Transcriptome Reversal in Sulfate Transporter Involves Abiotic Stress in Sesuvium portulacastrum L.

Sulfur is an essential nutrient involved in plant growth, redox regulation, and responses to environmental stresses. Sulfate transporters (SULTRs) control sulfate uptake and distribution, thereby affecting sulfur availability for metabolic processes and stress adaptation. However...

BASE 44 ORDER: Implement E8 root-vector projection layer in news signal pipeline — E8 Intelligence Research

Andrew's order (Base 44 console): [SELF-BUILD from enhancement #237] Add E8 root-vector projection layer to news signal pipeline: map incoming news embeddings to E8 lattice, compute harmonic weights via dot product with root vectors, then feed weighted features into existing fore...

Comparison of lower urinary tract symptoms between incontinent males and females: An analysis of AUASS and its subdomains

Introduction and objectives: The American Urological Association Symptom Score (AUASS) assesses lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), primarily in males with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Though validated in females, differences remain understudied. This study compares AUASS in in...

Similarities and differences in structure and information content among calling song, courtship song and aggression song in Acheta domesticus crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllidae)

The ability of crickets to produce three distinct, context-specific acoustic signals – calling song, courtship song, and aggression song – provides a model for understanding how complex communication systems evolve to mediate competing pressures like mate attraction and rival det...

Golden Ratio and Five-Fold Symmetry in Quasicrystals via Penrose Tilings — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Five-fold rotational symmetry is forbidden in periodic lattices but emerges in quasicrystals via aperiodic tiling governed by the golden ratio. MATH: Golden ratio φ = (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.618; its reciprocal φ⁻¹ ≈ 0.618; complex golden ratio ζ = e^(iπ/5) = φ/2 + i√(3-φ)/2 (a 5th...

The Political Architecture of Sustained Irrationality: How Institutional Design Enables Negative-Sum Decision-Making

This paper develops an integrative theoretical framework for understanding why political institutions systematically reward decisions that produce negative-sum outcomes, a phenomenon termed institutionally enabled irrationality. The framework identifies three interacting mechanis...

Spatiotemporal Heterogeneity of Ecosystem Service Interactions and Their Driving Factors Across Different Spatial Scales in China’s Coastal Cities: An XGBoost–SHAP Analysis

Accurately understanding the complex interactions among ecosystem services (ESs) and their driving mechanisms across multiple temporal and spatial scales is essential for effective ecological governance and regional sustainable development. To address the limited simultaneous con...

The Surah Map of the Qur'an | خريطة سور القرآن — The Structural, Thematic, and Transformational Profile of All 114 Surahs — Institutional Research & Book Framework Edition

The Surah Map of the Qur’an is Volume III of The Qur’anic Coherence System and converts the method of Volume I and the macro-orientation of Volume II into a consistent reference architecture for all 114 surahs. Its central problem is comparability. Qur’anic studies often contain...

A proposed evaluation of new approach methodologies for dermal toxicity assessment of botanicals

Background Botanicals are widely used in topical formulations for cosmetics, hair care, and personal care products, reflecting consumer interest in plant-derived materials. Their complex and variable composition, presents challenges for traditional toxicological approaches develo...

Study on the use of aqueous nano-MgO dispersions for mild deacidification of ancient books

Abstract During the long-term preservation of ancient books, acidic substances will continuously erode and cause them to suffer severe damage. As a mild deacidification agent, nano-MgO is often dispersed in organic solvents for large-scale deacidification. This study is based on...

Metabolic Syndrome and Pancreatic Cancer: Linking Insulin Resistance, Inflammation, and Carcinogenesis

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a composite classification defined by heterogeneous combinations of cardiometabolic abnormalities. Several components have been associated with pancreatic cancer (PC), but studies often conflate long-term metabolic exposure, tumor-related prediagnosti...

Existence of a Half-Iterate of the Exponential Map

We consider the classical problem of a compositional square root of the exponentialmap: a function φ with φ ◦ φ = exp. We first give a short, entirely elementary proof that astrictly increasing solution exists on R, using nothing beyond single-variable calculus. Suchsolutions are...

Determination of the Electric Charge of the Etherons constituting the Photon
