A Reproducible Computational Pipeline for Modelling Sequential Decision Thresholds from Stopping-Rule Data

Stopping-rule experiments ask participants to move through ordered stages until they decide to act. These designs are useful for studying intervention thresholds, but raw survey exports are usually stored in wide form, while correct modelling requires scenario-level thresholds an...

Proof of the truth or falsity of the Collatz conjecture

This paper proves the Collatz conjecture using the opposite method to the method of tracing 1 from any integer. The method is a way to verify whether it is possible to reach all positive integers starting from 1, following the opposite rule of the Collatz conjecture.If it is poss...

Pharmacokinetics of meloxicam following intramuscular, subcutaneous, and oral administration in white storks (Ciconia ciconia)

Abstract Background Meloxicam (MLX) is a preferential cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor widely used in avian medicine as an anti-inflammatory agent. Despite marked interspecific variability in avian drug disposition, no pharmacokinetic data are available for MLX in the white stork ( Cic...

Social Practices of Citizenship and Digital Transformation: A Latin American Perspective

This study examines how social movements and organizations in Latin America use digital technologies to promote and assert rights, thereby seeking to reshape social practices of citizenship. The present study commences from the perspective of citizenship as practice to propose a...

Capital theory and liberty – why they belong together

Abstract Historically, issues surrounding capital and interest have been tied to conflicts over exploitation, domination and the choice between capitalism and socialism. By contrast, modern growth and financial theory define capital as a homogeneous factor in a production functio...

Utilizing 4D-STEM to characterize diffusion-induced grain boundary migration in Ni-Cr alloys

Abstract Alloy degradation poses a significant challenge to the safe and reliable performance of alloys in advanced energy systems. Ni-Cr alloys are quite durable in these aggressive conditions but can become susceptible to intergranular oxidation and cracking when subjected to h...

When one protocol fits none: Self-organized network routing through evolutionary game dynamics

Packet routing on scale-free networks faces a fundamental trade-off: shortest-path routing is efficient at low demand but funnels traffic through hubs and jams early, whereas congestion-aware routing postpones jamming at the price of a sharper collapse. Since neither paradigm dom...

From In Intellectu to In Praesentatione: Sketches, Classifying Categories and the Ontological Argument

We propose reading Anselm's "in the understanding" as grasp of a structured presentation whose intended reference remains unsettled. The reconstruction distinguishes a presentation, its admissible interpretations, an extracted field of manifestations, and representation of that f...

The economics of religious regulation: an Austrian contribution

Abstract The economics of religion is a growing subfield, yet no paper has connected its findings to Austrian economics. Three Austrian insights are complementary with the current literature and provide a unified theoretical framework for understanding the relationship between re...

Significance Readability and Misreadability in Human Interaction

This technical note develops a human-interaction application layer for the already established GTCS architectures of source significance and cross-system significance reconstruction. Source-side significance remains owned by Significance Fields in Cognitive Systems. Directional s...

Clinicopathologic analysis of multifocal myxopapillary ependymoma: report of 4 cases and literature review

Abstract Objective Myxopapillary ependymoma (MPE) stands as a rare variant of ependymoma, primarily found within the spinal cord and cauda equina regions. This article aims to delve into the clinical and pathological characteristics of multifocal myxopapillary ependymoma (MPE), s...

Inclusive by design: an implementation framework for culturally responsive research advisory panels

Abstract Background Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities remain underrepresented in health research despite experiencing substantial health inequities. Community advisory panels are increasingly recommended to strengthen community engagement, cultural responsi...

Defensive Meaning and Symbolic Stabilization in Human Psychic Processing

This technical note develops a human-specific architecture for symbolic stabilization and persistent defensive meaning within the Human Psychic Processing / Psychological Architecture branch of GTCS. The construction begins from exact source-bound symbolic observations and an exp...

Formation of electrosprayed PVP-GTE submicron particles: physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant activities

Abstract This research is focused on the optimation of green tea extract-loaded polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) submicron particles by electrospraying for enhanced delivery of antioxidants. The novelty lies in the explanation of the critical connection between process parameters, drug...

Therapeutic Setting as Support for Admissible Transformation

This technical note develops a narrow human-processing architecture for relating an exact model-declared therapeutic setting to independently owned processing outcomes without building therapeutic benefit into the definition of the setting. A setting is represented as a provenanc...

Intra-System Conflict under Significance and Admissibility Constraints

This technical note develops a within-human application layer for the existing GTCS coordination-conflict architecture. The paper does not define human conflict as a divergence between significance and admissibility. Instead, a human-processing model must first identify one human...

Retention behavior and surface alterations of ball and TRI raptor unsplinted overdenture attachments after thermomechanical aging: an in vitro study

Abstract Background To compare the time-dependent retentive-force behavior and wear-related surface alterations of two unsplinted overdenture attachment systems, a ball attachment system and a TRI Raptor Smart Box system, after standardized thermomechanical aging. Methods In this...

Identity-Continuity in Human Psychic Transformation

This technical note develops a human application layer for transition-level identity-continuity evaluation within the Human Psychic Processing / Psychological Architecture branch of GTCS. Generic identity continuity is not redefined. Readiness, definedness, candidate-versus-reali...

Reassessing global trade and welfare impacts of EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism in developing countries: a structural quantitative model

The European Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has been agreed on since 2023, while the discussions, especially in developing members that have higher carbon intensity, are still underway. Here, we used a structural quantitative trade model to analyze how the EU CBAM affe...

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...
