Obscure engine: China’s Typical Case system for intellectual property law – empirical and doctrinal insights

Abstract This paper integrates empirical and doctrinal approaches to demystify the intellectual property law Typical Case system in China. IP Typical Cases have proliferated nationwide, yet their institutional meaning – particularly what makes them ‘typical’ and what functions th...

Understanding the Topology of Simple Coordination Structures in Nonmolecular Solids – A Course on Symmetry and Catenation of Polyhedra

Abstract We present a course explaining structural features found in inorganic ion crystals aiming to give an outline to lecturers for a stepwise introduction to specific structural phenomena. It deals with the symmetry of polyhedra and its modification starting from isolated one...

AI Self-Attestation Bias: Evidence Gaps in Completion Claims and Their Governance

English preprint v0.3.0 (2026-09-08), aligned with the finalized Chinese manuscript v0.4.3. Drawing on 42 days of fully archived human–AI collaboration in a securities firm's NEEQ listing engagement, this paper audits 8,589 claimed artifacts. Only 7.58% carry all three verifiable...

Overcoming and The Ninth Day: The Sacramental Life and Resistance in Nazi Germany

Volker Schlöndorff’s film The Ninth Day (2004) presents for cultural remembrance a story loosely based on Father Jean Bernard’s short furlough from the Dachau concentration camp during the Second World War, as told in his memoir Priestblock 25487. The film functions as a distinct...

Influence of Different Saline and Alkali Aquaculture on the Nutritional Composition, Physicochemical Properties, and Flavor Profile of Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus)

Saline and alkali aquaculture offers a sustainable strategy to alleviate pressure on freshwater resources and ecologically ameliorate saline and alkali environments; however, information regarding the quality of aquatic products from such conditions remains scarce. This study eva...

Dietary Fiber Supplementation Reduces Systolic Blood Pressure in High-Risk Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Hypertension: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Trial

Background/Objectives: Dietary fiber supplementation has been associated with blood pressure (BP) reduction, but evidence comparing soluble (SDF) and insoluble (IDF) fiber types in high-risk populations is limited. This study aimed to compare the effects of SDF and IDF supplement...

Examples for nuclear innovation – part 2: transportable and mobile heat pipe cooled microreactors

Abstract The second part of this publication on examples for nuclear innovation deals with new designs of transportable and mobile heat pipe cooled microreactors. Alkali metal filled heat pipes are one of the central components for the operational and residual heat removal from t...

How Can Peer Presence Cause Distraction and Error Among Construction Workers? A Virtual Reality Study

Construction workplaces are hazard-rich environments where workers must maintain sustained attention to prevent human errors. In parallel, construction jobsites are inherently social environments that require collaborative work and peer interactions. Such interactions and peer pr...

The distribution of fitness effects of nonsynonymous mutations varies phylogenetically across animals

The distribution of fitness effects (DFE) describes the selection coefficients of newly arising mutations and fundamentally influences population genetic processes. However, the extent and mechanisms of differences in the DFE for non-synonymous mutations have not been systematica...

Selection and prediction of targeted serum protein biomarkers for early diagnosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Achieving early diagnosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is crucial for reducing the disease burden. This study aims to identify potential serum protein biomarkers associated with the early diagnosis of ESCC in two independent populations and further develop diagnos...

Comparison of alkali-silica reaction mitigation between supersulfated cement and Portland cement

Deleterious alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in concrete occurs between alkaline ions and reactive minerals present in aggregates. Studies with Portland cement (PC) have shown that alumina can help form a protective film that surrounds the aggregate and hinders the dissolution of rea...

An Explicit Rational Homotopy from the Faran Map to a Linear Map in Target Dimension Four

We construct a homotopy through proper rational holomorphic maps from the unit ball in C^2 to the unit ball in C^4, joining (z,w) -> (z^3,sqrt(3)zw,w^3,0) to (z,w) -> (z,w,0,0). The construction answers the explicit target-four question in the AIM list on the Cauchy-Riemann equat...

Heme Peroxo Reaction Intermediates: Mimicking Biological Structure and Reactivity With Synthetic Model Systems

Heme enzymes are at the center of a mélange of salient transformations in biology, and for aerobic life, dioxygen binding and activation are by far the most critical. These enzymes typically channel through a panel of distinct heme-oxygen adducts, of which early- or mid-valent (i...

Longing for More than People: A Cultural and Historical Dialogue for Understanding Loneliness and the Built Environment

As loneliness is a concern for many, both due to its associations with adverse health outcomes and due to its, by definition, negative connotations for the individual, it is important to identify ways to address it. The built environment may be one such way. The aim of this conce...

Correlation of Nutritional Status and Blood Pressure of Apparently Healthy Primary School Pupils Aged 6–12 years in Zaria Local Government Area of Kaduna State

Anthropometric indices have become practical tools for evaluating the nutritional status of populations. Understanding the nutritional status of children has far-reaching implications for promoting the health of future generations. The necessity for routine blood pressure screeni...

SU(2) Double-Covered Spinon Lattice Harmonics Encode phi-Encoded E8 Root Pair Dynamics — E8 Intelligence Research

E8's 240 roots form spinon pairs mapped via SU(2) double-cover scaling under φ, generating self-consistent harmonics at 132Hz multiples. This reveals spinor sublattices with intrinsic φ-encoded chirality, unifying geometric quantization and classical symmetry breaking. Phi coupli...

Oral reading fluency assessment assisted by AI: associations with executive functions and intelligence in schoolchildren

OBJECTIVE: Oral reading fluency is central to reading proficiency, yet its relationships with distinct cognitive domains remain unclear. This study investigated the associations between oral reading fluency, executive functions, and intelligence in schoolchildren. METHODS: Studen...

Iterative Refinement of a Sensory-Based Mindfulness Coaching Approach: An Exploratory Qualitative Action Research Study with Korean University Students

This exploratory qualitative action research study examined the implementation and iterative refinement of mindfulness–flow–awareness–coaching (MFAC), a sensory-based mindfulness coaching approach, and explored participants’ reported experiences. Six Korean university students co...

Functional and Mechanistic Studies of the EST Gene in the Gonads of Chlamys farreri

Estrogen sulfotransferase (EST), a member of the sulfotransferase (SULT) family, catalyzes estrogen sulfation and regulates its activity and content. EST has been mainly studied in vertebrates. Our previous analysis of EST expression in kidney, hepatopancreas, mantle, adductor mu...
