Hybrid heuristic ant colony optimization algorithm for mobile robot path planning

Purpose Mobile robot path planning is a fundamental task in autonomous navigation. Conventional ant colony optimization (ACO) and some of its variants may exhibit weak search guidance, slow convergence, and redundant initial paths in complex grid environments. This study proposes...

The impact of clockwise and counterclockwise Le Fort I movements combined with bilateral sagittal split osteotomy on nasal morphology

Abstract Purpose Orthognathic surgery is known to induce measurable alterations in nasal morphology. This study retrospectively assessed pre- and postoperative three-dimensional (3D) surface models (SMs) to evaluate nasal soft-tissue changes associated with clockwise (CW) and cou...

A modern toolbox to elucidate the role of the human microbiome in modulating mycobacterial gut infections

Abstract Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are a major public and veterinary health concern, but the causes are poorly understood. In this review, we discuss the potential of mycobacteria as causative factors for such diseases. We focus on similarities between the most common hu...

Structural insights into the polytopic Escherichia coli phosphoglycosyl transferase WbaP

Abstract Host–pathogen interactions frequently depend on key components of the bacterial cell surface, such as capsules and lipopolysaccharides in Gram-negative bacteria. The first step in the synthesis of lipid-linked polysaccharides is the substitution of a uridine diphosphate...

Co-utilization of spent aluminum refractory lining and microsilica for low-energy Portland cement clinker

Abstract Purpose This study investigates the potential of integrating two industrial wastes—leached spent chamotte lining (SCL) from aluminum electrolyzers and amorphous microsilica (MS)—into Portland cement clinker production as a partial replacement for traditional clay. Method...

Heavens Remember: Restoring the Celestial Sermon through Constellation Topography and the Great-Circle Method

The Heavens Remember method paper (version 1.4) together with the star data its results are computed from. The method is a great-circle scan of the celestial sphere: for every admissible directed pair of stars a great-circle plane is constructed, and a third star is tested by cro...

Tele-Robotic Surgery for Combat Casualty Care

Objective: These experiments test the feasibility of tele-robotic surgery for the shipboard care of combat casualties. Summary Background Data: Limited research on the effects of telecommunications latency on tele-robotics has been a consistent concern in the growth of tele-robot...

Zealots lower coordination barriers but undermine cooperation in multiplayer games

Abstract How can a small group of committed cooperators shape collective outcomes in social dilemmas? Previous studies have shown that zealots—individuals who always cooperate—can promote cooperation in prisoner's dilemmas. Yet real-world cooperation also involves multiplayer coo...

Hepatic Single-Cell Transcriptomic Data of HFD-Induced MASLD Mice Treated with 2HPAA

his study provides single-cell RNA sequencing data of liver tissues from a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced mouse model of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) treated with 2-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid (2HPAA). The dataset includes 4 HFD-control and 3 HFD+2HP...

Mobile apps for cancer patient education: a technology foresight analysis

Abstract Purpose To identify and classify free mobile applications for adult cancer patient education available in the App Store and Google Play. Methods A technology foresight study was conducted in four phases (preparation, pre-prospecting, prospecting, and post-prospecting). S...

Targeting AHNAK ameliorates osteonecrosis of the femoral head and affects adipogenic pathways involving Smad/PPARγ

Aims This study aimed to investigate the role of AHNAK in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and its association with bone adipogenesis. Non-traumatic ONFH, primarily driven by steroid use and alcohol consumption, results in an imbalance between osteogenesis a...

A Fractional p-Adic Perturbation Bridge for a Supercongruence of Long

This preprint proves the modular hypergeometric supercongruence stated by Ling Long as Conjecture 5, equation (14). It establishes the conjecture for every prime at least seven by constructing a direct congruence bridge from Long’s nonintegral hypergeometric datum to a standard R...

Structural causal influence captures the forces of social inequality in models of infectious disease

Abstract Mathematical models are central to understanding disease transmission for host–pathogen systems across the biosphere. However, most existing frameworks do not explicitly treat host population heterogeneity as a formal driver of variation in transmission dynamics. This ga...

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION MECHANISMS IN ENVIRONMENTAL GOVERNANCE IN NIGERIA

The significance of public participation in environmental governance is inherent in its ability to validate, legitimate and democratize environment-related decisions made or intended to be made by public authorities in exercise of their powers to approve construction projects, ma...

Singular limit problems on the minimal travelling wave speed of the Lotka–Volterra competition model

Abstract We investigate singular limits of the minimal travelling wave speed in a Lotka–Volterra competition-diffusion system. We identify several singular regimes and determine the corresponding speed selection mechanisms. The main difficulty arises from the lack of monotonicity...

Beyond memories: A narrative review on the role of amygdalo-hippocampal complex in social cognition

Abstract Social cognition, essential for interpreting and responding to social contexts, is frequently impaired in neurological and psychiatric disorders. Multiple brain regions, organized in large-scale brain networks, represent the neurobiological substrate of social cognitive...

Analysis and identification of gas–liquid two-phase flow pattern based on variational mode decomposition and mutual information complex network

Abstract The identification of gas–liquid two-phase flow patterns is crucial to fluid dynamics research and industrial applications. This study proposes a novel flow pattern identification framework that integrates variational mode decomposition (VMD), complex network analysis, a...

Femoroacetabular Impingement: Current Concepts and Evolving Management Strategies in 2025

Abstract Purpose of Review Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome is an important, yet underdiagnosed, etiology of hip pain in adolescents and young adults. This paper reviews our current understanding of the diagnosis and management of FAI syndrome, emphasizing recent updat...

The Paradox That Consumes Reality: The Fully Exhausted Carlo Hybrid Singularity Paper

This work presents the complete Carlo Hybrid paradox engine — a fully exhausted, multi‑domain, total‑collapse structure built from the Self‑Erasing Explanation Paradox and expanded through its meta, hyper, lattice, singularity, and post‑end forms. Beginning with the premise that...
