Soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a pivotal role in governing the environmental behavior and fate of metal ions. The inherent heterogeneity of DOM, however, leads to complex and poorly understood interactions with heavy metals. In this study, soil DOM was fractionated int...

Purpose The effective use of digital technology by farmers is contingent upon their digital behaviour, specifically, whether they predominantly engage in information seeking or entertainment consumption, which is affected by digital literacy. This paper aims to examine farmers' d...

Abstract Background A diagnosis of vestibular schwannoma (VS) confronts patients with complex treatment decisions under conditions of uncertainty. While previous research has focused on treatment outcomes, symptom trajectories, and predictors of treatment choice, less is known ab...

Abstract The emergence of zoonotic diseases highlights the need for continuous surveillance of wildlife, particularly bats, known as natural reservoirs of several pathogens. This study aimed to investigate the presence of coronaviruses (CoV) and Leptospira spp. in non-hematophago...

Governing incompletion and incompleteness: Agri-food market infrastructure in urban China
This article examines how incomplete infrastructures are governed as politically expedient conditions in urban China. While scholarship on infrastructure in the Global South has foregrounded open-endedness as an ontological feature of infrastructure, less attention has been paid...

Intensive land use reduced global vegetation stability over the past two millennia
Abstract The stability of vegetation regimes—the temporal persistence of plant assemblages—has fluctuated markedly since the last deglaciation. While climate is the primary driver of long-term vegetation dynamics, the effects of human land use change remain less clear. Here, we a...

Regime-Aware Reinforcement Learning: A Mixture-of-Experts Framework for Dynamic Asset Allocation
Recent advances in reinforcement learning (RL) have spurred growing interest in its application to multi-period financial planning. Existing literature broadly follows three paradigms: hybrid RL, scalable RL, and end-to-end RL. This paper develops a hybrid regime-aware RL framewo...

Fibonacci Sixth Powers in a Signed Square-Block Sum
At first glance, A392243 comes from a simple rule: add the positive integers in order, changing the sign whenever the running index crosses into a new square-number block. This creates a sequence with a surprisingly rich internal structure. The question at the center of this pape...

N-Acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc) is a sialic acid valued in pharmaceuticals and infant nutrition, and microbial synthesis offers a scalable route once the pathway’s catalytic bottlenecks are relieved. We combine deep learning with metabolic engineering to build a high-titer NeuAc-...

'It is bit'. Being, Information, and the Manifest Pole
The article argues that Being, at its ontic level, does not derive from information but is information, radicalizing Wheeler’s program beyond the residual dualism of the formula ‘it from bit’. The argument proceeds subtractively: absolute nothingness is impossible because its pos...

This paper establishes the third component of the Prime-Prime Lattice (PPL) framework, unifying microscopic quantum field actions and the three fundamental interactions (Coulombic, magnetic, and gravitational forces) under a singular, constant-free monistic paradigm. Building upo...

No emotion-specific image-computable code in the human left amygdala
A common inference in computational neuroscience holds that if a deep network trained to recognize construct X predicts a brain region, that region represents X. We test this for the human amygdala with a representation-invariance criterion: a construct-supervised encoder counts...

Multistability and bifurcation phenomena in a four-partitions piecewise linear map
This paper investigates the global dynamics and bifurcation structures of a two-dimensional piecewise linear map defined by four partitions, involving absolute value terms for both state variables. An analysis of fixed point stability demonstrates that the emergence of period-2 d...

Procedure-related uptake on CXCR4 PET/CT: a frequent pitfall independent of time and anatomical site
Abstract Introduction As a pan-tumor tracer, chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4)-directed [ 68 Ga]Ga-PentixaFor is frequently utilized in patients with hematological malignancies. We aimed to evaluate the impact of recent surgical and interventional procedures on uptake. Methods Patient...

Dopamine power control 40 (BG dopamine control and VP dopamine control)
Dopamine is a chemical messenger in your brain that controls feelings of pleasure, motivation, and learning. It acts like a reward system. When you do something fun or helpful for survival (like eating or exercising), your brain releases dopamine to make you feel good. The two re...

The Unification of Matter, Forces, and Spacetime from the Bost–Connes System
Starting from the Bost–Connes system, we perform the p-adic reduction at a prime p and construct the state space H_p = L²(Z/p^K Z), K = p(p−1)−1, and argue that its structural properties naturally describe the physical world. The five axioms of quantum mechanics are derived, one...

The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has increased over recent decades. While significant progress has been achieved in immunotherapy, the five-year survival rate is still unsatisfactory because of the low response rate and acquired resistance in a few patients, which...

Abstract Given the age-related declines in physical and oral function, this study investigated the link between lower-extremity performance and oral function in 102 community-dwelling women aged 65–85 in Incheon, Republic of Korea. Participants were categorized into robust or low...

Abstract Background As the causative agent of listeriosis, Listeria ( L .) monocytogenes is an important food safety hazard and public health concern. The ability of some L. monocytogenes strains to establish in food processing environments poses the threat of contamination to fo...
