- Engineering & TechnologyOpen access
In prior publications, we introduced a global system of interconnected E-ledgers that produces—in as close to real time as practicable—accurate, comparable, and verifiable accounts of the cradle-to-gate (net) greenhouse gas emissions in any product or service that transacts in th...

Abstract Research in the area of hallmarks of cancer has opened the possibility of designing novel therapeutic interventions based on modulating cancer properties. Interestingly, the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), important in both tumour growth and metastasis, has not...

Tracking funding disparities in global health aid with machine learning
Abstract Reducing the global burden of disease is crucial for improving health outcomes. However, misalignment between health aid and country-level disease burden leaves vulnerable populations without the necessary support for major health challenges, particularly in the least de...

Ferroptosis-Regulated Osteoblasts Under Compression Via GPX4/RUNX1 Pathway
Background: The adaptive remodeling of alveolar bone ensures the effectiveness and stability of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), but how to accurately regulate the remodeling of alveolar bone is the focus of orthodontic research. Ferroptosis plays an important role in bone remod...

Well-Being, Isolation, and Lockdowns in the UK
Abstract Social connection is a key determinant of emotional well-being, yet the role of solitude in shaping both momentary affect and well-being remains understudied. This paper investigates how being alone while engaging in daily activities relates to subjective well-being, usi...

ABSTRACT Background Monitoring the treatment of tuberculosis(TB) and human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) co-infection is very important to improve patient management and compliance. This study assessed the treatment outcomes of registered TB/HIV co-infected patients enrolled in the...

Abstract Introduction Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are well-established risk factors for obesity and psychiatric disorders in adulthood. Despite growing evidence, the association of specific ACE categories with the mental health of patients with severe obesity remains poo...

Nuclear mitochondrial sequences in great ape Telomere-to-Telomere genomes
Mitochondrial sequences have integrated into the nuclear genome since the origin of eukaryotes. Recent insertions that retain homology to extant mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), termed NUMTs, confound mtDNA sequence analysis. Here, we use great ape Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) genomes to...

BackgroundSmartphones have become essential tools in modern daily life, with usage intensifying in the post-pandemic era. Prolonged and addictive smartphone use has been increasingly associated with Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) in the upper extremity. Beyond usage duration, de...

Rewriting modulo in diagrammatic algebras and application to categorification
We develop a rewriting theory suitable for diagrammatic algebras and lay down the foundations of a systematic study of their higher structures. In this paper, we focus on the question of finding bases. As an application, we give the first proof of a basis theorem for graded $\mat...

Warped Geometries of Segre–Veronese Manifolds
Abstract. Segre–Veronese manifolds are smooth submanifolds of tensors comprising the partially symmetric rank-1 tensors. We investigate a one-parameter family of warped geometries of Segre–Veronese manifolds which includes the standard Euclidean geometry. This parameter controls...

Two-person zero-sum games without expected utility preferences: a proposal
A solution concept for two-person zero-sum games is proposed with only the Independence axiom assumed of players' preferences. We do not assume Continuity which is critical for many fixed-point theorems. Each player is shown to admit a set of "admissible" strategies assuring mini...

We provide a general Itō-Wentzell formula for a random field of maps on the Wasserstein space of probability measures, defined by continuous semimartingales, and evaluated along the flow of conditional distributions of another continuous semimartingale. Our method follows standar...

Cross-Currency Heath–Jarrow–Morton Framework in the Multiple-Curve Setting
Abstract. We provide a general Heath–Jarrow–Morton (HJM) framework for forward contracts written on abstract market indices with arbitrary fixing and payment adjustments and featuring collateralization in any currency denomination. In view of this, we first provide a thorough stu...

Abstract The world’s forests, and the biodiversity they contain, provide multiple cultural ecosystem services that are essential to people’s well-being. However, interactions between people and forests evolve alongside broader societal and environmental change, raising questions...

Abstract We construct families of imaginary special Lagrangian cylinders near transverse Maslov index 0 or 𝑛 intersection points of positive Lagrangian submanifolds in a general Calabi–Yau manifold. Hence we obtain geodesics of open positive Lagrangian submanifolds near such inte...

Interest rate parity theory predicts that yield spreads determine exchange rates. This paper proposes and validates a "Dual-Anchor Exchange Rate Theory" — the global exchange rate determination system has shifted from a U.S. dollar single anchor to a China-U.S. dual anchor, with...

The asset pricing literature has long treated all factors as parallel—inserted into the same linear equation, comparing whose coefficient is larger or more significant. This paper argues that this presumption is wrong and proposes an alternative framework: Factor Hierarchy Theory...

After being identified as a cross-market pricing factor (Tang, 2026), the deeper pricing attributes of the China-U.S. yield spread have yet to be fully revealed. This paper proposes and verifies that the China-U.S. yield spread is not an ordinary pricing factor but a "regime vari...

What is the relationship among factors in any complex system driven by multiple quantifiable factors? This paper advances two core propositions. The law proposition—the Factor Hierarchy Law: Factors naturally fall into two tiers. Rule factors determine which set of rules currentl...
