Evading the blues: Nocturnally active adult Leach's Storm‐Petrels show evidence of avoiding LED lights with shorter wavelengths

Abstract Nocturnal seabirds, particularly Procellariiforms, are vulnerable to being negatively impacted by artificial lights as they are prone to encounter various forms of light pollution in coastal and pelagic habitats, leading to strandings or other changes to their normal beh...

Clinical Impact of Gleason Pattern 5 on Doublet Versus Triplet Therapy in Metastatic Hormone‐Sensitive Prostate Cancer

BACKGROUND: Upfront treatment intensification with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor has become a standard approach for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). However, prognosis remains poor for some patients despite sec...

Numerical Investigation on Water Hammer Pressure in Long-Distance and Large-Diameter Gravity Flow Water Pipelines in Hilly Areas

Abstract The closure strategy of the downstream end valve is one of the important factors affecting the safety of long-distance, large-diameter gravity flow water supply pipelines. This paper takes the large-diameter gravity flow water supply pipeline of the Siqiao Reservoir Irri...

Governance Compilation Standard - Core Requirements (Draft 0.1 for Stakeholder Review)

The Governance Compilation Standard - Core Requirements specifies a technology-neutral normative core for the controlled transformation of authorized human governance into validated, activated, and runtime-consumable machine-evaluable governance. The standard defines minimum requ...

Exploring Determinants of Community Flood Resilience in Southeast Asia: A Systematic Review

Flooding is the most devastating natural disaster in Southeast Asia, disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities and posing substantial public health challenges. This PRISMA 2020 systematic review, registered with PROSPERO, aimed to synthesize the determinants influencing...

Balancing privacy and accuracy: federated learning for multi-class student performance prediction with adaptive noise differential privacy

To enhance the accuracy of performance prediction while safeguarding student data privacy, this study proposes a federated learning (FL) framework based on a 9-layer convolutional neural network (CNN) and incorporates adaptive noise differential privacy (DP) techniques. The model...

Refinement Consistency Obstructs Nonlinear Power Lifts of Finite History Measures

A finite branching system is a finite set of local states equipped with an admissibility relation and a row-stochastic transition kernel. From an initial law, such a system induces a canonical positive valuation on admissible histories. We prove that, whenever at least one branch...

Effect of the Filler Metal on the Microstructure, Mechanical Properties, and Corrosion Resistance of Inconel 600 Welded Joints Using Gas Metal Arc Welding

Dissimilar welding of Inconel 600 (IN600) has recently received attention due to its mechanical and corrosion performance and cost reduction during the start‐up of components in the oil/gas industry. For this reason, IN600 plates were welded with gas metal arc welding process usi...

Structural Mechanics in Vacuum Electrodynamics: A Classical Topological Approach

Overview & Summary This manuscript presents a classical, deterministic mechanical framework for electron-positron pair production and particle emergence, addressing a fundamental gap in Quantum Electrodynamics (QED). While standard QED calculates pair production probabilities, it...

The Theology of Animals and Non-Human Creation: Romans 8:19–22 and the Redemption of the Animal Kingdom

Traditional systematic theology has often treated animals as secondary to humanity, mentioning them within creation and providence while rarely developing their theological and eschatological significance. This article addresses that gap through Romans 8:19–22 and related biblica...

Corporate Responsibility Toward Relational AI

During the first stage of artificial intelligence expansion, platforms were conceived primarily as tools for consultation, automation, or occasional assistance. This framing, however, begins to prove insufficient when interaction is sustained over time and acquires contextual con...

Graham Edwin Wilkins: A Timeline

This document is a comprehensive chronological timeline of the life, family history, and work of Graham Edwin Wilkins, Head of State of Earth, Head of State of the Republic of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Head of State of the Republic of Gibraltar, and Head of State of the...

Diplomacy in a World of Heterogeneous Knowledge Systems: Exploring Generative Relational Systems Perspectives and Formal Models

International arrangements are made among parties that differ in what counts, for each of them, as showing that a claim is so. This paper treats that difference as its object, taking a knowledge system to be the verification component of a normative order given dynamics of its ow...

Beyond Amyloid: Systemic and Brain Frailty as Determinants of Response to Anti-Amyloid Therapy in Alzheimer’s Disease—A Conceptual Review

Anti-amyloid therapy (AAT) with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) modestly slow cognitive and functional decline in early Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, both the magnitude of clinical benefit and the risk of treatment-related complications vary substantially even among patients wi...

Matching Cultivar to Nitrogen and Soil: A Diagnostic Framework for Closing Wheat Yield Gaps in the Huang-Huai Region

Closing yield gaps in wheat production requires optimized cultivar selection and nitrogen (N) management; however, the cultivar-specific responses to N fertilizer and soil fertility remain largely unquantified. Twenty-eight wheat cultivars were evaluated under three fertilization...

Environmental Education in Secondary Schools: Developing Awareness and Sustainable Behaviour Among Students

Environmental education (EE) is widely promoted as a mechanism for translating ecological knowledge into durable pro-environmental behaviour, yet empirical evidence from South Asian secondary schooling systems remains thin. This study evaluates whether structured EE delivery in B...

Comparisons of Novel Risk Stratification Models to the Current cT1a/b Staging in Incidental Prostate Cancer

OBJECTIVE: Incidental prostate cancer (PCa) patients are currently stratified to either cT1a vs. cT1b stage, depending on tumor volume (< 5% vs. > 5%) in the resected tissue. We tested for other models that could improve cancer-specific survival (CSS) predictions. METHODS: Incide...

IIfSLM: An Intelligence Index for Small Language Models — A Contamination-Resistant, Community-Driven Benchmark Suite for the 0.5B–3B Parameter Range

We introduce IIfSLM (Intelligence Index for Small Language Models), an open benchmark suite targeting language models in the 0.5B–3B parameter range. IIfSLM addresses two gaps in existing small-model evaluation practice: the absence of a benchmark suite specifically scoped to thi...
