Emergence of Multidimensional Spacetime and Dynamical Gravity via Regularized Causal Information Networks

The standard Λ‑CDM cosmological model faces severe empirical crises at high redshifts ($z>5$), highlighted by the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) discovery of mature, massive galaxies that strain classical hierarchical‑structure‑formation timelines. To eliminate epistemologic...

LUXVAR: A Constructed Language with Distinctive Morphemic Structure and AI-Recoverable Morpheme Families

LUXVAR is a constructed symbolic language developed within the VARZIN research framework. This study presents a computational analysis of LUXVAR morphology, phonotactics, semantic structure tests, and AI-based clustering benchmarks. Main findings include: • Non-random morphologic...

EphA4 Mediates Pro- and Antitumoral Effects Through Upstream Negative Regulation of AKT in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Head and Neck Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is driven by an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). We examined the immune-modulatory role of EphA4 in HNSCC using spatial analysis, multi-compartment RNA-sequencing from Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma (...

Conserved structural features of RNA export pores spanning the double membrane of arterivirus and coronavirus replication organelles

ABSTRACT Coronaviruses and arteriviruses are distantly related positive-stranded RNA virus families within the order Nidovirales . Both transform intracellular membranes into double-membrane vesicles (DMVs) that serve as replication organelles. Newly made viral RNA presumably exi...

Instantaneous radiative forcings due to the first indirect effect linked to low-level liquid clouds in the Amazon

Abstract. Much of the present uncertainty in effective radiative forcing due to aerosol–cloud interactions (ERFaci) arises from aerosol–cloud adjustments. Nevertheless, estimating instantaneous radiative forcing due to aerosol–cloud interactions (IRFaci) remains important because...

What Survivors Remembered: Cognitive and Experiential Themes in Trauma Narratives From the Deadliest Mass Shooting in Modern American History

This study examined cognitive and experiential patterns in the trauma narratives of 42 survivors (74% women; M age = 42.1) of the Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting, the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history. We conducted a codebook thematic analysis of written narra...

Impact of grain orientation architecture and boundary properties on chemo-mechanical cracking in NMC811 particles

Performance and lifetime of lithium-ion batteries are severely limited by fracture evolution in polycrystalline NMC811 particles. Yet, the roles of grain misorientation and microstructural architecture in governing both damage evolution and electrochemical response remain poorly...

ADAPT-Net: an adaptive dynamic attention and persistence-aware transformer for overlapping community detection in complex social networks

Overlapping community detection in dynamic complex networks is challenging because memberships evolve over time, interactions arrive irregularly, and genuine bridge roles must be distinguished from noisy multi-community assignments. The aim of this study is to develop and evaluat...

Quantitative comparison of fungal genome assembly strategies using short and long reads from simulated and empirical sequencing data

Abstract High-quality fungal reference genomes are essential for comparative, functional, and evolutionary studies, yet fungal genome features such as repeats, structural rearrangements, accessory chromosomes, and intron-rich genes can complicate genome assembly and the selection...

‘I read him much’: Agatha Christie and Poetry

This essay explores the pervasive and underexamined role of poetry in Agatha Christie's crime fiction, life writing, and creative practice. While Christie is rarely discussed as a poet or as a writer shaped by poetic traditions, her work is saturated with verse: from Shakespeare,...

Single-Frequency Symmetry-Empowered Through-Barrier Sensing in Reconfigurable Complex Media

Mirror symmetry can strongly enhance the transmission of waves through a barrier inside a complex medium. We recently showed that this phenomenon enables quantitative through-barrier sensing: by tuning programmable scatterers on one side of the barrier to maximize the broadband t...

Marine Pigments as Drugs, and Other Applications: Where Are We?

The use of different marine resources, including various colouring agents, is rooted in human history. They have been used as nutrients and medicaments and in luxury products. Readily available marine biological pigments (MBPs) are considered inexpensive materials, since they can...

Massive Early Seeds as a Phenomenological Framework for the Origin of High-Redshift Supermassive Black Holes

Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with masses of 108–109 M⊙ are observed at redshifts z > 7– 10, corresponding to cosmic times less than 700 Myr after the Big Bang within ΛCDM cosmology. Recent JWST discoveries, including Little Red Dots (LRDs), compact galaxies hosting overmassiv...

Exposure–Lag Responses of Soybean Target Spot to Climatic Proxies: A Distributed Lag Nonlinear Modeling Approach

Target spot of soybean is strongly influenced by weather, but the major drivers of epidemics remain poorly understood. Using a dataset obtained in non-treated plots of 254 trials conducted across nine Brazilian states over 13 growing seasons, we applied a distributed lag nonlinea...

An improved lower bound for the three-dimensional Blaschke–Lebesgue problem from spectral and dual perspectives

The Blaschke–Lebesgue problem asks for convex bodies of minimum volume among all convex bodies of prescribed constant width. In the plane, the minimizer is the Reuleaux triangle, whereas the corresponding three-dimensional problem remains open and is also known as Meissner's conj...

Curvature–Interference Coupling Effect on Interlaminar Stress and Delamination Tendency in Riveted CFRP Laminates

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are widely used in curved aerospace structures, where riveting-induced interlaminar damage is a critical concern. Existing studies have mainly focused on flat laminates, while the influence of structural curvature on rivet load tr...

Soil health assessment using buried cotton underpants with the help of 1000 citizen scientists

Societal Impact Statement Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil‐related issues is limited. To highlight soil as a key resource and fascinating study system, we initiated a citizen science project together with 100...

A SRE-Dynamics Inspired Topological Paradigm for Composite Elementary Particles and Relational Space Emergence

Within the conceptual framework of Status‑Relational‑Entropy (SRE) Dynamics, this paper presents a qualitative‑probabilistic formulation for the topological configuration and emergent geometry of composite elementary particles. Traditional physical paradigms rely heavily on fine‑...

Quantum Interference Amplifies Weak Chirality into Giant Quantum Nonreciprocity

Quantum nonreciprocity at few-photon level typically requires strong symmetry breaking, posing significant experimental challenges. Here we demonstrate that phase-controlled quantum interference can amplify weak chirality into giant quantum nonreciprocity. We consider two phase-p...

From gingiva to brain: cadmium promotes stroke via vascular mechanisms in periodontitis while vitamin k protects

Abstract Aim To investigate systemic circulatory vascular immune mediators associated with the periodontitis–stroke link and to elucidate underlying cellular mechanisms. Methods We analyzed 4,164 adults from NHANES 2009–2014 using multivariable regression, restricted cubic spline...
