Metastable Fingerprint States in a Frustrated Cholesteric Liquid Crystal
Abstract We demonstrate a metastable fingerprint (mFP) state in a homeotropically aligned cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) with negative dielectric anisotropy. The mFP forms upon gradual removal of a high-voltage, low-frequency electric field and persists for several hours at zer...

Abstract Mutualistic networks provide essential contributions to long‐term ecosystem functioning and food security, but Anthropocene stressors continue to alter their structure and size. Previous theoretical approaches produce conflicting predictions for how network features infl...

EXPRESS: Brain pericytes bridge and constrict capillaries in a streptozotocin diabetes mouse model
Diabetes is an established driver of microvascular disease, causing complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy. However, the mechanisms whereby diabetes disrupts brain microvascular function remain poorly understood. Diabetes is strongly associated with cognit...

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...

METIS: A Heuristic Sociological Environment for Interpretive Qualitative Analysis
METIS is a heuristic sociological environment for the interpretive analysis of qualitative corpora. It is designed as an epistemic accompaniment device for qualitative social research, especially in the study of gender, inequalities, affects, identities and relational configurati...

For over two millennia, formal mathematics and standard logic have been structurally confined within the discrete walls of bivalent systems, restricting truth and membership to rigid endpoints $\{0, 1\}$ or artificial closed limits $[0, 1]$. This paper establishes the standalone...

Abstract: The present study provides a critical review of the research conducted on the impact of ecosystem disturbances on population dynamics and evolutionary processes within forest communities. Ecosystem disturbances, such as natural disasters, climate change, and human activ...

From Mysticism to Mathematics: A Corpus Analysis — E8 Intelligence Research
FINDING: The corpus spans Platonic number theology, Critchlow's geometric analysis, Carlson's cosmic cycles, and a proof-of-God claim — but the only rigorous mathematical content is the "Most Beautiful Proof" (likely Euler's identity or a geometric construction) and the "Oldest M...

Blue carbon ecosystems under pollution stress: Impacts and integrated carbon‐pollution monitoring
Abstract Coastal blue carbon ecosystems, including mangroves, seagrass meadows, and salt marshes, are globally important carbon sinks because they store organic carbon in vegetation biomass and waterlogged sediments over long timescales. However, nutrient enrichment, heavy metals...
