Quasi-Self-Motion-Based Singularity Avoidance for Free-Floating Space Robots

We propose a novel singularity-avoidance method for continuous path planning that maintains zero path-tracking error of a non-redundant free-floating space robot (FFSR). Singularities are a major challenge in the path planning of space robots and may lead to the failure of end-ef...

Programming High‐Density Mesoporosity in Monodispersed MOF Single Crystals via Inherent Jahn–Teller Distortion

ABSTRACT Incorporating high‐density mesoporosity into single crystals has long posed a fundamental challenge, as traditional pore‐engineering methods inevitably impair long‐range crystalline order. Here, we repurpose an inherent crystallographic defect—the Jahn–Teller distortion...

Computed Retrieval, Decided Verdicts: A Parameter-Free Retrieval-to-Verification Chain over a Decidable Program Fragment

Technical report of the LNFdex(TM) engine: a retrieval-to-verification chain in which retrieval is computed (hash-derived 256-bit binary hypervectors, Hamming ranking, no learned parameters, no floats) and the verdict is decided (exhaustive verification over a 54-point decidable...

Necessity and plurality of neural dynamics under ROSE

I am grateful to the authors of the commentary articles for identifying productive points of pressure for any neurocomputational account of syntax: whether semantic interpretation can proceed without a full syntactic derivation; how dynamical motifs are selected and coordinated;...

Quantum Structural Theory of Harmony (QSTH 6.0 Revised) — Born Set Invariants: From Probability Readout to Informational Admissibility

QSTH 6.0 Revised — Born Set Invariants returns to the foundational role of the Born rule within the broader architecture of the Quantum Structural Theory of Harmony (QSTH). Rather than treating the Born rule solely as a probabilistic output of quantum measurement, the work examin...

Urban riots security nexus: an analysis of the drivers and impacts of the July 2021 riots in South Africa

South Africa is plagued by a culture of protest action and urban riots which has become manifest in the post-1994 era. Of grave concern is that violence has become a common feature in these protests and urban riots, both of which pose a threat to human security. In this light, th...

CGCLER: Causality-Enhanced Graph Contrastive Learning for Explainable Recommendation

Explainable recommendation has been conceptualized as a joint ranking task encompassing both items and explanations within contemporary recommender system research. The modeling of user–item–explanation triplets can be effectively facilitated by Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) due t...

A Biofabricated Human Acinus‐on‐a‐Chip Unveils Mechanotransductive Drivers of Ventilator‐Induced Lung Injury via Decoupling Volutrauma and Barotrauma

Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), an iatrogenic complication of mechanical ventilation, remains poorly understood due to the absence of physiologically relevant in vitro models, impeding targeted therapy development. Here, we engineer a bioinspired acinus-on-a-chip model rec...

Mechanical and durability properties of concrete mixed and cured in hypersaline water

Abstract This study investigates the influence of hypersaline water on the compressive strength, bleeding, and water absorption of concrete, comparing freshwater and saltwater curing environments. Mixes were prepared using 0%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 30% saltwater by weight of mixing...

Explaining gender differences in the associations between care network type and depressive symptoms of older adults in the Netherlands

The association between long-term care use and mental health is ambiguous: informal care is generally negatively related to depressive symptoms, while formal care use is positively associated. As both care use and mental health are highly gendered, this study explored gender diff...

HALLYU IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY IN SOUTH KOREA'S CULTURAL DIPLOMACY IN SOUTHEAST ASIA IN THE EARLY 21ST CENTURY

Abstract: The Korean Wave (Hallyu) has become one of South Korea's most influential soft power assets, significantly enhancing the country's cultural presence and diplomatic engagement across Southeast Asia. While previous studies have primarily examined the popularity and socio-...

Highly Thermally Stable and Efficient Ru/ MAFO Catalysts for Glucose Hydrogenolysis to 1,2‐Propylene Glycol

ABSTRACT The catalytic hydrogenolysis of glucose to produce 1,2‐propylene glycol (1,2‐PG) has opened promising avenues for sustainable chemical production. However, traditional Ru‐based catalysts suffer from issues such as high metal loading, poor dispersion, and a tendency to ag...

Forced Shadows of an Obstructed Hyperbolic Kac–Moody Denominator

The four orders of the quaternion algebra B6 carry four reflective wall data on lattices of signature (3,2); three integrate to Borcherds denominators and one is obstructed. The failed denominator survives as a weakly harmonic Maass form, and we prove its shadow is a Hecke eigenf...

Equivalence relations derived from $U$- and $V$-partial orders on bounded lattices: different neutral and zero elements perspective

This paper investigates the equivalence relations and algebraic structures induced by $U$-partial and $V$-partial orders on bounded lattices, respectively, with respect to the different neutral and zero elements. The study begins by presenting the equivalence classes associated w...

CrayStack ensemble machine learning for predicting engine performance and emissions of multiple feedstock biodiesel blends with CaO-Al2O3 nanoparticles

Abstract The global transition toward sustainable energy has positioned multi-oil feedstocks (Garcinia gummi-gutta and Garcinia indica) to increase feedstock availability, which is vital to biodiesel production, thereby reducing fossil fuel dependencies and limiting harmful emiss...

Factors Associated with Extreme Waiting Times for Child Developmental Diagnostic Assessments: A Mixed-Methods Service Evaluation in Sydney

Background: Previous Australian child developmental assessment service (CDAS) cohorts have identified a small proportion of children experiencing extreme waiting times (≥730 days) for standardised developmental assessments. However, factors associated with these extreme waits rem...

Face orientation in offender portraits: Differences by crime type and gender

A left-cheek bias has often been reported in previous studies of general portraiture. However, it remains unclear whether a similar tendency appears in offender portraits. The present study examined face orientation in newspaper portraits of murderers and fraud offenders. The ana...

Religious Opposition, Communication Strategies and Ecumenical Approaches in Augustine

Augustine’s writings are characterized by his opposition to (primarily) three heretical and schismatic groups: the Manichaeans, the Donatists and the Pelagians (although De Haeresibus addresses a much greater range of heresies), as well as criticism of Jerome (within his own comm...

Management Patterns and Outcomes of Vestibular Schwannoma in Older Adults: Assessment of the SEER Database

OBJECTIVE: Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is a benign intracranial tumor that is increasingly diagnosed in older adults. The relative contributions of tumor burden and surgical management to overall survival in elderly and very elderly patients remain incompletely characterized at a...

FHL3 Regulates Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotypic Switching Through the MRTFB-SRF Signaling Axis

Genome-wide association studies have uncovered many coronary artery disease (CAD) loci, but mechanisms linking risk variants to vascular biology remain unclear. We screen candidate causal CAD genes for regulators of the vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) contractile phenotype usi...
