The 120-orders-of-magnitude discrepancy in the estimation of the quantum vacuum energy densityreflects a fundamental disconnect between Quantum Field Theory in flat space and the holographicconstraints imposed by Emergent Gravity. In this paper, we reevaluate the zero-point energ...

Background and Objectives: Identification of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients presenting with a dilated cardiomyopathy phenotype is clinically important because it may influence etiologic classification, prognosis, and subsequent management. However, real-wor...

Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative training without centralizing raw data, yet malicious clients can poison local data or updates and degrade the global model. We present FLVaccin, a hierarchical framework on an unbalanced tree in which every non-root node aggregates a...

Closed-form Caputo gradients in critical-state stress-fractional plasticity have relied on the polynomial Modified Cam-Clay surface. We extend them to the non-polynomial teardrop bounding surface by defining the operator as a Caputo derivative in the logarithm of normalized press...

Carbon pricing is jurisdictional, while proof-of-work cryptocurrency mining is a highly mobile electricity load. We examine whether daily power-sector emissions display a cross-regional and distributional pattern consistent with short-run emissions displacement. Using daily obser...

Cold Phase Hypothesis: A Speculative Model of Sub-Zero States, Spacetime Geometry, and Photon Freezing
- Society & EconomicsOpen access
Affective factors, operationalised in this study as SEL-aligned emotional factors, shape children's participation, social adjustment, and learning in inclusive early childhood classrooms, yet STEM education is still frequently enacted as a primarily cognitive endeavour with socia...

Youth in Detention: Institutional Contexts and Within-Person Change in Psychopathic Traits
Due to many negative effects of institutionalization, adolescents who make contact with the justice system represent a particularly vulnerable population. Justice-involved youth exhibit psychopathic traits at rates higher than the general population. Due to the heterogeneous natu...

WITHDRAWN: A One-Parameter Family of Jacobian Counterexamples Deforming the July 2026 Counterexample
WITHDRAWN (2026-08-21) This note is withdrawn. A reader pointed out, and we have independentlyconfirmed by exact symbolic computation, that the family G(tau) isisotrivial: with s = 1 - 3*tau and J = (J1,J2,J3) denoting the July 2026counterexample, the componentwise identity G(tau...

The role of the N2/H2 reactant gas mixture on nitrogen activation in the Haber–Bosch process
Data, input files, and instructions for reproducing the results reported in the manuscript: “The role ofthe N2/H2 reactant gas mixture on nitrogen activation in the Haber–Bosch process”. Authors: G. M. Bovolenta, M. Parrinello

Wildfire responses of a burrowing mammal were concentrated at burrows rather than nearby habitat
Abstract Background Climate change is increasing the intensity and frequency of wildfires globally. Despite this, the effects of extreme wildfire events on animal species remain poorly understood. Animal responses to wildfire may be concentrated at fine-scale refuge features and...

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP), known as the Asian Water Tower, supplies water to billions of people but is undergoing rapid warming and wetting. Whether this increased moisture stabilizes the regional hydrological system or merely provides a transient buffer remains unclear....

In most multi-arm randomized controlled trials, all participants need to be eligible to be randomized to all the arms. This means some participants are excluded from participating in multi-arm studies. We propose to relax this by considering a 'differential randomization' approac...

Use of the STRYD® Power Meter and Its Metrics in Trained Runners: A Systematic Review
The STRYD® power meter has been used by runners and running coaches in recent years. The data it provides may offer useful information for training monitoring and performance assessment. Accordingly, this systematic review identifies and analyzes the use of the main parameters pr...

Abstract Neuronal classification from extracellular electrophysiological recordings is challenging due to intrinsic waveform variability, noise, and technical differences across experiments, technologies, and species. We introduce HIPPIE (High-dimensional Interpretation of Physio...

Stakeholder agency in humanitarian projects addressing forced displacement
Purpose Humanitarian projects address critical global issues such as poverty, climate change and forced displacement. However, research reveals that many such projects yield limited results when managed through a top-bottom approach. In this research, we investigate how the agenc...

Purpose This case study aims to evaluate the implementation of a strategically targeted assessment-feedback “mechanism” to enhance apprentice satisfaction within business degree apprenticeships (BDAs) in the UK. The study addresses persistent challenges associated with inconsiste...

Co-option of ancestral stem regulators drove recurrent evolution of underground storage organs
Geophytes are plants that produce underground storage organs such as tubers, rhizomes, and bulbs, to facilitate asexual reproduction and withstand a myriad of environmental challenges. While the potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) serves as the primary model for studying tuberization,...

Benzo[ a ]pyrene (BaP) is a widespread environmental pollutant and a representative polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with well-established carcinogenic properties. However, the molecular mechanisms through which BaP promotes renal cell carcinoma (RCC) progression, particularly tho...

Abstract Purpose Compared to neurotypical peers, neurodivergent students experience increased exposure and more intense responses to commonly upsetting events (emotional burden), contributing to poor mental health. Student and staff perspectives offer insights into sources of emo...
