Hair cortisol as a marker of physiologic stress in residency training
Hair cortisol analysis allows assessment of long-term cortisol exposure and may provide insight into chronic hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal activation in medical residents and residency on-call responsibilities. To determine the hair cortisol concentration (HCC) representing 3 mo...

Cosmochrony: A Non-Injective Projection Theory of Emergent Physics
Cosmochrony is a pre-geometric relational framework that does not replace quantum mechanics or general relativity, but operates at a deeper structural level from which both emerge as effective descriptions in appropriate regimes. Its aim is to expose the common infra-physical fou...

Background: Diet serves as a modifiable risk factor for cognitive decline, yet evidence on plant-based diets and cognitive ageing remains limited. We examined the association between plant-based diets and cognitive decline.Methods: A total of 6,721 participants from the Chinese L...

The Folman Phase Spine and the Operator-Complete pi/8 Reference-Switch Test
A passive coordinate seam is a negative control, not a physical reference switch. This paper develops a four-channel Gram-ratio test for an A1 reference switch. Its registered fork is simple: \[ H_{\rm std}:R_{\rm Gram}=1, \qquad H_{\rm QTT-A1}:R_{\rm Gram}=\cos\!\left(\frac{\pi}...

Virtual worlds and mental health: A scoping review
<title>Abstract</title> The constant increase in the use of virtual worlds in recent decades has raised concerns about their potential effects on users’ mental health. However, the great heterogeneity of the scientific literature on this topic makes it difficult to identify exist...

The Hypercorrect Nurse:Nurse Joker, Camp, and the Trouble with Getting Care Right
Nurse Joker is hypercorrect at the level of professional legibility, but radically incorrect at the level of care ethics. His performance reveals nursing not as an essence but as a historically gendered, aesthetic, ritualized, and biopolitical arrangement of signs: uniform, mask,...

Background Traditional anatomical assessment of stenosis in right anomalous aortic origin of coronary arteries (R-AAOCA) may not capture the complex, eccentrically shaped lumen and its perimeter-dependent resistance, and may therefore underestimate flow limitation. R-AAOCA involv...

Synthesis of gold nanorod@Pd(Pt)-Cu2O dendritic nanocomposites for plasmon-enhanced photocatalysis
Combining noble metal nanoparticles with electron acceptors, such as semiconductors or non-plasmonic metals, significantly enhances photocatalytic performance. However, optimizing multi-material combinations for superior catalytic efficiency remains challenging. In this study, we...

Neural signatures of major depression across the episodic memory circuitry.
In major depressive disorder (MDD), episodic memory is compromised and linked to hippocampal dysfunction, yet the underlying neural circuitry remains poorly understood. We examined the circuits supporting episodic memory and assessed its MDD-associated anatomical connectivity fin...

The Cardinal Decision Evidence Assessment, Version 1.1
Regulated firms may be unable to rebuild the AI-assisted decisions they have already made, and few know whether they can, because the question is rarely asked until the decision is being contested. This document sets out an applied test for whether they can. Six tests examine whe...

QTT Record-Fan-Out Timing-Envelope Blind Test Preregistration
A sealed timing test can only be judged after the physical reference operator is independently admitted. This preregistration separates ordinary coherent recovery from its independent timing test. The sealed object contains the observable, projector pair, camera, covariance, poin...

The prevailing assumption of a continuous spacetime manifold generates mathematical infinities and necessitates ad-hoc parameterization—notably Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and independent scalar fields. This paper formulates the Topological Lattice Dispersion (TLD) framework, a par...

Closed-Form Pairwise Aircraft Conflict Resolution with First-Order Uncertainty Propagation
This paper presents a closed-form framework for detecting and resolving predicted losses of horizontal separation between two level aircraft. In the relative-velocity plane, the method derives the time and distance of closest approach, the first loss-of-separation time, the compl...
