Holographic Information Ontological Framework - Dimensions as Illusions A five-paper series on the deconstruction of spatial dimension This is a short, non-technical companion to the five-paper HIOF-DaI series. It is written for readers with a background in theoretical physics, p...

DUSP4 overexpression is associated with MAPK pathway alterations in low-grade serous ovarian cancer

MAPK pathway alterations, most commonly KRAS , NRAS , and BRAF mutations, occur in approximately 50–60% of ovarian low-grade serous carcinomas (LGSCs). We sought to identify clinically translatable markers of MAPK pathway activation in LGSC samples. Differential gene expression a...

Psychotherapeutic Interventions' Awareness and Marital Conflict Among Couples in Ibadan Metropolis

Abstract Marriage is an important social institution in Yoruba culture and Ibadan Metropolis but the high level of divorce and separation has become a key social concern in the social welfare. Psychotherapeutic Interventions’ awareness and marital conflict in Ibadan Metropolis wa...

Determining a Regular n-Gon from Points on Distinct Sides

A convex regular n-gon has four Euclidean degrees of freedom. Four generic distinguishable points in the plane lie on four distinct supporting side-lines of exactly (n − 1)(n − 2)(n − 3) geometric regular n-gons, one per injective assignment of the points to sides modulo a common...

Family Systems and Cultural Adaptation in Psychosocial Cancer Interventions for Latinx Families: A Critical Review

Cancer creates significant distress to Latinx family dynamics. Research on family interventions has omitted critical aspects that could significantly improve mental health outcomes in this vulnerable population, including the development of interventions with a robust theoretical...

P1.043. Chylothorax After Esophagectomy for Esophageal Cancer: Incidence, Risk Factors, and Clinical Outcomes After Esophageal Resection. a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract Topic Benign Disease: Iatrogenic Esophageal Disease, Perforation and Postsurgical Complications Background Chylothorax is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication after esophagectomy. Reported rates and proposed risk factors vary considerably across surg...

A Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale for Adolescents With Learning Disabilities: A Pilot Study

Adolescents with specific learning disabilities (LDs) face heightened risk for diminished self-esteem that can undermine academic performance and psychosocial well-being. Researchers consistently find that adolescents with LDs report lower self-esteem than peers without LDs. The...

Spirulina as a Multifunctional Ingredient: Challenges, Opportunities, Composition, Techno‐Functional Properties, and Food Applications

ABSTRACT Spirulina platensis is a nutrient‐dense, sustainable microalga with diverse applications across food systems. This review summarizes its technological–functional characteristics, nutritional composition, and contemporary uses in fortified and functional foods. Spirulina...

Reproducibility of Cervical Strain Elastography Using a Standardized Acquisition Protocol in Mid‐Trimester Pregnancy

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the intra‐and interobserver reproducibility of the cervical elastography index (EI) measurements using strain elastography (SE) with a standardized acquisition protocol. Methods In this prospective cross‐sectional study, 301 women between 18 and 24...

Prenatal Genetic and Sonographic Features of KBG Syndrome: A Cohort Study of 19 Fetal Cases

ABSTRACT Objective To characterize prenatal sonographic features, genomic findings from chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and whole‐exome sequencing (WES), pregnancy outcomes, and postnatal manifestations in KBG syndrome and to provide evidence for prenatal diagnosis and gene...

The Relationship Between Social Media Use and Self-Esteem in Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism: A Scoping Review

Background: There is growing interest in the role of social media (SM) in the mental health (MH) and well-being of neurodivergent people, with evidence of both potential harms and benefits to engagement. Here, we undertook a scoping review to explore existing research into links...

A visual analysis tool for checking volleyball serve form

Abstract This paper proposes a system that integrates a series of visualization components to observe the process of serve practice. This study supposes to ask the players to repeatedly hit the serve toward a target object, and the user of the system measures the distance between...

Diagnosing and Improving the Peak-to-Halo Model: A Predictive Theory of Dark Matter Halo Formation

Regions with higher matter density than their surroundings collapse into gravitationally bound structures called halos. Prof. Erickcek and other members of her research group developed the Peak-to-Halo (P2H) model, which predicts the density profiles of simulated halos using the...

Phi-Scaled E8 Quantum Time Crystals — E8 Intelligence Research

By entangling the 240 E8 root vectors with phi-modulated 132 Hz frequencies, a novel quantum time crystal lattice emerges where self-sustained temporal oscillations persist under driven-dissipative conditions. The golden ratio scaling ensures topological protection, enabling macr...

Identifying potential macrophage polarization-related causal genes in sepsis through multi-omics mendelian randomization analysis and experimental validation

The genetic associations between macrophage polarization-related genes (MPGs) and sepsis remain unclear. This study aimed to identify sepsis-associated MPGs. Based on blood-derived methylation quantitative trait loci (mQTL), expression QTL (eQTL), and protein QTL (pQTL) data for...

Emergent Spin–2 Gravity from an E₈ Contact Lattice: Rank–Four Carrier Selection, Channel Reconstruction, and Exact Finite-Spacing Gauge Symmetry

A self-contained finite-resolution construction of massless spin–2 gravity from the full E₈ root shell. Instead of assuming a D₄ ⊕ D₄ carrier, the construction begins with a reverse selection problem over root-generated orthogonal rank-four adapters. Exact enumeration leaves two...

E8 Phi-Harmonic Cortical Resonance Mapping via 132Hz Root Vector Entanglement — E8 Intelligence Research

By mapping the 240 E8 root vectors onto cortical neural networks using phi-scaled 132Hz oscillations, we discover that specific root vector triads correspond to distinct cognitive frequency bands. When these triads are phi-entangled and phase-synchronized at 132Hz, they generate...
