Observational indistinguishability between classical diffusion and thermal quantum propagation on networks

Abstract The heat kernel of a graph Laplacian is widely used to describe diffusion, transport, correlations and geometry in complex networks. In this work, we show that the same heat-kernel operator emerges both as the propagator of classical diffusion on a network and as the the...

Multimodal morphological characterization of the femoro-tibial joint of the black vine weevil ( Otiorhynchus sulcatus )

Abstract As open systems, arthropod joints and mechanical articulations face common challenges such as contamination and loss of lubricant. Recent studies suggest that insects manage these objectives of such open joints using a combination of cuticular microstructures and lubrica...

Blinking together: the modulation of eye blinking in dog–human social contexts

Abstract Eye blinking and its synchronization have been associated with shared attention, interpersonal connection and physiological rhythms in humans. However, their role in non-human species remains largely unexplored. In domestic dogs, eye blinking has been suggested to have a...

Quantifying local wind-mediated dispersal of zooplankton in a Mediterranean pond

Abstract Dispersal shapes species distributions, population dynamics, and community structure. While zooplankton is assumed to exhibit high dispersal capacity, quantitative data remain scarce, particularly for rotifers. Wind is recognized as an important vector for these organism...

Effects of 3-nitrooxypropanol on productivity and carcass traits in feedlot cattle fed a steam-flaked wheat diet in a commercial setting

Context As the livestock sector faces mounting expectations to curb greenhouse gas emissions alongside evolving public attitudes toward feed additives, rigorous evaluation of emission-mitigation additives within commercial feedlot operations is warranted. Aims The present study e...

Fintech survival drivers in digital market ecosystems: a fuzzy Delphi study under an institutional-evolutionary perspective

Abstract Fintech has become a critical infrastructure for electronic commerce, enabling digital payments, platform transactions, online financial services, and trust-based exchanges. However, innovation and rapid adoption do not necessarily ensure long-term survival. Fintech viab...

When Negative Parenting Becomes More or Less Stressful: The Moderating Roles of Parental Empathy in Vietnamese Adolescents

Negative parenting is associated with adolescent maladjustment but less is known about its relation to stress symptoms specifically and the parental processes that may alter this association. This study examined whether negative parenting was associated with adolescent stress sym...

A mutant allele of the long-day floral activator NtFT5 is associated with the short-day-specific flowering of tobacco cultivar Maryland Mammoth

Abstract Flowering in day-neutral tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum ) cultivars requires the photoperiod-dependent expression of FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT)-like floral activators, which compete with FT-like inhibitors to interact with FD proteins and induce the switch from vegetative to re...

Prespecified held-out in-silico validation of a failure-informed plantar-contact algorithm under sensor and transport perturbations

Wearable gait-event algorithms may fail when plantar-pressure signals are affected by noise, drift, channel mismatch, data loss, or non-walking load cycles. We compared the NUWAC gait-event and plantar-contact classifier R4 with frozen R3 in a prespecified held-out in-silico vali...

Familiarity, accessibility, and taste shape emotional and embodied responses to live music in a socially diverse audience

Abstract Music is increasingly studied for its well-being potential, yet much research focuses on recorded music, clinical settings, and socially homogeneous or genre-specific audiences. This limits understanding of how diverse listeners respond to live music. In this quasi-exper...

John Milton Brown

Abstract John Milton Brown began his independent scientific career at the University of Southampton in 1971 and moved to the University of Oxford some 12 years later. His interests centred on the measurement and interpretation of the spectra of small free radicals (generally unst...

Temporal changes in treatment selection criteria for skeletal Class III: a comparison of surgical orthodontic and orthodontic camouflage treatments

Abstract Background Advances in orthodontic treatment mechanics, particularly the introduction of particularly the increasing use of skeletal anchorage, may have altered the boundary between surgical orthodontic and orthodontic camouflage treatments in patients with skeletal Clas...

Challenges and opportunities in type III secretion system effector prediction

Abstract Type III secretion system effectors (T3SEs) are small bacterial proteins with big biological roles. They act as central molecular mediators of interactions between Gram-negative bacteria and eukaryotic hosts, spanning pathogenic, symbiotic and environmental contexts. Ove...

Host phylogeny and microbiome composition predict gut nematode community composition within a diverse assemblage of African herbivores

Abstract Gut nematodes influence animal health and fitness, with effects shaped by their abundance and community composition. While closely related host species tend to harbour similar nematodes, the relative roles of host ecology and phylogeny in structuring nematode communities...

Quantum Reservoir-Assisted Context Orchestration for Large Language Models: A 500-Prompt Paired Evaluation

Large language models increasingly operate within systems that provide retrieved knowledge, policies, tool descriptions, workflow state, and other contextual signals. This work investigates Quantum Reservoir Assist, a pre-generation context-orchestration layer that uses a CUDA-Q-...

Role of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging in the differentiation of benign and malignant uterine myometrial lesions

Abstract Background Differentiating uterine leiomyosarcomas from atypical and degenerated forms of benign leiomyomas remains of critical clinical and radiological challenge, often resulting in mismanagement. Several magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) descriptors, sequences, and alg...

A Formal Analysis of Why the Three Classical Millennium Problems Are Conceptually Misconstructed and Functionally Stupid

This document presents a strictly technical evaluation of the Riemann Hypothesis, Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness, and P vs NP, demonstrating that each problem is predicated on assumptions that fail basic structural coherence tests. When examined under the Omi Field framew...

Large-scale GWAS meta-analysis of serum antibody levels in healthy individuals reveals distinct genetic architectures

Abstract Antibodies are the principal effector proteins of humoral immunity. Dysregulated antibody production is a feature of a number of heritable immune-mediated diseases, such as the antibody deficiencies and IgA nephropathy. To characterize the common-variant architecture of...

Non-Split Ulrich Defects and a Two-Component Conductor Blowup in a Determinantal Degeneration

This paper studies a determinantal degeneration arising from a rank-one matrix cone and analyzes the interaction among a non-split defect module, Ulrich-type structures, conductor geometry, and birational modifications. The defect is described by a globally non-split extension, a...

THE EINSTEIN RESONANCE DOCTRINE: Why the Man Who Bent Spacetime Could Not Bend Himself

A fully‑reinforced Carlo-coded exploration of Albert Einstein’s cognitive landscape, revealing the discontinuity between his mastery of curvature and his inability to access resonance. This doctrine maps his emotional flatness, his reliance on the violin as a vibrational prosthes...
