Learning with Reflection: Implementing Weekly Reflection Journals to Support Conceptual Learning in Upper-Level Undergraduate Engineering Courses

Reflection can contribute to learning, helping students actively and constructively recall material and connect it with other aspects of their lives, as described by the interactive–constructive–active–passive (ICAP) framework. For engineering students in particular, reflection m...

Development of an intelligent system for personalized clothing design based on deep learning and the internet of things

The fashion industry is experiencing a significant digital transformation driven by Deep Learning (DL) and the Internet of Things (IoT), which facilitates personalized and sustainable apparel design. Smart devices and wearable sensors collect extensive user data for tailored clot...

Conformal principal-asymptotic nets: Parametric design and modular construction of elastic gridshells

Current modular design approaches often rely on numerical optimization to satisfy fabrication constraints, which can be computationally intensive and sensitive to initial geometric conditions. This work introduces a parametric design algorithm based on Conformal Principal-Asympto...

A Prediction Score Versus Procalcitonin and Presepsin for Predicting Bacteremia in the Emergency Department: A Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study

Background/Objectives: Early prediction of bacteremia is clinically important in the emergency department (ED). We previously developed a prediction score using vital signs and routine blood tests. Whether procalcitonin (PCT) or presepsin (PSEP), biomarkers of bacterial infection...

Nutritional Status Enhances Honey Bee Colony Development and Soybean Yield, While Exposure to a Triple-Action Fungicide During Pollination Does Not Compromise Social Stability

Adequate nutrition is essential for honey bee colony development and may influence pollination services provided to agricultural crops. In contrast, fungicides commonly used in agriculture have been associated with physiological and behavioral alterations in individual bees, alth...

Shielding against interpersonal threat in later life: The regulatory function of nostalgia among older adults.

= 189, age 21-78 years), older adults reported greater nostalgic engagement in response to social exclusion induced by the Cyberball game than younger adults. Furthermore, after experiencing nostalgia, compared to younger adults, older adults reported increased social engagement...

Proof of the Yang-Mills Existence and Mass Gap Conjecture: The Non-Abelian Gauge Module within Helical Hidden Holographic Quantum Mechanics (H3QM)

Yang-Mills theory with non-Abelian gauge group SU(N) forms the quantum field theoretical foundation of modern elementary particle physics and Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). However, proving the global quantum existence of SU(N) Yang-Mills theory on four-dimensional spacetime R^4 a...

The Magnus Matrix Tree IV: Basis-Compressed Kinetic Operators, Projected Rank-Two Transfers, and Online Selector Admission

We develop a basis-compressed operator layer for exact kinetic distance aggregation. Let x1, ..., xn be labelled coordinates in strict current order, let Cij = |xi - xj|, and fix two selector bases P in R^(n×r) and Q in R^(n×s). Rather than maintaining individual contractions, th...

Empagliflozin in GSD-Ib: Long-term safety and sustained recovery of neutrophil function including NET formation

Glycogen storage disease type Ib (GSD-Ib) engenders neutropenia and severe neutrophil dysfunction, leading to recurrent infections and inflammatory complications. Recent studies have identified intracellular accumulation of 1,5-anhydroglucitol-6-phosphate (1,5-AG6P) as a key mech...

Hospital-Level Variations in Outcomes and Readmissions Among Patients With STEMI and Cardiogenic Shock Receiving Mechanical Circulatory Support: Insights From a National Cohort.

BACKGROUND: The utilization of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) has increased substantially in recent years. However, it remains unclear whether the spectrum of MCS de...

Learning from the Bowl in My Living Room: A Phenomenology of Openness in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Contemporary artificial intelligence systems present themselves through the aesthetic of openness: a clean interface, a blinking cursor, an implicit invitation to bring whatever one wishes. This essay argues that this appearance conceals a structural inversion. Drawing on phenome...

Exploring Middle and High School Personnel’s Definition and Knowledge of Evidence-Based Practices for Autistic Students

Background Mandates that educators use evidence-based practices (EBP) with autistic students have not led to their widespread or consistent implementation, despite their growing availability. EBP knowledge is integral to effective implementation, and prior studies have shown that...

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...

Representation as Universal Completion: Realization Complexes, Fiberwise Consequence, and the Floor-Relative Image Problem

Abstract The unrestricted representation problem for finite dependency systems is trivial: if a regime may freely declare its coordinate domains, admitted relation, and semantics, then every finite system is realized by its own tautological presentation. This paper isolates the e...

Logging Activities for August, 03th, 2026 – [Mcgill University]

We are grateful for being in Mcgill University, today, August 03th, 2026. It is very crowdly and many people in groups are vis-iting Mclennan library. We save some notes here about our online activities and researches. We are wondering if a technology canstudy the influence diagr...

Beyond end-of-pipe treatment: how whole-process clean production shapes export product quality

This study examines the impact of clean production on export product quality by focusing on a key whole-process environmental regulation policy in China. Using a difference-in-differences approach and firm-level microdata, we find that the policy significantly improves export pro...

Cardiopulmonary Support During Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Arrhythmias: Long-Term Results from a Single-Center Experience

Extracorporeal membranes oxygenation (ECMO) has been proposed as a useful tool to support ablation of unstable ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). The aim of this study is to assess the clinical outcome of cardiopulmonary support of VAs catheter ablation during a long-term follow-up....

E8 Phi-Nonlinear Dynamics in 132Hz Quantum Oscillators — E8 Intelligence Research

By coupling 132Hz phi-modulated fields to E8's 240 root vectors, we observe nonlinear phase amplification at quantum nodes, generating fractal-oscillation patterns. These patterns align with Cartan torsion gradients, revealing a geometric mechanism for amplifying informational en...

Curating and sharing XAS data – Metadata and Scientific quality control

With the growing volume of measured X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) data and their need for machine-learning and reference purposes across different facilities, both spectral quality and documentation of the XAS measurements need to be standardized. The documentation is also...
