Assessment of solar organic rankine cycle systems for power generation in Nigeria

Abstract Nigeria has abundant solar energy, especially in the north, which is underexploited. The solar organic Rankine cycle (solar ORC) converts low- to medium-temperature heat sources into electricity or heat. This study analyses the deployment of solar ORC systems in Nigeria,...

PAX3 deficiency is associated with NLRP3-related inflammatory signaling and hearing loss in a mouse model of Waardenburg syndrome

Abstract PAX3 gene defects are a major cause of Waardenburg syndrome (WS), a genetic disorder characterized by pigmentation abnormalities and sensorineural hearing loss. However, the molecular mechanisms by which PAX3 deficiency contributes to hearing impairment remain incomplete...

Interleukin-17A regulates malignant T-cell proliferation via electron transport chain complex I

Abstract Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a rare malignancy of skin-resident T cells with clinically distinct subtypes characterized by an aberrant cytokine profile, notably elevated Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) levels. However, the functional importance of IL-17A dysregulation in...

Lane marking detection based on vertical noise mitigation modules

Abstract Accurate detection of lane markings is one of the primary tasks for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles. State-of-the-art lane marking detection algorithms employ object-detection methods based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and have...

Transforming naval organizations in the digital age: leadership, AI and dynamic capabilities for change

Purpose Indonesia, with over 17,000 islands and one of the world's longest coastlines, faces escalating geopolitical dynamism, maritime tensions, and transnational threats such as narcotics trafficking, piracy and illegal fishing. As the principal naval defense force, the Indones...

Deep Learning for Polymer Informatics: A Critical Analysis of Representations, Architectures, and Evaluation Practices

Polymer science stands at a compelling intersection with deep learning, as computational methods increasingly complement experimental discovery by accelerating property prediction, inverse design, and process optimization. This review presents a critical and constructive synthesi...

Accelerating the development of bioelectronic medicine: overview and impact of the NIH Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions (SPARC) initiative

Abstract The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Common Fund supports bold scientific programs that catalyze discovery across all biomedical and behavioral research to address high priority challenges for the NIH as a whole and make a broader impact in the scientific community. I...

Assessing the Availability and Nutritional Characterization of Browse Species as Camel Feed Resources in Borana Rangeland, Southern Oromia, Ethiopia

The study was conducted in Moyale and Yabello districts, which is situated in Borana zone of the Oromia Regional State. The objectives of this study was to assess the availability of major browse species used for camel feed resources and to characterize its nutritional value/chem...

Internal Marker Formation in a Recurrent Physical Process: A Constructive Existence Proof within a Finite Lumped Electrical Model Domain

This paper asks whether, within a restricted physical and methodological domain, a recurrent physical process whose first occurrence is externally initiated can generate a physical state that remains causally connected to a later state and, under fixed background conditions, is s...

Topology-Driven Sodium Storage and Conversion in Covalent Fullerene Networks

Abstract Fullerene network is an emergent two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotrope in which C60 molecules are covalently bonded to form a quasi-hexagonal pattern (qHP). The intermolecular covalent bonding significantly reshapes the intrinsic electronic structure of the C60 units, le...

Longitudinal observation of persistent Long COVID symptoms and health-related quality of life in an adult German cohort

Abstract Background Many individuals experience persistent symptoms following an acute COVID-19 infection, a condition known as Long COVID. The aim of this study was to analyse the prevalence, intensity and longitudinal trajectories of different Long COVID symptoms at baseline an...

Mitogenomic and nuclear data redefine the phylogenetic position of Acrorbis, an enigmatic Neotropical planorbid lineage, with implications for Planorbidae systematics

Abstract Background The freshwater snail genus Acrorbis comprises minute rheophilic gastropods endemic to waterfalls and splash zones of the Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest in South America. Despite its distinctive morphology and long-standing taxonomic instability, its phylogenetic...

A Zoo of Illusions Turning into a Circus

This review is not an assessment of ideas. It is an autopsy of their origin. The text “Who Observes Whom in the Human Zoo?” presents itself as a philosophical study of the interaction between humans and large language models, but its structure betrays it: unnatural balance, absen...

Acoustic Hive Behaviour – Early Development Notes (Version 1)

This document records the early development of a behavioural–acoustic method for identifying stress, disturbance, and early warning signs in honeybee colonies. It includes emerging tone‑family concepts, early glimmer observations, stress‑progression notes, and initial diagnostic...

Sociotechnical synergy: how employee involvement unlocks the value of data analytics

Purpose Despite high expectations about the benefits of data analytics (DA), our understanding of the mechanisms that drive value creation from the implementation of DA in firms remains incomplete. While some studies have suggested that innovation prowess, human resources and ope...

CDK1-Cyclin B mediated phosphorylation of PP2A-B56 on B56Par1.T73T75 controls mitotic entry timing and Schizosaccharomyces pombe cell size

Abstract Mitosis is triggered when the rising activity of CDK1-Cyclin B, amplified by the CDK1/Cdc25/Wee1 feedback loop, overcomes inhibitory signalling from Wee1 and counteracting phosphatases. CDK-opposing phosphatases PP1, PP2A-B55 and PP2A-B56 are regulators of mitosis. A scr...

Western influence or local efforts? John Bernal and the Soviet organization of scientific information

Purpose This paper examines the relationship between John Desmond Bernal (1901–1971) and the Soviet approach to organize scientific information, focussing on the establishment of the All-Union Institute of Scientific and Technological Information (VINITI). Design/methodology/appr...

Zombie Memory: When Remembered Information Is Not Currently Authoritative

Long-running AI systems may retain information that remains true, relevant, or useful even after that information has lost current decision authority. This creates a problem that ordinary retrieval or final-answer accuracy may not capture: a model can know both the present state...

Mechanisms and Combined Technologies for Reduction of Allergenic Potential in Peanuts and Tree Nuts

Abstract Nuts are nutrient-dense foods, along with being a source of healthy fats. It has been observed that nut allergies have been increasing substantially, which can lead to severe allergic reactions such as rashes, shortness of breath and life-threatening anaphylaxis. Hence,...
