Occlusion-Robust Cattle Pose Estimation for Precision Livestock Monitoring Using Hierarchical Locality Refinement

Accurate cattle pose estimation is important for precision livestock farming because body landmarks can provide quantitative visual inputs for potential health monitoring, behavior analysis, lameness assessment, and welfare evaluation. This study focuses on keypoint-localization...

Coffea Comparative Genomics Reveals Subgenome-Associated Expansion and Diversification of Biosynthetic Gene Clusters

Biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) are important for plant specialized metabolism, but remain poorly characterized in coffee. Given Brazil’s importance in coffee production, we performed a comparative genomic analysis of BGCs across the allotetraploid Coffea arabica and its diploi...

Experimental Evaluation of Cooling Loop Configurations for Server-Level Direct-to-Chip Liquid Cooling Systems

Abstract Effective heat removal has become a critical challenge in modern data centers as increasing computational demands from artificial intelligence and machine learning push GPUs, CPUs, and network switches toward unprecedented power densities. These heat loads often exceed t...

A General Theory of Correlation Among Multiple Variables: Statistical Connectivity Spaces

Abstract This monograph develops a measure-theoretic theory of dependence for collections of internal variables observed under external background information. The primitive objects are projectively compatible regular conditional probability kernels on standard Borel spaces. For...

A Study on Financial Investment Behaviour of Gen'z'

Generation Z (Gen Z) is a new wave of investors entering the financial industry. It’s generally defined as people born between 1997 and 2012. Unlike other generations, Gen Z has grown up in a digital world where social networking, online banking, mobile investing apps and financi...

A Six-Degree-of-Freedom Wave Compensation Parallel Robot with Triple-Loop Fractional-Order PI Control Optimized by Tuna Swarm Optimization

For high-precision attitude adjustment tasks of a six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) wave-compensation parallel robot in shipborne applications, strong non-stationary wave excitations, abrupt load changes, and broadband disturbances jointly challenge tracking accuracy and smoothness....

An Absorption-Based PDMS/f-CNT Mass-Capacitor for Continuous Monitoring of Fire-Derived Organic Contamination

Firefighters are exposed to complex smoke containing volatile, semivolatile, aromatic, and particulate-associated organic contaminants that accumulate on skin, clothing, and protective equipment. Conventional gas sensors monitor only selected airborne species, while passive sampl...

One-Pot Self-Assembly Shaping of Polyamine-Supported Silica Adsorbents Using a CO2–Curable Silicate Binder

Abstract Polyamine-containing porous adsorbents are promising materials for CO2 capture, but practical deployment requires shaping into mechanically robust bodies without sacrificing adsorption performance. Conventional shaping methods typically rely on high-temperature calcinati...

Chronic BDE-47Exposure Induces DNA Damage in Hepatocytes:Involvement of Oxidative Stress and CYP1A1/2 Upregulation

Abstract 2,2′,4,4′-Tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) is a persistent food-chain pollutant targeting the liver, whose genotoxic potential remains poorly understood. Here we investigated BDE-47-triggered DNA damage using HepG2 cells and C3H/He mice. BDE-47 exposure markedly elevate...

Localized Topical Melatonin Therapy Promotes Hair Regrowth in C57BL/6 Mice in Association with Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway Activation

Melatonin, a methoxyindole synthesized by the pineal gland, is secreted in response to photoperiodic cues relayed from the retina through an endogenous circadian oscillator within the suprachiasmatic nucleus. Consequently, melatonin secretion regulates the circadian rhythm. Melat...

Comparison of Two Nectar Field Sampling Methods on Three Plant Species from the Family Ranunculaceae

Research on floral nectar quantity and composition is increasingly frequent, yet existing studies predominantly focus on plant species with larger flowers that yield abundant nectar. Consequently, standard collection techniques like the microcapillary method are often optimized o...

Do methodological limitations and confounding factors explain the apparent acceleration of cognitive decline in older adults taking omega-3 fatty acid supplements?

Deep Semantic Fusion and Overlap-Aware Transformer Registration for Intelligent Recognition and 3D Modeling of Power Grid Equipment

Artificial intelligence, computer vision, and digital twin technologies have increased the demand for intelligent recognition and dynamic modeling of power grid equipment. Existing methods remain limited by noisy multi-source documents, weak semantic-to-geometric mapping, and uns...

β = (v/c)²: A Two-Level Kinematic Indicator of Galaxy State

Preprint version 2.0.0. We investigate the kinematic parameter β = (v/c)² as a two-level indicator of galaxy state. On a sample of ALFALFA α.40 × SDSS DR7 × galSpecExtra DR8 (N = 9724), we confirm that globally β anti-correlates with gas fraction (r = −0.347, p < 10⁻²⁷²) and posi...

Integrative transcriptomic and machine learning approaches reveal candidate genes for silk and venom production in B ibionomorpha ( D iptera)

Insects display adaptive diversity in their secretory systems, which mediate ecological interactions ranging from defence to adhesion. Within Diptera, the co-occurrence of silk and venom represents a rare functional combination. Here, we integrate multi-species transcriptomics, c...

Nanoindentation in the assessment of biomechanical parameters of extraocular muscles

This article describes a technique for biomechanical testing of human extraocular muscle samples based on the principle of nanoindentation. The technique involves both static and dynamic testing of tissue samples. The study determines a set of biomechanical parameters that charac...

Notes on Polanyi's Double-Movement Thesis: Conflict Conditions and Epistemological Considerations

Karl Polanyi's double movement provides a classic macroscopic narrative for understanding market expansion and social backlash. Nevertheless, it remains a descriptive historical framework lacking micro‑level behavioral logic, causal boundaries, and epistemological reflection. Exi...

Pauling‐Type Multi‐Oxygen Adsorption of Amorphous MoS x Cocatalysts for Boosting Photocatalytic H 2 O 2 Production

ABSTRACT The loading of cocatalysts and the modulation of their electronic properties play a crucial role in boosting photocatalytic H 2 O 2 production. However, cocatalyst surfaces often feature multi‐oxygen adsorption configurations, and how such adsorption states influence cha...

Remembering the Traditional Games of the Santhal Tribe: From Soil to Play

The traditional games of the Santhal tribe of India represent a profound integration of play, ecology and cultural rituals. The study documents how these games are deeply embedded in the socio-ritual fabric of community life. The study also examines their current status and relat...

The Radicals: towards a practical framework for anticolonial museum practice and museology

Whilst a consensus has begun to emerge that museums should decolonise, debate remains around how. Indigenous museology has already reimagined museum practice, and yet a way forward for anticolonial practice elsewhere has not yet emerged. The repatriation of Ancestors and belongin...
