A semi-analytical Ring-Arc model for Plutino perturbations

Abstract Neptune’s 2:3 mean motion resonance induces an asymmetric spatial distribution of Plutinos. We previously proposed a 9000-point-mass arc model that successfully captures the resulting influence on planetary ephemerides. However, integrating thousands of point masses invo...

Do Readers Simulate the Color of Inferred Objects? Influence of Sentence Typicality and Context Position

Embodied cognition assumes that language processing involves sensory, motor, and affective representations. However, further empirical research is required to reveal how embodied representations are used in language processing. This study investigated whether readers could repres...

Extremal and Average Behavior of a Shifted GCD Sum over Divisors

For every integer n >= 2, define A(n) = sum_{d|n} gcd(d-1, n/d-1), and write B(n) = A(n) - 2(n-1). We prove the sharp inequality A(n) <= 9n/4, with equality only at n = 36, and determine the next two extremal ratios: after excluding 36, equality in A(n) <= 20n/9 occurs only at n...

Introducing public management and global sporting mega-events: public value, ecosystems, learning and temporality

We are delighted to introduce this Special Issue which collects authors and studies from around the world; qualitative and quantitative, current, historic, and longitudinal. Each paper contributes ...

On the Protodynamics of Physical Persistence

General relativity incorporates time into dynamical spacetime geometry, whereas conventional quantum theory treats it as an external parameter. The formally timeless Wheeler-DeWitt equation obtained from the Hamiltonian constraint in canonical quantum gravity sharpens this tensio...

Whose Emotional Intelligence Counts? Behaviour, Competence and the Organisational Interpretation of Emotional Intelligence

Emotional Intelligence (EI) has become a defining feature of leadership development, recruitment and performance management. We argue, however, that as EI has become embedded within organisational practice, its assessment has gradually shifted from recognising emotional capabilit...

In Silico Design and Molecular Docking Analysis of a Novel RNA Aptamer Targeting EGFR Extracellular Domain

Title: In Silico Design and Molecular Docking Analysis of a Novel RNA Aptamer Targeting EGFR Extracellular Domain for CRISPR/Cas9 Delivery Abstract & Project Overview: This study presents a targeted, non-viral gene therapy approach for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by utiliz...

Health Behaviour and Psychological Distress among Police Personnel in Ondo State, Nigeria: The Mediating Role of Physical Activity Status

ABSTRACT: Psychological distress is a growing occupational health concern among police personnel, particularly in contexts where officers are exposed to demanding work conditions, operational pressure, and limited wellness support. This study examined the relationship between hea...

Proximity as populist performance: A video data analysis of the 2023 Turkish elections

This dataset includes: 1) 92 videos analyzed in the article “Proximity as Populist Performance: A Video Data Analysis of the 2023 Turkish Elections.” 2) An Excel file containing the coding results for all situations identified in the videos. 3) A table listing the names and polit...

Entrepreneurship and Employment: The Simultaneous Impacts of Establishment Births versus Deaths on Regional Employment across the United States

This study investigates the non-linear effects of establishment births versus deaths on regional employment, which show asymmetric pathways between intra-regional versus inter-regional spillovers. Using state-year data on establishment births, deaths, and employment for service s...

The Law of Action: Behavioural Choice on Three Axes, and Its Domain of Definition

Abstract Given the state of a subject and the state of the environment he is in, under what conditions does the question "what should be done next" have a determinate answer, and where does that answer lie. This paper gives a computable form and marks out its domain of definition...

From Policy to Detection: Accreditation, Audit Maturity, and the Governance of Law-Enforcement ALPR Misuse An Exploratory Comparative Study of Flock Safety Oversight in U.S. Law-Enforcement Agencies

Automated license plate recognition systems now form a significant part of contemporary law-enforcement information infrastructure. Through networked ALPR platforms, authorized personnel can search vehicle-location data gathered over wide geographic areas and, depending on the sy...

Allele-specific expression reveals complex regulatory divergence underlying fruit phenotypic differences between cultivated and wild tomato species

Abstract Background Tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ) is one of the most important agricultural crops and serves as a model system for fleshy fruit biology. However, domestication bottlenecks have led to limited genetic diversity for further crop improvement. Wild relatives represe...

Performance and Tail-Latency Trade-offs Between Stateless JWT and Stateful Session Authentication Under Increasing Concurrency

Authentication architectures impose critical operational constraints on web service scalability. While stateless JSON Web Tokens (JWT) are operationally convenient, continuous cryptographic verification introduces computational overhead. Conversely, stateful session authenticatio...

Executive functions in people with Down Syndrome across the lifespan: A systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies

A Meta-Analysis on Longitudinal Studies related to the development of Executive Functions in people with Down Syndrome

CAT'S Theory Addendum: Empirical Convergence of the PMNS Matrix, Zero-Parameter Likelihood Evaluation, and the Diophantine Packing Functional

This addendum develops and evaluates a zero-parameter formulation of the Pontecorvo–Maki–Nakagawa–Sakata (PMNS) neutrino mixing matrix within CAT'S Theory. The framework models stable matter states through torus-knot topology on the S³ manifold and formalizes a Diophantine packin...

The influence of employees' entrepreneurial socio-cognitive traits and the country-level institutional context on employees' entrepreneurial behavior

Purpose This study seeks to identify the individual- and country-level factors that influence employees' entrepreneurial behavior (EEB) by examining the direct effects of entrepreneurial socio-cognitive traits on EEB and the moderating influence of country-level institutional fac...

Dispersal-mediated coexistence and extinction dynamics in three archetypal food webs

Species dispersal is a fundamental process governing the spatial structure, stability, and persistence of ecological communities. While previous studies have elucidated the role of dispersal in simple food webs and omnivorous systems, a systematic comparison of how species-specif...

dcHiChIP: A comprehensive Nextflow-based pipeline for multiscale analysis of chromatin architecture from HiChIP data

Abstract Motivation Despite the growing use of HiChIP to investigate protein-directed chromatin architecture, a comprehensive and reproducible pipeline for analyzing these datasets-from raw reads to multiscale 3D genome features-remains lacking. Existing tools often focus on isol...

Cyber diplomacy as networked securitisation: an empirically grounded framework

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop an empirically grounded framework of cyber diplomacy. In the modern era, conflicts have moved online, challenging the suitability of traditional diplomatic frameworks for this new context. While the dimensions and practices of tradi...
