Field coupling as an interpretative framework for peptide–membrane interactions

Abstract Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) interact with lipid membranes through multistep processes that may include interfacial adsorption, partial insertion, membrane deformation, pore formation, and transmembrane organization. Although these processes have been extensively invest...

Exploring associations among lignin biosynthesis gene expression, anatomy, and digestibility in Megathyrsus maximus cultivars

Context Megathyrsus maximus (Jacq.) B.K.Simon & S.W.L.Jacobs is a fast-growing perennial grass species used as forage for livestock production suitable for grazing and cut-and-carry systems, depending on management in tropical and subtropical regions. Aims This study evaluate...

SurfaceProton ReservoirsConstrain Alkalinity Exportfrom Enhanced Weathering

Abstract The addition of silicate and carbonate materials to soils (enhanced weathering) is a proposed carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategy with potential agronomic co-benefits, especially for soil pH management. However, alkalinity from mineral dissolution interacts with the su...

Probable neurosyphilis-associated longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis with severe bladder dysfunction and radiologic resolution: a case report

Abstract Background Longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) is often investigated as an autoimmune inflammatory myelopathy, but treatable infectious mimics should also be considered. Neurosyphilis-associated myelitis is uncommon and may resemble aquaporin-4 or myelin...

FHAT Technical Note #008AR: Real-Time Execution Reconciliation of TN008A — A Defense-First Case Study (SOXL, August 17, 2026)

Real-time execution reconciliation of FHAT Technical Note #008A against the full August 17, 2026 regular session for SOXL (Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares). The session ran from TN008A's frozen USD 147.92 precondition low to a USD 156.924 high before closing at USD 15...

Establishing a single-cell RNA sequencing workflow using EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Background and Objectives: No unified consensus exists regarding standardized protocols for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis of samples obtained via EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of applying scRNA-seq to E...

Energy-Neutral Exact-Local Cascade Control in a Three-Dimensional Spectral Flow Solver

This study introduces the EIDOS Energy-Neutral Exact-Local Cascade (EN-ELC), a numerical spectral-feedback operator designed to alter resolved interscale energy transfer without directly adding net instantaneous kinetic-energy power to the fluid as a whole. The method is implemen...

Ventral Column Spinal Cord Stimulation for Pain Management

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a form of neuromodulation that delivers electrical impulses to the spinal cord, altering pain signals to provide relief from chronic pain. Since its introduction in the 1960s, SCS has primarily targeted the dorsal columns of the spinal cord. While...

Determinacy Is Not Emergence: Clarifying Dynamical Indeterminism, Causal Emergence, and Probabilistic Futures

Three ideas are often discussed in neighboring vocabularies but answer different questions: whether a physical theory is dynamically deterministic, whether a system exhibits causal emergence across scales, and whether an observer should represent the future probabilistically. Thi...

Empowerment or disempowerment: the impact of GenAI use on graduate students' research innovation capability

Purpose This study aims to examine how generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) use influences graduate students' research innovation capacity in the Chinese context, with particular attention to the mediating role of research self-efficacy, the moderating effects of peer suppo...

COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia: a spatial and multilevel analysis

Abstract Background Although vaccines are becoming increasingly accessible, hesitancy is still a public health concern, particularly in reproductive-age women in Ethiopia. However, evidence regarding geographic distribution and determinants of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy remains l...

PBH Scaffolding Theory: Primordial Black Holes Replace Particle Dark Matter

PBH Scaffolding Theory proposes that the large-scale gravitational scaffold of the universe is not an elementary dark-matter particle species but a primordial black-hole fog (asteroid-mass PBHs in unmodified Einstein gravity). Five independent gates operationalize scaffold comple...

Rapid Declinesin European Traffic NO x and NMVOC EmissionsRevealed by Eddy-Covarianceand Remote Sensing

Abstract Reliable quantification of anthropogenic emission trends remains a major uncertainty in air-quality and climate assessments. Here we present nearly a decade of eddy-covariance flux measurements of NOx, nonmethane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs), and CO2 in the Alpine...

Fuzzy hybrid system based on ensemble learning for classification in intelligent manufacturing processes

Abstract The integration of Machine Learning (ML) into advanced manufacturing is a key enabler of Industry 4.0, supporting intelligent quality control and early fault detection. Despite recent advances, challenges remain regarding the interpretability and adaptability of multicla...

Quantification of practice effects in a self-administered online cognitive pre-screening test

BACKGROUND: With growing prevalence of mild cognitive impairment and dementia, online self-administered pre-screening tests hold the promise to more objectively identify individuals who stand to benefit from prioritized access to supervised cognitive testing and in-depth neurolog...

KongMen: Real-Time Dialogue Purification via Training-Free Entity-Redundancy Gating

Long-context LLMs (128K–1M tokens) reduce truncation loss, but full-length inputs incur proportional latency, cost, and memory overhead. We propose KongMen, a training-free, LLM-free real-time dialogue purifier for multi-turn conversations. KongMen removes conversation-internal r...
