Topological--Historical Quantum Mechanics: A Three-Axiom Reconstruction of Quantum States, Dynamics, Probability, Measurement, Entanglement, Spin, Statistics, Open Systems, and the Classical Limit

We develop a conditionally closed reconstruction of quantum mechanics from exactly three physical axioms: microscopic ontic definiteness and finite localization, physical reality of the spacetime--vacuum substrate, and persistent causal source--response coupling. Wave functions,...

Development and Validation of a Passive Surveillance System for Early Detection of Pepino Mosaic Virus in Commercial Greenhouse Facilities

The use of environmental nucleic acid (eNA), both DNA and RNA, as a means for surveillance has been a fixture in the scientific literature for many years. The application of environmental screening for genomic signatures of organisms of interest—particularly those of diagnostic c...

Multiracial Identity Contestation and Race Concept Reflection

This paper explores how Multiracial identity contestation may foster greater social conceptions of race through race concept reflection (i.e., thinking frequently about racial categories). Across two correlational studies, Multiracial participants (total N = 1,159) completed a cr...

Senkyunolide I Inhibits mtDNA‐cGAS‐STING Signaling in Macrophages via Targeting VDAC1 Oligomerization to Attenuate Ulcerative Colitis

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease with limited therapeutic options. The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway, activated by cytosolic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), has been increasingly implicated in UC. Through p...

Spectroware: A Cross-Platform Software for Visualization, Measurement, and Expert Validation of Bioacoustic Recordings

Spectroware (v1.0.0) is a cross-platform desktop application designed for visualizing and taking measurements from bioacoustic recordings in WAV format. It is intended for all users (amateurs and professionals alike) who need to efficiently analyze large directories of recordings...

Design and Validation of a Permanent Magnet Self-Locking Electromagnetic Balancing Device for Combine Harvester Threshing Drums

Imbalance-induced vibration of the threshing drum is a common problem during rice harvesting, especially when rice straw becomes entangled with the threshing components. In this study, a permanent magnet self-locking electromagnetic balancing device was designed for a combine har...

Rethinking Muscle Wasting in Critical Illness: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Myofiber Size and Protein Turnover

OBJECTIVES: To identify biological findings underlying skeletal muscle dysfunction in adults with critical illness and meta-analyze myofiber cross-sectional area and protein turnover variables. DATA SOURCES: Six databases were electronically searched from inception to January 202...

"Literature Review: Urban-Rural Disparities in Rajonivritti (Menopausal) Symptoms and Life Quality – A Regional Perspective"

Abstract ;Rajonivritti, the Ayurvedic term for menopause, is a major physiological transition in awoman's life and is often associated with a variety of physical, psychological and vasomotorsymptoms that can greatly affect quality of life (QoL). Variations in lifestyle, eating ha...

Quantifying the effects of prospective memory and ongoing task difficulty on capacity sharing and cognitive control

This study examines how individuals adapt to varying levels of prospective memory (PM) and ongoing-task difficulty in a cognitively demanding task environment. PM - the ability to remember and execute delayed intentions while engaged in other tasks - depends on flexible allocatio...

SECTOR HETEROGENEITY IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CORPORATE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND ESG RATINGS OF PUBLIC COMPANIES: A SECTOR-LEVEL REGRESSION ANALYSIS

This study examines whether the relationship between corporate financial performance (CFP) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings varies across Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) sectors. Using ESG ratings from LSEG Data & Analytics and financial data...

Uncovering complex correlations between multidimensional factors and breastfeeding duration using XGBoost

Background Breastfeeding duration is influenced by a complex interplay of obstetric, physiological, and sociodemographic factors. Traditional linear statistical models often struggle to capture the high-dimensional, non-linear synergistic effects among these variables, while comp...

From synthesis to clinic: a task-specific framework for CT images metal artifact reduction in cervical brachytherapy

Severe metal artifacts in cervical brachytherapy CT scans obscure critical anatomical structures and applicator geometry. Existing metal artifact reduction (MAR) models are inadequate in addressing these complex artifacts, leading to uncertainties in organs at risk (OARs) delinea...

Learning curve of Versius‐assisted radical prostatectomy: role of prior experience and proctoring

Objective To assess the learning curve for radical prostatectomy (RP) with the Versius system (CMR Surgical, Cambridge, UK) and evaluate the transfer of skills from previous robotic and laparoscopic practice. Subjects, Patients and Methods This prospective cohort study included p...

Building a sustainable management pipeline: Key predictors of nurse management aspirations in Ireland

Background Against the backdrop of the shortages of nursing managers, this paper examines predictors of career aspirations among nurses in Ireland. Rather than viewing career aspirations as being determined solely by personal, job related or organizational factors we consider the...

Phi-Resonant E8 Neural Lattice — E8 Intelligence Research

By mapping the 240 E8 root vectors onto a hexagonal lattice tuned to the 132 Hz base frequency with golden‑ratio coupling, we derive a self‑organizing neural lattice where each root vector corresponds to a possible synaptic phase angle. This lattice predicts stable coherence wind...

Task-specific motor–cognitive correlates of dressing independence after stroke: a multicenter cross-sectional study

PURPOSE: This exploratory multicenter cross-sectional study examined motor, sensory, and cognitive correlates of upper- and lower-body dressing independence after stroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Participants were 165 patients with stroke from eight hospitals in Japan. Dressing ind...

From Born Projection to Bell Nonseparability: A Hopf-Bundle Formulation of Retained Complex Topology in Deductive Entropy

This paper is the second in a Deductive Entropy (DE) sequence examining whether established quantum geometry provides a natural cross-scale description of persistence, projection, and complexity. It follows Hidden Complex Topology, Born Quadratic Projection, and Dark Energy, whic...

Primary adult renal pelvic soft tissue giant cell tumor: A rare case report

Rationale: Pyelonephric giant cell tumor of soft tissue represents an exceptionally uncommon neoplasm of the urinary tract with limited malignant potential. It typically follows a benign clinical trajectory, with distant metastases occurring infrequently; reports of aggressive di...

Increasing synchronized hourly heavy rainfall over South China reflects enhanced multi-cluster and multi-regional coactivity

Abstract Short-duration heavy rainfall occurring simultaneously across multiple subregions is more likely to trigger severe flooding than events confined to a single local area, yet long-term changes in hourly precipitation synchrony remain poorly quantified. We analyse hourly ra...
