A Five-Year Time Series Reveals Recurrent and Episodic Microbial Community Dynamics in an Oligotrophic Lake

Microbial community dynamics are central to the functioning of freshwater ecosystems, yet short-term surveys fail to capture long-term ecological trajectories. Here, we present a five-year monthly time series of microbial communities and environmental variables in Lake Soyang, a...

CosmoBeating • Causal Ledger (CB•CL) A Ledger Reading of Time: Why Physics Never Settled What Time Is A short, non-technical companion to the five-paper CosmoBeating: Causal Ledger (CB•CL) series, written for readers in physics, philosophy of science, or quantum foundations — not...

Quantum Teleportation: Entanglement, Not Matter Transport — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Quantum teleportation is a protocol for transferring an unknown quantum state via shared entanglement and classical communication, not a physical transport of matter. | MATH: Bell state basis: |Φ±⟩ = (|00⟩ ± |11⟩)/√2, |Ψ±⟩ = (|01⟩ ± |10⟩)/√2; teleportation requires 2 cla...

A pancreatic cancer organoid-macrophage co-culture using starPEG-heparin hydrogel deciphers tumor-immune cell interactions

Abstract Macrophages are among the most abundant immune cells in the pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumor microenvironment (TME) and play a key role in regulating the immunosuppressive niche that facilitates tumor growth. Although recent three-dimensional (3D) culture sy...

Horizon-optimal allocation of finite thermodynamic support in redundantly supported constrained Markov networks

Horizon-optimal allocation of finite thermodynamic support in redundantly supported constrained Markov networks. When multiple physical support channels can realize the same present active-face requirement while drawing from different finite reservoirs, the allocation of throughp...

Expanding Jaw Tailstock Grip and Controlled Torsional Forming: A Retrofit Assembly for Standard Lathes

This paper proposes two connected mechanical innovations for standard lathe platforms. The first is an expanding jaw tailstock grip: a shaft-mounted radially-expanding jaw mechanism that inserts into the open bore of a hollow workpiece or a sacrificially-bored solid workpiece end...

Local and Gradual Updating in Human Psychic Processing

This technical note develops a human-specific account of local and gradual updating within the Human Psychic Processing / Psychological Architecture branch of GTCS while preserving a strict distinction from structural transformation. Actual structural transformation remains an in...

The neglected minority: perceived student engagement, teacher emotions, and well-being among male english teachers

Abstract Background Teacher well-being is closely connected to teachers’ classroom experiences, yet limited research has examined how perceived student engagement and discrete teacher emotions are associated with the well-being of novice male English teachers. This study therefor...

VAFB-1988-17: Documentation in Support of Determination of Eligibility for Sites SBA-549 and SBA-2146

This document is a report that evaluates two prehistoric properties (CA-SBA-549 and 2146) for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Both of these properties will be affected by installation of the Space Transportation System (STS) natural gas pipeline. Descr...

LAB #1868 NEUTRAL: LEDGER BENCH: Apply filter: USDCHF LONG — improves win rate from 32.0% to 35.6% (+3.6pp, n=90) — E8 Intelligence Research

IDEA: Adjustment made to the live model — verify against the backtests: Apply filter: USDCHF LONG — improves win rate from 32.0% to 35.6% (+3.6pp, n=90) SAME-WINDOW EFFECT: Applying a USDCHF LONG-only filter would have had zero direct impact on the current live window, as none of...

Potential roles of short-chain fatty acids in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from the gut-lung axis perspective: an exploratory trend summary and discussion on biological mechanisms based on current evidence

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) have been proposed as mediators of the gut-lung axis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the human evidence is limited and heterogeneous across disease states and specimen types. We therefore synthesized the available evidence...

Weight Stigma, Body Trust, and Suicide Ideation Among Adolescents: A Longitudinal Study

ABSTRACT Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death, with rates rising during adolescence. In the United States, suicide deaths rose among 15–24‐year‐olds and more than doubled among 10–14‐year‐olds from 2008 to 2018, with one in six reporting suicidal ideation (SI) annually. W...
