Urinary Biomarkers in Cancer: A Scoping Review
Cancer remains a major global health challenge and a leading cause of mortality worldwide. As incidence continues to rise, early detection remains one of the most effective strategies for improving survival and reducing disease burden. Urine is an attractive source of biomarkers...

Summary The amplitude source location (ASL) method has been widely applied to volcanic earthquakes that do not show clear wave onsets at active volcanoes. To reduce the effects of shallow velocity structures just beneath seismic stations, observed amplitudes are generally correct...

Local scour around monopiles remains a major concern for offshore foundations, and riprap protection is widely used to mitigate scour. However, residual deformation and scour within riprap protection layers may still occur, and their prediction remains less established than conve...

Copper‐Catalyzed C–H Insertion of N ‐Heterocycles Into Diazo Arylidene Succinimides
Copper(II) triflate is found to be an effective catalyst for the regioselective C–H insertion of heteroaromatic compounds into diazo arylidene succinimide‐based carbene precursors. Preferential C3–H insertion occurs in N ‐substituted and unsubstituted indoles, while selective C2–...

Less than a month after the German army invaded Belgium in August 1914, Japan declared war on Germany, joining the First World War on the side of the Entente Powers. Similarly to the West, Japanese humanitarian organisations and charity initiatives actively tried to relieve the d...

Dark Sector Ringing at the Bottom of the Well
The strong-CP problem is read in the geometry of the Euler circle. The QCD vacuum angle theta is a point on a circle, periodic modulo 2pi, and CP conjugation is a reflection across the real axis, theta to -theta, so CP is conserved only at theta = 0 and pi. Measurement places the...

The Conserved Cogito: On Descartes, Self-Presence, and the Now Held Open
This essay places the Cartesian cogito within the metaphysical framework of the Gaitan Topology. Descartes is not treated as an opponent: the Third Meditation already denies that the thinking subject conserves itself and locates its continued existence in dependence upon God. The...

Sediment Bypass Tunnels (SBTs) convey sediment around reservoirs, increasing reservoir lifespan by greatly reducing reservoir sedimentation and, thereby, mitigating consequent loss of reservoir water-storage capacity. To keep SBTs small and economical in cross-section, SBTs conve...

Background For lymphatic filariasis (LF) elimination, the World Health Organization recommends multiple rounds of mass drug administration (MDA) to interrupt transmission. While LF antigen (Ag) is routinely used to monitor progress, recent evidence suggests more time-sensitive in...

Pet-owner synchrony: Operationalization, application, and implications
Abstract Despite the pet industry’s significant economic and social importance, academic attention to this sector of the economy has been limited. Rather than focusing solely on the household demographics of pet ownership or the attitudinal components of the pet-owner relationshi...

A clinically relevant porcine model of flail chest: Development and multimodal validation
BACKGROUND: Flail chest has high mortality, but large-animal models with thoracic anatomy comparable to humans are lacking. The objective of this study was to develop a clinically relevant porcine flail chest model that preserves pleural, pulmonary, and neurovascular integrity, a...

Nitrogen deficiency limits oat growth and productivity, but the molecular basis of contrasting low-nitrogen responses among oat germplasms remains poorly understood. This study compared the low-nitrogen-tolerant germplasm Jiayan No.2 with the low-nitrogen-sensitive germplasm ZNY2...

Artemin, a member of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor family, plays important roles in neuronal processes through GDNF family receptor alpha 3 (GFRα3)-mediated signaling. However, the expression patterns of Artemin and GFRα3 during normal postnatal brain developmen...
