The Regime Switch of Capital Flows: How the China-U.S. Yield Spread Drives Global Capital Reallocation in a Tiered Manner— Exhaustive Evidence Based on TIC Panel Data, ETF Flows, and China's Cross-Border Data

The international capital flow literature has long treated the interest rate differential as a linear, stable factor. This paper proposes instead the Regime Switch Theory of Capital Flows: the China-U.S. yield spread is a regime variable determining which side's logic dominates....

Multi-Parameter Coupling of Seismic, Drilling and Logging Data for Fine Prediction of Cambrian Gypsum-Salt Sequences

Accurate prediction of gypsum-salt cap rocks is crucial for safe drilling and efficient development of subsalt hydrocarbons in the Tarim Basin. However, due to the complex lithological assemblages within the Middle Cambrian sequences, the P-impedance of gypsum severely overlaps w...

Atomically thin amorphous carbon with an ultralow dielectric constant

Two-dimensional (2D) materials could replace conventional electronic components. Key advances have already been made in applying 2D materials to integrated circuits, but a robust, atomically thin ultralow-k dielectric remains crucial for further circuit scaling. Minimizing parasi...

Identification of acetylation-related gene biomarkers for gallbladder carcinoma via multi-dataset and machine learning, with insights into immune microenvironment modulation

<title>Abstract</title> Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a malignant digestive system tumor, and patients are often only diagnosed at an advanced stage, resulting in high mortality and poor prognosis. Insufficiently specific and sensitive biomarkers impede early screening and diagnosi...

Alpha-Gal Syndrome and the Gastrointestinal Tract: Epidemiology, Clinical Phenotype, Diagnosis, Management, and the Case for a Public Health Response

Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is a tick-induced, IgE-mediated hypersensitivity to the oligosaccharide galactose-α-1,3-galactose (α-gal), which is expressed on glycoproteins and glycolipids of non-primate mammals but absent in humans. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms dominate the clinica...

创世神话英雄传说与事功记忆——华夏创世叙事与人本主体性的确立

English Abstract:This appendix provides a complete textual demonstration of the "embedded subjectivity" thesis advanced in Chapter One of the General Outline. Through a systematic reading of Chinese creation myths, heroic legends, and the genealogies of sage-kings, it demonstrate...

Project CHRONOS: A Fully Homomorphic Ephemeral AI Agent with Provable Self Termination and Remote Verifiability

We present CHRONOS, the first autonomous AI agent that simultaneously achieves plaintextblindness (all data is processed under fully homomorphic encryption without ever beingexposed), cryptographically enforced time bound existence (the agent’s own decryption key islocked behind...

Emission Properties of Wide InGaN/GaN Quantum Wells—Evidence for “Dark Charge” from Time-Resolved Photo- and Electroluminescence

InGaN/GaN quantum wells on polar substrates exhibit a pronounced quan-tum-confined Stark effect, which significantly limits their efficiency as light emitters. Surprisingly, this detrimental effect is significantly reduced when wider wells (above 10 nm) are used; their emission k...

SEFA: Semantic Embedding-Based Feature Augmentation of Biomedical Language-Model Embeddings Improves Interpretable Metabolomic Prediction of Lung Cancer

Background/Objectives: Feature engineering remains a major challenge in metabolomics-based prediction, particularly when rich biochemical knowledge is available but underutilized. Conventional metabolomics models rely primarily on measured variables and statistically driven featu...

Institutional Authority and Governance Dynamics (IAGD 2.3): Construct Boundary and Visual Semantics Harmonization

Institutional Authority and Governance Dynamics (IAGD 2.3) is the stabilized integrating visual architecture of the Institutional Authority Dynamics research enterprise. This release harmonizes construct boundaries and visual semantics across Authority Formation, Governance Dynam...

Star Formation Efficiency and Class I Protostellar Timescales in ATLASGAL Dense Clumps

Star formation in galactic dense clumps is commonly interpreted using nearly uniform protostellar evolutionary timescales, yet the extent to which such assumptions obscure variations in star formation efficiency remains uncertain. Using 60 ATLASGAL dense clumps associated with MI...

Rapid Two-StepMulticomponent Synthesis and Structure-degradationRelationships of Selective HDAC6 PROTAC Degraders

Abstract This work reports on the development of selective histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) degraders based on a peptoid scaffold. Structure-based design identified the isocyanide-derived cap region as suitable exit vector for linker attachment, enabling rapid generation of CRBN-rec...

Risk Factors and Prediction of Medial Canthal Angle Regression after Modified V-Shaped Concealed Flap Canthoplasty

This study aimed to define a reproducible intraoperative measurement protocol for modified V-shaped concealed flap canthoplasty and to evaluate whether quantitative folding parameters of the anterior MCT limb can support prediction of postoperative medial canthal angle regression...

Recent Progress in the Manufacture and Performance of Silver-Based Conductive Coatings for Electrical Contacts: A Review

Silver (Ag)-based conductive coatings are widely used in electrical contacts due to their excellent electrical conductivity, low contact resistance, good thermal stability and oxidation resistance, although their susceptibility to sulfidation and environmental corrosion is a conc...

Beyond Substance: Contemporary Science and the Case for a Generative Relational Ontology

Contemporary science has achieved extraordinary explanatory and predictive success, yet its ontological interpretation remains unsettled. This paper argues that one source of this instability lies in the inherited assumption that reality is fundamentally composed of independently...

Effect of Omani Limestone Waste as a Reinforcing Agent on the Mechanical Properties of Scrap-Based Aluminum Matrix Composites

This paper analyzes the use of Omani limestone, collected from the mountain ranges of the Sultanate of Oman, a major global exporter of limestone, as a natural reinforcement to improve the mechanical properties of recycled aluminum alloys obtained from automotive engine cylinder...

Optimal waste heat temperature in semiconductor cleanroom HVAC: Configuration-dependent cost structure and operating strategy

Heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems account for a large share of the energy use of advanced semiconductor fabrication facilities (fabs). Recovering chiller condenser waste heat to outdoor air conditioner (OAC) heating coils in place of LNG boiler heating has...

Age-Related Behavioral Changes Across the Adult Lifespan of a Cricket: A Longitudinal Analysis Using DeepLabCut

<title>Abstract</title> Aging in insects is characterized by progressive behavioral changes, including declines in locomotion, altered sleep, and disrupted circadian rhythms. The two-spotted cricket ( <italic>Gryllus bimaculatus</italic> ) is a useful model for behavioral senesce...

Topology-Evolving Image Encryption Algorithm Utilizing 2D Rosenbrock–Schwefel Hyperchaotic Map

Traditional image encryption methods based on static permutation and diffusion are vulnerable to structural cryptanalysis and usually show limited resistance to channel interference. To address these problems, this paper proposes a robust topology-evolving image encryption algori...

Extreme Heat and Emergency Health Impacts in the US (2018–2025)

Future climate projections suggest an increase in heat-related mortality and a decrease in cold-related deaths under warming scenarios. Understanding the health impacts of extreme heat, and their implications for healthcare demand is essential for assessing the future burden of c...
