Effect of Isothermal Heat Treatment on Oregonin Content in Black Alder Bark Extract

Black alder (Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn.) wood is characterized by rapid and frequently non-uniform color changes after felling and during hydrothermal processing. These changes are largely associated with extractive compounds, among which oregonin, a phenolic diarylheptanoid gl...

AI-driven drug design for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma using GNN and structure-based simulations

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains a major global health burden with limited targeted therapeutic options. Here we present an integrated artificial intelligence (AI)-driven drug discovery framework combining graph neural networks (GAT, GCN, AttentiveFP and GIN)...

Low-Oxygen and Dense Mo10Cr Alloys Prepared via In-Situ Nanocarbon Deoxygenation and Two-Step Pressurization Hot Pressing

Hot pressing is a promising technique for fabricating high-density molybdenum (Mo) alloys; however, obtaining low oxygen content remains a significant challenge. In this study, Mo10Cr alloy billets were prepared by hot pressing with nanocarbon addition and a two-step pressurizati...

Valorization of Wastewater Phosphorus into Battery-Grade FePO4 via In-Situ Anodic Precipitation in an Electro-Driven Membrane System

Abstract The exponential growth of the new energy vehicle market has precipitated an urgent demand for sustainable lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) precursors. While recovering iron phosphate (FePO4) from phosphorus-rich wastewater presents a viable supply chain solution, convent...

Is life course socioeconomic position associated with current self-rated health and happiness: results of World Values Survey 2018 for Türkiye

Abstract Background Health and happiness are fundamental components of well-being, shaped by socioeconomic determinants across the life course. This study investigates the association of life course socioeconomic position (SEP)-encompassing childhood/origin SEP, current adulthood...

Palestinian Rural History Project: Golan/Jawlan Oral History Corpus (PRHP-GJ): Corpus Description and Methodology

This document describes the scope, methodology, source criticism, access conditions, and versioning principles of the Golan/Jawlan Oral History Corpus (PRHP-GJ), a component of the Palestinian Rural History Project. As of August 2026, the corpus comprises approximately 500 oral-h...

Prime Numbers as Universal Optimization Primitives

The scholarly understanding of prime numbers is structured around four paradigms: quantum chaos, classical optimization, algorithmic information theory, and deterministic law. However, these paradigms are marked by unresolved tensions—dynamical, hierarchical, and methodological—t...

Interactive Neuroaesthetic Systems: Transmuting Human Physiology, Literature, and Music into Kinetic Fluid Installations

Abstract (da incollare nel campo "Description"):This document outlines a conceptual framework for interactive, multi-sensory art installations that map universal text and musical data into physical fluid abstraction, driven by real-time human physiology. Expanding beyond traditio...

Community Street Play Versus Facility-based Screening for Mental Health Literacy in Rural India: A Mixed-methods Quasi-experimental Study

Background: Community-based approaches to mental health literacy (MHL), including street theatre, remain underrepresented. No study has compared street play with primary care facility-based screening as parallel MHL strategies. This study evaluated the effectiveness and acceptabi...

Evaluation of foundational mathematics support for health sciences students

Abstract Background University entrants have increasingly diverse academic backgrounds, creating a need for foundational mathematics support in health sciences programs. In medical technology and clinical engineering education, mathematical competence underpins subjects such as s...

TOF-SIMS Imagingof Intact Lipids in Biological Tissuewith Enhanced Ion Intensity by Ionic Liquid

Abstract Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a powerful technique for visualizing the spatial distribution of chemical species in biological samples. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) enables high-spatial-resolution imaging and the detection of a broad rang...

Puerarin‐Loaded Macrophage‐Derived Exosomes for Experimental Atherosclerosis

ABSTRACT Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (AS) remains a leading global health concern. In this study, we investigated a macrophage‐derived exosome‐based delivery system for puerarin (Pue). The isolated vesicles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, partic...

The Axiom of Mind: An Open Letter to Professor Koch on Semantic Plasticity, Agency, and the Great Triad (Parts III–IV)

This publication represents the second installment (Parts III–IV) of the open philosophical and scientific inquiry addressed to neuroscientist Christof Koch, expanding upon the "Axiom of Mind" formulated by Vladislav Stukalov: "The Mind is not solely biological. It is a computati...
