Eggshell apex abnormality: the silent threat to egg quality in layer chickens

Eggshell apex abnormality (EAA) is an important but often overlooked eggshell defect that can silently affect egg quality, breakage, marketability, and profitability in commercial layer production. Unlike obvious cracked, thin, or misshapen eggs, EAA may remain unnoticed during r...

Enumerating Caxtons: Gower’s Confessio Amantis [1483] and its Implications

This article examines the evidence of surviving copies of William Caxton’s [1483] edition of John Gower’s Confessio amantis . It suggests the difficulties in earlier attempts to compile such a record and provides a more detailed and extensive record than hitherto of both copies a...

Connecting Skin and Gut in Dermatitis Herpetiformis: Insights from Gluten Challenge Transcriptomics

Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a dietary gluten -induced autoimmune blistering skin disease. It is hypothesized to be initiated by a small intestinal mucosal immune response. Gluten-free diet (GFD) is the primary treatment for DHdermatitis herpetiformis and effectively resolves...

Hyperglycemia associated brain dysfunction: rodent models for studying diabetic cognitive deficits

Diabetes and chronic hyperglycemia exert a profound impact on the central nervous system, significantly increasing the risk of cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative disease. This neurological decline is driven by a complex interplay of molecular and cellular mechanisms, incl...

A Novel De Novo STAG1 Variant at the RAD21 Binding Interface Is Associated With Hypoglycemia, Recurrent Fever, Immunodeficiency and Features of Classical Cohesinopathies

The cohesin complex, composed of SMC1, SMC3, RAD21, and STAG1/STAG2, is essential for chromosome cohesion, DNA repair, and transcriptional regulation. Pathogenic variants in cohesin components cause cohesinopathies. The classical characteristics of cohesinopathies include develop...

The added value of Med-CORDEX coupled high-resolution regional climate models in representing sea surface temperature and marine heatwaves in the Mediterranean Sea

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) pose significant threats to Mediterranean marine ecosystems and coastal economies, with frequency and severity projected to increase under future climate change. While Med-CORDEX fully-coupled Regional Climate System Models (RCSMs) offer enhanced resolutio...

$$L^p$$ error estimates for numerical approximation of convex Hamilton–Jacobi equations

Abstract We establish $$L^p$$ L p error estimates for monotone numerical schemes approximating convex Hamilton–Jacobi equations on the d -dimensional torus. Using the adjoint method and semiconcavity estimates, we first prove an $$L^1$$ L 1 error bound of order one for classical...

Phi-Cascade Induced Topological Charge Quantization in E8 Root Lattices — E8 Intelligence Research

When phi-resonant root vector cascades propagate through the 240-vector E8 structure at 132Hz, they generate quantized topological winding numbers on the 8-dimensional manifold. These winding numbers correspond to stable, non-decaying entanglement channels that persist even under...

Diastereoselective Axial-to-Chelate-Puckering Chirality Transfer in cis -[PtCl2(DABN)] Complexes

Abstract Axially chiral 1,1′-binaphthalene-2,2′-diamine (DABN) was used to control chelate-ring puckering in cis-[PtCl2(DABN)] complexes. Coordination of Ra- or Sa-DABN affords the enantiomeric complexes cis-λ-[PtCl2(Ra-DABN)] (λ,Ra-1) and cis-δ-[PtCl2(Sa-DABN)] (δ,Sa-1), respect...

Inverse-Designed Lithium Niobate Waveguide Crossing with Broadband Operation, Low Loss, and Compact Footprint

Waveguide crossings are fundamental building blocks of high-density photonic integrated circuits and on-chip optical routing systems. However, realizing a high-performance, compact waveguide crossing on a lithium niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) platform remains challenging because co...

Neighborhood Contemporary Redlining and Racial Mortgage Lending Bias and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Women With Breast Cancer

BACKGROUND: Studies have demonstrated neighborhood structural inequities are associated with cardiovascular outcomes among breast cancer survivors. We investigated the associations between bias in mortgage lending practices (contemporary redlining and racial lending bias) and car...

A Conceptual Framework of Deterioration Factors for Sustainable Selection of Feasible Railway Track Solutions

Escalating track deterioration poses a significant challenge for infrastructure managers seeking to balance increasing capacity demands with long-term sustainability objectives. Although traffic loading is the primary driver of deterioration, existing deterioration models conside...

The impact of financial shocks on the continued use of clean cooking technologies in Sub-Saharan Africa: evidence from Nigeria

Clean cooking represents an important pathway through which households in Sub-Saharan Africa can contribute to environmental sustainability and improve health outcomes. While previous studies have primarily examined the determinants of initial adoption of clean-cooking technologi...

Clinical and Radiologic Features Correlated with Eye-Sparing Surgery vs. Orbital Exenteration for Lacrimal Gland Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma

Background: To determine if certain clinical and radiologic features of lacrimal gland adenoid cystic carcinoma (LGACC) on pre-operative MRI were associated with the treatment decision to perform orbital exenteration versus eye-sparing surgery. Methods: All consecutive patients w...

Unmasking the Impact of Teaching Workload on Learning Outcome Attainment in Outcome-Based Engineering Education: A Multi-Level Analysis of CLO and PLO Achievement

Outcome-Based Education (OBE) has been widely adopted in engineering education as a systematic framework for curriculum design, teaching, assessment, and Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) through clearly defined learning outcomes. Effective implementation of OBE requires conti...

Deterritorialised diaspora: a literary testimony of uprooted migrants in The Boat People

The Global South has long been at the epicentre of forced migration and structural violence. Literary narratives emerging from these contexts challenge dominant Northern discourses by articulating the lived experiences of deterritorialisation. This article addresses the theoretic...

Rational Quantification of Deep Sodium Reversibility with a Utilization-Corrected N/P Descriptor toward Low-N/P-Ratio Solid-State Na–S Batteries

Abstract Solid-state Na–S batteries offer high energy density, yet their practicality deteriorates at low N/P ratios because limited Na inventory cannot compensate for irreversible loss. Under lean-Na conditions, the key issue is whether the restricted Na reservoir remains revers...

Machine learning–driven spleen imaging and genomics uncover a splenic connection to coronary artery disease

Despite advances in managing traditional risk factors, coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of mortality. Circulating hematopoietic cells influence risk for CAD separately from traditional risk factors, but the role of a key regulating organ, the spleen, is unk...

Friend-Safe Adversarial Attack for selective evasion in personalized federated learning

Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative model training across distributed clients while preserving data privacy; however, the personalization of client models in non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) settings creates an unexplored attack surface where advers...
