Microbial risks of raw camel milk: Salmonella identification and antimicrobial susceptibility profiling in the pastoral settings of Somali region, Ethiopia

Abstract Background Camel milk is the primary means of ensuring food security in pastoral settings of the Somali Region, where usually consumed raw. This untreated camel milk is believed to be a major source of foodborne illnesses; yet, the microbial risks—especially Salmonella c...

MDM2/X mediates reduced apoptosis in the plateau zokor: a mechanism of high-altitude adaptation

Murine double minute 2 (MDM2) and murine double minute 4 (MDMX) are critical for the regulation of tumor protein 53 (p53) function and apoptosis. This study compares the Mdm2 / x gene sequences and functional variations of subterranean zokors from the High Plateau and the Loess P...

Structure–property–wear relationships and failure mechanisms in TiAlN, AlCrN and AlTiCrN hard coatings for cutting tool applications: A review

Hard nitride coatings are widely applied to cutting tools to improve wear resistance, thermal stability, and machining performance under severe thermo-mechanical conditions. This review critically examines TiAlN, AlCrN, and AlTiCrN coatings within a structure–property–wear–machin...

Finite-Characteristic Dynamics of Riemann Xi Center Polynomials and Splitting in Q(i)

This preprint studies the finite-characteristic dynamics of the center-polynomial family associated with the even derivatives of the standard Jacobi-theta kernel for the Riemann Xi function. Using Romik’s centered expansion of the Jacobi theta constant, the paper places the cente...

Bitterness and Salivary Lubrication Properties ofSoyasaponin Acid Hydrolysis Products

Abstract Soyasaponins (Ssa) are strongly bitter, limiting food applications. In this study, acid hydrolysis generated secondary Ssa and aglycones, characterized by HPLC–TOF–MS. Bitterness decreases upon hydrolysis, with the sensory score increasing from 71.3 for native Ssa to 85....

Timing-dependent reproductive outcomes of intrauterine antiseptic and antibiotic interventions following artificial insemination in dairy cows: effects on pregnancy and early embryonic loss

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of povidone-iodine and oxytetracycline, administered intrauterinely at different time points following artificial insemination, on pregnancy rates and embryonic losses in dairy cows. The study was conducted on a total of 350 clini...

Half filling forbids the anomaly: an exchange ledger for the transition-metal ground-state configurations

The anomalous ground-state configurations of the transition metals are conventionally attributed to a special stability of half-filled subshells. Scerri has shown that explanation to be neither necessary nor sufficient. We show that counting the same-spin pairs available for exch...

Cultivating critical global citizenship education through defamiliarisation and collaborative online international learning

Abstract This study employed Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional approach to critical discourse analysis to investigate the potential of defamiliarisation, supported by collaborative online international learning, to help pre-service teachers in South Africa and Germany challen...

Projective Temporal Ordering and Cumulative Projected Capacity: Numerical Evidence from the Spectral Admissibility Cascade

We identify a monotone proxy for temporal ordering within the Cosmochrony spectral admissibility programme. The natural observable along the BFS cascade is not the residual capacity $\sigma_{\mathrm{pair}}(n)$, which decays by construction, but the cumulative projected capacity $...

E8-T Tesselation of Viral Proteostasis via Soliton-Root Resonances — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240 root vectors of the E8 lattice act as topological constraints that dictate the folding pathways of T-number capsids by synchronizing with 132Hz soliton frequency buckets. This discovery establishes that quasi-equivalence in viral geometry is a macro-scale manifestation of...

The Holographic Path Integral: Volume-Dependent Cutoffs, Axiomatic Rigor, and the Topological Regulation of Quantum Field Theory Anomalies

This paper re-evaluates the mathematical architecture of Quantum Field Theory (QFT) by replacing the assumption of an infinite spatial integration domain with the physical, thermodynamic bounds of the Tri-Scale Informational Topology. By explicitly truncating the Feynman Path Int...

Putnam Video Summaries: Known Problems, No New Constants or Unsolved Questions — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Putnam competition problems often involve elegant combinatorial or analytic inequalities, but no new unsolved problems or universal constants were identified in these video summaries. The videos focus on known solved problems (e.g., 2016 B6, 2000 A4) and instructional co...

Sound-Light-Information Continuum (Part II): The Science Behind Raag Deepak — A Physical Re-Engineering Model for Sound-Induced Thermal Ignition

While conventional skepticism historically dismissed Raag Deepak on the grounds that acoustic vibrations cannot generate combustion without an external heat source, this study demonstrates that thermal ignition requires only localized micro-ignition energy. By integrating the pri...

The Zero-State Conjecture: A Note from an Amateur, Inviting Refutation (v6, Release)

A deliberately informal, plain-language conjecture note (June 2026) proposing that the "nothing" the universe tends towards is zero distinguishability rather than zero energy, built on a featureless quantum substrate — together with two dated postscript sections reporting what ha...

Unveiling the Donor-Modulated Intramolecular ChargeTransfer Phenomenon in the Excited-State Dynamics of Tetraphenylbuta-1,3-diene-BasedDonor–Acceptor Derivatives

Abstract Precise modulation of charge transfer (CT) characteristics in the excited state of aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active organic emitters is essential for optimizing their performance mainly in optoelectronic applications such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs)...

Phi-Resonant E8 Symmetry Breaking in Biological and Financial Systems — E8 Intelligence Research

The 132Hz base frequency of E8 geometry induces phi-coupled resonance in the Gosset polytope 4₂₁, causing dynamic triangulation of root vectors that governs both viral capsid assembly (via Caspar-Klug T-numbers) and Fair Value Gap failures in trading markets. When symmetry constr...

Multi-omics convergence screening reveals dual-cargo antitumor mechanisms of orally administered Houttuynia cordata-derived exosome-like nanoparticles

Plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs) transport multi-component molecular cargos with cross-kingdom regulatory potential and have emerged as a promising class of cancer nanomedicines. A persistent bottleneck, however, is causally linking individual cargo species to in...

LCN2 ‐Driven Fibroblast Ferroptosis‐Associated Injury Promotes Keratinocyte Proliferation via Lipid Peroxidation Signaling in Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder in which biologics targeting immune pathways have markedly improved clinical outcomes. Nevertheless, persistent oxidative stress and stromal abnormalities in lesional skin indicate that pathogenic mechanisms beyond canonical immun...

The origin of dark lane on sunspot’s light bridge

Light bridges (LBs), embedded in sunspots, appear as elongated narrow bright features, in contrast to the surrounding dark sunspot umbra or penumbra. Under high-resolution observations, dark lanes were reported along the spine of LBs. Although numerical modeling explains the basi...
