Adaptive graph construction and graph contrastive learning for geospatial feature embedding
Geospatial features serve as a cornerstone in urban planning and location-based services. Effective geospatial feature embedding is crucial for downstream geospatial Deep Neural Networks (DNN) applications. Currently, geospatial feature representation learning approaches rely on...

Abstract Severe interfacial recombination remains a key barrier limiting carrier collection in SnS thin-film solar cells. Thus, in this study, atomic layer deposition (ALD)-based thin oxide interlayers are engineered at the SnS/CdS heterojunction. The applicability of ZnO, SnO2,...

Developing intercultural music literacy through world music aesthetics in higher education
This quasi-experimental study investigated the effectiveness of a World Music Aesthetics course designed to develop intercultural music literacy through an aesthetic learning approach and a global–local dual-axis framework. Developed using the ADDIE model, the 16-week course comp...

The New Turing Test: A Methods Demonstration in Irreversible History and Permissible Futures
This record presents an exploratory, reproducible computational methods demonstration, motivated by the question of whether artificial agents behave differently when irreversible history changes their attainable futures. The Turing framing is a motivating application, not a claim...

Abstract Osteoarthritis is a whole-joint disease in which cartilage loss, synovial inflammation, subchondral bone remodelling and pain-related neural changes co-evolve, yet structural improvement does not reliably translate into pain relief. This Review centres prostaglandin E 2...

The first four papers in the System Logic series established systemic adequacy, boundary and time, local optimization and systemic failure, and feedback and systemic correction as core concepts for evaluating judgments and actions in open systems. Together, they raise a central q...
- Engineering & TechnologyOpen access
Manufacturing-cell digital twins increasingly combine independently developed services that can influence shared physical resources. When several state-changing services are individually admissible but request incompatible values for the same control endpoint, runtime governance...

Recursive Structural Reality: A Philosophical and Mathematical Framework for a Cyclic Universe
This thesis develops Recursive Structural Reality (RSR) as a unified philosophical and mathematical framework for investigating the fundamental organization of reality, the emergence of physical structures, and the long-term evolution of the universe. Its central proposition, Ide...

Don’t Blame the Code! AI Paternalism Reconsidered
Abstract AI-driven diagnostic and therapeutic systems are being rapidly integrated into clinical practice. A growing literature contends that this integration threatens patient autonomy by exposing patients to a novel form of AI paternalism. I argue that this framing is misguided...

COMPACT-RANGE VIETORIS POWERS OF COUNTABLE ORDINALS
For every ordinal ω < α < ω1, the ordered compact-set space K(α, ord) of Caruvana andHolshouser is second-countable and Lindelo¨f, but neither σ-compact nor Menger. This answersQuestion 2.18 of their published paper. We first prove that a second-countable ground space has asecond...
