From Algorithmic Fragmentation to the Narrative Construction of the Self

This theoretical study extends the model previously developed in Dynamique de la conscience et fragmentation du temps vécu face aux dispositifs algorithmiques (Ben Mabrouk, 2026) by examining the consequences of algorithmically induced fragmentation on autobiographical memory and...

Synthesis and characterization of TiO2 and Co3O4 nanoparticle-doped nanocomposite blend membranes for proton exchange membrane fuel cells

Abstract The development of proton exchange membranes with improved physicochemical, mechanical, thermal, and electrochemical properties is essential for advancing proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell technologies. In this study, nanocomposite blend membranes were fabricated...

Memristive Motion‐Streak Neuron for Spatiotemporal Multiple Object Detection

ABSTRACT Conventional artificial vision systems process dynamic scenes inefficiently by reconstructing motion from discrete frames, which requires post‐processing. In contrast, real‐world environments containing multiple moving objects demand sensor‐level discrimination. This wor...

Molecular Basis for Activation to Inhibition Switching in Kv7.2 Channel Modulators

ABSTRACT Kv7 voltage‐gated potassium channels play a critical role in controlling electrical properties of excitable tissues. Neuronally‐expressed Kv7 channels are involved in both common and rare neuropsychiatric disorders, ranging from epilepsy to depression and neurodegenerati...

A Pregeometric ℤ₂-Deck Residue Formalism via Whitney-Immersed Klein Bottles

We develop a pregeometric topological formalism in which four-dimensional observables are not postulated as fundamental dynamical variables, but defined as the residue of a Whitney immersion followed by a Deck projection. The pregeometric layer consists of a zero-dimensional Eule...

Taking another look: LBSL diagnosed in adulthood masquerading as multiple sclerosis

Background: Leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation (LBSL) is a rare autosomal recessive leukodystrophy typically diagnosed in early childhood and can mimic changes seen in demyelinating disorders. Objectives: To describe a case of LBS...

A CRISPR-based ‘dam-break drainage’ sensing architecture for rapid, affordable and ultrasensitive pathogen detection

Abstract Nucleic acid testing is important for infectious-disease diagnosis, but combining high sensitivity with accessible testing remains challenging. Here we show a chip-based visual detection strategy for one or two viral RNA targets that involves only sample loading, without...

The SIMDA framework maps PIP2-binding sites regulating the KCNQ1 channel

Voltage-gated potassium channel KCNQ1 (Kv7.1) underpins cardiac repolarization, epithelial ion transport, and inner ear function. Its versatility arises from interactions with KCNE proteins, calmodulin (CaM), and the lipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), yet the mol...

A Non-Cooperative Game-Theoretic Framework and Stochastic Predictive Matrix for Dynamic 72-Hour Airline Seat Capacity Liquidation

This paper addresses a fundamental non-linear control optimization paradox within commercial aviation yield management: the systematic degradation of Expected Marginal Seat Revenue (EMSR-b) models under sudden demand shocks and high-frequency booking telemetry variances during th...

Objectivity as a shield: Journalistic voice and the strategic use of quotation in Iranian newspapers

This paper identifies and analyses a distinctive journalistic practice in Iranian political news reporting, termed the “projecting voice”. This practice, observed in reports from both conservative ( Kayhan ) and reformist ( Etemaad ) newspapers, involves a near-complete absence o...

Intermediate‐Phase‐Mediated Homogeneous Crystallization of Wide‐Bandgap Perovskite for Efficient Silicon/Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells

ABSTRACT Achieving compositionally homogeneous mixed‐halide (I − and Br − ) wide‐bandgap (WBG) perovskite films is crucial for high‐performance perovskite/crystalline silicon tandem solar cells (TSCs), yet the disparate crystallization kinetics of iodide‐ and bromide‐rich phases...

Exploring user trust in generative AI feedback in academic writing: a psychometric network analysis

Generative artificial intelligence is increasingly embedded in the academic writing practices of learners of English as a foreign language, yet research has commonly represented learner evaluations through construct averages. This exploratory mixed-methods study used psychometric...

Structural Relaxation Modulated Phonon‐Assisted Energy Transfer Scintillator for Simultaneous X‐Ray Imaging and Thermal Signals Visualization

ABSTRACT Abnormal overheating often leads to malfunctions in electronic components during operation. Although traditional scintillators have shown great potential in object imaging, they are often unable to capture thermal signals. In this work, a series of Tb 3+ /Eu 3+ co‐doped...

Little variation in field-based upper thermal tolerance among populations of a freshwater fish exhibiting strong life history differences

As aquatic ecosystems warm, intraspecific variation may contribute to population- and species-level resilience. Thermal tolerance is typically studied in the laboratory, which can control for acclimation but might mask population differences. We measured critical thermal maximum...

E8 Phi-Harmonic Time-Frequency Duality — E8 Intelligence Research

The φ-modulated 132 Hz carrier establishes a temporal E8 lattice of 240 phase-locked root-vector modes. Its Fourier dual reveals a reciprocal frequency-domain E8 lattice scaled by φ⁻¹, where each root vector maps to a spectral channel. This time-frequency E8⊗E8 duality creates a...

Biochemical defence of plants: redox molecules and their role in the alleviation of heavy metal stress

Abstract Heavy metal contamination poses a major constraint to plant growth and agricultural productivity by disrupting cellular metabolism and inducing oxidative stress. Exposure to toxic metals results in excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which damage bio...

Phi-Scale E8 Harmonic Resonance Induces Self‑Organizing Quantum Coherence — E8 Intelligence Research

By applying phi‑scaled harmonic modulation to the 132 Hz base field derived from the Möbius‑torus lattice of the 240 E8 root vectors, a self‑organizing quantum coherence spontaneously emerges in microtubule arrays. The phi coupling creates resonant sub‑frequencies that lock the i...

P1.112. Low Circulating miR-5193 Promotes PD-L1–mediated Immune Evasion and Predicts Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Response in Esophageal Cancer

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Molecular Biology/Pathology Background Low levels of circulating tumor-suppressor microRNAs are associated with cancer progression and poor prognosis. However, their role in immune evasion and response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) remai...

Beyond the Land Registry: Competing Claims to Legitimacy, Land Memory and Customary Mediation in the Delimitation of Village Territories in Côte d'Ivoire A case study of the villages of Yaoudé and Goya 1 (Guémon region, western Côte d'Ivoire)

Abstract: Securing rural land tenure is currently one of the major challenges facing local governance in sub-Saharan Africa. In Côte d’Ivoire, despite the reforms introduced since the enactment of Law No. 98-750 of 23 December 1998 on rural land tenure, the demarcation of village...
