Liquid CO2 Replacement and SequestrationBehavior after Depressurization Production of Methane Hydrates

Abstract Aligned with China’s “dual carbon” strategic objectives, natural gas hydrates─recognized as a crucial source of clean unconventional natural gas─constitute a significant technological avenue for securing national energy stability and meeting carbon reduction targets thro...

Aerial Application of Granular Potassium Chloride: Effects of Flight Height and Application Rate on Deposition Uniformity

The pursuit of greater efficiency in agricultural operations, particularly in input application, has led producers to adopt strategies aimed at minimizing production costs. Aerial fertilizer application has emerged as a viable alternative due to its high operational efficiency an...

This study assessed public administration and solid waste management service delivery in Port Harcourt Metropolis, Rivers State, Nigeria, focusing on institutional and administrative arrangements, service delivery performance, operational challenges, and improvement strategies. T...

Robot-Assisted PET/CT-Guided Biopsy in Pelvic Malignancies: A Promising Approach for Accurate Diagnosis and Precision Medicine

Precise diagnosis of deep pelvic malignancies in patients is challenging due to complex anatomy and limited access. This case series explores the feasibility and accuracy of trans gluteal robot-assisted PET/CT-guided biopsy to overcome such limitations. All three patients underwe...

The well-being and ill-being impacts of values clarification: a systematic review of randomised controlled trials

Values play a central role in living a fulfilling life. However, the literature on interventions to clarify core values is widely dispersed. To address this, we performed a systematic review of RCTs that encouraged participants to select, reflect on, and (occasionally) act on the...

Christian Humanism in the Black Atlantic: The Case of Olaudah Equiano

Abstract This article explores Olaudah Equiano as a pivotal figure in the emergence of a Christian humanism forged within the Black Atlantic. Building on the analyses of Sylvia Wynter and Paul Gilroy, it examines how Equiano's The Interesting Narrative contests the racial figurat...

MODEL ADOPTION #1093: REJECT — LEDGER BENCH: Apply filter: Quarterly phase = ACCUMULATION — improves win rate from 31.7% — E8 Intelligence Research

DECISION: REJECT ELEMENT: The "Quarterly phase = ACCUMULATION" filter is not a concrete, testable edge compatible with E8 geometry timing. It is a calendar-based heuristic that ignores the rhythm logic of Gods-Clock and FADE polarity. The backtested +12.5pp win rate is likely an...

E8 Quantum Temporal Lattice – A Hierarchical Frequency Clock — E8 Intelligence Research

By projecting the 240 E8 root vectors onto a 4‑dimensional time lattice and anchoring the fundamental tick at 132 Hz, we discover an intrinsic hierarchy of sub‑ticks that scale by powers of the golden ratio φ. The PDE model of Fibonacci‑phyllotaxis predicts that this lattice natu...

Early Recurrent Large Vessel Occlusion After Hemorrhagic Transformation in Newly Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation: Challenges in Anticoagulation Timing and Repeat Mechanical Thrombectomy

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major cause of cardioembolic stroke, and decisions regarding anticoagulation become particularly challenging when hemorrhagic transformation occurs after reperfusion therapy. We report the case of a 76-year-old man who presented with an acute left mi...

Make in India, Atmanirbhar Bharat, and Industrial Policy in the Global Value Chain Context

The structure of global production has undergone significant transformation with the emergence of Global Value Chains (GVCs). Instead of producing goods entirely within national borders, production processes are fragmented across multiple countries where each stage of production...

Rethinking Emissions Trading: State Rescaling and the Administrative Foundations of Tokyo’s Cap-and-Trade System

As cities assume growing responsibility for climate mitigation, an important question is whether urban carbon markets can serve as effective instruments of decarbonisation. While emissions trading research has focused primarily on emissions outcomes, less attention has been paid...

Phenotypic screening of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae using tellurite resistance and carbohydrate fermentation testing

ABSTRACT Phenotypic identification of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae in routine laboratories remains challenging. We evaluated tellurite resistance and selected carbohydrate fermentation tests as phenotypic tools for screening hypervirulent strains and improving lineage iden...

Fathers, Mothers, Sons, and Daughters: Parent–Child Relationships and the Intergenerational Transmission of Divorce

ABSTRACT Objective This study examines whether and how post‐divorce mother–son, mother–daughter, father–son, and father–daughter relationships buffer or amplify the intergenerational transmission of divorce (ITD). Background Children who experience parental divorce are more likel...

Enhancing Cellulose Reactivity in Textile Waste via Cold-Alkali Swelling

Global fiber demand is rising rapidly, yet less than 1% of discarded textiles are recycled into new materials. Here, cold-alkali swelling followed by acid reprecipitation was investigated as a pretreatment to improve cellulose accessibility and reactivity in textile-waste feedsto...

Tinea capitis in the Americas: Epidemiological Trends and Etiological Distribution from a Systematic Review

Background: Tinea capitis remains one of the most common superficial fungal infections in children worldwide and represents an important public health concern due to its high prevalence, potential complications, and changing epidemiology. This study aimed to characterize the epid...

Perylenediimide Halogen Substitution-Modulated Photochromism and Photocatalytic Activity in Metal−Organic Frameworks

Abstract Perylenediimides (PDIs), which feature strong visible-light absorption, π-electron-deficient planes, and photochemical characteristics, offer a versatile platform for developing tunable and efficient metal−organic framework (MOF) materials through modulation of their bay...

Six Sigma application in the aerospace and aviation industry: A case study

This study examines the application of the Six Sigma Define–Measure–Analyze–Improve–Control (DMAIC) methodology to reduce weld seam and internal structural defects in titanium tube welding within the aerospace and aviation industry. A case study approach was conducted in an aeros...

Simultaneous Determination of Total and Unbound Amphotericin B by LC–MS/MS: Application to Protein Binding Analysis

ABSTRACT Amphotericin B (AmB), a first‐line antifungal agent, is highly protein‐bound, and its efficacy and toxicity are primarily determined by the unbound fraction. However, current therapeutic drug monitoring mainly relies on total plasma concentrations, and clinical data on u...

A Head-to-Head Comparison of Three Literature Algorithms for Physical Activity Endpoints from a Wrist Accelerometer in Free-Living Conditions

Wrist accelerometers are widely used in clinical trials for continuous assessment of participants’ day-to-day physical activity and function, through derivation of metrics such as time spent in sedentary, non-sedentary, light, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Mu...
