Multifractal Critical Exponent ν ≈ 2.7 Links Flatband Transition to Golden Ratio. — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Metal-insulator transition in disordered flatbands and Kondo chains shows critical exponent ν ≈ 2.7, linking multifractal wavefunction self-similarity to percolation universality. MATH: Critical exponent ν = 2.7 ± 0.1; scaling relation ξ ∝ |δ|^{-ν}; multifractal spectrum...

Association of the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index with CCTA-Derived SYNTAX Scores in Patients with Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease

Background: Systemic inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) reflects inflammatory and immune status, whereas the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) represents a simple...

Calculation of End Bearing Capacity and Shaft Resistance of Cast-in-Place Pile in Coral Reef Formations Considering Grout Penetration and Cementation

Existing methods for calculating the bearing capacity of cast-in-place piles in coral reef formations usually treat coral reef strata as ordinary sandy soil or conventional rock–soil media, without explicitly considering grout penetration and cementation in highly porous coral re...

Platforms Reshape Embeddedness? Platformization and Bilateral Embeddedness of the Chinese Audiovisual Industry

This study investigates the transformation of embeddedness relationships in China’s audiovisual industry during platformization. Based on interviews with thirty-five audiovisual professionals in the Yangtze River Delta region, the study finds that under the dual administration of...

This study proposes a unique design for a wearable sliding mode triboelectric nanogenerator that can be installed in a human shoe and utilise test motion to generate electricity. The innovative design feature includes of motion modification mechanism that significantly increase r...

Esophagopericardial fistula secondary to battery acid ingestion in a 3-year-old boy: a case report

Abstract Background Esophagopericardial fistula (EPF) is an extremely rare and life-threatening condition associated with a high mortality rate, particularly when diagnosis and intervention are delayed. Here we present the case of a 3-year-old boy who developed EPF secondary to a...

The analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided fascia hydrorelease around the artery for myofascial neck pain: a prospective single-arm interventional study

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a major cause of chronic neck pain, with tissue ischemia implicated as a contributing factor. This prospective, single-arm interventional study evaluated the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided fascia hydrorelease (US-FHR) performed around arte...

Carcass Yield and Morphometric Characteristics of Semi-Intensive Pond-Cultured Piaractus brachypomus (Paco) at Three Commercial Weight Ranges in the Central Jungle of Peru

The expansion of tropical aquaculture in the Peruvian Amazon has increased the need for quantitative information on processing performance and morphometric variation in commercially important native fish species. This study evaluated carcass yield, morphometric characteristics, i...

ABSTRACT Consistent between‐individual differences, that is, animal personality (AP) is among the fastest‐growing topics in behavioural biology, with theoretical and empirical work showing important consequences for ecology, evolution and conservation. Yet bats—the second‐largest...

Connection Theory: A General Framework for Adaptive Network Dynamics — From Temporally Extended Existence to Emergent Dynamic Properties

Biological organisms and autonomous artificial systems exhibit adaptive behavior through fundamentally different physical mechanisms. This paper proposes Connection Theory, a general framework for investigating organizational dynamics shared by adaptive systems with different imp...

Resolution of severe autoimmune hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia associated with Plasmodium vivax malaria without corticosteroid therapy: A case report

Rationale: Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of Plasmodium vivax malaria. Most reported cases required corticosteroid therapy in addition to antimalarial treatment. Patient concerns: We report the case of a 28-year-old Ethiopian m...

Comparative assessment of OPC and portland composite cements on the rheology and strength of nylon fiber-modified self-compacting concrete

Abstract This study investigates the combined effects of Portland composite cement type and nylon fiber dosage on the fresh-property compliance and 28-day mechanical performance of self-compacting concrete (SCC). An empirical SCC proportioning approach was adopted. Four OPC-based...
