URecJPQ: memory-efficient multimodal recommendation models through RecJPQ in large-scale scenarios

Abstract Training state-of-the-art recommendation models on large-scale industrial datasets can be a challenging task due to the high number of users and items which are typically represented through ID embeddings. Such embeddings typically require a large amount of memory resour...

Nature and Nurture in a Language Model: Installable Value Fields, Intrinsic Capacity, and the Forward-Consolidation Boundary

Behavioural Friction Theory decomposes the forces that govern a bounded decision system into four cognitive fields — Safety, Meaning, Ability, Effort. Are these fields intrinsic to a substrate, or the generic product of its exposure to experience? This paper uses a large language...

Piloting 3D technologies as a surgical simulation suite for patient-specific cochlear implantation surgeries in pediatrics

Abstract Background: Cochlear implants (CIs) help restore hearing in patients with severe to profound hearing loss. High-fidelity simulation tools may enhance surgical preparedness, patient safety, and training opportunities. This study validates the use of patient-specific 3D mo...

A skeletal–smooth muscle interface mediates levator ani attachment to the rectum and vagina: a macroscopic and histological study

Abstract We aimed to clarify the attachment architecture between the levator ani and the rectum and vagina using integrated macroscopic and histological analyses of human pelvic floor specimens. Macroscopic dissection consistently demonstrated whitish soft tissue at the interface...

Governance Irony: Why Information-Heavy Compliance Directives Mechanically Fail in Large Language Models

Pour the complete rule-set into a system “to be covered” and adherence can collapse: with the relevant rule buried among competing directives, one language model’s compliance fell from 100% to 0% (another from 100% to 60–88%), while a short positive recipe held near 100% — length...

Grid-level source tracing and source variation of sand and dust storm affecting in Beijing

Abstract In recent years, sand and dust storm (SDS) activity in Northern China has shown a notable increasing trend. Fine-scale source apportionment of SDS events affecting Beijing is crucial for understanding the mechanisms behind this increase, facilitating effective desertific...

Fragrant Rice Gains Enhanced 2-Acetyl-1-Pyrroline and Multi-stress Resistance Through a JA-Proline Module Induced by a Rhizopus Fungus

Abstract Rhizosphere microorganisms play crucial roles in regulating crop secondary metabolism and stress adaptation, yet the mechanisms by which they coordinately enhance both 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP) and stress resistance in fragrant rice remain unclear. Here, we report a ne...

The Pali Canon as Protopsychology: Systematic Comparison of Buddhist Practice and Modern Psychological Evidence

The paper is Article 1 of the Pali-Psycho series. It focuses on the empirical and clinical comparison axis: mindfulness, breath meditation, compassion cultivation, absorption states, affect labeling, default-mode-network findings, and selected positive-psychology parallels are tr...

A micronova burst in the intermediate polar IGR J17014-4306

Abstract We report the detection of a short optical burst in TESS data of IGR J17014-4306, the eclipsing intermediate polar with the longest known orbital period. The burst lasts 1.56 d and shows multiple peaks, reaching (9.3 ± 0.2) × 1033 erg s−1, and releases a total energy of...

Meningitis vaccination campaign in the context of COVID-19 in Cameroon

Abstract Objective The study aimed to describe the challenges, best practices, and lessons learned during meningitis vaccination campaigns conducted in the context of COVID-19 in Cameroon in 2020. Results During the prevention campaigns, 3,460 individuals were selected. All were...

Earliest simultaneous multi-color optical observations of GRB 230328B: from 41 seconds to the host-galaxy identification

Abstract We present a multiwavelength study of the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 230328B, combining prompt γ-ray observations with exceptionally early simultaneous optical photometry and extensive X-ray, radio, and host-galaxy follow-up. NUTTELA-TAO began simultaneous g′r′i′...

The Physics of Learning: How Race-Architecture Constraints Explain What We Know About Teaching, Communication, and Understanding

Three of learning science's most robust traditions, cognitive load theory, desirable difficulties, and psychological safety, are each empirically excellent and mechanically thin. This paper argues they are local consequences of one substrate-universal constraint, bounded-capacity...

From Top to Bottom: Manufacturing Process‐Context Aware Resolution of Energy Device Electrodes Through a 3D Diffusion Generative Model

ABSTRACT Optimization of electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices often depends on the electrode microstructure properties, of which its 3D representation provides the most complete link between manufacturing process and device performance. Deep generative models can...

Reactions of Terminal Olefins With Iron Carbenes

ABSTRACT The application of sustainable, earth‐abundant iron complexes to the olefin metathesis of terminal olefins remains a formidable challenge due to competitive, metathesis‐divergent deactivation pathways. Herein, we investigate the reactivity of pincer‐supported iron carben...

100 m resolution projection of future urban heat Island of a tropical Coastal City

Cities face rising heat exposure due to climate change, yet the extent to which urban heat islands (UHI) intensify relative to overall warming remains unclear. This study examines Singapore, a highly urbanised tropical coastal city, focusing on near-surface air temperature (Tas)...

Hidden diversity and complex transmission networks of Taeniidae and Dipylidiidae tapeworms in the Western Balkans revealed by mitochondrial markers

Abstract Background Cestodes of the families Taeniidae and Dipylidiidae constitute a neglected but epidemiologically important group of parasites, including species of veterinary and zoonotic relevance. In the Western Balkans, their molecular epidemiology, host range, and transmi...

Automated alveolar bone and teeth 3D segmentation on the cone-beam computed tomographic images using the convolutional neural network

Abstract Background Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is widely used in dental diagnosis and implant planning. The accurate segmentation of teeth and alveolar bone from CBCT images is essential for precise diagnosis and treatment planning. In this study, we propose two distinc...
