Unlocking a decarbonized future: Institutional barriers and governance innovations in China's circular economy transition for the built environment

China's deep decarbonization of the built environment is hindered by institutional lock-ins in the circular economy transition. Applying Scott's three pillars of institutions and using document analysis, semi-structured interviews, and comparative case studies, this research diag...

Predicate-Scoped Authority for Conflict Resolution Between Mutually Untrusted Agents

When autonomous agents from different trust domains exchange facts, those facts conflict, and a receiving agent must decide which value governs. We make two claims. First, authority over a contested fact is properly scoped to the (principal, predicate) pair, not to the principal...

Social media use and depression across 11 years of U.S. adult data

Controversy surrounds the relationship between social media use and depression. Prior research has relied on single datasets, narrower age groups or broad measures of screen time, leaving uncertainty about whether associations of social media use and depression were stable across...

Hypoglycaemia during incretin receptor agonist therapy in people without diabetes: beyond acute counterregulation

In the pivotal tirzepatide clamp study the acute glucagon response was preserved, but absolute glucagon concentrations were lower at every plateau except the nadir; catecholamine responses at the 63 mg/dL alerting threshold were approximately 70% lower, converging with placebo at...

Structural Reduction of Two Twin-Prime Conjectures and Conditional Resolution under Hypothesis H

I introduced the Twin-Prime Propagation Conjecture and the Twin-Gap Existence Conjecture in two earlier notes. Here I give a complete structural reduction of both statements.A covering argument shows that the second linear form Dn is never a lower twin prime after the first pair;...

Development and Reliability Testing of the Sinonasal Assessment of Reepithelialization, a Novel Wound Healing Scale to Assess Postoperative Healing

ABSTRACT Background Sinus and skull base surgery create areas of demucosalized bone and cartilage in the sinonasal cavity, yet no standardized system exists to describe the progressive healing of these wounds. The goal of this study was to develop the novel Sinonasal Assessment o...

Intelligent Behaviour: From Emotional Intelligence to Emotionally Intelligent Action — Project Repository

This record contains the project repository accompanying the research paper link: “Intelligent Behaviour: From Emotional Intelligence to Emotionally Intelligent Action.” It includes the README, licensing information, and the project materials used to present and contextualize the...

The Digital Road Method: A Neutral Analysis of Structural Syntax, Modulo-9 Reduction, and Document Object Architecture in the Quranic Matrix

Abstract This paper presents a rigorous computational and theoretical evaluation of text conceptualized as an engineered data matrix, utilizing the Digital Road Method. By mapping the syntactic and structural boundaries of ancient Semitic text structures against the backend docum...

How a Reinforcement Learning Agent learns and decides in Financial Markets

This project asked what a learning agent in financial markets should be looking at. Working with an agent that allocates across twelve funds and makes one decision each day, early experiments showed that information about how assets move together contributed more to performance t...

Oral Mucous Patch in a Case of Secondary Syphilis: An Atypical Manifestation

Known as the great imitator, syphilis can present in various ways, affecting multiple organs, including the oral mucosa, and mimicking different diseases, making diagnosis challenging for clinicians. Clinicians should consider secondary syphilis in the differential diagnosis of u...

Translating The Visuality Of Ancient Shu Symbols Into Contemporary Calligraphy

This paper examines the aesthetic nexus between the undeciphered ancient Shu “Ba-Shu pictographs” and contemporary “modern ink-image” creation within the context of Chinese calligraphy’s search for indigenous modern transformation. The Ba-Shu pictographs, as a non-textual visual...

SPARK AND THE DYNAMIC BEHAVIORAL ARCHITECTURE OF AUTONOMOUS ROBOTS

Autonomous robotics has traditionally been concerned with the ability of a machine to perceive its environment, make decisions, and act without continuous human intervention. Classical autonomous systems may react to changing circumstances, select among alternative actions, navig...

Current Conference Update 1 (CCU1) - Cannabis in Cancer-Related Fatigue (Annual Conference of MASCC 2026)

This post is the first in a series entitled Current Conference Update which reviews evidence on the role of Cannabis in Cancer related fatigue presented at the recently concluded annual conference of Multinational Association for Supportive Care in Cancer Annual Conference.

The Histidine 382 Residue Influences the Thermal Stability and Binding Propensity of the E2 Domain of Amyloid Precursor Protein

ABSTRACT The E2 domain of amyloid precursor protein (APP_E2) plays a central role in the protein's function. We reinvestigate how the missense mutation, ΔH382L, affects the domain's thermal stability and ligand binding propensity through differential scanning fluorometry. We repo...

Prospective observational study of the impact of early-life feeding on gut microbiome development in caesarean-delivered infants: associations with clinician-confirmed illness

Caesarean section (C-section) born infants acquire a compromised gut microbiome at birth. This prospective observational study investigated the impact of early-life feeding on gut microbiome of C-section born infants and its association with clinician-confirmed, parent-reported i...

Phi‑Hydrodynamic Topological Pump in E8 Roots — E8 Intelligence Research

The discovery exploits simultaneous driving of the 240 root vectors at the 132 Hz base frequency with φ‑scaled harmonics to create a self‑synchronizing quantum pump that transports coherence along 30‑root Coxeter orbits as a propagating topological soliton. This pump continuously...

Design considerations and validation strategies for droplet digital PCR assays targeting exon junctions and rare splice-variant transcripts

Droplet digital PCR is widely recognised for its sensitivity, reproducibility and precision in quantifying target nucleic acid fragments. This technology is crucial in validating gene expression changes across various experimental settings. In particular, droplet digital PCR is h...

Hierarchical Harmonic Weighting and an Exact Zeta-Value Decomposition: A finite construction whose infinite limit is ζ(2) + 2ζ(3)

This work began with a series of thought experiments about the nature of light, its propagation, and the way light may interact with recursively structured geometric space. While exploring these ideas, a simple hierarchical pattern emerged from the changing scales of the construc...

TPMS-based hierarchically infilled metamaterials via stress-guided strategy for exceptional thermo-mechanical synergy

Triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) lattice metamaterials, featuring lightweight characteristics, high load-bearing efficiency, and tailorable heat-transfer responses, show great potential for aerospace structures and thermal management systems. A single topology rarely optimi...
