Optimizing the Structural Integrity of Gwapyeon with Red Bull Ⓡ and Enhancing Consumer Acceptability: A Comparison of Corn, Mung Bean, and Potato Starch

Gwapyeon, a traditional Korean fruit starch-based gel, offers a unique matrix for functional food diversification.This study investigated the technical feasibility of incorporating a commercial energy beverage (Red Bull Ⓡ ) into a gwapyeon system and evaluated how the source and...

Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin-6 (SIGLEC6) is increased by hypoxia and inflammation in trophoblasts

Objectives SIGLEC6, a human-specific transmembrane receptor, is highly expressed in placenta. SIGLEC6 is elevated in maternal circulation preceding preeclampsia and in women with preeclampsia, correlating with disease severity. This study aimed to investigate the regulatory mecha...

Incidence and predictors of peripheral intravenous cannula complications among pediatric patients in public hospitals of Gurage zone, Ethiopia: a multicenter prospective cohort study

Peripheral intravenous cannulas are used for administration of medications and fluids in sick children but their use can result in complications. The main aim of this study was to determine the incidence of complications and predictors with peripheral intravenous cannula use in P...

Long-term outcomes of first episode affective psychosis in postpartum women

BACKGROUND: Outcomes of first episode postpartum psychosis and their distinction from outcomes of non-postpartum psychosis are poorly characterised. AIMS: To characterise the disease course and outcomes of first episode postpartum psychosis, compared with first episode non-postpa...

Superselective Neck Dissection in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: a Scoping Review.

In patients with cN0 oral squamous cell carcinoma, does superselective neck dissection provide equivalent oncological outcomes compared with selective neck dissection while reducing morbidity?

Sensor-Driven Situational Awareness for Disaster Responders

Disaster responders frequently operate in environments where information is incomplete, delayed, or inaccessible. This work presents an engineering framework for a distributed sensor system designed to enhance situational awareness for emergency personnel. Drawing on field experi...

Assessing reliability of BERT-based models on question answering tasks

Reliability estimation of large language models is in many cases as crucial as their accuracy, as reliable models are more trustworthy, robust, and suitable for practical applications. Recent advancements in natural language processing (NLP), particularly those based on transform...

Crystalline Information: Information as Ontological Structure

Information is ordinarily said to be in things: contained in books, carried by signals, stored in memories. This paper argues that the metaphor conceals a substantive error. In the ontological register — concerned not with how messages travel but with how a domain becomes articul...

Distributed Mechanistic Interpretability at Scale: Activation Streaming, Split-Layer Inference, and Distributed Sparse Autoencoder Training

ActStream: a two-node system that splits inference and analysis, streams intermediate activations over a binary wire protocol, and trains sparse autoencoders without staging activations to disk. Thunderbolt measured at 2.150 GB/s, 86% of negotiated rate and 26x the LAN path, with...

Efficient Mechanistic Circuit Analysis of Open-Weight LLMs on Apple Silicon

Replication and extension of the GPT-2 Small IOI circuit analysis on Llama-3.2-3B and Pythia-1.4B using an MLX activation-patching harness on a single Apple Silicon machine. Circuits are faithful on the standard single-template dataset (F=0.663 and 0.854) but collapse on a 15-tem...

TopK Sparse Autoencoders Across Three Model Architectures: Dictionary Collapse, Dense-Feature Degeneracy, and the Limits of Activation-Pattern Feature Matching

TopK SAEs trained at matched sparsity and dictionary size on Llama-3.2-3B, Mistral-7B-v0.3 and Qwen2.5-3B. Reports abrupt dictionary collapse with partial recovery, dense-feature degeneracy invalidating frequency-based feature selection, and a null cross-architecture matching res...

Sweet products, subtle residues: neonicotinoid contaminations in commercial honey from Thailand

Abstract Environmental pollution with pesticides, including neonicotinoid insecticides, is a major driver of biodiversity loss and raises concerns for both pollinators and human health. As a product of nectar foraging, honey integrates environmental contamination across large spa...

THE GEOMETRY OF PRIME GAPS: A TOPOLOGICAL BLUEPRINT FOR THE LEGENDRE SCALE

We sketch a structural framework for primes at the critical short-interval exponent $\theta=1/2$ (the Legendre scale), strictly focusing on conditional topological transfers. By leveraging Liquid and Solid modules alongside Clausen's recent Weil-Moore anima, and incorporating S.\...

Integration vs State Update: Architectural Conditions for Consciousness-Relevant Re-Entry

Integration² (I²) proposes that phenomenal consciousness is identical with the recursive loop formed when an integration process takes its own output as input, producing a recursive loop. This raises an immediate question: what distinguishes genuine integration-bearing re-entry f...

From Imperial Communication to Autonomous Script: Two Hypotheses on the Emergence and Social Transformation of West Semitic Writing

What if the first alphabet was not simply invented — but commissioned?This paper explores whether the emergence of early alphabetic writing in the Egyptian sphere may have been connected to the practical needs of imperial administration, military coordination, and control over mu...

A Game-Theoretic Assessment of Optimal Strategies in Artificial Intelligence Competition Between the United States and China

Semiquantitative analysis was done to ascertain the extent of the difference between the United States and China. This paper analyzes the competition between the United States(US) and China in artificial intelligence(AI) and uses game theory to examine its impact on US-China econ...

Universal Birkhoff Method for Computing Extremals in the Elliptic Restricted Three-Body Problem

The computation of finite-thrust extremal arcs in the elliptic restricted three-body trajectory optimization problem is considered. Libration-point orbits are approximated to near-machine precision using a fast Fourier transform of the sampled values of the state vector at Chebys...

Toward Interethnic Peace

General conditions conducive to interethnic peace are examined through the successful experiencesof the post-slavery, multiethnic societies of Réunion and Mauritius. Intimacy, openness to others,and solidarity are identified as key characteristics of Creole societies that facilit...
