Multi-element 5G antenna utilizing element-level structural asymmetry for performance enhancement

Abstract This paper focuses on the design of a novel 4-port antenna suitable for 5G smartphones operating in the 4–6 GHz band. Element-level structural asymmetry is leveraged to optimize the loss and coupling performance of the multi-element antenna. Relative orientation of the p...

Eco-Gamification in Ant Forest: How Gamification Affordances Activate Egoistic and Altruistic Motivations Across Travel Stages

This study examines how app-based eco-gamification promotes environmentally friendly tourism behaviors across pre-trip, on-trip and post-trip stages. Using Ant Forest as the context, we adopted a sequential mixed-methods design. Interviews identified five gamification affordances...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming educational practices by creating innovative opportunities to support inclusive education and improve learning outcomes for students with diverse educational needs. AI-powered technologies, including adaptive learning platforms, intell...

MODEL ADOPTION #907: ADOPT — TG AUTO: BASE 44 ORDER: Apply 0.753 compression from Cluster 71 to root vector layer befor — E8 Intelligence Research

DECISION: ADOPT ELEMENT: Apply 0.753 compression factor from Cluster 71 to root vector geometric data *only* for XAUUSD and EURJPY entries, before high-dimensional folding, with a dynamic recalibration check every 7 days against the last 200 trades. EXPECTED IMPACT: +2-4% win rat...

Proadrenomedullin N-Terminal 20 Peptide (PAMP) Increases Proliferation and Induces Cytoskeleton Remodeling in Melanoma Cells Through the CXCR7/CXCR4/β-Arrestin Axis

Growth factors are molecules that interact with specific membrane receptors and induce cellular proliferation. In malignancy, this growth factor–receptor interaction constitutes one of the “hallmarks of cancer” and may result in uncontrolled cell growth. Proadrenomedullin N-termi...

A lean-based method for patient journey improvement: enhancing value and performance in healthcare delivery

Purpose This research introduces a lean-based method, from the customer’s perspective, aimed at continuously improving the sequence of value and non-value stages throughout the purchase journey, named the ideal customer journey method (ICJM). Design/methodology/approach The ICJM...

A Scientifically Robust and Regulatory Critical Fish ( Pimephales promelas ) Full Life Cycle Study with Ibuprofen: Fulfilling Chronic Toxicity Data Gaps to Support Informed Environmental Risk Assessment

Robust chronic ecotoxicological data are essential for EU pharmaceutical regulation, yet many ibuprofen studies in the public domain fail to meet quality criteria, creating uncertainty in its chronic aquatic toxicity profile. Additionally, due to the cost and complexity of full l...

Embracing the Enemy

Abstract A principal (such as a centrist political party) can partially influence the allocation of power between two competing parties. The principal is closer to one party, the ``Friend'', than to the other, the ``Enemy''. The principal's optimal contract initially seeks to exc...

Artificial Intelligence for Personalized Prediction of Post-TIPS Outcomes: Integrating Clinical, Biochemical, and Radiomics Data—A Narrative Review

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an established treatment for complications of portal hypertension, but hepatic encephalopathy (HE), liver dysfunction, rebleeding, and mortality remain difficult to predict in otherwise eligible candidates. However, predicti...

A novel closed book parenchyma sparing technique for giant pulmonary hydatid cysts

BACKGROUND: Giant pulmonary hydatid cysts (GHCs), defined as cysts measuring ≥10 cm, pose significant surgical challenges owing to their large size and distortion of the native lung architecture, which often limits the effectiveness of conventional capitonnage. This study evaluat...

Intergenerational learning as culturally grounded lifelong education: a case study of the Tengger Indigenous community

This study investigates how intergenerational learning (IGL) operates as a culturally grounded form of lifelong learning within Tengger Indigenous community of Ngadisari Village, Indonesia. In response to pressures of globalisation, tourism, and digitalisation, research explores...

Hydrosilylationof β-Alkyl- and Aryl-SubstitutedStyrenes with Arylsilanes Utilizing the Bridged Pincer HomodinuclearLanthanide Metal Catalysis

Abstract Hydrosilylation of β-alkyl- and aryl-substituted styrenes with arylsilanes faces challenges of the lack of an active catalyst, difficulty in controlling regioselectivity, and overcoming side reactions. Herein, we report the hydrosilylation of β-alkyl and aryl styrenes wi...

The effect of various plant extracts on TiO₂ nanoparticles as efficient photoanode materials for natural dye-sensitized solar cell applications: Green sol-gel and a comparative study

The excessive use of fossil fuels significantly contributes to global warming and environmental damage. A viable solution to these problems is the use of renewable energy sources, especially the clean-energy potential of solar cells. This study investigates the photovoltaic prope...

Comparison of ACEs reporting between clinic and telephone-based screening

Background Whether screening for Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can improve health outcomes may depend in part on screening being acceptable and accurate. Screening modality and context may be important determinants of these characteristics. Objective We compared telephone...

Temperature and relative humidity differentially affect deltamethrin and malathion toxicity in the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus

Background Temperature and relative humidity are key drivers of ectotherm physiology, yet their combined effects on insecticide performance remain poorly understood. Here, we experimentally quantified how both temperature and relative humidity influence the toxicity of two widely...

MORPHOLOGICAL AND MICROBIOLOGICAL CHANGES IN THE INTESTINAL TRACT FOLLOWING EXPERIMENTAL CHOLECYSTECTOMY

Gallstone disease (GLD) is a disease of the hepatobiliary system, characterized by the formation of changes in the internal bile ducts of the liver, the common bile duct, and the gallbladder. Gallstone disease, according to most statistical analyses, is more common in young and m...

A Novel Biliary Plastic Stent With a Centrally Located Flap: Initial Clinical Experience in Three Cases

ABSTRACT Endoscopic biliary plastic stent (PS) insertion is standard for maintaining bile flow, but migration and dislodgement persist as important challenges. We developed the cross range flap stent (CRF stent), a 7 Fr, 7 cm straight‐type PS. Unlike conventional stents with flap...

Dihedral Programming of Topological Charge in Curved Quantum Waveguides

We construct a scalar curved quantum-waveguide hierarchy in which dihedral symmetry programs both the leading geometric release order of a protected two-level degeneracy and its topological charge. For a family with D2q symmetry, representation theory forbids off-diagonal geometr...
