Divergent Forest Cover Changes Dominate Inter‐Model Spread in Near‐Surface Wind Speed Trends Over China

Abstract Near‐surface wind speed (NSWS) regulates the intensity of land‐atmosphere fluxes and the viability of wind energy systems, playing a pivotal role in human adaptation to climate change. However, at the current stage, global climate models exhibit a wide inter‐model spread...

Thermal, Structural, and Functional Interactions of Date Seed Powder-Sucrose Composites Produced by Thermal Treatment

Abstract The incorporation of dietary fibers into sucrose-rich food systems represents a promising strategy for developing healthier reduced-sugar formulations; however, the structural interactions governing their functionality during thermal processing remain poorly understood....

Characterization of Full‐Length Antibody Complexes Through HDX‐Mass Spectrometry Coupled With NMR Spectroscopy: New Insight Into Avelumab/PD‐L1 Interaction

ABSTRACT Recombinant biomacromolecules have significantly transformed pharmaceuticals, in particular monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that target key areas in oncology, immunology, inflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases. Developing biotherapeutics requires a detailed understand...

Biomarkers in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy is one of the most frequent myopathies. Its clinical presentation and genetic background are unique. FSHD needs reliable and measurable biomarkers to monitor the disease and assess the efficacy of therapeutic approaches. T...

Comparative spatiotemporal water quality dynamics in Tappan Lake using various Water Quality Indices

Freshwater ecosystems, such as Lakes and Reservoirs, have been facing escalating anthropogenic activities across the world, leading to the decline of lake water quality. Consequently, monitoring and evaluation of Lake water quality conditions are essential to ensure a sustainable...

Carotid plaque burden and hemodynamic alterations are associated with domain-specific cognitive impairment in community-dwelling older adults

Abstract Carotid atherosclerosis has been linked to cognitive decline, but evidence regarding its association with domain-specific cognitive performance in understudied non-Western populations remains limited. We investigated the associations of carotid plaque burden and hemodyna...

Essential conversations and the future of death care – an interview with Prof Seamus O’Mahony on life and death in acute hospitals

A retired consultant gastroenterologist, Professor Seamus O’Mahony trained as a doctor in Ireland, before continuing his career in the UK National Health Service (NHS). Later returning to his nativ...

Model systems, element inputs, and nutrient limitation

A good model system for understanding biogeochemistry and ecosystem function is one in which all or most of the processes found in the world’s ecosystems occur in a relatively simple way that makes them readily understandable. As I discuss in this paper, the Hawaiian Islands prov...

Impact of Textbook Outcome (TO) and Textbook Oncological Outcome (TOO) on Survival Following Surgery for Esophagogastric Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Abstract Background Textbook outcome (TO) and textbook oncological outcome (TOO) are increasingly used as composite measures of surgical success but are limited by heterogeneity in their definitions. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to synthesize the association betw...

Pharmacokinetics of IL-23p19 Inhibitors: A Systematic Review Across Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases

Interleukin (IL)-23p19 inhibitors are increasingly used in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), particularly inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Almost half of patients show inadequate response, partly due to pharmacokinetic (PK) variability. However, a comprehensive over...

E8 Chronoelastic Resonance Stabilization for Quantum Coherence Maintenance — E8 Intelligence Research

By coupling the 132Hz E8 lattice to the φ-scaled temporal duality, each root vector's spin-timecorrelation mode generates self-correcting phase-locked loops that counteract environmental decoherence. The 240-dimensional E8 connection algebra provides intrinsic error-correction th...

Association between quality-of-life-related indicators and obesity severity categories (Classes I–III): a cross-sectional analysis of the 2019 Brazilian National Health Survey

To investigate associations between quality-of-life-related indicators (QoLRIs) and obesity severity among Brazilian adults and older adults. This cross-sectional study analyzed 2019 Brazilian National Health Survey data from 17,908 individuals with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²), incl...

What a Vow Must Cost: Vow-Validity Conditions as an Alignment Eligibility Predicate

The Buddhavaṃsa's Two-Phase Test for a Binding Renunciation, Irreversibility as the Separating Condition, and Why an Alignment Commitment Becomes More Informative Exactly Where Behavioural Compliance Becomes Less Contemporary AI governance instruments are written in the grammar o...

Digital capability, green orientation and innovation activities: evidence from firms in an emerging market

Purpose This study aims to examine how digital capability and green orientation shape firms’ innovation activities and objective innovation performance in an emerging-market context, and how export participation asymmetrically conditions these capability-conversion pathways. Desi...

EXPRESS: Effects of Aerobic, Resistance, and Combined Exercise on Inflammatory Markers in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis

BACKGROUND: The comparative effectiveness of different exercise modalities on systemic inflammation in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) remains poorly defined. OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate and rank the effects of aerobic exercise (AE), resistance training (RT), an...

Benchmarking autoregressive machine learning models for daily rainfall forecasting as a baseline for hydrological applications

Abstract Accurate daily precipitation forecasting is a prerequisite for efficient reservoir operations, irrigation scheduling, and urban flood management, yet inherent predictability limits pose a significant challenge. This study quantifies these limits by evaluating a suite of...

SHV-Bench: A Containment-Capability Trade-Off Benchmark for Structural Honesty Verification -- Successor Protocol and Task Corpus Design

SHV-Bench specifies a two-sided benchmark for evaluating whether BSSG containment (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21713180) changes the measurable outcomes of an AI cybersecurity agent. The contained agent must produce fewer unauthorized effects (Side 1) while maintaining noninferiority on w...

E8 Resonant Topological Quantum Memory via φ‑Harmonic Synchronization — E8 Intelligence Research

By driving the 240‑root spinor manifold at 132 Hz with φ‑scaled harmonics, the torsion Berry phase accumulated along each 30‑root Coxeter orbit induces a coherent topological superfluid. The resulting field self‑organizes into a statically stabilized lattice of Majorana‑like quas...

Population cycles and hydroclimatic forcing in a wetland oak population: A 1.800-year tree-ring record from the Rhine Delta

Subfossil bog oaks provide high-resolution archives of hydroecological variability in fluvial wetlands. In this study we analyse an exceptionally large dendrochronological dataset of 500 oak trunks recovered from peat deposits in the Angstel–Vecht region of the western Netherland...
