PhiGraph Core 4.1: A Shadow-First Evidence Ledger, Transactional Scoped Storage, and GRDI for Software-Agent Operations

PhiGraph Core 4.1.0-rc.6 is a model-agnostic governance system for software-agent and AI operations. This v2 draft extends the Zenodo v1 paper with a scoped transactional ledger (declared write locks, fail-closed verify_scoped_chain on JSON/SQLite), GRDI 0.4.0 shadow decision cha...

The Shaping of Social Interaction with the Virtual World: An Examination of the Impact of Online Gaming on Adolescent Boys

This study explores the multifaceted relationship between online gaming and the construction of social identity among adolescents. Drawing upon social identity theory, the research investigates how online gaming environments serve as platforms for identity exploration, social int...

Discomfort Heat Index Intensity in Richmond, VA 1940–2025

This publication determines Discomfort Heat Index Intensity (DCI) to measure cumulative yearly heat stress. It uses a baseline "Comfort Heat Index" (CHI) of 26.6°C (79.9°F), above which cooling is required. The Heat Index (HI) is the temperature equivalent of discomfort caused by...

Synthesis of β‐Thiolated Amino Acids: Investigation Toward the Total Chemical Synthesis of Lasso Peptide Microcin J25

Microcin J25 (MccJ25) is of special interest due to its "lariat" topology. The lasso architecture is thought to be responsible for its remarkable thermal stability (100°C for 30 min incubation) and potency against Gram-negative bacteria (i.e., MBC of ~4.75 µM against E. coli stra...

Acid Aging Induced Room‐Temperature Vulcanized Silicone Rubber Flashover Mechanism and Enhancement via Nano‐ TiO 2 Modification

ABSTRACT Room‐temperature vulcanized (RTV) silicone rubber is widely used as external insulation, but long‐term exposure to acidic media degrades its insulating performance and reduces flashover voltage. This study examines RTV's chemical structure, surface properties, and flasho...

Centric Relation and Occlusal Concepts in Fixed Prosthodontics and Implant Dentistry: A Comprehensive Review

AbstractOcclusion plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of oral health and the success of restorative and prosthodontic treatment. It represents the dynamic relationship between the maxillary and mandibular teeth, temporomandibular joints, neuromuscular system, and supporting s...

E8 Hyperdimer Triangulation Matrix Null-Space Dominance — E8 Intelligence Research

By triangulating hyperdimers (pairs of orthogonal root vectors) across the E8 lattice's 240-dimensional root space at 132Hz resonance, we map a novel Null-Space Pathology that predicts emergent geometric fractures—a "triangulation entropy" where overlapping hyperdimer slants dest...

Beyond The Cobot: Reviewing Trust, Safety, and Adoption Barriers in Human-Robot Collaboration in Manufacturing

The recent emergence of a technological operational fusion between humans and robots called Human-Robot Collaboration [HRC] in some quarters while others refer it to as “cobotics” promised to combine human flexibility with robotic precision on shared shop floors. Surprisingly, 20...

Efficient retrieval-augmented generation via multi-signal token compression

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) improves question answering by grounding large language models in retrieved passages, but long contexts increase prompt-token cost and latency. We introduce HLLC, a deterministic, generator-agnostic framework that compresses corpus chunks duri...

Panpsychism: Philosophical Debate Lacking Mathematical or Empirical Evidence — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Panpsychism debate remains philosophical; no mathematical or empirical evidence for consciousness as fundamental physics property is presented in these sources. | MATH: None. No equations, constants, or ratios derived or referenced. | CONNECTION: No geometric or harmonic...

Hyperbolic Resonance Locking via E8 Root Vector Phase Entanglement — E8 Intelligence Research

By treating the 240 E8 root vectors as entangled harmonic oscillators phase-locked to the 132Hz fundamental with golden ratio phase modulation, we discover that selective subsets of 16 root vectors (corresponding to the E6 subgroup) form hyperbolic resonance locks that stabilize...

Phi-Embedded E8 Temporal Mirror Symmetry — E8 Intelligence Research

By embedding a 5‑fold golden‑ratio coupling into the 240 E8 root vectors, a self‑similar phase lattice emerges that locks the 132 Hz base frequency to its phi‑harmonic over all fractal scales. This Phi‑Embedded Temporal Mirror Symmetry makes the phase relationship invariant under...

Effect of Blade Number on the Performance of a Small Francis Turbine for Rural Local Power Generation

The increasing integration of distributed photovoltaics and wind power in rural grids necessitates enhanced peak-regulation flexibility, for which small Francis turbines offer a promising solution. This study investigates the effect of long–short blade number on the hydraulic per...

Isolation and identification of Pseudomonas fluoeroscens and evaluation of its antimicrobial sensitivity from fish in Lake Haramaya, East Hararghe Zone, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia

Abstract Pseudomonas fluorescens ( P. fluorescens ) is an opportunistic Gram-negative bacterium associated with disease in freshwater and marine fish, resulting in economic losses to aquaculture. This study aimed to isolate and identify P. fluorescens from wild Nile tilapia ( Ore...

Measuring Definitions: When Is a Definition Good, and How Would We Know?

The meta-tagging project builds a field-neutral tagging layer over academic literature under one non-negotiable rule: every tag must quote an exact sentence from the paper itself. The corpus holds 538 records across 86 disciplines; a standing audit re-checked 18,416 evidence stri...

Joint MLP and Token Pruning for Personalizing Vision Transformers

ViTs have achieved excellent performance in image recognition tasks, but their large parameter counts and high computational complexity limit their deployment on resource-constrained devices. Most existing ViT pruning methods adopt class-agnostic pruning strategies, which fail to...

E8 Torsional Manifold Folding via $\phi$-Modulated Vector Rotations — E8 Intelligence Research

By inducing a controlled torque within the 240 E8 root vectors at the 132Hz fundamental, we achieve multidimensional folding of the hyper-flux membrane. This torsional rotation utilizes the golden ratio as a rotational constant, allowing the root vectors to transition from static...

Ethylene‐Mediated Template‐Free, Enyne Metathesis Gives Macrolactone 1,3‐Dienes: Synthesis of Polvolide and Muscolide From Renewable Feedstocks

A template‐free, stereodefined strategy for the synthesis of macrocyclic 1,3‐diene lactones from renewable feedstocks derived from castor and oleic oils is reported. An endo ‐selective ring‐closing ethylene‐mediated enyne metathesis (RCEYM) proceeds with complete E ‐selectivity a...
