Illusory early-warning signals of Greenland Ice Sheet destabilization

Interannual variability of surface mass balance over the Greenland Ice Sheet has been increasing, which has been cited as an early-warning signal of ice sheet destabilization under current climatic conditions. A destabilized ice sheet would continue to lose mass and contribute to...

eIF5A and polyamines restrict mRNA levels in response to ribosome stalls

Obstacles to translation elongation stall ribosomes and allow deleterious proteins to accumulate, which threatens cellular health. Cells recognize and clear stalled ribosomes via several interrelated pathways, although the mechanisms by which cells distinguish stalled from normal...

Crystal Creeping for Spatial Gradient Partitioning: A New Pre-Enrichment Strategy Assisting Multicomponent Crystallization Separation

Abstract Based on the significant difference in interfacial creeping behavior between ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) and hexamethylenetetramine (C6H12N4, HMTA), this work proposes a spatial gradient-based pre-enrichment strategy for multicomponent mixtures. Unlike conventional sequent...

Cosmological Special Theory of Relativity, Field Equations II:Electromagnetic Waves, the Dirac Equation, and the Yukawa Potential

The consolidated formulation of the Cosmological Special Theory of Relativity (CSTR) establishes the form-invariance, at fixed cosmological time t_0, of Maxwell's equations and Klein-Gordon equation, but does not derive the electromagnetic wave equation, it's solutions, the Dirac...

From Technical Performance to Assistive Validity: A Critical Review of Evaluation Approaches for AI-Enabled Assistive Technology

Background/Objectives: The increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into assistive technologies challenges evaluation models traditionally centred on usability, satisfaction and device-related outcomes. Because AI-enabled systems are probabilistic, data-dependent an...

Outer Membrane Vesicles as a Potential Pathway for Antibiotic Resistance Transfer between Cyanobacteria and Bacteria

Abstract Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have profoundly exacerbated environmental risks to public health, evolving into a pressing ecological dilemma. Distinct from traditional pathways, outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are emerging as important vectors for horizontal gene tran...

Therapeutic Potential of Selected Flavonoids as Natural Antidiabetic Agents

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains a major clinical challenge, with postprandial hyperglycemia (PPG) playing a key role in the development of vascular complications. Current pharmacotherapies often do not sufficiently control PPG, highlighting the need for complementary stra...

Ab Externo Transscleral Removal of Submacular Proliferative Bands in Pediatric Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment with PVR: A Surgical Technique Case Series

Purpose: To describe an ab externo surgical technique for submacular band removal in pediatric patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). Methods: Ten eyes of 10 pediatric patients diagnosed with RRD and PVR grade C...

Clinical Psychological Correlates of Malocclusion: Body Image Concerns and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life

Background: Malocclusion is a highly prevalent condition, affecting approximately 56% of the global population. Beyond its functional and physical characteristics, malocclusion has been associated with psychosocial outcomes, particularly body image concerns and perceived quality...

Measuring the Acute Effects of Concussion on the Sway Medical System Sports+ Test Battery

OBJECTIVE: To document the acute effects of sports-related concussion in student athletes on tests of balance and cognitive functioning, as measured by the Sway Medical System Sports+ test battery, compared with their baseline preinjury test scores. DESIGN: Retrospective observat...

Phi‑Tuned E8 Chern‑Simons Phononic Lattice for Topological Anyonic Memory — E8 Intelligence Research

By arranging the 240 E8 root vectors as a quasiperiodic lattice of nano‑resonators driven at the phi‑scaled 132Hz frequency, a synthetic Chern‑Simons gauge field emerges from the underlying Z₂ parity invariants of the structure. The phi modulation opens a bulk bandgap while prote...

What students ask matters: Static and longitudinal questioning patterns in student–LLM dialogue and self-reported cognitive engagement

This study examines students’ questioning as an interaction mechanism in student–LLM philosophical dialogue and how it relates to self-reported critical thinking (CT) and creative thinking (CrT) engagement. Participants were 106 first-year postgraduate students in a Chinese unive...

Spin magnetic moments in the half-metallic ferromagnet—ferromagnet interface region detected by depth-resolved x-ray magnetic circular dichroism

We study spin magnetic moments near half-metallic Co2FexMn1−xSi (CFMS)/metal interfaces using depth-resolved x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and analyze their robustness against thermal fluctuations. We prepare epitaxial magnetic multilayered films with CFMS/CoFe and CFM...

Surrogate-based multi-objective nose shape optimization for 400 km/h-class high-speed trains under open-air, crosswind, and tunnel operations

Abstract This study presents a surrogate-based multi-objective nose shape optimization for a 400 km/h-class high-speed train, considering normal open-air, crosswind open-air, and tunnel-related scenarios. The KTX-Cheongryong nose shape is parameterized using Bézier curves and a s...
