Microstructure and mechanical properties of HCP-structured IrRhRuReFe high-entropy alloys
Hexagonal close-packed (HCP) high-entropy alloys (HEAs) based on platinum-group metals (PGMs) are promising candidates for extreme-temperature applications, but the links between solidification-induced chemical heterogeneity and high-temperature deformation kinetics remain insuff...

Abstract Hastelloy fiber paper (HAP) exhibits excellent corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and structural robustness; however, its application as a porous transport layer (PTL) in water electrolysis systems remains relatively underexplored. In this study, a highly act...

We exhaustively exclude ordinary circulant Ramsey(5,5;42) and Ramsey(5,5;43) colorings. We also report exploratory symmetry-constrained and unconstrained tabu searches. Values 84 for K42 and 129 for K43 are the best values produced by the stated runs, not literature records or pr...

Unbounded logarithmic limsup in Erdős Problem 684 via shifted carry scheduling
For 1 ≤ k ≤ n, let u(n,k) be the part of the binomial coefficient binom(n,k) supported on primes at most k, and let f(n) be the least k for which u(n,k) > n^2. Erdős Problem 684 asks for bounds on f(n). We prove limsup_{n→∞} (f(n)/log n)(log log log n/log log n) ≥ 1/2. In particu...

Abstract Background Maternal satisfaction during childbirth is a multidimensional concept influenced by pain management, perceived control, emotional support, and overall birth experience. Although neuraxial anaesthesia is effective in relieving labour pain, its impact on overall...

Design optimization of desiccant wheel-based dehumidification systems requires performance data that sufficiently cover a high-dimensional design space. However, obtaining such data through conventional design of experiments is burdensome because experiments and repeated high-fid...

The paired fins of stem tetrapods (tetrapodomorphs) have been studied extensively to understand both the phylogenetic framework of early tetrapods and the functional context of the fin-to-limb transition. Attention has predominantly been focused on a few exemplar taxa with well-p...

ABSTRACT The role of environmental samples from livestock production systems, including manure and anaerobic digestate, as reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) is likely underestimated because conventional metagenomic approaches can overlook low-abundance ARGs and...

The Shibboleth Lattice: Recognition Channels and the Universality of In-Group Coordination
Coalition behavior in multi-agent systems appears across four substrates: quantum entanglement, evolutionary covert-tag recognition, engineered handshake codes, and emergent relational memory in frontier language models. These are treated as instances of one structure: a joint ac...

HLR-UFS: Hessian-based Unsupervised Feature Selection using Low-Rank Approximation
Graph-based Laplacian regularization techniques have been extensively applied in unsupervised feature selection due to their capability in capturing the inherent structure of data. However, Laplacian regularization frequently results in a solution that is biased towards a constan...

Joint Exploration of Neural Networks and Systolic Hardware for Improved AI Accelerator Performance
Abstract When executing common Neural Networks (NNs) on custom AI accelerators, the high performance suggested by advertised Giga or Tera Operations per Second (GOPS/TOPS) is typically not achieved, as low hardware utilization often leads to an effective performance in the single...

Upward transport and segregation of ice-nucleating particles in deep convective clouds
Abstract. Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) play a crucial role in Earth’s weather and climate by influencing cloud properties and precipitation. However, their abundance in the free troposphere, vertical distribution, and transport mechanisms are not well-characterized. This study...

Strengthening Mechanism of Cold-Sprayed Al6061 Protective Coating on LAZ931 Mg-Li Alloy
To address the key problems of dual-phase magnesium-lithium alloy LAZ931 such as easy corrosion, flammability and low strength, AA6061 protective coating was fabricated on LAZ931 alloy via cold spraying to form an Al6061/LAZ931/Al6061 sandwich structure. The strengthening mechani...

Performance of Dual-polarization Sentinel-1 Flood Monitoring in Austria
Abstract Floods have caused severe damage in Austria in recent years, and climate change is expected to increase flood risks in the future. While Austria has an advanced hydrological measurement network for flood monitoring and prediction, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from...

Hot blue progenitors of stellar-mass black holes
Abstract While the connection between massive stars and supernova explosions is well established observationally, the link between massive stars and black hole formation remains elusive. Some massive stars may collapse directly to black holes without a successful supernova, and m...

ABSTRACT In atomic layer deposition (ALD), precursor adsorption plays a critical role in determining growth characteristics. This is particularly important in area‐selective ALD (AS‐ALD), where adsorption on the non‐growth surface (NGS) leads to selectivity loss. In this context,...

Inner Manifestation Beyond Pre-Symbolic Admission: A Formal Distinction in Cognitive Systems
The General Theory of Cognitive Structuring distinguishes architecture-relative coherence geometry, structurally specifiable discrepancy, partial local signalization, context-relative pre-symbolic admission, differentiated discrepancy access, and coherence-representation construc...
