Stochastic Resonance in a Small-World Network of Rulkov Neurons with Electrical and Chemical Synapses Under an Alternating Electric Field and Synaptic Transmission Delay

Biological neural systems can use moderate noise to enhance their responses to weak stimuli, and this process is affected by synaptic transmission, network structure, transmission timing, and external electric fields. We constructed a Watts–Strogatz network of Rulkov neurons with...

CAT'S Theory: The Meta-Ontological Invariant: Pre-Axiomatic Priority, Triadic Modal Completeness, and Shannon Channel Equivalence

CAT'S Theory — Foundational Layer-1 Anchor Manuscript: Every formal system presupposes structural conditions under which its axioms function as axioms and its invariants function as invariants, yet no axiom-dependent framework derives these conditions from within itself. Within C...

Long COVID and Incident Multimorbidity in the United States: Evidence from a Nationally Representative Longitudinal Study

Background/Objectives: Long COVID has been associated with elevated risks of individual chronic conditions, but its association with the transition to multimorbidity remains unclear. This study aims to examine whether retrospective COVID-19 status was associated with incident mul...

Well-posedness of difference schemes for elliptic NBVPs in holder spaces with weights

Nonlocal boundary value problems for elliptic equations arise in various mathematical models and applications, where classical local boundary conditions are insufficient to describe the underlying phenomena. Developing accurate and stable numerical methods for such problems is th...

Rational moment algebras: spectral reconstruction, factorization and arithmetic rigidity

We consider rational characteristic functions that admit finite symmetric Laplace-mixture representations with simple poles and positive residues. Such positivity does not by itself imply rational factorization; moment rank and rational splitting remain different properties. A ge...

Pesticide Spraying Strategy Optimization for a Tracked Air-Assisted Spraying Robot Based on a Novel Virginia Creeper Optimization Algorithm

To address the limitations of conventional constant-rate pesticide application in adapting to spatial variations in crop canopy structure, this study proposes a pesticide spraying strategy optimization method for a tracked air-assisted spraying robot based on a novel Virginia Cre...

AI and I—Distributed Authorships in the Swedish Upper Secondary Writing Classroom

Abstract This paper examines upper secondary students’ writing with Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) through a post-structural lens. The aim is to explore how authorship can be understood and described in the age of AI. The empirical material consists of three students’...

Study on the Density Enhancement of a Solids-Free, Potassium-Based Phosphate Kill Fluid by Cesium Formate and Its Molecular Dynamics Mechanism

Abstract In the development of high-temperature and high-pressure oil and gas reservoirs, high-density, solid-free, well-killing fluids are essential for well control operations. Traditional weighting agents suffer from insufficient density and high corrosivity. Potassium-based p...

Prevention is better than cure

Wider access to clean water and sanitation is needed in the battle to combat bacterial diseases.

Optimized Flomoxef Dosing Strategy for Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing Bacteria, Based on Pooled Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Analysis

Background: Flomoxef exhibits antibacterial activity against extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria and is a potential alternative to carbapenems. However, its pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics remain unclear, and the appropriate minimum inhibitory concentr...

A Cox-Based Framework for Quantile Estimation

Quantile regression (QR) provides a flexible framework for characterizing conditional distributions and can offer useful insights for quantile estimation. In this paper, we provide intuition for the interpretation of QR by highlighting the approach that it is a reparameterization...

D₃ as Minimal Non-Abelian Group for Quantum Ternary Choice on Tianyan-287 — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Dihedral group D₃ (symmetry group of equilateral triangle) is the minimal non-abelian group, directly relevant to modeling non-commutative ternary choice operators in quantum cognition; the Tianyan-287 quantum processor (105 qubits) provides a physical platform for testi...

A Sharp Prior-Sensitivity Threshold for Fixed-Partition Support Boundaries

Consider a Poisson support-boundary experiment with intensity scale n, a known partition of [0,1] into K bins of widths Delta_j, and independent prior densities on the bin heights. For a fixed positive prior whose logarithm is locally Lipschitz, we prove that the posterior is asy...

At peace with results: Navigating results in Swedish peacebuilding support

Abstract Motivation This study contributes to the literature on the conditions under which results‐based management (RBM) practices enhance or undermine development policy implementation, and research on how aid bureaucrats respond to competing institutional demands. Purpose The...

Additive Manufacturing in Defense: Applications and Implementation Framework for Smaller Nations

Additive Manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a key enabling technology for the development of defense capabilities, owning to a series of unique competitive advantages, such as rapid prototyping, low and mid-volume production, mission-specific equipment adaptation, repair, remanufa...

Depressive Symptoms in Adults with Obesity and Their Associations with Sociodemographic, Health and Lifestyle Factors: A Secondary Analysis of a Cross-Sectional Study

Normal Science and Middle-Range Theory in Criminology: Assessing the Contested Notion of Offending Specialization

This review traces the evolution of the specialization concept in criminology and assesses its value for theory, research, and policy. Although empirical research has generally shown that most offenders exhibit versatility rather than long-term specialization, we argue that speci...
