A foundational problem in physics remains unresolved: the role of the conscious observer in quantum measurement. This paper develops a theoretical framework, the Silence Paradigm, that generates testable predictions bearing on that problem. It treats the observer's state of consc...

Diagnosing Motor-Imagery BCI Failure: A Three-Step Diagnostic Framework
Version 3.1.0. This version adds the four figures. The v3.0.0 PDF carried the captions but not the artwork, because the manuscript is prepared with figures supplied as separate files, which is what the journal requires and what a reader does not want. The text is otherwise the ve...

The Lagrangians of general relativity and of the standard model of particle physics with massive neutrinos follow from a single fundamental principle based on fluctuating strands of Planck radius. The principle yields unique and running values for the elementary particle masses a...

QG-CRM: Ultraviolet Completion of the Curvature Relaxation Model via Quantum Quadratic Gravity
```html Paper VI of the Curvature Relaxation Model (CRM) series. DRAFT We present QG-CRM, the ultraviolet-completed Curvature Relaxation Model. The γR² term in the CRM Lagrangian admits a natural UV completion via asymptotically free quantum quadratic gravity (QQG), following Liu...

It is remarkable that the standard cosmological model, established in the 1960s, has remained conceptually unchanged for more than six decades despite the considerable evolution of technologies, observations, and physical theories. This unusual stability highlights the importance...

Bidirectional higher-order-mode slot antennas with sidelobe suppression
In this paper, three higher-order-mode slot antennas with high gain and bidirectional radiation characteristics are proposed. Each proposed antenna consists of a folded slot fed by a microstrip line. One antenna operates in the fourth-order resonant mode, whereas the other two op...

A Journal Has Two Separable Properties: Emergent Thematic Identity and Competitive Position.
For decades the quartile of a journal has been read as a statement about the journal itself: a move from Q1 to Q2 is taken to mean decline. Yet a quartile is a relative ranking within a reference set, whereas a journal also possesses properties that arise from what it actually pu...

Rational Molecular Design to Improve Digital Polymer Readout in Aerolysin‐Based Nanopore Sequencing
ABSTRACT Nanopore sequencing is a promising method for decoding synthetic digital polymers, but translocation signals are often complex. This study examines the influence of macromolecular design on the accuracy of nanopore sequencing. Nine phosphoramidite monomers were synthesiz...

E8 Phi‑Coupled Exciton‑Qubit Lattice for Biological Quantum Cognition — E8 Intelligence Research
The principle posits that the 240‑dimensional root lattice of E8, resonant at 132 Hz, provides a geometric scaffold for coordinated wavelike exciton transport in chlorophyll and nuclear‑spin ³¹P qubits within Posner molecules, where inter‑vector couplings follow the golden ratio...

A Measure-Theoretic Formulation of Hybrid Systems Beyond Zeno Time
Hybrid dynamical systems may exhibit Zeno behavior, where infinitely many discrete transitions occur in finite time, leading to a loss of well-posedness of trajectories beyond the accumulation point. This paper develops a measure-theoretic formulation of hybrid dynamics by repres...

Eksenel Yüklü Kazıkların Sayısal Analiz ve Bileşik Yöntem Entegrasyonu ile Geoteknik Tasarımı
Kazıklar, oturmaları azaltmak üzere inşa edilen temel elemanları olsa da geleneksel geoteknik tasarım, taşıma gücü analizine göre yapılmakta ve oturmalar ayrı bir hesaplama yaklaşımıyla kontrol edilmektedir. Böylesi bir kazık tasarımında “taşıma gücü” çoğu zaman, şaft sürtünmesi...

Economic Incentives for Agrivoltaics Systems with Commodity Crops in the Midwestern United States
Abstract Declining costs of photovoltaic (PV) technology and rising market and policy incentives are leading to the growing deployment of PV on cropland in the US Midwest, leading to concerns about the displacement of food and feed crop production. Agrivoltaic (AV) technology ena...

The classical Big Bang singularity represents the ultimate breakdown of general relativity, predicting infinite densities and curvatures at the temporal origin. In this work, we present a comprehensive framework combining the Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Kibble (ECSK) gravity theory wi...

Risk-Informed Ecological Network Optimization in a Semi-Arid Coal Mining Landscape
Coal mining landscapes require restoration strategies that account not only for where ecological risk is concentrated but also for how risk constrains landscape connectivity. However, landscape ecological risk assessment is still commonly used as a zoning tool, with weak links to...

Dictators often rule through political parties. While they might bolster regime survival, ruling parties can also provide a means for party members to defy the ruler. This article investigates the electoral consequences of elite divisions within ruling parties. Using cross-nation...

A good friend and leader of a great treatment program did something this week that we do not do often enough. He sent a group of us a copy of a letter he received from someone who received treatment in his program many years ago. In the letter “Joe” talked about how receiving a s...
