Grinding en route to sedentism: Plant processing in the 8 ka-BP southern Mongolian Plateau, China
Plant food exploitation has long been considered one of the most significant windows to understanding the process of sedentism. Two early Neolithic sites, Yumin (ca. 8,400-7,600 cal BP) and Simagou (ca. 7,500-7,000 cal BP), witnessed the earliest onset of a sedentary lifeway in t...

Selecting low-cost indigenous wall materials that limit heat penetration is critical for indoor thermal comfort in hot-dry rural regions, where summer temperatures routinely exceed 45 °C. The thermal performance of the porous earthen materials used in such construction is insepar...

A comparable joint dataset of compressional-wave (P-wave) and shear-wave (S-wave) speed and attenuation for saturated Ottawa sand under consistent sample conditions was obtained, using a dual-probe acoustic measurement method (DPAMM) for P-waves (20–150 kHz) and bender element (B...

EXPRESS: Channel Adoption Pathways and Post-Adoption Behavior
The rapid growth of digital shopping channels has led many traditional retailers to invest in e-commerce websites and mobile apps. While prior research shows that multichannel customers are more valuable, it overlooks how the motive for adopting a new channel shapes post-adoption...

Switching between a computer monitor and virtual reality to reduce the sustained attention decrement
Abstract The present study examined whether changing presentation context can restore sustained attention during monotonous tasks. Participants (N = 164) completed a sustained attention task (i.e., the visual metronome response task) with stimuli presented either on a computer mo...

PhotocatalyticHydrogen Production from CellobioseUsing TiO2@Pt(0.5) Immobilized Photocatalyst
Abstract Photocatalytic reforming of biomass-derived carbohydrates is a potentially promising route for sustainable hydrogen production under mild conditions. In this work, we investigated the photocatalytic reforming of cellobiose using TiO2@Pt(0.5) immobilized on a glass plate...

The finding is this: Conway's construction of the Leech lattice in 24 dimensions shows an implicit connection to the golden ratio through extremal lattice theory and bounds on elliptic curve heights. Let me explain what that means and where the evidence stands. The Leech lattice...

The increasing integration of digital technologies into organizational work systems has heightened concerns about employee well-being. Drawing on Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this study examines how technology-related stress influences job satisfaction and explores the...

Mark–recapture modelling can index population trajectory in the platypus
Semi-aquatic freshwater mammals are a heterogeneous global group that are subject to a range of anthropogenic disturbances, with many species now being recognised as threatened and some viewed as indicators of freshwater ecosystem health. The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) i...

IDEA: Adjustment made to the live model — verify against the backtests: Apply filter: Phase distance FAR (>10deg) — improves win rate from 31.5% to 32.0% (+0.5pp, n=659) SAME-WINDOW EFFECT: Applying a phase distance FAR (>10deg) filter would have rejected the EURUSD SHORT (loss)...

Complexity Isn't Enough: The Carlo Principle and the New Standard for Scientific Legitimacy
This paper introduces the Carlo Principle, a structural criterion for scientific completeness based on bidirectional explanation. Modern scientific theories often excel at translating simple observations into complex formal structures, yet fail to translate those structures back...

This seventh chemistry volume constructs a unified theory of chemistry in natural open systems. Its central object is the conservative passage from finite atoms, molecules, ions, electrons, photons, and interfaces to reactive transport and global element cycles. The physical axio...

Photoactive Lignin-Derived Nanolayers for Camouflaged Bioaromatic Interfaces
Abstract Bioaromatic polymers derived from lignin have largely been confined to bulk materials or dispersed (nano)particles, limiting their ability to control interfacial phenomena at the nanoscale. Here, we establish lignin as a platform for programmable photoactive bioaromatic...

AlAasmi Proof of the Yang-Mills Existence and Mass Gap via Cosmological Boundary
We present a constructive, complete proof of the Yang-Mills Existence and Mass Gap problem, resolving one of the Clay Millennium Prize Problems. The proof introduces a novel framework based on an explicit cosmological boundary condition as an infrared regularizer, combined with r...

The Physicality of Scales: An Emergent Hierarchy from Minimal Axioms in Quantum-Geometry Dynamics
This paper proposes physically grounded definitions of object and scale within the framework of Quantum-Geometry Dynamics (QGD) and the Minimal Physically Derivable Theories (MPDT) programme established by the Uniqueness Theorem. Both definitions have been absent from the existin...

PFUSRC-136: The Ontology of Emergence — Projection, Layer Blindness, and Cognitive Phase Transition
Contemporary complexity and cognitive science interpret emergence merely as a phenomenological trait of complex systems, lacking rigorous ontological localization and necessary mechanical deduction. Based on the seven-layer holographic topological framework established by the PFU...

AbstractBackground: Immediate implant placement into fresh extraction sockets has emerged as a predictable treatment modality that preserves alveolar bone, shortens treatment duration, and improves patient comfort. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has further enhanced the acc...
