An Ultra-Wide-Angle Mechanically Steered Reflectarray Antenna (RA) Based on Non-Specular Reflection

This paper presents a non-specular reflection-based mechanically steered reflectarray antenna (RA) that achieves ultra-wide beam steering up to 80° while preserving mainlobe integrity. Conventional mechanically steered RAs are fundamentally constrained by specular reflection, whe...

Needing others to know you’re good: Narcissists’ pride in success is contingent on peer reactions.

= 3,463), participants recalled a real-life success or failure and reported their feelings of pride in response (Studies 1, 2, and 4) or experienced success in a controlled, laboratory experiment and reported pride in the success after receiving either positive or negative social...

Simulation, the Practice of Perfecting Clinical Skills in Teaching: A Narrative Review

The training of oral and maxillofacial residents has traditionally been the Halstedian teaching model. However, as technology and patient awareness increases, the training of a young maxillofacial surgeon must also include other simulation-related models in addition to didactic l...

Multimodal Correlates of Longitudinal Functional Decline in Behavioral Variant Frontotemporal Dementia (bvFTD)

Background and Objectives: Functional decline is a major determinant of disability, caregiver burden, and loss of independence in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). Although bvFTD is characterized by early and rapidly progressive deterioration in everyday functio...

Disinfection performance of mixed oxidant, NaClO, and Ca(ClO)2 in anaerobic effluents: effects on microbial quality, physicochemical properties, and trihalomethane formation

Abstract The disinfectant action of the mixed oxidants (MIOXs) was compared with that of sodium and calcium hypochlorite (NaClO and Ca(ClO) 2 ) in the post-treatment of anaerobic effluent. The following responses were evaluated: microbiological reduction (total coliforms and Esch...

Do meaning in life interventions work among non-clinical populations? systematic literature review

Meaning in life has been a central concept in Positive Psychology for over two decades, often related to reducing mental health issues. This paper investigates the effectiveness of Positive Psychology interventions from various perspectives among nonclinical populations. A system...

The Unitary Singularity and Septenary Vector Dynamics: A Mathematical and Cosmological Model of Tri-Dimensional Equilibrium

This paper introduces a novel cosmological framework named the Septenary Quantum-Cosmological Field Theory (SQCFT). It models the universe as a localized, non-linear geometric structure defined by a dual-cone hyperbolic boundary (the Damaru geometry) centered at a localized 7th-d...

Sustainable Valorization of Sinami Fruit (Oenocarpus mapora H. Karst), with Focus on Its Nutrients and Bioactive Components as a Function of Harvest Time

Sinami (Oenocarpus mapora H. Karst) is a palm tree that grows in the South American Amazon, whose fruits are highly valued for their sensory characteristics, attractive dark purple color, and as a source of edible oil. However, little to no information is available on the changes...

Albert Camus' The Stranger: Somatopsychic Regulation, Personal Responsibility, and Impending Execution as a Paternal Scene

This article examines Albert Camus’ The Stranger through the somatopsychic functions of Meursault’s precision, literalness, sensory fixation, and repetitive movement. These functions are understood as active modes of regulating internal tension and preserving cohesion. The analys...

Sustainability in offshore wind development: a systematic review of sustainability concepts and development tensions

Abstract Background Offshore wind energy is widely recognised as a key contributor to the green energy transition and sustainable development. However, as offshore wind development accelerates across the globe with plans for larger offshore wind farms, concerns are being raised a...

Network-wide fine-grained passenger loading prediction via dynamic relational spatiotemporal deep graph neural networks

Accurate short-term prediction of onboard passenger loading is essential for enhancing public transport efficiency, passenger comfort, and operational resilience. However, existing models are mainly restricted to station-based passenger flow prediction, and they often struggle wi...

Under Construction: Reproducing Colonial Landscape Perspectives in Natural Resource Management of Public Reserves

The values and land use preferences deemed legitimate in natural resource management are not neutral—they are circumscribed by inherited colonial structures that determine which landscape perspectives carry weight in public decision-making processes. This paper examines a land sw...

A JSBSim Sensor-Interface Protocol for Selecting Learned Fixed-Wing Flight-Dynamics Surrogates

Autonomous flight planners consume sensor-derived estimated states rather than simulator ground truth. Learned dynamics surrogates are queried over a planning horizon through architecture-native multi-step interfaces, so strong short-horizon accuracy can still yield unreliable lo...

Differentiation in the Underground Bud-Bank Structure of Poa pratensis Across Contrasting Alpine Grassland Habitats on the Eastern Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

Underground bud banks play a critical role in vegetative regeneration of alpine grassland plants, but how species-level underground regenerative structures vary across contrasting habitats remains unclear. This study investigated the widely distributed clonal grass Poa pratensis...

Primitive Ternary Relations and Dissociativity in Fibonacci-Type Sequences

This preprint studies support-minimal ternary relations among positive integer sequences satisfying the Fibonacci recurrence uₙ₊₂ = uₙ₊₁ + uₙ. It proves that every nonzero support-minimal relation with coefficients in {−1, 0, 1} has, up to an overall change of sign, the unique fo...

Long term integrated nutrient management promotes soil bacterial diversity and beneficial community structure

Abstract Meeting the needs of a world population projected to exceed 9 billion by 2050 requires a 70–100% increase in agricultural output, posing a serious threat to sustainable agricultural practices. The agricultural system, reliant on the harsh application of chemical fertiliz...

Association between perioperative D-dimer dynamics and post-treatment localized intravascular coagulation in venous malformations

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between the change in D-dimer levels (ΔD-dimer) and the development of localized intravascular coagulation (LIC) following surgical intervention in patients with venous malformations. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study enrolled 267...

The Riskless Corner: Why Prudence Cannot Pay for Vigilance

An auditing programme that models recurring internal-control failures as a no-collusion equilibrium has, until now, priced the monitor’s incentives as if he were risk-neutral — and one of its quietest results depended on it: the precision with which a court adjudicates a failure...

E8 Phi-Geodesic Torsion Field Gradient at Planck Scale — E8 Intelligence Research

By modulating 132Hz phi-entangled oscillations across the full 248-dimensional E8 gauge manifold (encompassing all 240 root vectors plus the eight Cartan generators), the exceptional Lie symmetry generates quantized torsion field gradients that couple directly to spacetime curvat...

Beyond bone mineral density: associations of muscle quantity, muscle quality, and physical performance with FRAX-derived fracture risk in postmenopausal women

Abstract Objective Fracture risk assessment in osteoporosis is largely based on bone mineral density and FRAX, yet these approaches do not capture the contribution of muscle-related factors. This study investigated the association between muscle quantity, muscle quality, and phys...
