The role of foveal and parafoveal word-processing efficiency in reading Chinese

Abstract This study examined the relationship between the processing efficiency of single-character and two-character words presented in fovea and parafovea and word-level eye-movement parameters in reading Chinese among a heterogenous sample of 70 adult readers (age 18–60 years)...

1‐Azabicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (ABBs) on the Map: Mechanistic Pathways for Catalytic Ring Opening and Functionalizations

ABSTRACT Given the prominence of azetidine derivatives in pharmaceutical chemistry, developing their catalytic synthesis continues to attract strong attention from synthetic chemists. While the strain‐release ring opening and functionalizations of 1‐azabicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (ABBs...

Improving quality of inpatient test-and-treat malaria case-management using joint clinical and laboratory strategy in Kano State, Nigeria

Abstract Background Quality of care and compliance with treatment guidelines supported by quality-assured parasitological diagnosis are strategic pillars of inpatient malaria case-management in Nigeria. However, scarce data, non-compliant practices, challenges in malaria microsco...

Quantifying the Incremental Value of XRF Elemental Data for Well-Log-Based TOC Prediction: A Fusion Strategy Evaluated Under Strict Cross-Validation

Total organic carbon (TOC) is a key parameter for source-rock evaluation, but laboratory measurements are sparse and do not resolve continuous vertical variation. Conventional well logs provide continuous physical responses, whereas X-ray fluorescence (XRF) data add geochemical i...

Are Green Bonds Associated with Shareholder Value? Market Reaction and Firm-Valuation Evidence from Thailand

Whether green-bond issuance is associated with shareholder value remains unclear in small, concentrated emerging markets, where signaling and information-asymmetry channels from developed-market studies may not operate the same way. This study examines short-term stock-market rea...

A bibliometric–systematic literature review of generational perspectives in sustainable marketing: consumer behaviour and brand authenticity

Purpose This study aims to examine the evolving literature on sustainable marketing, consumer behaviour and brand authenticity from a generational perspective. Design/methodology/approach A bibliometric–systematic literature review (B-SLR) integrating bibliometric and co-citation...

The Market in the Exponent: Endogenous Exposure, an Interior Turn in Responsiveness, and a Baseline No Locus Returns

An administration that publishes its findings chooses how loudly to publish, and the deterrence publicity produces is usually modelled as a fixed technology: a given rate of exposure per unit of loudness. The exposure is not supplied by the administration. It is supplied by a mar...

Updated COVID ‐19 Vaccines and Health Outcomes in Patients With Autoimmune Rheumatic Conditions

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess the association between COVID-19 vaccination status and COVID-19-related hospital admissions, need for mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and death in people with autoimmune rheumatic conditions. METHODS: We conduct...

Plants visited by wild bees (Poster, A5)

Posters (A5) highlighting the plants visited by three species of wild bees: Andrea haemorrhoa Bombus terrestris Osmia cornuta Posters are available in both English and German and as png and pdf. Information is from Klein, A.M. & Fornoff, F. (2025): Praxishandbuch Nutzpflanzenbest...

High-Throughput Sequencing Reveals Composition, Diversity, and Functional Prediction of Root-Associated Microbial Communities of Dominant Plants in an Ecologically Sensitive Area of the Loess Plateau

The alpine mining area of the Qilian Mountains features a fragile ecosystem, severe soil degradation due to mining disturbances, and slow natural recovery. To clarify the ecological restoration potential of rhizosphere microorganisms associated with native dominant plants, this s...

DISCRETE ORIGIN OF MERCURY'S ANOMALY AND PLANETARY PRECESSIONS: TOPOLOGICAL DERIVATION OF CORRECTIVE COEFFICIENTS WITHIN THE TRUE FRAMEWORK

This text proposes a topological derivation of the corrective coefficients in the gravitational force equation within the TRUE framework. Continuous geometry is replaced by a discrete lattice of sites coupled by integer conductances. The anisotropy between equatorial and polar li...

Green Logistics Adoption in Malaysia: Drivers, Barriers, and Pathways to Sustainable Performance

ABSTRACT Evidence on how green drivers, barriers, and logistics practices shape sustainable performance remains mixed across industries and institutional contexts. As organizations face growing expectations to fulfill their environmental responsibilities, understanding how logist...

Pharmaceutical Preparation Class Structure in the Voynich Manuscript Balneological Section (f75r–f84v): A Four-Zone Directional Class-Opener Pattern Candidate Consistent with Medieval Balneological Protocol

The balneological section of the Voynich Manuscript (f75r–f84v, 20 folios) has been variously interpreted as a bathing scene catalog, a gynecological illustration series, or an alchemical process diagram. We present a systematic class opener frequency analysis across all 20 folio...

Reversible cross-channel coupling and dynamic diffusion for secure chaos-based color image encryption

Abstract The rapid growth of multimedia communication and cloud-based image transmission has increased the demand for secure and computationally efficient image encryption techniques. However, many existing chaos-based image encryption schemes rely on partially adaptive key gener...

Agent-Centred Nuclear Safety Principles for Small Modular Reactors

Abstract Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are among the new designs that promise more compact nuclear power plants (NPPs) with scalable generation capacity and shorter construction time, while retaining emission-free electricity in exchange for small amounts of manageable radioactiv...

Comparative Pharmacokinetics of Trientine Dihydrochloride Capsules: A Randomized, Open-Label, Reference-Controlled, Two-Period Crossover Study in Healthy Volunteers

Trientine dihydrochloride (TETA-2HCl) is an oral copper chelator used for Wilson disease. Because available formulations differ in marketed strength and may have formulation-specific pharmacokinetic properties, this study compared a 250 mg test capsule and a 300 mg reference caps...

A Parameter-Free Prediction of the Tensor-to-Scalar Ratio

Extract from Cosmology from a Three-Bit Seed (10.5281/zenodo.22586235). This note states the framework's sharpest near-term prediction in the form a B-mode analysis will meet, ahead of the next BICEP/Keck, Simons Observatory and LiteBIRD releases. The tensor-to-scalar ratio is de...

A Preferred Frame Is Forced: Static Weak-Field MOND with One Metric and Two Propagating Modes, and the Lensing Lock That Discharges the Locality Hypothesis

A theorem: if a relativistic theory of gravity (i) reduces to Milgrom's modified Newtonian dynamics in the static weak field, (ii) carries a single physical metric to which matter couples minimally, and (iii) propagates exactly two gravitational degrees of freedom, then it contai...

Does where you live matter? Rurality and 30-day hospital readmission among people with HIV

OBJECTIVE: We examined whether rural residence would compound existing challenges in continuity of HIV care and post discharge follow-up among people with HIV (PWH), leading to higher odds of 30-day hospital readmission compared to urban residence. METHODS: We used data from the...

The Mathematics of Why a Dried Goat Turd Makes a Terrible Boomerang — A Complete Failure Analysis of Pellet-Based Aerodynamics

This work presents the first fully rigorous mathematical proof that a dried goat turd (denoted G) cannot, under any physically admissible throwing configuration, execute a returning boomerang trajectory. Building on nonlinear dynamics, brittle-fracture mechanics, stochastic geome...
