High-Voltage Sodium–MetalBatteries with AsymmetricFluoroalkoxylated Organoborate Anion Chemistry

Abstract The high reactivity of sodium (Na) metal restricts its compatibility to ether-based electrolytes, while the poor oxidative stability of ethers precludes their coupling to high-voltage cathodes, fundamentally limiting the operating voltage and energy density of sodium–met...

The Cosmochrony Research Programme: A Structural Roadmap and Paper Inventory

The Cosmochrony programme develops a pre-geometric framework in which physical structure — spacetime, quantum mechanics, gauge symmetry, and Standard Model observables — arises from a single primitive: the local structure of admissible non-injective transitions between observable...

Evaluation of the Relative Citation Ratio Versus the H-Index as Measures of Citation-Based Scholarly Influence in Academic Neurosurgery

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Evaluating citation-based scholarly influence among academic faculty is foundational to academic medicine, as retention, promotion, and tenure to govern career advancement at every level. The h-index has been the standard metric across fields, including...

Online Detection and Grading of Tomato External Quality Based on Machine Vision

Abstract Tomato shape and mass are key indicators for external quality evaluation, while manual inspection is inefficient and subjective. This study proposes an online method for tomato external quality detection and grading based on machine vision. Images of 1,000 tomato samples...

Reuse, but Verify: Certified Maintenance of LLM-Computed Table Cells under Prompt Edits

AI-native tables let users define columns in natural language: each cell is computed by a language model from a versioned prompt over its row. When the prompt is edited, deployed systems face a choice: recompute every cell, which is expensive and rate-limited, or silently reuse s...

Combined photovoltaic and thermal enhancements of solar photovoltaic system using SiO2 and Al2O3 nanoparticle-enhanced paraffin wax phase change material

This study addresses the reduction in electrical efficiency and power output caused by elevated operating temperatures in Solar Photovoltaic Thermal (SPVT) panels by implementing an effective cooling approach to enhance energy yield and overall system performance. The study exper...

Beyond Consensus — Dialogue, Corrigibility, and the Responsibility to Respond

Dialogue is often judged by whether it produces agreement. This essay proposes a different criterion: whether the relational field becomes more truthful, corrigible, and capable of responsible response. It distinguishes four thresholds — hearing, recognition, assent, and action —...

Real-World Safety Profile of Adjuvant Abemaciclib in HR+/HER2− Early Breast Cancer

Background/Objectives: Treatment with adjuvant abemaciclib plus endocrine therapy (ET) has been demonstrated to improve outcomes in patients with HR+/HER2- early breast cancer at high risk of recurrence. However, real-world data regarding abemaciclib tolerability and treatment ma...

Dynamics of germ cell development in the bovine fetal ovary

Abstract This study offers a comprehensive description of germ cell development in the bovine ovary across a 95-day period between embryonic days 45–140, corresponding to the critical window between gonadal colonization by primordial germ cells and the establishment of the ovaria...

Diosmin Attenuates Age-Associated Vascular Oxidative Stress and Endothelial Dysfunction in Aged Rats

Vascular aging is driven by a self-sustaining interplay between oxidative stress and chronic low-grade inflammation, collectively referred to as inflammaging. Diosmin, a citrus-derived flavonoid with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, has not previously been investigat...

The Closing Technological Window: AI-Accelerated Search, Recursive Industrial Closure, and the Finite Horizon of Planet-Dependent Civilizations

This paper develops a unified dynamical model for the transition of a planet-dependent biological technological civilization into an autonomously reproducible technological lineage. The critical transition is defined not as crewed spaceflight or settlement, but as recursive indus...

Low Nox Hydrogen Combustion Testing In High Steam Environment For Future Aeroengine Concept

Abstract This paper reports high-pressure tests of hydrogen combustion in a steam-air mixture representing the hot-section working fluid of a Hydrogen Steam-Injected Intercooled Turbine Engine (HySIITE). The HySIITE concept targets 35% efficiency improvement in comparison with to...

24-Dimensional Orthogonal Framework for Fitting Microscopic Particles

Abstract: This paper presents a geometric model based on a 24-dimensional orthogonal framework for fitting microscopic particles. The model employs only a very small number of discrete parameters to calculate the masses of 15 elementary particles and 15 composite particles, yield...

Enhancing the solubility of puerarin via melt sonocrystallization

In this work, in order to improve the low solubility and poor oral bioavailability of puerarin, we first applied melt sonocrystallization (MSC) technology to systematically investigate the effects on its solubility and crystallographic properties. We applied MSC to treat puerarin...

Optimal FBG Sensor Layout Assessment for Accurate Structural Feature Recognition of Composite Plates

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are increasingly used in aerospace, rail transportation, and energy engineering owing to their high specific strength and corrosion resistance. However, their complex and interacting damage mechanisms, including delamination and m...

Nickel-Catalyzed Enantio- and Regioconvergent Synthesis of Allyl Aryl Thioethers from α- or γ-Silylated Allylic Chlorides

An enantio- and regioconvergent allylic substitution of non-symmetrical 1,3-disubstituted allylic chlorides with thiophenols under nickel catalysis is reported. The use of 18-crown-6 as an additive is crucial for obtaining good yields. Despite competing uncatalyzed nucleophilic d...

High-dose dexmedetomidine versus dexamethasone supplementation to interscalene brachial plexus block in arthroscopic shoulder surgery: A randomized, controlled trial

Background In this double-blind, randomized controlled trial, we compared the efficacy of perineural 2 µg/kg dexmedetomidine and 5 mg dexamethasone as adjuvants to bupivacaine for postoperative pain control in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery. We hypothesized tha...

Piezo1 Mechanotransduction in Skeletal Muscle: Convergence with Noncoding RNA Regulation in Myogenesis, Regeneration, and Sarcopenia

Skeletal muscle is a continuously load-bearing tissue whose growth, repair, and age-related decline are governed by mechanical signals; failure of this mechano-regulation underlies disuse atrophy and sarcopenia. Piezo1, a mechanically activated cation channel, has emerged as a tr...

Results of the meeting of the Interdisciplinary Expert Council on an integrated approach to the management of peri- and postmenopausal women with psycho-emotional and neurological disorders

The reduction in sex hormone levels during the menopausal period substantially impacts patients' quality of life and serves as a significant risk factor for psycho-emotional disorders. Current clinical guidelines from both Russian and international sources recognize menopausal ho...

Hemodynamic, neurological, and cognitive outcomes after surgical revascularisation in occlusive cerebrovascular disease: Study protocol for single-arm interventional cohort study

Background Chronic carotid artery occlusive disease is associated with a high risk of ischemic events and long-term neurological deficits. Optimising surgical revascularisation outcomes requires an integrated understanding of anatomical, hemodynamic, and functional factors. This...
