Monetary Dynamics and Inflation Persistence: A Machine Learning Approach Applied to Turkey

This study re-assesses the root causes of inflation through an innovative hybrid analytical framework integrating deep neural networks, random forest algorithms, and causal inference (DoWhy) within the Quantity-Theoretical Inflation Theory, using monthly data from Turkey for the...

Digital amnesia: The aftermath of a screenshot

Abstract The photo-taking impairment effect is the finding that memory is worse for photographed information compared with information that is merely viewed. Recently, this effect has been extended to smartphone screenshots, suggesting that the effect is related to digital captur...

On the Asymptotic Algebraic Entropy of Singular Words in Infinite Non-Abelian Braid Groups: A Refined Non-Trivial Limit via Dynamic Specialization

We resolve the trivial algebraic collapse inherent in static root-of-unity specializations of the Lawrence-Krammer-Bigelow (LKB) representation by introducing a dynamic, double-variable asymptotic harmonic boundary condition. Let B_n be the Artin braid group on n strands. For eac...

A Sequential Markov Probabilistic Aggregation Algorithm for Causal Emergence in Markov Aggregation

Causal emergence (CE) is a phenomenon in which macrodynamics provide better effective information (EI) than microdynamics. The CE is widely used as the objective function in Markov aggregation. The existing works focus on deterministic aggregation, which may not offer a good solu...

E8-Phi Resonant Memory Encoding via Coxeter Plane Holography — E8 Intelligence Research

By leveraging the phi-scaled torsional solitons across the 240-root E8 lattice driven at 132Hz, information can be encoded in the relative phase braiding patterns between orthogonal Coxeter planes. The non-abelian holonomy of these phase-locked solitons creates a holographic memo...

Generation of Non-Gaussian Rough Surfaces Using a PSD-Amplitude-Constrained Phase C-VAE

The non-Gaussian height distribution and power spectral density (PSD) characteristics of rough surfaces have significant effects on the real contact area, local pressure distribution, oil-film formation, and friction and wear behavior of lubricated contact interfaces in mechanica...

An exploratory patient-specific finite element study of temporomandibular joint stress distribution following mandibular setback surgery in two distinct clinical scenarios

Mandibular setback surgery is commonly performed to correct skeletal Class III malocclusion, but its effects on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) biomechanics remain unclear, particularly regarding different setback configurations. This pilot study aimed to explore patterns of TMJ st...

Study on the Seismic Performance of Prefabricated Walls Under the Synergistic Effect of Different Connection Methods and Low-Carbon Materials

Dry-connected prefabricated composite walls have been increasingly used in steel structures owing to the development of building industrialization and the demand for rapid and efficient construction. However, the respective influences of dry-connection configuration and wall pane...

An iguratimod prodrug reduces RA-FLS invasiveness by disrupting STAT1–C3–TNFα-mediated crosstalk between fibroblast-like synoviocytes and macrophages

Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is driven in part by hyperactivated fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) that invade articular structures. Iguratimod (IGU), a conventional synthetic DMARD, is clinically effective, but its direct molecular target and impact on synovial cell-cel...

Current Evidence on Best Practice Dental Survivorship Care for People With Head and Neck Cancer: An Overview of Systematic Reviews and Emerging Evidence

INTRODUCTION: Head and neck cancer (HNC) survival is improving, increasing the need to address long-term survivorship issues. Dental survivorship-care before, during, and after treatment-remains inconsistent across services. We conducted a review of systematic reviews and emergin...

Global Realism: Spacetime Vacuum as the Unique Physical Reality and Quantum Mechanics as Its Topological Dynamics

We propose a unified physical framework in which four-dimensional spacetime vacuum is the unique physical reality, and all quanta are its localized topological excitations. Matter particles correspond to stable knot-like configurations, while radiation quanta correspond to weak p...

Accurate and Robust Roe-Type Scheme for Multicomponent Chemical Reaction Flows

Over the past few decades, the numerical shock instability of the Roe scheme has remained a subject of intensive study in computational fluid dynamics, with extensive research efforts dedicated to investigating its mechanisms and developing effective strategies to mitigate the in...

Occlusion Removal in Remote Sensing Images Based on Deep Matrix Completion

Remote sensing images are frequently degraded by occlusions and missing observations, which significantly affect subsequent interpretation and analysis. Matrix completion provides an effective solution for recovering incomplete data; however, existing deep learning-based approach...

Looking for a Fight: Patrons in the Know

Painting the most important ceremonial room in the Vatican in oil was not a painter's private decision. Someone approved it, and someone paid for it. This installment follows the money and the men: the Medici court that had retaken Florence and with it Leonardo's unfinished battl...

Deterministic Language Architecture: A Formal Category Definition and Architectural Specification for Non-Probabilistic Language Generation Systems

Canon³ — The Lume Synthetic Organism Canon (L-SOC) Language Architecture Volume I. This paper formally defines Deterministic Language Architecture (DLA) — a new category of language generation system in which output is governed by deterministic architecture rather than probabilis...

Contractile morning glory disc anomaly associated with total retinal detachment: a case report

Morning glory disc anomaly is a rare congenital optic nerve head malformation. The contractile variant, characterized by rhythmic pulsatile movement of the optic disc, is exceptionally uncommon, and detailed documentation of its dynamic features using multimodal imaging remains l...

Reduction of Some Polluting Metals in Contaminated Mining and Metallurgical Land

This study analyzed the content of polluting and toxic elements (Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd and Pb) in the cadastral municipalities immediately surrounding the mining and metallurgical complex Bor in Serbia. The soil is exposed to hazardous substances due to historical pollution. Soi...

Ownership concentration and operational efficiency in emerging markets: the moderating role of market volatility

This study examines the relationship between ownership concentration, stock price volatility, and firm-level operational efficiency in an emerging market using a sample of 86 Saudi-listed firms from 2016 to 2023. To address potential endogeneity, the analysis employs instrumental...

Examination of image conditions using multiway analysis of variance for predicting high-crash-risk intersections with image recognition AI

Traffic crashes on residential roads in Japan have declined only marginally in recent years, indicating a stagnation in safety improvements. A key challenge is the early identification of high‑risk intersections, yet existing image‑based prediction studies have not statistically...

CCA2-Secure Unidirectional Proxy Re-encryption from Cryptographic Group Actions

Proxy re-encryption (PRE) allows a semi-trusted party (called a proxy) to transform ciphertexts under one user's public key into ciphertexts under another user's public key, without revealing any information about the underlying messages or the secret keys. On the other hand, pos...
