Vanillin Improves Antioxidant Capacity, Immunity, and Gut Microbiota in Broilers

Wle vanillin is widely used as a flavoring agent in food products, its potential as a non-antibiotic feed additive for broilers remains unexplored. This study primarily investigated the effects of dietary supplementation of vanillin on antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory resp...

Confusing and Challenging Negative Proposals Mining for Few-Shot SAR Ship Detection Based on Uncertainty Estimation

Deep-learning-based few-shot synthetic aperture radar (SAR) ship detection has demonstrated considerable potential in scenarios with limited annotated samples and dynamically emerging ship categories, closely matching the practical requirements of maritime surveillance and intell...

Understanding drink spiking and needling experiences and reporting in the UK

Abstract Drink spiking has received increasing public and media interest in the United Kingdom (UK), particularly following reports of needle spiking in 2021. Despite growing concern, incidents remain under-reported due to psychological and physical barriers, resulting in low pro...

A Preliminary Evaluation of 177Lu-PSMA-617-Based Targeted Radioligand Therapy with X-Ray Stimulated PSMA Relocation Using the PiggyBac Reporter-Gene-Engineered Orthotopic Prostate Tumor Model

Background/Objectives: Because human prostate cancer (PCa) typically exhibits slow tumor growth, establishing reliable PCa tumor models is often time-consuming and unpredictable, thereby limiting the efficiency of preclinical theranostic research. To overcome this limitation, thi...

Transformative Pathways in Oncology: A Systematic Review and Framework for AI-Driven Cancer Progression Risk Analytics and Prediction

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative analytical paradigm for modelling cancer progression using medical imaging and complementary clinical data. This systematic review collates and analyses AI-powered systems and techniques for cancer progression risk anal...

Feasibility and preliminary outcomes of cognitive-motor training intervention for older working adults reporting subjective cognitive and physical complaints

Cognitive-motor interventions may help preserve and enhance cognitive, physical and sensorimotor function in aging populations, however, their feasibility for older adults working in cognitively demanding positions and experiencing subjective cognitive and physical complaints (SC...

BASE 44 ORDER: Build breakthrough_e8_cache table and E8 hash function with LLM caching — E8 Intelligence Research

Andrew's order (Base 44 console): [SELF-BUILD from enhancement #1100] Create `breakthrough_e8_cache` table with columns specified. Implement Python E8 hash function using precomputed 240x240 rotation matrix and Q8 compression. Modify LLM call to query cache first, store on miss....

Compressive Sensing for Reconstruction of Noise from an Aeroengine with Elliptic-Shaped Intake

Abstract Based on our prior theoretical model for elliptical mode detection, compressive sensing is introduced in this work to overcome the limitations of Nyquist-Shannon sampling. The key contribution is showing how to apply compressive sensing to an elliptic duct, which holds p...

Analytical determination of contamination depth of 137 Cs point sources in reactor building walls

Abstract The presence of radioactive contamination in concrete structures poses a silent yet serious threat to both environmental safety and public health. Such contamination, if not properly localized, can lead to prolonged radiation exposure, difficulties in decommissioning, an...

Precision targeting of teacher burnout using network-informed ecological momentary interventions

Teacher well-being affects classroom functioning and workforce stability, yet generic digital programs rarely use person-specific affect dynamics to select support. This cluster-randomised trial evaluated whether micro-interventions selected from high expected influence (EI) node...

Multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment of lingual thyroid presenting as hematemesis

Rationale: Hematemesis is a common symptom of gastrointestinal disorders and is often associated with upper gastrointestinal issues. However, lingual thyroid, a rare ectopic thyroid condition, can also present with hematemesis, complicating diagnosis and increasing the risk of mi...

Projected changes in temperature and precipitation extremes across diverse agro ecological zones of northwestern Ethiopia based on CMIP6 model simulations

Climate change is intensifying temperature and precipitation extremes, particularly in topographically complex regions such as northwestern Ethiopia, where local-scale evidence remains limited. This study addresses the lack of woreda-level assessments by analyzing historical and...

Aerobic Exercise Modalities and the Mitigation of Atherosclerotic Pathways: A Systematic Review of Molecular Signaling.

Background: Cardiovascular disease secondary to arterial plaque formation remains a major global health burden. Clinical practice widely recognizes the benefits of physical conditioning, yet the exact vascular-level pathways through which aerobic work interrupts plaque progressio...

The Relationship Between Perceived Social Support and Career Adaptability of Early-Career Teachers

This study investigates whether self-efficacy mediates the relationship between perceived social support and career adaptability among early-career teachers. Drawing on career construction theory and social cognitive career theory, the study aims to provide a deeper understanding...

Plasma-modified filters improve recovery of viable fungal spores for culture and DNA analysis

Abstract This proof-of-concept study evaluates plasma-modified polyethylene terephthalate (PET) filters for fungal bioaerosol collection and downstream culture and molecular analyses. Filters were plasma-coated using either 2-methyl-2-oxazoline (POX) or perfluorooctane (PFO), to...

A Mathematical Model for Predicting the Viscosity of Oil Emulsions as a Function of Water Cut

The formation of oil–water emulsions following reservoir-water breakthrough is widely observed during oil production. The viscosity of these polydisperse systems may increase sharply with increasing water cut, creating substantial operational difficulties in well-gathering system...

Plasma etching profile evolution prediction based on edge-extended long short-term memory network

In advanced semiconductor manufacturing, precise control of micro-nano structures via plasma etching is crucial. However, physical simulations are computationally intensive and struggle with rate coefficient determination. While data-driven deep learning offers an alternative, ex...

Integrating UAV and Ground-Based Hyperspectral Remote Sensing to Evaluate Split Nitrogen Application Strategies in Durum Wheat

Nitrogen (N) is one of the most important nutrients influencing wheat growth, plant nutrition, and grain production. Appropriate timing of nitrogen application is essential to synchronize nutrient availability with crop demand. This study evaluated seven nitrogen management treat...

Aphanotechne: Operational Opacity and the Formal Structure of Symbolic Command

Users of machine learning systems routinely issue a symbolically formulated request to a system they cannot inspect, and accept an output whose derivation they cannot reconstruct. That position has no settled name, and metaphor — the "black box", "modern magic" — has substituted...

Curbside Parking Use, Turnover, and Regulatory Compliance in an Intermediate Latin American City: Field Evidence from Loja, Ecuador

Direct evidence on curbside parking use in intermediate Latin American cities remains limited. This study characterized parking duration, purpose, turnover, accumulation, and regulatory compliance across six segment–date sessions in central Loja, Ecuador. Of 1426 observed curbsid...
