DualGLEAN: Dual Allocation for VLM-Guided Generalized Category Discovery in Remote Sensing Images

Generalized category discovery (GCD) aims to classify known categories while discovering novel ones in unlabeled data, yet existing methods lack mechanisms to correct boundary-ambiguous samples that receive noisy pseudo-labels, as they primarily rely on visual feature learning wi...

A data quality checklist for undergraduate data stewardship: Development, implementation, and evidence from two library courses

Data quality is a top priority in data science and a critical aspect of data lifecycle management. This study introduces a student-centered, co-created Data Quality Checklist designed for undergraduate students in higher education. By involving students as co-creators, the checkl...

Bridging the Gap Between Treatment and Accountability: DR-TB Outcomes and Governance Signals in Rural Eastern Cape, South Africa (2020–2024)

Background: Monitoring treatment outcomes is central to evaluating drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) programmes and ensuring accountability, particularly in high-burden settings such as South Africa. However, routine surveillance data are often constrained by small sample sizes...

A Continuous Transferable Core–Valence Geometry Correction

Abstract Core–valence (CV) correlation causes systematic milliangstrom-scale bond contractions in main-group molecules. We develop an analytic radial model for the structural all-electron–frozen-core (AE–FC) correction otherwise obtained from explicit second-order Møller–Plesset...

Radiotherapy in Combination with CD20×CD3 Bispecific Antibodies for B-Cell Lymphoma: Biological Rationale, Current Evidence, and Open Questions

Background/Objectives: CD20×CD3 bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) have changed the management of relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Whether and how radiotherapy (RT) can be safely and usefully combined with BsAb therapy remains undefined. This Perspective reviews...

Identifying Optimal Locations for Primary Wood Processing Mills and their Potential Support in New Job Creation in Arkansas

Abstract Arkansas has experienced a decline in the number of primary wood processing mills (PWPMs) despite maintaining relatively stable roundwood production, raising concerns about efficient utilization of surplus forest resources and long-term forest management. This study iden...

Approximate Equilibrium Play in 4-Max Shove-or-Fold Poker: A Delayed-Linear Weighted-Averaging MCCFR Study at 8BB Effective Stacks

This technical note presents validated shove and call ranges for 4-player all-in-or-fold poker at 8 big-blind effective stacks. The strategy was produced using delayed-linear weighted-averaging Monte Carlo Counterfactual Regret Minimization (MCCFR), trained from iteration zero to...

Chinese translation, cultural adaptation, and psychometric testing of the patient education materials assessment tool for audiovisual materials

Abstract The provision of health information that can be easily understood by the general public can help improve health behaviors. However, there is a lack of tools to assess the quality of health education videos in the Chinese context. These tools are essential for the popular...

When Less Confidence Reaps More AI Benefits: A Compensatory Pattern Through Future Work Self-Salience

Introduction: In the context of AI becoming deeply embedded in professional environments, understanding how EAC drives employee innovative behavior (EIB) has become a critical issue in organizational psychology. Drawing on social cognitive theory (SCT) and complementarity theory,...

The Sovereign and the Machine: Hamlet’s Corporate Death

This article rereads Akira Kurosawa’s 1960 film The Bad Sleep Well as a modern Hamlet that relocates Shakespeare’s crisis of action from dynastic succession to postwar bureaucratic and corporate modernity. It shifts attention away from plot fidelity and toward how Hamletian funct...

Collatz Research: Modular, Ergodic, and Information-Loss Approaches Without Verified Growth Rate — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Collatz research clusters around modular arithmetic, ergodic/topological frameworks, and a claimed "Information-Loss Cascade" — but no verified closed-form growth rate beyond the trivial log₂(3) heuristic. | MATH: Collatz map T(n) = n/2 if even, (3n+1)/2 if odd. Heuristi...

Infectious Adverse Events in Pediatric Paracorporeal Ventricular Assist Devices: An Analysis of the Advanced Cardiac Therapies Improving Outcomes Network (ACTION) Registry

Infectious adverse events (IAEs) are common in children supported with paracorporeal ventricular assist devices (VADs). This study aimed to identify risk factors for IAEs from the Advanced Cardiac Therapy Improving Outcomes Network (ACTION) registry. We conducted a retrospective...

Resumen Se presentan fragmentos de la biografía de la Estela 6 de Aguateca depositada desde hace casi 45 años en el Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino, ubicado a 6.000 km de su lugar de origen en la selva de Guatemala. La investigación sintetiza la historia de la estela desde su...

Different types of environmental regulation and digital transformation: evidence from China’s A-share listed industrial firms

Using panel data on Chinese A-share listed industrial firms from 2014 to 2023, this study examines the nonlinear associations between command-and-control environmental regulation, market-incentive environmental regulation, and firms’ digital transformation. The results show a U-s...

A cU-Net-based surrogate model for predicting rough surface contact parameters in line-contact friction

Abstract Accurate and efficient prediction of contact parameters on rough surfaces is critical for the tribological design, condition monitoring, and failure analysis of line-contact components. Although physics-based models offer high prediction fidelity, their multi-field coupl...

Exploring the Genetic Variation of Fleece and Crutch Shedding in Sheep, Recorded at Different Times Within and Across Age Classes

The global value of wool from coarse woolled sheep continues to decline, prompting producers to seek alternatives that reduce or eliminate the need for shearing. Several sheep breeds naturally shed their fleece in response to photoperiod, and these breeds are being crossed with p...

Beyond Metallic Electrodes: Semiconductor Photoelectrocatalysis for Organic Synthesis

Abstract Photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) systems convert incident light into photovoltage, enabling reactions to proceed at significantly reduced overpotentials. Leveraging this inherent energy efficiency, recent efforts have rapidly expanded PEC applications beyond traditional energ...

An Environmental Monitoring CO2 Sensor Based on LLZO Solid Electrolyte Film and WC – Li2CO3 Auxiliary Phase

As the requirements for information accuracy in various application fields continue to increase, the grid-based deployment of CO2 sensors is playing an increasingly crucial role in air quality monitoring, agricultural intelligent regulation, and climate change research. For large...

Beyond Knowledge: CHORDI as a Meta-Reasoning Framework for Responsible Reasoning and Action in Autonomous AI

Abstract Autonomous AI systems require more than knowledge and task optimization: they must also determine when a goal, value, safety consideration, or human interest creates a conflict that warrants reconsideration of the current evaluative frame. Building on CHORDI (Conflict to...

Fully automated pipeline for localization and scoring of rheumatic disease related regions and pathologies in hand MRI

Rheumatic diseases constitute a major cause of chronic pain, functional impairment, and long-term disability worldwide. In rheumatic diseases, reliable assessment of structural damage and inflammatory activity is essential for diagnosis, disease monitoring, and treatment response...
