MFGB-DBSCAN: a multi-factor granular ball-based density clustering algorithm with adaptive parameter optimization

Density-based clustering algorithms such as DBSCAN can identify clusters with arbitrary shapes, but their performance is often limited by global parameter sensitivity and high computational cost on complex datasets. Granular-ball-based methods improve efficiency by replacing poin...

Combined effects of authentic leadership and HRM practices on workplace deviance: the mediating role of trust in leadership

Purpose Drawing on Social Exchange Theory (SET), this study examines the influence of authentic leadership on employees' workplace deviance, positing that trust in leadership serves as a central mediating mechanism. Furthermore, this process depends on followers' perceptions of H...

Exertional Rhabdomyolysis With Moderate Creatine Kinase Elevation and Marked Transaminase Elevation but Preserved Synthetic Function: A Case Report

Objective: Unusual clinical course Background:Rhabdomyolysis is a skeletal muscle injury syndrome characterized by release of intracellular contents into the circulation.Abnormal liver biochemical test results are commonly observed in severe rhabdomyolysis.Most published cases ha...

Severe cutaneous adverse reactions and their association with autoimmune disease: an update

Severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs), including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), are T-cell-mediated hypersensitivity reacti...

A Phase-Geometric Framework with Fixed Planck Length, Mathematical Subdivided Coordinates, and Cyclic Cosmic Evolution: Extended Classical Mechanics

Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) presents a phase-, frequency-, energy-, and propagation-based framework for describing physical emergence from an initial zero-length potential-energy state. The formulation retains the Planck length ℓₚ = 1.616255 × 10⁻³⁵ m as a fixed physical r...

Not Only Hardships: Raising the Visibility of the Experiences of Black and Racialized Musicians Through Participatory Arts-Based Research

The Canadian music industry maintains systemic barriers of inequality and discrimination, especially for Black and racialized musicians. Meanwhile, community music programs foster inclusive opportunities for participants to engage in music making and develop music industry career...

A Machine Learning Platform for Imputing Missing Critical Quality Attributes in Pharmaceutical Development

Quality control is fundamental to drug development, with critical quality attributes (CQAs) serving as key indicators of product performance. However, missing or incomplete CQA data remains a persistent challenge throughout pharmaceutical research and manufacturing. In this study...

Viscosity estimation from elastohydrodynamic response of a magnetic flagellated microswimmer

Reliable viscosity measurement at small length scales is essential for a wide range of applications, from microfluidics to biomedical systems. The magnetic flagellated microswimmers, whose dynamics arise from the coupled effects of elasticity, hydrodynamics, and magnetic actuatio...

Impact of PGPR-enriched tuff on biochemical characteristics, antioxidant enzyme activities and hormonal responses in walnut saplings

Walnut (Juglans regia L.) is one of the most economically important tree nuts worldwide due to its nutritional and health-promoting properties. The use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in agriculture is increasing attention as a sustainable alternative to intensivel...

Decoding organic food choices: exploring brand identification, credibility, ambiguity tolerance in shaping consumer attitudes and intentions using SEM and fsQCA

Purpose This study examines the influence of consumers' brand image identification, credibility towards organic food brands and ambiguity tolerance on the attitude-intention link, grounded in the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) framework. It also explores the mediating role of...

Entertainment Sedentary Time and Subjective Well-Being in College Students: A Moderation Model of Perceived Time Poverty

This study examined the association between entertainment sedentary time (EST) and subjective well-being (SWB) among Chinese college students and further explored the moderating role of perceived time poverty (PTP). A total of 1582 college students completed questionnaires assess...

GraphRAG-ADR: a knowledge graph–enhanced approach for extracting Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) from patient narratives

Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) extraction from patient narratives is a challenging problem due to informal language, high lexical variability, and the gap between colloquial expressions and standardized medical terminology. Although large language models (LLMs) have improved extract...

Cold and hot tumors: immunological determinants, cancer-immunity cycle dysregulation, and nanotechnology-driven therapeutic approaches

Abstract Cancer remains a major global health burden and the second leading cause of mortality worldwide. Recent advances in cancer immunotherapy have emphasized the critical role of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in determining therapeutic outcomes, leading to the classificati...

Embedding clinical event sequences enhances infection risk prediction in asplenic patients

Asplenic patients are predisposed to severe infections and other harmful health outcomes due to their compromised immune function. Accurately predicting these risk events is crucial to facilitate timely and personalised clinical interventions. This study aims to evaluate embeddin...

Comprehensive analysis of factors influencing temporal changes in airborne grass pollen

Grass pollen is considered a primary allergenic source worldwide and constitutes an important global public health concern. This is due to several characteristics, including massive pollen production for wind pollination and the abundance of grass-dominated vegetation near densel...

The Agentic Development Protocol: A Self-Falsifying Process Standard for Shipping Production Software with AI Agent Teams

Teams adopting AI coding agents report a consistent paradox: velocity rises while trust falls. In a randomized controlled trial, experienced developers took 19% longer to complete real tasks with early-2025 AI tools, while estimating after the fact that AI had made them 20% faste...
