Atrial fibrillation (AF) contributes to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 10 (USP10) plays a crucial role in numerous cellular processes; however, its particular role in AF remains largely unexplored. In the present study, USP10 expression was a...

FINDING: Icosahedral vertex coordinates are explicitly generated by the golden ratio φ, and the 600-cell (4D regular polytope) is the 4D analogue of the icosahedron, with its vertices also expressible in terms of φ. The 120-cell (4D dodecahedron) is dual to the 600-cell. An icosa...

Abstract Research examining the psychological predictors of conspiracy belief has overwhelmingly examined conspiracies that are unverified and/or implausible. Doing so potentially conflates ‘rational’ thinking with the tendency to heuristically reject conspiracist explanations. I...

The finding is this: the 240 root vectors of the E8 lattice, when coupled to the golden ratio phi, map in a structurally suggestive way onto the tubulin lattice geometry inside microtubules of neural cells, sharing a common fibration topology. Let me give you the context. We alre...

After the Conversation: How Repeated AI Interaction May Reshape Human Contact and Inner Life
Conversational AI is usually evaluated at the level of the exchange: whether a response is useful, accurate, supportive, persuasive, harmful, or emotionally meaningful. This paper shifts the unit of analysis to what happens after the exchange. Existing research suggests that repe...

Dysregulation of cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and glucose metabolism is thought to be an important metabolic link between metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), type 2 diabetes (T2D), and cardiovascular disease. Although the choles...

Abstract The Itaboraí Basin, Southeastern Brazil, preserved one of the most diverse mammalian faunas from the Paleogene, with Metatheria comprising more than 60% of its diversity. Among identified metatherian clades, it has been argued that Paucituberculata is represented by “ Ri...

Non-Abelian Anyon Braiding for Topological Quantum Computing — E8 Intelligence Research
FINDING: Anyon braiding implements topological qubits via non-Abelian statistics in 2D systems, with experimental progress in fractional quantum Hall and superconducting platforms. | MATH: Braid group B_n generators σ_i satisfy σ_i σ_{i+1} σ_i = σ_{i+1} σ_i σ_{i+1} (Yang–Baxter e...

Background Anorectal conditions are commonly managed in primary healthcare (PHC), but little is known about physicians’ experiences, confidence, and perceived barriers in geographically remote settings. Identifying these factors may help guide educational and healthcare-network i...

Borrowed Safety: How Output-Centric AI Governance Depletes the Human Capacity It Assumes
This preprint develops the borrowed-safety thesis: output-centric AI controls can reduce visible hosted-platform risk while weakening the distributed human capacity needed to secure, verify, and govern future AI deployment. It introduces containment, incidence, regeneration, and...

Stress-Testing Local Neural-Dynamics Equivalence in a Connectome-Constrained Visual System
Connectomes constrain which neurons can interact, but neural computation also depends on dynamics that connectomic measurements do not determine. This study asks a compositional question: if an alternative neuron model is locally equivalent to a source model on held-out, source-c...

FINDING: The E8 lattice and binary icosahedral group 2I are linked via quaternion order parameters, providing a group-theoretic mechanism for icosahedral quasicrystal solidification from isotropic liquids. | MATH: E8 root system: 240 vertices, 6720 edges; Coxeter number h=30; the...

Background: Postoperative pain after thyroid surgery is usually mild to moderate but it may increase analgesic requirement and reduce early patient comfort. Ultrasound-guided bilateral superficial cervical plexus block is a useful regional technique for thyroid surgery. Different...

This paper examines the lyrical corpus of The Mars Volta (seven studio albums, 2003--2022) through the interpretive framework developed in two companion papers: a three-level architecture of moral responsibility for formed agents, and a computational ontology grounded in Islamic...

Abstract In March 2024, the Republic of Kazakhstan unified its administrative time to UTC + 5, creating a nationwide natural experiment across a 30-degree longitudinal gradient. This structural shift offered a rare opportunity to evaluate how abrupt temporal restructuring correla...

ABSTRACT Environmental drivers and stochastic events, such as hurricanes and oil spills, can potentially affect the growth of red drum ( Sciaenops ocellatus ) and hence their fisheries productivity. We assessed multidecadal changes in their growth using otolith sclerochronology,...
