Heightened sensory sensitivity, including visual discomfort, is common in migraine, autism, and the wider population, and is linked to headaches, perceptual disturbances, and reduced quality of life. We tested whether coloured screen filters reduce visual discomfort and whether s...

The Early Evolution of Deep Space Navigation
Abstract An existing series of papers has described the evolution of deep space navigation over the time interval 1962 to 2021. This paper complements the series by examining a broad range of prior or contemporaneous events, starting in the post-war years, that contributed to the...

When Does a Frozen Time-Series Foundation Model's Uncertainty Fail, and What Actually Fixes It?
Do frozen time-series foundation models produce trustworthy prediction intervals under distribution shift? This record contains the code, logs, results and manuscript for a shift-stratified reliability audit of frozen Chronos-Bolt and Chronos-T5 on public GluonTS benchmarks, runn...

Early Emergence of Cultural Differences in Audiovisual Speech Perception
Integrating auditory and visual cues is a hallmark of human speech perception, yet adults from East Asian backgrounds show less reliance on visual speech than their Western counterparts. The origins of this cultural difference, however, remain unknown. To investigate whether this...

Assessing the toxicological effects of synthetic musk ketone using the Caenorhabditis elegans model
Synthetic musk ketone (MK) is extensively used in perfumes, cosmetics, and detergents. Due to its high lipophilicity, persistence, and limited removal efficiency in wastewater treatment, MK has been detected in various environmental matrices and human tissues. However, the ecotox...

Depression is one of the most prevalent mental health disorders among adolescents globally and is a growing public health concern in Nepal. This study aimed to determine the school-based prevalence and factors associated with depressive symptoms among secondary school adolescents...

Characterization and visualization of electronically excited states are essential for understanding photophysical and photochemical processes in condensed molecular systems. Here, we present a procedure to reconstruct the total transition density matrix (TDM) using the fragment m...

Generative drawing systems and emergent spiral formation
Emergent Spirals: Generative Drawing Systems and Emergent Spiral Formation is a practice-based research paper investigating how complex spiral structures can emerge through the repeated application of a simple manual drawing procedure. Developed through sustained studio research...

Microbial adhesion promotes Piezo1 activation to initiate innate immunity
Abstract How mammals mount an effective immune response against infectious agents remains unresolved. Here we identify microbial adhesion to myeloid cells as a critical initiating event that precedes pattern recognition receptor (PRR) engagement. Using a skin infection model with...

Uniqueness in multivariate curve resolution, re-tuned
There are many misunderstandings about the term and interpretation of uniqueness in multivariate curve resolution tasks. In CAC2026 Tarragona, it turned out that even mathematicians do not properly construe Manne’s theorems. So we decided to provide this re-tuned summary, using s...

Continuous-time random walk description of anomalous spin transport in dilute dipolar networks
Nuclear spin diffusion is often summarized by a single diffusion coefficient, but this coarse-grained description can fail in dilute solids where positional disorder and long-range dipolar couplings generate a broad distribution of hopping rates. We develop a continuous-time rand...

A prime-square multiplier obstruction for Legendre pairs
A Legendre pair of odd length n consists of two cyclic sign sequences whose periodic autocorrelations sum to −2 at every nonzero shift; it yields a Hadamard matrix of order 2n + 2. Let p be an odd prime and q a positive integer, with n = p²q odd. For every offset c modulo n, neit...

This work presents a theoretical development program for a single-administration adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy designed to treat chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the domestic cat. The approach centers on the delivery of an affinity-detuned variant of feline Apoptosis I...

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) constitute an integrated framework for global sustainability, yet progress remains inconsistent across regions and indicators four years before 2030. Identifying the key issues and factors that influence SDG performance is therefore essent...

BACKGROUND: Pharmacological cancer risk reduction has received far less investment than therapeutic oncology and only a few agents have entered routine practice. Understanding the predictors of positive outcomes of previous trials and issues faced is critical to future developmen...

This brief article addresses a common question that may occur upon first reading Maxwell’s 1868 paper titled "On a method of making a direct comparison of electrostatic with electromagnetic force; with a note on the electromagnetic theory of Light" [1]. The primary question that...

A comparative study of large language models in responding to breast cancer–related questions
Abstract Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide. With advances in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, more patients seek information about their condition. Large language models (LLMs) have attracted attention in healthcare for their ability to...

Early architectural decisions shape building energy demand and life cycle carbon, yet digital support remains fragmented across modelling, simulation and performance workflows. This systematic review examines how digital twin (DT) frameworks, tools and workflows are applied at th...

Brain structural and functional connectivity converge prenatally but diverge after birth
Brain anatomical architecture supports its functional activity and complex cognitive processes. However, how the structure–function (SF) relationship establishes and develops during early life, as well as its underlying mechanisms, remain largely unclear. To address these questio...
