Urban Area

Abstract. Accessibility, the ease of reaching a given destination from a given location, is a key indicator for identifying populations whose quality of life is constrained by limited access to essential goods and opportunities such as medical institutions. In Japanese geography,...
