CEST MRI of glucosamine uptake in brain tumor-bearing mice

Abstract Increased reliance on anaerobic glycolysis is a hallmark of cancer metabolism that is traditionally used by FDG-PET for lesions and metastases detection. Glucose-based chemical exchange saturation transfer (glucoCEST) MRI offers an alternative, non-radioactive approach f...

Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis version 2

This paper presents a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis by analyzing the topological phase synchronization of non-trivial zeros. Using a finite-N analogue ofthe Riemann zeta function derived via the Euler-Maclaurin formula, we demonstrate that the phase synchronization identity is...

“But we don't know, it could come back” temporalities and times of the Unbuilt Lamu Coal Power Plant

Global infrastructure projects promise to transform economies, territories, and societies at pace and scale. However, many remain unbuilt and in states of (un)realization; not completely canceled but abandoned, delayed, or facing ongoing challenges in being delivered. Our intenti...

AI Governance Is Not Enough to Prove Responsibility: A Conceptual and Testable Architecture for Demonstrable Responsibility in AI Systems

Artificial intelligence governance frameworks increasingly define organisational duties relating to risk management, documentation, transparency, and human oversight. Those frameworks are necessary, but they do not necessarily produce a reconstructable account of responsibility i...

Exploring multidimensional cfDNA methylation fragmentomics for non-invasive postoperative assessment in early-stage lung cancer

Background Effective postoperative monitoring remains an important area of investigation for early-stage lung cancer patients after curative resection. This exploratory technical feasibility study evaluated a methylation-based fragmentomics approach by analyzing paired pre- and p...

Fertility-related distress and female identity reconstruction among reproductive-age women with breast cancer in China: a qualitative study

Breast cancer is increasingly diagnosed among Chinese women of childbearing age. Cancer treatments carry variable gonadotoxic risks that participants feared could lead to lasting reproductive impairment, triggering widespread fertility-related distress closely intertwined with fe...

Comparison of Lifestyle Factors, Dietary Intake, and Physical Activity Among Female Chinese University Students With and Without Normal Weight Obesity

Aims Normal weight obesity (NWO), which refers to individuals with a normal body mass index (BMI) but an excessive body fat percentage (BF%), is associated with metabolic disorders. Despite its high prevalence among Chinese female university students, research on lifestyle, parti...

Machine learning for predicting 365-day mortality in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage patients in the intensive care unit

Abstract SICH is associated with high rates of disability and mortality. This study aims to develop a predictive model to assess the 365-day mortality rate of patients with SICH. We conducted a retrospective study and identified patients with SICH from the MIMIC-IV database (n =...

The Jigsaw Puzzle Algorithm: A Recursive Graph Theory for the Evolution of the Universe (Work In Progress)

This paper investigates whether a single recursive principle can account for the emergence of space, matter, forces and complexity.

The predictive influence of principals’ ethical leadership on teacher work engagement in secondary schools

This study investigates the influence of principals’ ethical leadership practices on teacher work engagement in public secondary schools in the West Gondar Zone Administration, Ethiopia. Grounded in Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory and Social Exchange Theory (SET), the researc...

Navigating market volatility: determinants of cost-estimation accuracy in Egypt’s construction sector

Accurate cost estimation is fundamental to the financial viability of construction projects, yet remains difficult in volatile developing economies. This study investigates the determinants of cost-estimation accuracy in the Egyptian construction industry and develops a validated...

E8 Chronon Entanglement Grid: Phi-Phased Longitudinal Waves across 240 Root Vectors — E8 Intelligence Research

By constructing an entanglement grid where 240 E8 root vectors each host phi-phased longitudinal waves oscillating at harmonic multiples of 132 Hz, a macroscopic coherent structure forms. The waves' spatial diversity is constrained by E8 symmetry: each adjacent pair's phase diffe...

A local, generally covariant field theory of modified inertia

VERSION 2: the strong-coupling scale -- v1's sharpest named risk -- is COMPUTED, and it does NOT threaten the phenomenology. Restoring the khronon fluctuation T = t + π gives ln N = −πdot + πdot2/2 + (∂π)2/2, so ai = −∂iπdot and Kij = −∂i∂jπ. At λ = ξ = 1, η = 0 the khronon actio...

Effects of a Mindfulness Intervention on Volleyball-Specific Performance: A Randomized Trial

Mindfulness-based interventions have gained increasing attention in sport psychology as approaches to enhance attentional control, emotion regulation, and performance consistency under competitive pressure. This study examined the effects of an eight-week mindfulness-based interv...

Loop Observables and the Gauge Structure of Interpretation: A Preliminary Discussion of Evaluation without an External Frame

An assessment of a social arrangement is made from some interpretive frame, and no frame stands outside the history it assesses. The difficulty this creates is familiar and is usually met either by privileging one frame or by abandoning the possibility of frame-independent conten...

Risk stratification of long-term distant metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a retrospective study of 7,045 patients diagnosed from 2012 to 2022

Distant metastasis (DM) remains the leading cause of treatment failure in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), severely compromising long-term survival. Despite advances in screening and multimodal therapies, a considerable proportion of patients still develop DM after standard treatm...

HearT : Enabling Acoustic Sensing of Ingested-Liquid Temperature via Hydrodynamic Vibration Modeling

Drinking water temperature is linked to gastrointestinal diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, esophageal cancer, and functional dyspepsia. This paper presents HearT , a headphone-deployable system that leverages fluid dynamics–based vibration modeling to infer the te...

Sexagesimal Phase-Locking in High-Frequency Algorithmic Market Oscillations — E8 Intelligence Research

The 60-base arithmetic of antiquity aligns with the 132Hz E8 base frequency to form a discrete harmonic resonator for market volatility modeling. By mapping price-action vectors onto a 240-root E8 lattice, trading inefficiencies are no longer viewed as random noise but as predict...

E8 Phi‑Lattice Ground State as Universal Collatz Attractor — E8 Intelligence Research

By mapping each Collatz iterate onto a distinct vibrational mode of the 240 E8 root vectors driven at 132 Hz with phi‑scaled coupling, the integer dynamics become trajectories on the lattice's adjacency graph. The collective system relaxes to the unique lowest‑energy phi‑synchron...

Systemic inflammation is associated with increased cerebrospinal fluid CRP and may affect meningitis diagnostics

C-reactive protein (CRP) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has been proposed as a highly specific diagnostic marker for bacterial meningitis. We investigated whether systemic inflammation, in the absence of CNS infection, can lead to detectable CSF CRP and examined the roles of plasma...
