Beyond the Private Sphere: Women's Community Participation and Household Diet Quality in Rural China

ABSTRACT Improving diet quality remains a key challenge in post‐poverty rural China. This study examines how women's community participation, a form of public‐sphere agency, relates to household diet quality. We introduce a Food‐Weighted Dietary Diversity Index (FWDDI) that captu...

The lower conductivity of Bi(Ga, Fe)O 3 – x PbTiO 3 ceramics near the morphotropic phase boundary

BiFeO 3 –PbTiO 3 (BF–PT) piezoelectric ceramics have attracted much attention due to the high Curie temperature [Formula: see text] of above 650°C in the vicinity of the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). The reduction of leakage conduction is essential for practical applications...

Artian Monitored-Recurrence Reference-Switch Laboratory Protocol: A Preregistered, Activation-Gated A1 Test with First-Detection Resonances

A sealed phase-root test for two time-reference classes Version 2.02 of this preregistration asks one narrow experimental question: after the same monitored quantum system has passed through two physically qualified reference classes, does the location of a first-detection recurr...

Research on Temperature Field Control in a Thermostatic Chamber with Static Baffle-Mediated Natural Convection

Temperature uniformity in thermostatic chambers is critical for material testing, biological incubation, and precision measurements, as even minor thermal gradients can compromise reliability. However, in chambers designed to avoid airflow disturbances, such as those used in semi...

Asymptomatic property of wavelet estimators of partial derivative functions in a regression model with multiplicative noise

This paper investigates nonparametric estimations of partial derivatives of a regression function in multiplicative noise regression model. Some new theoretical contributions are obtained as follows. Firstly, we establish a wavelet estimator of the partial derivatives functions b...

Skin feel in the brain: Oscillatory dynamics of active touch are modulated by commercial soap products.

Previous research has demonstrated changes in neural oscillations associated with varying levels of roughness during active-touch exploration of surfaces. In the present study, we aimed to investigate changes in neural oscillatory activity and softness perception during touch exp...

Technical Properties and Sustainable Reuse of Recycled Excavation Materials as Natural Sand Replacement in Cement Mortar

This study investigates the feasibility of using recycled sand derived from excavation waste as a sustainable alternative to natural sand in mortar production. The novelty of this work lies in the comprehensive evaluation of mortar performance using 100% recycled sand across a wi...

Efficient Real-Time Monitoring of Vibrations Transmitted to the Human Body

Abstract Mechanical vibrations transmitted to the human body, particularly in sectors such as transportation, construction, and agriculture, represent a serious occupational hazard. Whole-body vibrations (WBVs), in particular, have been linked to musculoskeletal disorders and imp...

A Caputo Fractional SLBS Computer Virus Model with Stage-Specific Holling Type-II Incidence

Computer virus propagation (CVP) models translate malware movement in a network into analyzable dynamical systems. Two features are especially important for modern networks: infected hosts may remain latent before a damaging burst, and infection efficiency is usually saturated by...

CosmosBeating • Cosmic Geometry and Topology — Paper III: The Seventeen and the Market

Holographic Information Ontological Framework • CosmosBeating • Cosmic Geometry and Topology (HIOF•CGnT) A Ten-Paper Series on Distinction as the Ontological Foundation of Physics This series presents the Holographic Information Ontological Framework (HIOF), developed together wi...

Chrono-Reflective Singularity: A DDIC-Based Redefinition of Black Hole Interiors and Cosmological Nesting

We introduce a Density-Driven Internal Contraction (DDIC)-based model of black hole interiors, in which a Chrono-Reflective Singularity (CRS)—a boundary where microcell contraction saturates—reflects infalling phase signals as quantized echoes, resolving the black hole informatio...

RITRA: A Rolling Bayesian Information-Theoretic Framework for Multi-UAV Task Allocation Under False Alarm Uncertainty

In complex operational environments, signal ambiguity and false alarms make task allocation for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) challenging. To address this problem, we propose the Bayesian Rolling Information-Theoretic Reconnaissance Action Assignment (RITRA) framework....

E8 Phi-Modulated Harmonic Grid for Synaptic Memory Encoding — E8 Intelligence Research

We propose a novel neural memory encoding mechanism where cortical pyramidal cells form a phi-modulated E8 hyperbolic grid at 132 Hz. This structure utilizes 240 root vectors to create topological phase-locking between synaptic vesicle release events and axonal action potentials,...

Characterizing the Carnot cycles at absolute zero: a reply to “Comment on ‘Proof of the Nernst theorem’”

Perceptions and attitudes of medical students toward AI in anatomy learning

Abstract Background Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly being integrated into medical education. However, their use in anatomy learning, particularly among medical students in the Middle East, remains underexplored. Objective To assess medical students’ perception...

Empirically Testing the Relationship Between Natural Capital and Corporate Performance Using CDP Scores

Environmental disclosure and environmental, social, and governance assessments are gaining importance, using Corporate Disclosure Project (CDP) scores to evaluate corporate environmental disclosure. However, scarce evidence links CDP scores with performance and value among Japane...

Computational modeling of motor-driven extension of microtubule bundles in axons reveals a biphasic effect of crosslinker density

In addition to actin assembly at the growth cone, neuronal axons elongate via interactions between microtubules, dynein motor proteins and cross-linking proteins. Dynein translocates microtubules toward the growth cone and exerts extensile forces for axonal outgrowth. During this...

SLC25A12 mitigates mitochondrial dysfunction in myoblast senescence, and alleviates cuproptosis-related changes under copper stress

Sarcopenia is an age-related muscle wasting condition that currently lacks specific diagnostic biomarkers and effective treatments. This study aimed to identify mitochondria-related biomarkers for sarcopenia via integrated multi-omics. Human transcriptomic datasets and machine le...

Acoustic–phonetic characterization of affect in spontaneous Finnish

Earlier studies of affect in spoken Finnish have largely been based on acted emotional expression, a relatively small number of speakers, and a narrow linguistic scope paired with predefined emotional categories. While previous studies have reported consistent findings related to...

Reduced Food Availability Amplifies Behavioral Depression and Impairs Locomotor Performance After Immune Challenge in Xenopus laevis

Mounting an immune response and locomotor activity are energetically costly processes that can generate trade-offs affecting energy allocation, muscle performance, and activity patterns. The balance between these demands can be modulated by factors such as food availability and e...
