Diffuse midline glioma, H3 K27-altered, forming a suprasellar mass: A case report
Diffuse midline glioma, H3 K27-altered (DMG), is an extremely aggressive tumor that mainly arises in midline structures such as the thalamus, brainstem, and spinal cord in children and young adults. We report a rare adult case of DMG presenting as a suprasellar mass. A 56-year-ol...

This paper has two parts. First, we give a complete, self-contained reconstruction of the proof of Equation 3 in Ramanujan's 1914 paper "Modular equations and approximations to π" [Ramanujan 1914], starting from the elementary problem of the perimeter of an ellipse and building u...

Current Translational 3D In Vitro Models of Human Placental Tissue
Cellular models of placental tissue have the potential to recapitulate normal physiology, model disease, and facilitate therapeutic drug testing. In vivo or two-dimensional (2D) in vitro models of placental conditions have not been sufficiently representative of whole human tissu...

A comprehensive review of capsule neural networks for modern predictive maintenance
Abstract There is a significant evolution in modern predictive maintenance (PdM) using advanced deep learning architectures. Among these, Capsule networks (CapsNets) have emerged as a promising alternative to CNNs and their variants, given their ability to preserve hierarchical s...

Abstract Purpose Most patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) do not benefit from treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting programmed cell death (ligand) 1 (PD-(L)1). Radiation might improve response to immunotherapy by increasing the im...

Translation-invariant Fourier covariance and path-correlated codeword search
Translation-invariant second moments on a finite abelian group have diagonal Fourier spectrum. We observe that this standard diagonalization equates the expected coherent bad mass after subgroup addition with the ordinary bad mass, for any fixed subgroup and bad-error set. The id...

Single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the umbilical cord and foreskin
This project presents a single-cell RNA sequencing atlas of human umbilical cord- and foreskin-derived cells. The dataset was generated to characterize cellular heterogeneity, transcriptional states, and tissue-specific molecular features, providing a resource for comparative ana...

Reconciling innovation and sustainability through the Triple Helix Twins: A coopetition perspective
This study examines how knowledge spills over in innovation ecosystems to reconcile innovation and sustainability objectives through coopetition in the Triple Helix Twins (THT) model. Building on the knowledge spillovers, THT, and coopetition literatures, the paper investigates h...

Sustained vane rotation in a circular ratcheted Leidenfrost engine
This study investigates a vane-driven Leidenfrost engine based on evaporation-induced self-propulsion of liquid volumes of deionized water on a radially ratcheted circular substrate. Asymmetric surface topography rectifies vapor flow beneath the levitated liquid, creating pressur...

Evolutionary biophysics in Brazil
Abstract Physicists have been fascinated by the biological sciences for many years, but it has also deemed not amenable to be studied by the molecular sciences—for most of recorded history it was actually believed that biology had its own laws, a view that started to erode when t...

Real-time image absolute orientation framework with Optical-GNSS data fusion for lightweight UAVs
For lightweight unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), real-time absolute camera orientation is critical for photogrammetric mapping. However, achieving absolute accuracy under inertial-inaccessible constraints remains challenging due to the scale drift of visual odometry and the non-s...
