A companion paper fixed a static scoring function, Hc = K · λ^b · S(β(φ - φ0)), and evaluated it once per system. This paper treats that snapshot as one reading of a process: C(t) is defined as a gated stochastic-volatility exponential: an operations term Λ(t), an integration gat...

This study conceptualizes the 1928 Alphabet Reform in Türkiye not merely as an orthographic change, but as a deep-rooted epistemic rupture that reconstructed social memory. Specifically, it examines how the influential Cumhuriyet newspaper functioned as an ideological state appar...

Abstract Small cell lung cancer is one of the most aggressive malignancies, characterized by rapid tumor growth, early metastatic spread and extremely poor survival. Although most patients initially respond to platinum-based chemotherapy, relapse is almost inevitable and treatmen...

Abstract The use of alternative fuels such as methane, methanol, and ammonia is quintessential for the shipping decarbonization. However, to minimize their carbon footprint and achieve net-zero targets, these fuels’ production must involve energy from renewable sources. This stud...

As the logistics environment changes dramatically in cities around the world, various freight-related issues have emerged. To address these issues, responses from the public sector are becoming increasingly important, especially at the local government level. However, knowledge a...

We do NOT claim detection of a causal membrane in Spritz LDC2b. We do NOT validate a membrane. This record documents what this pipeline actually does: it survives realistic instrumental gaps and glitches where official LDC scripts fail, and reveals that current methodology may ov...

Essential oil production is increasingly framed not only as an extraction challenge but as a circular biorefinery problem in which essential oil, hydrosol, process water, and solid residues should be jointly valorized. This systematic review synthesized evidence on production tec...

FINDING: Goodstein's theorem demonstrates that every Goodstein sequence terminates at 0, yet this statement is unprovable within Peano Arithmetic (PA), requiring transfinite induction up to the ordinal ε₀ for proof. | MATH: Goodstein sequence: start with m in base 2, write in her...

FINDING: Elkies & Klagsbrun have pushed elliptic curve rank records (≥29) via new torsion-preserving constructions, building on Elkies' earlier parameterization work. | MATH: Elliptic curve \(E/\mathbb{Q}\) with rank \(r \geq 29\); construction uses polynomial parameterization of...

Military Sexual Trauma and Eating Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Military sexual trauma (MST) poses a significant public health concern within military populations, with enduring health consequences including the development of eating disorders (EDs). This review synthesizes existing literature to explore the association between MST and EDs am...

The Golden Ratio's Uniqueness: Nature's Most Irrational Number — E8 Intelligence Research
FINDING: The golden ratio's unique irrationality — its continued fraction of all ones — makes it the "most irrational" number, directly driving phyllotaxis and optimal packing in nature. | MATH: Golden ratio φ = (1+√5)/2 = 1.618...; continued fraction φ = [1;1,1,1,...]; irrationa...

FINDING: The spectral gap of a Coxeter element in an irreducible root system is governed by the eigenvalue \(4\cos^2(\pi/h)\), linking Cartan matrices to spectral geometry. | MATH: For a Coxeter element \(c\) with Coxeter number \(h\), the eigenvalues are \(e^{2\pi i k/h}\) (for...

This study investigates the wall paintings in Cave No. 47 of the Kizil Grottoes, the earliest surviving Giant Buddha cave. p-XRF, SEM-EDX, XRD, and micro-Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize the painting materials, stratigraphy, and alteration products. Three plaster and...

The Power of the Dreaming. A Study on the Role of Time in Physics
This paper presents a philosophical thought experiment concerning the physical definition of power, P = W/t. Rather than treating time as a homogeneous and purely metric interval, it asks how the concept of power changes when examined through a relational temporality inspired by...

The Laws of Persistence Science
Persistence Science seeks to explain why systems survive, adapt, decline, or collapse across physical, biological, organizational, economic, technological, and civilizational domains. This paper introduces the foundational framework of Persistence Science, grounded in the Persist...
- BiologyOpen access
Neurodivergence is frequently framed as a superiority claim. The evidence does not support this. The defensible claim is narrower: cognitive outliers are not shifted upward as a population; they are spread wider. This paper assembles three convergent lines of association, not cau...

Assessment of small watershed stormwater sampling methods
ABSTRACT Measurements of contaminants in runoff are essential for stormwater management. Sampling accuracy is difficult to assess due to the cost and labor of field studies and the large variation in runoff behavior between sites, rain events, and pollutants. Stormwater sampling...

Abstract Background In pigeons, reproductive success is driven primarily by male courtship and copulatory behavior, both of which require threshold levels of circulating testosterone. This study investigated the effects of exogenous testosterone propionate (TP) injection on serum...

Why the observer is immaterial
This paper examines the ontological nature of the observer in Special Relativity. In the visual field of a stationary observer, light overtakes an external moving material object at an effective separation speed of c − v. However, relative to the observer's own frame of observati...
