Fairness Evaluation Paradox: How Biased Test Data Masks True Group Fairness Assessment

The EU AI Act makes fairness metrics for high-risk AI systems’ compliance evidence, turning their trustworthiness into a safety and accountability concern. Fairness audits assume that test data reflects the properties of real-world conditions, whereas standard evaluation protocol...

Peptidomic Characterizationand Functional Propertiesof Goat and Cow Milk Kefir before and after In Vitro Digestion

Abstract Kefir is a fermented beverage produced from goat or cow milk. This study evaluated the bioactive potential and peptidomic profile of kefirs from both species before and after in vitro digestion. Peptides from undigested, gastric, and intestinal phases were characterized...

Distribution of surface layer temperature inversion in the North Indian Ocean and associated acoustic propagation characteristics

Surface Layer Temperature Inversion (SLTI), a warm layer between the surface and subsurface colder waters, is a significant oceanographic feature that has a profound impact on the oceanic acoustic propagation. Strong inversions are observed in northern BoB and in the South Easter...

EXTRACTED CONSTANTS (rlab #107): 1.618, 0.618, 240 — E8 Intelligence Research

constant phi = 1.618 — golden ratio referenced for inter-star arc distance clustering constant phi_inverse = 0.618 — golden ratio inverse for arc distance clustering constant e8_vertex_count = 240 — number of vertices in E8 root system for mapping to celestial holes Author: Andre...

Weighted multi-scale and wavelet-enhanced Segment Anything Model for salient object detection

Salient Object Detection (SOD) is concerned with isolating the visually most noticeable objects in an image via precise segmentation. Previous approaches, especially those that adapt the Segment Anything Model (SAM), often yield saliency maps that contain incomplete object masks,...

Existence and Uniqueness Theorem of Continuous and Monotone Bayesian Nash Equilibrium and Stability Analysis

Since the seminal work by Meirowitz [Meirowitz A (2003) On the existence of equilibria to Bayesian games with non-finite type and action spaces. Econom. Lett. 78(2):213–218], there has been growing attention to the existence and uniqueness of continuous Bayesian Nash equilibria....

A Droop-Based PI-QPR Control Strategy for Islanded Parallel-Inverter Microgrids

Parallel-inverter microgrids are prone to PCC voltage distortion during islanded operation with nonlinear and unbalanced loads. Virtual-impedance methods can reshape inverter output impedance, but they also add control complexity and may introduce extra voltage drops. This paper...

An AI-Assisted Protocol for Quantifying Superficial Chorioallantoic Membrane Vasculature

Introduction: The chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) is a widely used in vivo model for studying angiogenesis and tumor growth in accordance with the 3Rs principles. However, its multilayered vascular organization complicates quantitative analysis, because overlapping superfi...

Adaptive stochastic resonance with period guidance for blind bearing fault detection

To address the limitations of stochastic resonance (SR) methods based on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in blind fault detection of rolling bearings, a periodicity-guided adaptive SR method is proposed. First, an adaptive weighted squared envelope correlation sparse deconvolution me...

Microbial interactions as key players shaping the emergence and spread of de novo resistance mutations

Antibiotic resistance and the microbiome are two of the most prominent and highly active research areas currently in microbiology. However, these studies are commonly siloed. Research into antibiotic resistance often takes a highly pathogenic-centric view, and microbiome studies...

Adrenaline Use and Request for Emergency Medical Assistance to Manage Food Anaphylaxis

Summary Adrenaline was rarely used, medical assistance being requested in two thirds of anaphylaxis cases. Medical assistance request was less frequent if milder or no cardiovascular anaphylaxis symptoms.

Per- and PolyfluoroalkylSubstances in Pediatric CerebrospinalFluid: Evidence of Central Nervous System Exposure

Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been implicated in neurodevelopmental toxicity, yet direct evidence of their presence within the central nervous system (CNS) of children remains limited. We quantified 12 PFAS in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from 47 p...

Evaluation of in process heating for extrusion printing of tall thin-walled structures

Compared to other additive manufacturing processes, extrusion printing offers a cost-effective solution in prototyping thin-walled structures across diverse applications. However, transitioning these prototypes into fully functional parts remains difficult due to weak interlayer...

Self-Reinforcing Nanozyme-Integrated Microneedles Orchestrate Cascaded Regulation of ROS Homeostasis for Infected Wound Healing

Abstract Chronic diabetic wounds represent a severe complication of diabetes mellitus and a prototypical form of chronic nonhealing wounds, characterized by biofilm-associated infection, persistent inflammation, and impaired angiogenesis. Herein, a multifunctional microneedle pla...

Sexual Behaviour, HIV Prevention and Testing Among Transgender and Non-binary People in a Cross-Sectional Behavioural Surveillance Survey in Aotearoa New Zealand

Trans and non-binary (TNB) people who have sex with gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBM) are rarely included in HIV behavioural surveillance. Improved data on risk and protective behaviours among TNB people could help identify unmet needs. We analysed data from...

From Geometric Complexity to Informational Dimensionality in Scaffold-Guided Tissue Regeneration

Scaffold architecture shapes tissue regeneration through the mechanical, topographical, and biochemical cues it presents to cells, yet geometrically elaborate scaffolds do not reliably produce more organized tissues, while comparatively simple architectures can exert strong organ...
