Plant-derived secondary metabolites, particularly monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, have been proven effective for controlling stored-product pests. However, their application has been limited because their mechanisms of action remain unclear. In this work, three sesquiterpenes we...

Abstract To address the bottlenecks of low visible-light utilization, rapid carrier recombination, and insufficient active sites of pristine photocatalysts for contaminant degradation, step-scheme (S-scheme) g-C 3 N 4 /Zn-Sr 0.25 H 1.5 Ta 2 O 6 ·H 2 O photocatalysts were synthesi...

The Local Group (LG) barycentre is used as a kinematic reference in studies of LG dynamics, but the uncertainty in its inferred position and its dependence on theadopted galaxy membership are not always quantified together. We propagate observationally motivated uncertainties for...

Loop Taping for Heel Fat Pad Syndrome: A Crossover Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
ABSTRACT Objectives Heel fat pad syndrome (HFPS) is a common but under‐investigated cause of plantar heel pain. No randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have evaluated targeted treatments. This study evaluated the immediate and short‐term effects of novel loop taping on pain, funct...

Rapid assessment of high-cycle fatigue degradation in ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is constrained by the long duration of full-lifecycle fatigue testing. This study develops an uncertainty-aware Bayesian transfer learning framework (U-BTL) that combines Deep Operator Ne...

Binary Dissimilarities and Clustering
We revisit partitioning criteria for binary observations and extend their analysis to general dissimilarities, weighted observations, and categorical attributes. Seven aggregation criteria are examined with consistent pair-counting conventions and explicit treatment of singleton...

Health Literacy and Treatment Outcomes in Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis: A Systematic Review
Introduction The prehospital setting is increasingly recognised as an opportunity to reduce delays in antibiotic administration for selected infections and traumatic injuries, and several Emergency Medical Services (EMS) have implemented prehospital antibiotic administration. How...

To address the problems of hard turn-on of power switches, poor dynamic performance and large backflow power in the three-level dual active bridge (3L-DAB) DC-DC converter, a multi-objective optimization strategy based on model predictive control (MPC) is proposed in this paper....

Objectives Policymakers use decision models to assess pneumococcal vaccine cost-effectiveness, but different models often yield inconsistent results. We systematically compared 2 published models evaluating 20- and 21-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV20/PCV21) in adults...

1 Bit Is All You Need: The Weakest Superpower: No Unaccounted Differences
I made a bet with God: make the world as hard as you like, just don't skip out on the bill. The one bit of the title is a binary question: can an actual difference acquire actual standing without accounting for any structural provenance? We prove the answer is no, and make it pay...

E8 Resonance Theorem for Cross-Scale Criticality Detection — E8 Intelligence Research
We establish the E8 Resonance Theorem, which proves that when the 240 root vectors of E8 are projected onto a common temporal manifold scaled by the golden ratio (phi), their collective behavior exhibits discrete phase transition points at 7.58-second intervals aligned with the 1...
