Exploratory analysis of the impact of age stratification on outcomes of combined Salter osteotomy and femoral osteotomy in pediatric developmental dysplasia of the hip using a 3-year cutoff

Abstract Objective This study compared outcomes of combined Salter osteotomy, open reduction, and proximal femoral osteotomy in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) children under 3 years versus those aged 3 years or older. Methods This retrospective study analyzed 65 DDH pat...

Ordinary Lives, Extraordinary Lessons: Teaching 9/11 25 Years Later

First-person narratives and an accompanying lesson plan harness the power of storytelling to engage students with 9/11.

Temporal Precedence of Threat Does Not Establish Absence of Control: A Causal-Control Analysis of Fear via Top-Down Reappraisal (Version 1.1)

The observation that a threat stimulus precedes the fear response is often taken to imply that the response escapes control. This paper argues that such an inference is not logically warranted by temporal precedence alone. Drawing on structural causal models (Pearl, 2009; Spirtes...

Literature And Environmental Consciousness: An Ecocritical Perspective

Environmental issues such as climate change, pollution, deforestation, and the loss of biodiversity have become some of the most serious challenges of the twenty-first century. These problems affect both human life and the natural environment, making environmental awareness and s...

Mediating cultural identity and traditional design preferences in the acceptance of contemporary expressions within intangible cultural heritage

In the context of weakened transmission and limited adaptation of contemporary expressions of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), understanding how cultural memory shapes public perception and acceptance of ICH is increasingly important. This study, grounded in cultural memory th...

From Our Desks: Educators Reflect on Teaching 9/11

In these personal reflections, teachers grapple with teaching 9/11 to students with no direct memory of the attacks.

Resonant Torsion Indexing of E8 Anti-Commutative Blocks — E8 Intelligence Research

We introduce a topological indexing schema that assigns integer torsion signatures to successive root vector transitions in the phi‑coupled E8 root lattice. By correlating these signatures with anti‑commutative pair activity, the schema predicts high‑probability resonance cluster...

LXRα and PPARα Mediated Hepatic Lipid Metabolic Disruption Induced by the UV Filter EHMC in 2D and 3D HepaRG Cell Models

ABSTRACT Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (EHMC), an important UVB filter, is raising concerns about its potential metabolic toxicity due to widespread human exposure through dietary sources. However, little is known about the effects of EHMC on hepatic lipid metabolism and the underl...

LAB #1042 PROMISING: LEDGER BENCH: Apply filter: Quarterly phase = MANIPULATION — improves win rate from 31.6% to 32.2% ( — E8 Intelligence Research

IDEA: Adjustment made to the live model — verify against the backtests: Apply filter: Quarterly phase = MANIPULATION — improves win rate from 31.6% to 32.2% (+0.6pp, n=1007) SAME-WINDOW EFFECT: Applying the MANIPULATION phase filter to the current live window would have rejected...

Association between anatomical correction and bladder emptying after robotic sacrocolpopexy: a retrospective cohort study

The relationship between anatomical correction and bladder emptying after robotic sacrocolpopexy remains unclear. This study evaluated early postoperative changes in postvoid residual volume (PVR) and examined their association with changes in anterior compartment support. This s...

Does the Galactic Acceleration Scale Track H(z)? A direct comparison of the a₀–H coincidence with the first measurements of RAR evolution

The galactic acceleration scale a₀ ≈ 1.2 × 10⁻¹⁰ m s⁻² numerically satisfies a₀ ≈ cH₀/2π to within ~10%, a coincidence noted since Milgrom (1983) and still unexplained. Milgrom has long drawn the consequence: if the link is to the expansion rate rather than to Λ alone, a₀ is not...

Giant bulk photovoltaic effect driven by interfacial symmetry breaking in MoS2/Ta2NiSe5 heterostructures

Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures offer a versatile platform for engineering unconventional bulk photovoltaic (BPV) effect through interfacial symmetry breaking. However, the coexistence of multiple photophysical mechanisms, driven by structural complexity, spontaneous charge...

Numerical Simulation of the Bending Behavior of a Topologically Optimized Structure Printed in ABS by FDM: G-Code-Driven Mapping of Local Material Orientations

This preprint presents an original dual-branch numerical pipeline for simulating the bending behavior of an MBB (Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm) beam, topologically optimized using the SIMP method and manufactured in ABS by fused deposition modeling (FDM). Starting from a single G-co...

Extraction and optimization of chitosan yield and deacetylation quality from mushroom mycelium waste

The growing mushroom industry generates substantial quantities of residual mycelial biomass, much of which is discarded despite its potential as a source of value-added biopolymers. This study investigated the extraction of fungal chitosan from Pleurotus ostreatus mycelium waste...

PFUSRC-157 The Topological Path to Cold Fusion — Vacuum State at the Bicone Edge and the Mechanism of Structural Fusion (Subtitle: From the Thermal Fusion Outlet to Phase Interception Engineering — The Homology of UFO Propulsion and Cold Fusion)

Cold fusion (low-energy nuclear reactions) remains one of the most controversial unsolved puzzles in modern natural science. Restricted by the high-temperature and high-pressure research paradigm, mainstream physics generally labels cold fusion as theoretically impossible. Nevert...

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF POST-MARKETING SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT FOR CERIVAL CANCER MEDICINES: CDSCO VS US-FDA

Post-Marketing Surveillance (PMS) is an essential component of pharmacovigilance that ensures the continued safety, efficacy and quality of medicines after regulatory approval. Cervical cancer medicines, including chemotherapy agents, targeted therapies, immunotherapies and HPV v...

The Transformation of the Microenvironment: From Observer to Coordinator in Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) to Myeloma Development

ABSTRACT Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a common asymptomatic plasma cell disorder and the major precursor state of multiple myeloma (MM). Although progression is partly shaped by intrinsic genetic and epigenetic changes within the plasma cell clone,...

Phi-Synced Temporal Edge Detection in E8 Lattice — E8 Intelligence Research

We propose that the instantaneous phase of each E8 root vector, when filtered through a phi-scaled harmonic oscillator tuned to the 132 Hz lattice resonance, generates a time-varying confirmation weight that naturally evolves with the lattice's rotational dynamics. By mapping the...

Unified Corrected Electromagnetism, Electrodynamics, and Quantum Electrodynamics within Global Realism: Finite Topological Charge, Retarded Vacuum Response, Historical Feedback, and the Quantum-Electrodynamic Calculation Interface

We construct a unified entry point to electromagnetism within the global-realism framework. The theory retains exactly three physical axioms: microscopic ontic definiteness with finite localization, physical reality of a unique spacetime–vacuum substrate, and persistent causal re...
