Gut Bacteria Have Their Own Body Clock: 6 Ways Your Microbiome Shapes Your Sleep

Sleep trouble is usually treated as a brain problem, stress, screens, caffeine, but a growing body of research points to a second, less obvious factor: the trillions of bacteria living in the gut. This article traces that connection in plain, story-led terms for a general reader....

Optimization of FDM process parameters for ABS components: Effects on printing time, part weight, and vibrational loss factor using Integrated TOPSIS-CoCoSo and decision tree approaches

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) has been widely studied for the manufacture of light-weight polymer components. However, the process parameter selection significantly effects the production efficiency, material consumption and vibration damping performance. In the present study,...

Multi-scale Feature Fusion with Structural Re-parameterization for Lightweight Defect Detection in Power Systems with Embodied Intelligence Perception

The reliable detection of defects in power system equipment with embodied intelligent perception is critical for ensuring operational safety and enabling autonomous monitoring. Traditional methods often struggle with low detection accuracy on specific defect types such as small-s...

Lessons learned from implementing a PMO in complex military S&T organisations: an ethnographic study

Purpose This study aims to examine how lessons learned from implementing a project management office (PMO) in a defence research, development and innovation (R&D&I) institution generate tangible benefits (efficiency, standardisation) and intangible gains (legitimacy, trus...

Changing flow regime of a Cairngorm river: identifying emerging patterns and potential drivers from long-term data

Climate change will alter patterns of landscape water movement and resulting streamflow generation processes, as precipitation and evapotranspiration dynamics change. Given their altitude and latitude, Scottish Cairngorm rivers are amongst Europe’s most sensitive to such alterati...

LAB #1128 PROMISING: TG AUTO: BASE 44 ORDER: Apply E8 root-vector PLL to signal pipeline: map 240 vectors, filter eToro s — E8 Intelligence Research

Toward a Theory of Viability Domains: Formalization of Viability Domains, Constraints, and the Harmony Norm

This article proposes the next stage in the formalization of Vitology following the development of the comparative methodology introduced in G15: a transition from the general concept of viability toward a research candidate for a Theory of Viability Domains. The central idea is...

Application of in vitro digestion and dialysability procedure for bioavailability evaluation of toxic elements in green leafy vegetables: a realistic health risk assessment by Monte Carlo simulation

Green leafy vegetables (GLVs), which are vital and widely consumed worldwide, require monitoring for contaminants, including toxic elements (TEs). This study measured total concentrations (TC) and bioavailable concentrations (BC) of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), chromium...

Comparison of the efficacy of self-gripping mesh and sutured mesh in lichtenstein inguinal hernia repair: a meta-analysis and GRADE assessment

Lichtenstein inguinal hernia repair is a common surgical procedure. Self-gripping mesh, a novel mesh that does not require suturing, has emerged as a potential alternative to traditional sutured mesh. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy differences between self-gripping and...

Solar‐Driven Photothermal Manufacturing of Defect‐Rich Oxide Interfaces for Biomass Electrocatalysis

ABSTRACT Defect‐rich metal oxides are central to sustainable electrocatalysis, yet conventional heat treatment is generally constrained by thermodynamic equilibrium, limiting precise control over defect chemistry while requiring substantial energy input. Here, we establish a sola...

A Critical Examination of the Equivalence of Inertial Reference Frames

Previously, in the article “Electrodynamics in the Andaza Hypothesis,” I attempted to show how the concepts of electrodynamics should be constructed within the framework of the Andaza Hypothesis and that the laws of electrodynamics, in their present form, require modification. Th...

Reconfigurable Photonic Circuit for On-Chip Optical Routing with Engineered Si-ITO Platform

Abstract Reconfigurable photonic circuits are essential for programmable optical signal processing and high-speed optical interconnects; however, achieving compact and electrically tunable routing elements with low optical loss remains a major challenge in integrated photonics. W...

A clinico-radiomic nomogram for preoperative prediction of guideline-defined indications for postoperative adjuvant therapy in early-stage cervical cancer

To develop and validate an integrated clinico-radiomic nomogram for the preoperative prediction of guideline-defined indications for postoperative adjuvant therapy in patients with FIGO stage IB–IIA cervical cancer. A total of 200 patients who underwent radical hysterectomy were...

Gut Microbiota Is Linked to Female Olfactory Preference in Giant Pandas

Mate choice can vary with internal condition, but whether gut microbial variation is associated with female mate-choice-related olfactory preferences remains poorly understood. In this study, we tested whether dietary dried yeast supplementation was associated with changes in gut...

Interrogating the future of Puerto Rican studies

Puerto Rico has received renewed international attention over the past decade, propelled by a series of compounding disasters. From journalists and academics to activists and global music icons suc...
