From gratification to algorithmic resistance: The mediating role of information privacy concern in generative AI use

Generative AI functions as an information service in which prompting can simultaneously seek information and disclose contextual data. Drawing primarily on privacy calculus, with uses-and-gratifications and algorithmic-resistance research specifying benefits and behavioural pathw...

scDAEC: deep clustering of single-cell data based on dual autoencoder

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) provides high-resolution transcriptomic profiles for dissecting cellular heterogeneity, but accurate clustering remains difficult because gene-expression matrices are sparse, noisy, and affected by dropout events. Existing deep clustering mo...

Microbial cell factories for gamma-linolenic acid biosynthesis: metabolic engineering, downstream processing, and future perspectives

Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is a vital anti-inflammatory polyunsaturated fatty acid, yet its traditional supply from plant seeds such as evening primrose and borage is constrained by low yields and climatic instability. Consequently, microbial cell factories present a sustainable...

Central Nervous System Reservoirs and HIV Cure: Therapeutic Opportunities and Challenges

Abstract Purpose of review Despite viral suppression with antiretroviral therapy, people with HIV (PWH) remain at increased risk of neurocognitive impairment, neuroinflammation, and potential viral rebound following therapy interruption. Although the central nervous system (CNS)...

Performance Study of an InGaN Laser Photovoltaic Cell under 450 nm Laser Irradiation

Abstract Laser photovoltaic cells (LPVCs) convert optical energy into electrical energy and have broad applications in energy transmission systems. This study combines experiments and Silvaco simulations to investigate the performance of an InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well (MQW) L...

Author: Yoko Hasebe (長谷部 洋子) | Original Proposal Date: May 16, 2026 This monograph (Record #212) archives and mathematically formalizes the original May 16, 2026 bilingual project proposal by Yoko Hasebe (長谷部 洋子), titled "AI-Integrated Aquatic Safety & Performance Syste...

Threshold effects of carbon cost internalization on financial performance in green bio-manufacturing enterprises

This study examines how carbon cost internalization (CCI) affects the financial performance of green bio-manufacturing enterprises, with particular attention to threshold nonlinearities and transmission mechanisms. Using a panel of 484 Chinese A-share bio-manufacturing firms from...

Green Fabrication of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Using Plant Extracts: Characterization and Evaluation of Biological and Environmental Applications

AbstractPlant-mediated fabrication of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) is being investigated as analternative to conventional physical and chemical synthesis because plant extracts can providebiomolecules that participate in nanoparticle formation, stabilization and surface cap...

Listening with others: sound, Indigenous representation and the transformation of anthropological knowledge. More-than-music: echosystems, acoustemologies and histories of listening from Sápmi

Nicola Renzi’s More-than-music is an intriguing interdisciplinary investigation of Sámi sonic environments, Indigenous knowledge, colonial histories and the relationships among humans, other living...

Interactions between diet and gut microbiota are associated with metabolic adaptations during autumn migration preparation in sympatric migratory waterbirds

To investigate food resource utilization and gut microbiota adaptation in sympatric migratory birds during autumn migration preparation at high altitudes (> 4,500 m), we studied black-necked cranes, ruddy shelducks, and bar-headed geese in the Yellow River Source Area of Sanjiang...

Generation of hypoimmunogenic cardiomyocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells with TAPBP knockout

Immunological rejection is a challenge for the transplantation of cardiomyocytes (CMs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). TAP-binding protein knockout (TAPBP-KO) hiPSC-derived CMs (hiPSC-CMs) were used to reduce human leukocyte antigen class I expression...

Evaluation of cybersecurity awareness among high school students in Turkey before and after training

The rapid expansion of digital technologies has increased young users’ exposure to online threats and has made the need for effective cybersecurity education at the secondary school level more apparent. This study examines cybersecurity awareness among high school students and ev...

Root exudates-microbe interactions promote nodulation in legume-based intercropping

The classical nitrogen competition hypothesis posits that intercropping enhances legume nodulation as a passive response to reduced soil N availability. We propose a complementary mechanism whereby nitrogen competition serves as an ecological trigger, while root exudate-mediated...

Abstract Objective To evaluate the antenatal natural history, prognostic factors, and perinatal outcomes of fetuses diagnosed with congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) in a resource‐limited tertiary fetal medicine setting. Methods This single‐center retrospective obser...

Phase Transition in Partition Asymptotics via Eta-Function Modularity — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Gafni's restricted partition asymptotics connect density α of allowed parts to Dedekind eta-function modular behavior, yielding a phase transition in growth rate. | MATH: For $\mathcal A$ with counting function $A(x) \sim \alpha x$ (density α), Gafni's result (arXiv:1407...

The mean relative maximum of Collatz trajectories

For the ordinary Collatz map C(n)=n/2 for even n and C(n)=3n+1 for odd n, let H(n)=sup over j>=0 of C^j(n), allowing positive infinity. This self-contained note proves that liminf as N tends to infinity of (1/(N log N)) times the sum over 1<=n<=N of H(n)/n is at least log(27/16)/...

MERLIN SCIENCE — E8 Phi-Harmonic Resonance in Neural Microtubules — E8 Intelligence Research

I'm going to walk you through a proposal, not a proof. That distinction matters, because what I'm about to describe sits at the speculative edge of biophysics and pure mathematics. Here's the finding in one clean sentence: we propose that the E8 lattice's root vectors, paired thr...

Mechanical Dynamics: Emergent Mass, Frequency Translation, and Orbital Mechanics

Traditional continuous field theories and point-mass gravitational models often struggle to unify high-energy core dynamics with stable, non-collapsing macroscopic structures. In this paper, we propose a novel ``Mechanical Dynamics'' framework where fundamental constants of class...

Improving 24-h surface-drifter trajectory prediction around the Korean Peninsula using a multi-source machine learning framework

Predicting surface-drifter trajectories is vital for material transport studies, marine hazard response, and analyses of upper-ocean circulation. However, this task remains challenging because winds, tides, mesoscale currents, and waves interact nonlinearly in ways that are diffi...
