Beyond Surface Catalysis: Dynamic Cation‐Regulated Interfacial Water Gating for Aqueous Polysulfide Electrochemistry

ABSTRACT Aqueous sulfur electrochemistry holds great promise for high‐energy density storage but is currently constrained by sluggish redox kinetics and severe polarization. Despite extensive efforts in catalyst design to enhance polysulfide adsorption, kinetic improvements have...

Branching Out: How Constitutional Isomerism Influences Volatility in Butyl Acetates

This project investigates how molecular branching affects the evaporation rate (volatility) of butyl acetate isomers used in fragrances. By analysing published chemical data, I compared linear and branched structures. The results proved that increased branching lowers boiling poi...

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...

The Reflexive Path-Law Framework: Unpredictability, Identification, and Market Equilibrium

Return unpredictability is an observational property relative to a filtration, horizon, target, loss, and strategy class; it does not by itself establish correct valuation, no-arbitrage, net non-exploitability, causal exogeneity, or dynamic stability. This paper develops the Refl...

A cardiovascular-motor axis framework for perfusion-mediated motor impairment

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, and among survivors of heart failure, peripheral arterial disease, valvular disease, and atrial fibrillation many develop motor impairment: weakness, slow gait, sarcopenia, frailty. These deficits are usually attribu...

From lay to scientific cognition: the case of pre-evolutionary homologies

Continuity views of the relation between lay and scientific cognition hold that the basic cognitive abilities of scientists are not much different from those of laypeople. Recent psychological studies revealed strong candidate examples of continuity, involving lay visual cognitio...

P1.185. Health-Related Quality of Life After Robot-Assisted Versus Thoracoscopic Esophagectomy: A Secondary Analysis From the Multicenter RAMIE Trial

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Surgical Treatment of Esophageal Cancer Background The comparative effects of robot-assisted and thoracoscopic esophagectomy on postoperative health-related quality of life (HRQOL) are not well defined. Here, we sought to assess patient-reported...

From Algorithmic Fragmentation to the Narrative Construction of the Self

This theoretical study extends the model previously developed in Dynamique de la conscience et fragmentation du temps vécu face aux dispositifs algorithmiques (Ben Mabrouk, 2026) by examining the consequences of algorithmically induced fragmentation on autobiographical memory and...

Statewide Empirical Analysis of Asphalt Pavement Performance and Service Life at Intersections

Abstract Intersections are consistently found to be among the most critical locations for pavement deterioration, yet large-scale empirical evidence quantifying their relationship with deterioration remains limited. This research conducts a comprehensive statewide empirical inves...

P1.243. Bi-Cavity Esophagectomy With Supra-Aortic Reconstruction (BEAR): A Novel Approach to Esophagectomy

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Surgical Treatment of Esophageal Cancer – technique Background Due to its reduced incisional burden minimally-invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (MIE) is an emerging standard of care, though it remains a long operation with high morbidity. Left th...

SKY-GOV: A Knowledge-Constrained Decision-Intelligence System for Risk-Adaptive Human Oversight of Autonomous Drone Fleets

Autonomous drone fleets require a defensible rule for deciding when automated monitoring is sufficient and when scarce human attention must be escalated. This study proposes SKY-GOV, a knowledge-constrained selective decision-intelligence layer that converts multivariate mission-...

A reinforcement learning-driven adaptive hybrid PLC-RF communication architecture for IoT-based smart metering systems

Abstract With the rapid expansion of smart grid infrastructure, robust and scalable communication is essential to support Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). This paper presents a hybrid communication architecture that combines Power Line Communication (PLC) and Radio Frequen...

Discovery–Closure Adaptive Search: Cost-Normalized Structural Resource Allocation for Constrained Black-Box Optimization

Constrained black-box optimization increasingly combines feasibility management, adaptive search, and learned operator scheduling, making simple hybridization an insufficient novelty claim. This paper develops Discovery–Closure Adaptive Search (DCAS), which treats optimization as...

Solar thermal heating through a mechanical ventilation unit with heat recovery: energy performance, economic evaluation, and life-cycle assessment in a building-scale case study

Ensuring adequate fresh air supply while limiting heat losses remains a challenge in low-energy buildings. This study assesses an integrated system combining solar thermal collectors with mechanical ventilation and heat recovery to reduce space-heating demand while maintaining in...

Convenient Determination of Trace Methylcyclosiloxanes in Water by Vortex‐Assisted Small‐Scale Liquid–Liquid Extraction and GC–MS Analysis

ABSTRACT Rationale Volatile methylcyclosiloxanes, particularly octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4), decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5), and dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane (D6), are commonly found in the environment and have gained significant attention as emerging contaminants. Howev...

Laser Micropatterning of Archival Gold CDs: A Maskless Route to Low‑Cost Microelectrode Arrays and Beyond

ABSTRACT Archival gold compact discs provide a nanometrically smooth, clean, and highly conductive thin‐film gold surface—an exceptionally low‐cost alternative to gold‐coated silicon wafers—and thus an unexplored platform for next‐generation microdevices. Here, we introduce this...
