HiFi-Det: Collaborative Multi-Scale Frequency-Domain Feature Optimization for Crown-of-Thorns Starfish Detection in Complex Underwater Environments

Outbreaks of the Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (COTS, Acanthaster spp.) are a leading biological driver of coral cover loss, making timely and accurate population monitoring essential for reef management. Conventional diver-based surveys are labor-intensive and prone to missed detecti...

The first Bundibugyo virus vaccine trial: from first-in-human testing to outbreak readiness

On July 24, 2026, Oxford reported administering ChAdOx1 BDBV to the first participant in BD-Ebov, the first Phase I trial of a vaccine designed specifically against Bundibugyo virus. This single-ce...

Ultra-compact plasma photocathode in a hybrid wakefield accelerator

Abstract Plasma-based particle accelerators, realized by driving plasma waves with either an intense laser pulse or particle beam, offer accelerating fields orders of magnitude higher than conventional accelerators. This enables sources of highly relativistic electron beams with...

A knowledge tracing model based on heterogeneous exercise graphs and multi-source behavioral feature fusion in blended learning environments

With the widespread adoption of blended learning, learner data have evolved from single response sequences to multi-source heterogeneous behaviors spanning pre-class preparation and in-class interaction. This poses new challenges for traditional knowledge tracing methods in model...

A weak $m$-WGI for rectangular matrices

Inspired by significant results regarding the $m$-weak group inverse ($m$-WGI) and its generalization to rectangular matrices, known as the $W$-weighted $m$-WGI ($W$-$m$-WGI), we investigate the solvability of a new and more general matrix equations that extend those previously u...

Quantifying the Burden of Cerebellar and Ophthalmologic Disease in Lambdoid Craniosynostosis

OBJECTIVE: Lambdoid craniosynostosis may restrict posterior brain development, particularly involving the cerebellum and occipital lobe, with potential implications for vision and balance. However, due to its rarity, evidence linking lambdoid craniosynostosis to adverse ophthalmo...

A review of silicon-rich biochar for ecological insect pest management through enhanced plant resistance and multi-trophic interactions

Silicon-rich biochar (Sichar) is increasingly evaluated as a functional option in sustainable agriculture by aligning carbon storage pathways with ecological insect pest management frameworks. This review synthesizes the investigated mechanisms through which Sichar modifies plant...

Evaluation of carotid artery stiffness by shear wave elastography in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk and accelerated atherosclerosis secondary to chronic inflammation. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is widely used for vascular assessment; however, arterial stiffness may reflect earlier vascular dysf...

Restoring Citizen Participation in Criminal Justice: Plea Assessment Panels and the Constitutional Crisis of Mass Plea Bargaining

Abstract The modern plea-driven criminal justice system suffers from a deep constitutional legitimacy crisis rooted in pervasive coercion and the near-total displacement of citizen participation. While courts have long accepted mass plea bargaining, they have failed to grapple wi...

Prevalence of Lumbar MRI Changes Associated with Nerve Root Compression Among Middle-aged People - A Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 Study

Study design. A cross-sectional study. Objective. To evaluate the prevalence of lumbar MRI changes associated with nerve root compression in a large, unselected middle-aged population. Summary of Background Data. While degenerative spinal changes are frequently observed in imagin...

False binaries and true fictions: An ethnographic examination of what the Sri Lankan Tamil refugee characters in Shobasakthi's literature reveal about European asylum regimes

Abstract This paper analyses the film and literary works of Paris‐based actor and author Shobasakthi, the pen name of Antonythasan Jesuthasan, as ethnographic texts in dialogue with anthropological scholarship on asylum and European migration. Shobasakthi, himself a Sri Lankan Ta...

CALLY Index and Inflammatory Parameters for Predicting Focal Involvement in Human Brucellosis: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Background: Focal involvement in brucellosis complicates clinical management and increases treatment failure risk. This study evaluated the predictive value of routine inflammatory markers and, for the first time, the C-reactive protein-albumin-lymphocyte (CALLY) index for predic...

Effects of organic solvents on the depth‐of‐cure determination of conventional and bulk‐fill resin composites

This study investigated the influence of organic solvents on the depth of cure (DOC) of resin composites. Two conventional (Filtek Universal [FU] and Beautifil II [BE]) and two bulk-fill (Filtek One Bulk Fill [FO] and Beautifil-Bulk [BB]) composites were evaluated. Cylindrical sp...
