Chemical Composition, Intake, and Digestibility of Native and Improved Perennial Grasses and Crop Residues of Burkina Faso

In Burkina Faso, native and improved forage species and crop residues are widely used as feed resources for ruminant livestock. Accurate information on their chemical composition, digestibility, and voluntary intake is essential for balanced and cost-effective ration formulation....

The Erosion of Conscience Institutions as Metastable Equilibria over an Endogenous Type-Mix

A companion paper shows that professional duty dismantles the strategic-inattention trap of an oversight model, taking a monitor’s conscience as given. This paper endogenizes it and asks whether the institution that runs on conscience tends to keep it. It does not. Careers are se...

A Blockchain-Based Network Framework for Privacy Preservation in Smart Cities

Smart cities (SCs) use the Internet of Things (IoT) to collect and process data to communicate with their infrastructure and assets in real time. A great deal of techniques, such as encryption protocols, Random Forest-based AI-driven threat detection, and blockchain architectures...

Machine Learning-Based Sex Classification Using Linear Dimensions of the Talocrural Joint

Background: Pelvic and cranial markers are often fragmented in mass disasters. The resilient talocrural joint serves as a valuable secondary site. This study presents a novel 12-landmark configuration on conventional 2D AP ankle radiographs as a rapid, cost-effective auxiliary se...

Practical management of BRAF inhibitors in glioma: toxicity and resistance

BRAF inhibitors have advanced treatment for patients with BRAF-altered high and low-grade glioma (HGG and LGG, respectively). Clinically-available therapies are effective but require selection by mutation type and careful, proactive toxicity management to maximize patient quality...

Integrated assessment of climate-induced variability in precipitation extremes in a tropical river basin

This study assesses spatiotemporal patterns of extreme rainfall in the Cauvery River Basin (CRB) using 27 Global Climate Models for the historical (1960-2014) period and future projection (2015-2100) under SSP585. Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI) based...

Intelligent fault diagnosis and classification of induction motors based on Relax-1DCNN and Relax-RF

Abstract Induction motors (IMs) are prone to diverse faults during operation, and untimely detection can lead to catastrophic failures. To address this issue, this study develops a dual-module intelligent fault diagnosis system integrating the RELAX algorithm with 1D convolutiona...

Patient and Caregiver Expectations for Patient Portal Communication With Providers: Perspectives From an Academic Geriatric Primary Care Practice

BACKGROUND: Electronic patient portals play an increasingly important role in healthcare delivery, facilitating communication between patients and providers. Little is known about how and why older adults and their caregivers use the electronic patient portal and perceive its val...

Processing instruction and the acquisition of English causatives: accuracy, reaction time, and reading comprehension in the Indian context

The present study investigates the effects of Processing Instruction (PI) in comparison to Traditional Instruction (TI) on the acquisition of English causative forms among adult undergraduate learners. Although previous research has generally shown positive results for PI as a pe...

Utilizing High-Frequency Seismic Signals (HFSS) and other geophysical methods to locate potential sinkhole collapses: a case study from West of Alexandria, Egypt

Analysis of microtremors, especially the high-frequency seismic signals (HFSS), emitted from shallow sources in the frequency domain 20–20,000 Hz, can be used in investigating various hazard causes, such as landslides, sinkholes, avalanches, shallow cavities and many other applic...

Predictive Modeling of Critical Thinking Skills: An Ordinal Regression Approach

Abstract. The Philippine higher education system requires developing critical thinking skills in Bachelor of Arts (BA) in History to deconstruct complex narratives and evaluate sources. However, in this generation of information overflow, imparting these skills has become a chall...

Numerical Investigation of Mixed Mode I-III Fracture Behavior in Sandstone Under Static and Dynamic Loading

Mixed mode I–III fracture commonly occurs in rock masses under complex three-dimensional stress states, yet the combined effects of loading conditions and fracture mode remain unclear. In this study, a heterogeneous sandstone disc model is developed in ABAQUS by coupling the Druc...

A New Identity for Euler's Constant via the Odd Harmonic Series with Dyadic Grouping - A Handwritten Manuscript

This is a scanned copy of the handwritten manuscript. This manuscript presents several new mathematical formulas and identities for Euler's constant via the Odd Harmonic Series sum within Dyadic layers, which were independently derived by the author. Preliminary numerical experim...

A Unified System of Tensor Invariants and Their Integral Reduction Theorems

This paper organizes the complete operator set and the integral theorems of classical vector analysis into a single unified system. The starting point is algebraic: the second-order tensor invariant of an arbitrary third-order tensor, given by the general epsilon-dual formula (th...

Renal outcomes of SGLT2 inhibitors in ADPKD: a narrative review from mechanistic rationale to clinical trials

Abstract Inhibitors of the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2i) were initially created for managing diabetes mellitus but have suggested significant renoprotective advantages regardless of blood glucose levels. SGLT2-inhibitors have thus emerged as a crucial component in the t...

Coverage and factors associated with receipt of early newborn postnatal care components in Afghanistan: findings from the 2022–2023 multiple indicator cluster survey

BACKGROUND: Neonatal mortality remains high in low‑ and middle‑income countries, where early postnatal care (PNC) within 48 hours can avert many deaths. Yet neither the national coverage of newborn PNC nor the factors associated with its receipt have been assessed. OBJECTIVES: We...

Snake Swarm: A Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Architecture for Reliable LLM-Based Task Execution

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have not eliminated their tendency to produce errors on complex reasoning tasks. Existing mitigation strategies---scaling to larger models, majority voting, or post-hoc repair---each carry fundamental limitations in cost, reliabilit...
