Alkaline hydrolysis of electrospun PAN/h-BN composite nanofibres: Structural and chemical baseline for ionic electroactive polymer applications

Electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) / hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) composite nanofibre membranes (h-BN: 0–40 wt%) were hydrolyzed with equimolar (2.0 M) NaOH and KOH, and the resulting fifteen compositions were characterized by SEM, ATR-FTIR, XRD, n -butanol porosimetry, and gr...

Forecast reconciliation of agricultural GHG emissions in Europe with fuzzy clustering

Abstract We propose a novel statistical procedure which combines forecasting reconciliation techniques and unsupervised clustering algorithms to forecast annual greenhouse gases emissions at the territorial level. Specifically, we aim at predicting future emissions from the agric...

"I, for One, Shall Make No Acknowledgment of Wrong": Race and Sectional Reconciliation in the Reunion of the Episcopal Church, 1865–1866

Abstract: This essay examines the circumstances surrounding the reunion of the Episcopal Church in October 1865. Unlike Protestants of other denominations, Episcopalians remained united during the antebellum period but split in 1861 due to political secession. Then, the Episcopal...

Retreat, Resilience, and Reorganization: Decoding the Post-Paleozoic Evolution of Brachiopods

The Paleozoic–Modern Evolutionary Fauna transition is defined by the ecological replacement of brachiopods by bivalves. However, it remains debated whether post-Paleozoic brachiopods experienced a simple, continuous global decline or a complex macroevolutionary reorganization. Pr...

Reducing Computational Cost in Long-Term Simulations of Multiscale Cellular Mechanobiology

Abstract The long-term simulation of biological systems at the cellular level presents a significant computational challenge due to pronounced multiscale behavior and severe numerical stiffness. While implicit solvers offer improved stability in solving stiff systems, they can in...

A (p,q)-adic Generalization of the Collatz Conjecture — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Collatz conjecture generalized to (p,q)-adic analysis, revealing a framework for studying iterative dynamics over mixed-radix number systems. | MATH: The standard Collatz map: \( T(n) = n/2 \) if \( n \) even, \( T(n) = 3n+1 \) if \( n \) odd. Generalized to (p,q)-adic:...

Wastewater-BasedEpidemiology of Sexually TransmittedPathogens Across Scales

Abstract Wastewater-based epidemiology for sexually transmitted pathogens Chlamydia trachomatis (chlamydia), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonorrhea), and Treponema pallidum (syphilis) is sparse compared to viral targets despite their public health significance. We used multiplex, digit...

MediEco: A Comprehensive AI-Driven Framework for Digital Healthcare Transformation in Bangladesh

The healthcare infrastructure in Bangladesh remains heavily reliant on fragmented, paper-based documentation, leading to significant inefficiencies and clinical risks. This research introduces The MediEco, a comprehensive, AI-driven digital healthcare framework developed to centr...

Development and validation of a nomogram prediction model for mild pulmonary arterial hypertension risk in children with left-to-right shunt congenital heart disease

Mild pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) represents an early and potentially reversible complication stage in children with congenital structural heart disease (CHD). Early identification of high-risk children is crucial for improving prognosis. This study aimed to develop and...

THE WELLNESS CONCEPT IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY: CULTURAL AND HEALTH PERSPECTIVES

The wellness concept has developed into an interdisciplinary framework encompassing health promotion, disease prevention, recreation, and sustainable lifestyle practices. This study examines the healthcare and cultural dimensions of wellness and its contribution to healthy lifest...

Temporal profiling of hippocampal astrocyte reactivity reveals persistent GFAP cleavage and complement C3 association after status epilepticus

Astrocytes play essential roles in maintaining brain homeostasis, regulating synaptic transmission, supporting neuronal metabolism, and preserving blood-brain barrier integrity. Following prolonged seizures, such as status epilepticus (SE), astrocytes undergo structural and molec...

Effects of a polycrop or oat monocrop on forage yield, nutritive value, utilization and weaned steer performance for winter swath grazing

This 3-year study assessed winter beef cattle performance swath-grazing either (i) polycrop system (PC) comprising CDC-SO1 oat (Avena sativa L.), Golden Globe turnip (Brassica rapa L.), Hunter turnip (Brassica rapa L.), Goliath forage rape (Brassica napus L.) and 4010 forage pea...

Unraveling the Ionic Adsorption and Migration Mechanism of Inverse Opal Capacitive Deionization Electrode

ABSTRACT Developing advanced capacitive deionization electrodes for desalination requires the concurrent enhancement of thermodynamic and kinetic properties. Despite extensive research on improving thermodynamic features represented by adsorption capacity, the investigation on th...

Single-Visit Screening-Positive Blood Pressure Among School-Going Adolescents in Coimbatore, South India: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background Pediatric hypertension is an increasingly recognized cardiovascular risk factor, yet Indian prevalence data using current diagnostic criteria remain scarce outside single-city surveys. This study examined the prevalence and correlates of screening-positive hypertensive...

Exposing Safe Messaging Gaps in YouTube's Mental Health Content

This study analyzed how the ten most-viewed YouTube mental health videos portray tone, symptoms, and resources against WHO safe messaging guidelines and Jorm's mental health literacy framework. Findings show that while most content used destigmatizing framing and accurate resourc...

Corrugator activity reflects integrated simulation and multifaceted evaluation when processing affective language: Frowning responses to reading about emotions of morally good and bad characters

Abstract Corrugator supercilii (“frowning muscle”) activity tracks affective valence of linguistic stimuli. According to embodied cognition accounts, this reflects simulation of the emotion at lexical and/or situational levels. Additionally, it may indicate evaluation, i.e., how...
