Optimising bat-friendly curtailment algorithms for wind turbines

Wind turbines worldwide cause high mortality in long-lived bats through collisions. To mitigate these impacts, operators commonly apply blanket curtailment by stopping turbine blades under low wind speed and mild temperature, when bat activity is often high and energy production...

Perceived Influence of Ethical Artificial Intelligence Practices on Educational Management in Rivers State-Owned Universities

The study set out to find out how staff of Rivers State-owned universities perceive the effect of ethical Artificial Intelligence (AI) practices on the way their institutions are managed. Attention was placed on two ethical dimensions, namely AI fairness and AI transparency. Two...

Cosmic Texture Theory (CTT) – Article 2: The Mechanical Reality of Light, the Impossibility of Spacetime Curvature, and the Hydrodynamic Origin of Galactic Rotation

This second article in the Cosmic Texture Theory (CTT) series provides a rigorous mechanical derivation of light, time, and gravitational phenomena from the Texton Continuum. It is demonstrated that Maxwell's equations are the natural linearized expressions of the shear dynamics...

Fabrication of high-performance electric double-layer capacitor using biomass derived activated carbon as electrode and 1,2,4-triazolium based ionic liquid as electrolyte

In this study, 1,4-dipropyl-1,2,4-triazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid is used as an electrolyte, and activated carbon from Borassus flabellifer tree trunk biomass was prepared following our previously reported procedure and used as the electrode material. The objective of...

Phi as Algorithmic Irreducibility: A Kolmogorov Complexity Reformulation of Integrated Information — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Integrated Information Theory (IIT) formalizes consciousness as a quantity Φ (phi) measuring irreducible cause-effect power of a system, with recent work linking it to algorithmic information theory and lossless integration. | MATH: Core IIT quantity: Φ = minimal informa...

Integrating generative AI into knowledge management: A mixed-methods framework with machine learning–assisted conceptual coherence illustration

Background Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly transforming knowledge management (KM) in knowledge-based organizations (KBOs). This study examines the integration of generative AI into KM within the United Arab Emirates (UAE), focusing on the technological, hu...

Effects of different resistance training programs on quality of life and fatigue in cancer patients: a network meta-analysis

To systematically evaluate, via network meta-analysis, the effects of different resistance training intensities on quality of life and cancer-related fatigue in cancer patients, and to identify the optimal exercise regimen. A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Libr...

Reprogramming pulmonary B cells by ANXA1 silencing halts lung metastatic niche formation in breast cancer

Lung metastasis remains a determinant of poor prognosis and survival in breast cancer and is understood to depend on a permissive pulmonary immune niche rather than tumor cell traits alone. Here, we developed a host-directed RNA interference strategy to modulate this niche by rep...

Features of Human Interaction with Artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering Production

The paper shows that using artificial intelligence in mechanical engineering covers the entire product life cycle, from conceptual design to maintaining the finished product. At a modern enterprise, artificial intelligence is involved at the stages of product design and developme...

Navigating the sedation challenge in frail older patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography: a narrative review

Abstract The global increase in life expectancy has resulted in a higher volume of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures among frail older patients. Frailty, a multidimensional syndrome characterized by decreased physiological reserve, presents signific...

Oral health, oral follow-up and infectious risk management of rheumatoid arthritis patients on anti-TNF drugs: a survey of a French e-cohort

Abstract Background As periodontitis is a recognized risk factor for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), it should be adequately treated before the initiation of biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs), along with any concomitant acute oral infection. bDMARDs remains a co...

Outcome of sepsis due to multidrug-resistant bacterial sepsis in a paediatric oncology unit in India: An eight-year retrospective analysis

Abstract Background Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) cause significant morbidity and mortality in hospitalised patients. This is particularly true in paediatric oncology units, especially in low- and middle-income countries with high prevalence of MDRO, like India. We present...

Short‐Term 6PPD‐Q Exposure alters Tight‐Junction‐Related Gene Expression Without Acute Lethality in Japanese Medaka Oryzias latipes

6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q), a transformation product of the tire antioxidant 6PPD, causes acute mortality in several salmonid species, but its toxicity varies markedly among fish species. Disruption of vascular-barrier integrity and inflammatory signaling has been proposed as a key me...

Tracking Variability in Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Riverine Inputs to the Iberian Margin Over the Last 250 kyr

Abstract The Iberian Margin provides an exceptional archive of climate variability due to its high sedimentation rates. However, uncertainties persist regarding the provenance of terrigenous detrital sediments on the Iberian Margin, and the climate‐driven changes in their source...
