Smart Polymeric Wound Dressings for Wound Treatment: Contributions and Applications

Wound management continues to represent a major global healthcare challenge, with the wound care market growing each year and a rising incidence of chronic wounds worldwide. Effective wound healing requires dressings that protect injured tissue, prevent infection, and actively mo...

THEORETICAL ARCHITECTURE, MACROECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY, AND INSTITUTIONAL GOVERNANCE IN THE DIRECT PARTICIPATORY POLITICAL SYSTEM

ABSTRACT This manuscript establishes the structural, epistemological, and institutional foundations of the DIRECT PARTICIPATORY POLITICAL SYSTEM. It addresses current international debates regarding the systemic crisis of representative democracy, public administration failures,...

Ultrathin 2D Multivariate Hydrogen‐Bonded Organic Framework Nanosheets for Fluorescent DNA Sensing

The multivariate strategy is generally incompatible with densely packed structures, as this approach typically requires porous frameworks to manage the steric demands of incorporated functional groups. Without sufficient free volume, the frameworks are prone to structural transfo...

EXTRACTED METHOD: e8_projection_ratio_check — E8 Intelligence Research

rule: for each claimed ratio r from video, compute all pairwise normalized distances between E8 root vectors (240 vectors); if r matches any distance within 0.001, record the matching polytope (e.g., 600-cell, 120-cell) source: rlab #130 Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent...

Efficacy and Safety of Time-Restricted Eating in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Trial

OBJECTIVE: Many adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have overweight or obesity, underscoring the need for effective dietary weight loss strategies in this population. Time-restricted eating (TRE) has emerged as a popular approach for weight loss; however, its efficacy and safety in...

Corporate Governance as a Determinant of Environmental Performance: A Systematic Literature Review

<ns5:p>This review aims to present the literature on corporate governance-related determinants of Environmental/Carbon performance through a systematic literature review using the PRISMA method. A total of 41 papers were shortlisted from the Web of Science database based on keywo...

Altering the surface properties of Al 6061 by depositing tungsten-copper through the spark discharge process

This study explores the surface modification of Al 6061 using the electrical discharge coating method with a tungsten-copper (W-Cu) tool (75:25 weight%) fabricated through powder metallurgy. The effect of compact load, peak current and pulse on-time on material deposition rate (M...

The TII Digital Heritage Collections: playing with the data

Since 2017, Transport infrastructure Ireland (TII) has been disseminating archaeological excavation reports and other data from its projects via the TII Digital Heritage Collections (https://repository.dri.ie/catalog/v6936m966), which is hosted by the Digital Repository of Irelan...

Albumin Precoating of Nanoparticles: A Reliable StealthStrategy?

Abstract Albumin precoating has emerged as a strategy to impart nanoparticles (NPs) with stealth-like properties and as an alternative to NP surface PEGylation. Yet how such coatings influence protein corona formation and hemocompatibility in human blood remains poorly understood...

Successful Endovascular Revascularization of Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease With Favorable Outcome for Refractory Heart Failure After Axillary‐Bifemoral Bypass Surgery: A Case Report

Endovascular therapy for occlusive lesion might reduce cardiac afterload and improve cardiac function potentially, but there is limited evidence regarding its effects on heart failure, particularly in patients with poorly controlled symptoms. One month earlier, this 80-year-old w...

Beyond Tool Rationality: Contextualizing AR Picture Book Acceptance in Parent–Child Shared Reading

Augmented reality (AR) picture books are increasingly used in family learning and parent–child shared reading, but their adoption within families remains underexplored. Based on 439 valid responses from Chinese families, structural equation modeling examined adoption determinants...

Regulation of Egg Quality by Methionine Selenium: Physicochemical and Structural Characteristics of EggShell, Egg Yolk, and Egg White

Selenium is an essential trace element in the body, and supplementing it in production can improve egg quality. Sixty healthy 48-week-old Hy-Line Brown laying hens were randomly assigned to two groups. In this study, the effects of dietary selenomethionine (SeMet) supplementation...

The impact of NaOH, CaO, and [Ca 2+ ] + [HCO 3 − ] additions on PIC and POC formation in Los Angeles Harbor Waters

Abstract. Negative CO2 emission technologies such as ocean alkalinity enhancement, in tandem with emissions reduction are necessary to keep the climate system below a critical tipping point. While the biogeochemical consequences of alkalinity enhancement remain poorly constrained...

‘Poetry is not an art object but a useful object’: Mário Pinto de Andrade, Literary Activism and International Solidarity in Angola’s Liberation Struggle

This article investigates the role of poetry and literary publications as tools for building international solidarity during the early phases of the Angolan liberation struggle. It identifies Mário Pinto de Andrade – founding member and first president of the Movimento Popular de...

Declarative Causal Inference and Counterfactual Reasoning via SQL-Dialect Operators

Relational databases power high-stakes decisions in lending, healthcare, and justice, yet SQL lacks native constructs for causal and counterfactual reasoning. Prior SQL-based causal systems address parts of this gap but do not unify treatment-effect estimation with counterfactual...

A review of gas leakage from the subsurface into the environment

Subsurface gas leakage represents a complex and multifaceted issue in geosciences and energy sectors. It encompasses the unintentional release of gases such as methane, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide from (deep) subsurface into the environment. These leakages orig...

Evolution of apple scab prediction models from empirical systems to Artificial Intelligence based predictive frameworks

Apple scab poses a significant threat to apple production worldwide, necessitating effective management strategies. Over the decades, the evolution of apple scab prediction models has transitioned from empirical and rule-based approaches to sophisticated simulation and machine le...

Dynamic Parameter Identification of a Lower-Limb Exoskeleton Using RLS–AGWO

Accurate dynamic parameters are required for model-based control of lower-limb exoskeletons, but limited excitation, transmission friction, and assembly-dependent uncertainty can degrade conventional estimates. This study examines a two-stage method that combines recursive least...

Impact of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Disclosure on Investor Reactions: Evidence from Thailand

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure has received increasing attention in capital markets as investors place greater emphasis on sustainability information alongside financial information when evaluating firms. In this study, the authors examine the relationship...

The Correction Window Model: When Deliberation Becomes More Costly Than Correctable Error

Decision advice often treats speed and accuracy as opposing virtues: acting early risks error, while waiting permits better judgment. Existing work on bounded rationality, metareasoning, value of information, and real options explains why additional thought can be costly and why...
