Exploring the Inhibitory Effects of Some Detergents on Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis with Specific Focus on Zwitterionic Sulfobetaines

Abstract Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) infects ruminants with Johne’s disease and is also involved in human inflammatory bowel syndrome, such as Crohn’s disease. With increasing drug resistance and zoonosis, there is a critical need for novel antimicrobial...

T2T genome of Giant Panda

The first complete genome of giant panda.

Carbonate Petrophysics & Log Interpretation

A qualitative evaluation of standard electric log limitations in complex, dual-porosity carbonate formations. It details diagnostic criteria using acoustic and nuclear logs to identify non-Archie behavior and prevent bypassed pay zones.

Nonlinear instability and time-domain response of thin-walled UHPC towers under floating dynamic boundaries

The upscaling of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) to 15-MW capacities requires ultra-flexible, thin-walled ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) towers, posing critical challenges to nonlinear stability. Conventional decoupled design approaches fail to capture the coupled...

Bionomia, Scholia, Wikidata and Zenodo: broadcasting biodiversity contributions

A presentation to be given at TDWG2026 conference in Oslo. This presentation will be the third in the symposium SYM07 Publishing and Communications Promoting Biodiversity, Natural History Collections, People, Data and Data Standards.

Constrained SO(3,3) Spacetime Theory: A Vector Condensate Monograph on Multi-Timelike Geometry, Causality Locking, and Cosmological Anisotropies

Comprehensive theoretical monograph on a 6-dimensional (3 space + 3 time) spacetime modelresolving ultrahyperbolic instability, black hole event horizon phase transitions, and the cosmicmicrowave background dipole tension via cosmological vector condensate locking.

Linguistic and communicative profile of children with Dravet Syndrome: A descriptive case series

Dravet Syndrome (DS) is a severe early-onset epileptic encephalopathy associated with mutations in the alpha-1 sodium channel of the SCN1A gene. It is characterized by pharmacoresistant seizures and progressive deterioration in motor, cognitive, and communicative areas. Studies h...

Determinants of renewable energy intensity in Sub-Saharan Africa

The devastating consequences of climate change have intensified the global imperative for renewable energy transition, with particular urgency in Africa, where vulnerability to climatic impacts is compounded by persistent poverty and weak institutions. Although existing literatur...

Could corporate ESG performance impacts controlling shareholders tunneling: evidence from China

Using a sample of Chinese listed firms, this study investigates how corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance affects tunneling by controlling shareholders. We find that higher ESG performance significantly reduces tunneling, with this effect being stronge...

How good are the Ministry of Justice prison population projections?

Walkforward Research Paper 2026/02. Version 1.0, September 2026. Eighteen editions of the Ministry of Justice prison population projections since 2008, with every central projection scored against what happened at every horizon. The projections have been too high at every horizon...

Revegetation of semi-arid mine dumps: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi alleviate water competition in mixed planting systems

Water scarcity is the primary limiting factor for achieving sustainable revegetation and ecological restoration in arid and semi-arid mining areas. The application of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and mixed planting has proven effective in promoting vegetation establishment...

Differentially private and explainable machine learning for vasovagal syncope detection: a feasibility study of homomorphic encryption for secure inference

Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is a common cause of transient loss of consciousness and presents diagnostic challenges. The head-up tilt test (HUTT) is the standard method for diagnosis; however, existing approaches often show limited sensitivity, and adoption of Artificial Intelligence...

Local anesthetic systemic toxicity with liposomal bupivacaine: a case series and literature review

Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST) is an uncommon complication, with manifestations ranging from mild, non-specific neurological symptoms to severe cardiac arrest. Toxicity specifically associated with liposomal bupivacaine is even more rarely documented in the literature....

Factors associated with childhood undernutrition in Bangladesh: a scoping review with implications for modeling

Abstract Background Childhood undernutrition remains highly prevalent in low- and middle-income countries and continues to be a major public health concern, contributing to increased morbidity, mortality, and impaired cognitive development. Although many studies have examined fac...

RGMEC — Mathematical Structure: Relative Gravitational Matter–Energy Confinement — A Structural Interpretation of Gravitational Time Dilation

Relative Gravitational Matter–Energy Confinement (RGMEC) provides a complementary structural interpretation of gravitational time dilation while remaining mathematically identical to the Schwarzschild limit of General Relativity. Compactness C = GM/(Rc²) is identified as the prim...

Applying convolutional neural networks to X-ray images to improve postharvest detection of fruit fly infestation

Early detection of fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) infestation in traded fruit is important for maintaining phytosanitary security, particularly for quarantine pests. This study evaluated the integration of micro-focus X-ray computed tomography (µCT) and deep learning as a non-d...

Cultural Evolution Theory – Bridging Which Gap?

Abstract Since the 19th century, numerous approaches have been developed to determine the relationship between Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and humans as cultural beings. All reductionist approaches, from Social Darwinism and its normative claims to Sociobiology and Memet...

Clinical and imaging characteristics of cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament and factors influencing its severity: a retrospective cross-sectional study

Abstract Background Although the prevalence of cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) and its risk factors for onset and postoperative progression have been well documented, a comprehensive profile of patients with this condition remains lacking, and...
