VETCORESSEN: A web application to streamline the management of veterinary medical records

Background Currently, pet adoption has increased significantly, and these animals require regular medical checkups to preserve their health and well-being. Veterinary consultations face growing difficulties, clinical records continuously increase, and many veterinary facilities s...

A Physics‐Informed Two‐Stage Retrieval Method for EMIT Remote Sensing Methane Plumes

Abstract Hyperspectral satellite missions, particularly EMIT, have revolutionized methane point source monitoring. However, current operational retrieval pipelines typically rely on physically‐based matched filters followed by labor‐intensive manual verification to mitigate high...

Morphology and Ion Transport in Zwitterionic Polysiloxanes

Abstract The recent discovery of superionic conductivity in doped polyzwitterions (PZIs) has opened a new direction for polymer electrolytes (PEs). Solid-state battery research is currently dominated by inorganic electrolytes due to their rigidity and high conductivity, but they...

Constraints on Horndeski Gravity with Phantom Crossing

Abstract Gravity models in which the dark energy equation of state crosses w = −1, also known as the phantom divide, have received extensive interest due to recent analyses favouring this behaviour. We introduce a new subclass of Horndeski scalar-tensor models capable of generati...

High‐Efficiency InGaP‐on‐Insulator Microresonator Nonlinear Conversion and Entanglement Generation

ABSTRACT InGaP‐on‐insulator (InGaP‐OI), with its intrinsically high optical nonlinearity, has emerged as an efficient and bright integrated photonic platform for frequency conversion and on‐chip entanglement generation, but high waveguide propagation loss in the visible wavelengt...

Convective Amplification of Ionospheric Feedback by a Finite‐Duration Inertial Alfvén‐Wave Source

Abstract We investigate the ionospheric feedback instability (IFI) driven by a finite‐duration localized source of inertial Alfvén waves. Wave‐excited conductance perturbations undergo Pedersen mobility drift in the convection and wave electric fields and are amplified. A causal...

System design of the Ultra Mobility Vehicle: A driving, balancing, and jumping bicycle robot

Trials cyclists and mountain bike riders can hop, jump, balance, and drive on one or both wheels. This versatility allows them to achieve speed and energy efficiency on smooth terrain and agility over rough terrain. Inspired by these athletes, we present the design and control of...

Fast, Strong Capillary Liquid Metal Muscles

Harnessing liquid surface tension to perform mechanical work is widespread in nature and underpins many bioinspired technologies. However, fully exploiting liquid surface energy requires rapid, reversible, and wide‐range tuning of surface tension—capabilities lacking in conventio...

Implementing Bow-tie analysis to assess the main concerns regarding biodiversity change in European Seas

Marine biodiversity is adversely affected by many human activities and their pressures. As such, there is the need for a cause-consequence-response method to objectively address the risks associated with those adverse changes. Such a method is the ISO-accredited Bow-tie technique...

Optical properties and shape-dependent retrievals of the imaginary part of the refractive index of freshly emitted Saharan dust

Abstract. Mineral dust is a major contributor to atmospheric aerosols and plays a complex role in Earth’s radiation budget. However, large uncertainties remain in quantifying its direct radiative effects (DRE), primarily due to poorly constrained absorption properties. Most estim...

A comparison of mixed-models for the analysis of non-linear longitudinal data: application to late-life cognitive trajectories

Several mixed-effects models for longitudinal data have been proposed to accommodate the non-linearity of late-life cognitive trajectories and assess the putative influence of covariates on it. No prior research provides a side-by-side examination of these models to offer guidanc...

A Pocket Dictionary of Sigils, Planets and Tantric Vocabulary for Grimoire Readers

A plain-English A-to-Z glossary of grimoire, sigil, planetary and tantric vocabulary, written as background for readers of The Billionaire Grimoire. Open almost any book in the grimoire tradition and you meet a wall of unfamiliar words before you meet a single idea. Sigil, corres...

PROXIMAL ESTIMATION AND INFERENCE

Abstract We develop a convex-analytic framework for constructing and analyzing a broad class of penalized estimators. Our method defines penalized estimators by applying proximal operators to benchmark estimators, rather than by penalizing the benchmark criterion itself. We estab...

R&D and Productivity: The Unfinished Business

Recent work on the relationship of productivity growth to expenditures on R&D is discussed with special reference to “unfinished business": unsolved conceptual and econometric problems, The standard “R&D as a capital” model raises a number of difficult. conceptual issues, especia...

Discover The Billionaire Soul Journey by Dr. Ajarn Robert Shumake—where spiritual awakening meets wealth consciousness and lasting inner peace. Educational background article; study and reflection only.

Federated Distillation: A Survey

Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative model training without centralizing clients’ raw data, but parameter exchange can impose substantial communication costs and usually requires compatible model architectures. Federated distillation (FD) instead transfers predictive or...

Blockchain and Biometrics: Survey, GDPR Analysis, and Future Directions

Biometric recognition, as an efficient and hard-to-forge method of identification and verification, has become an indispensable part of the current digital world. Meanwhile, blockchain has been widely received by both research and industry. Researchers have started to speculate o...
