Determinants of preterm birth among women delivered in Orotta National Maternity Referral Hospital, Eritrea: a case-control study

Abstract Background Preterm birth remains a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality globally, with a disproportionate burden in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite sustained investments in maternal health services in Eritrea, context-specific evidence on determinants of preterm...

The Alliance Has No Common Answer To A Machine-Speed Question

NATO has spent three years building the technical scaffolding to field autonomous systems across its member states, and has largely succeeded at interoperability, defined as an engineering property: allied machines can operate as one. It has not resolved a harder property of auth...

Lettuce Resequencing Project Stage II

Lettuce re-sequencing, transcriptome sequencing, and metabolite sequencing data, along with their combined analysis, provide a comprehensive approach to understanding the genetic, transcriptional, and metabolic profiles of lettuce.

Presentation for the Structural Bioinformatics and Network Biology Group meeting on September 1, 2026. This presentation covered key standards and best practices for managing and contributing to open source projects. Topics included the use of GitHub Projects for project manageme...

Technoeconomic and Environmental Assessment of a Power-to-H2-to-Power Metal Hydride System for a Renovated Greek Building

Abstract The present study examines the dynamic energy, environmental, and economic performance of a power-to- H 2 -to-power production and storage system based on metal-hydride (MH) technology, integrated as a hybrid energy storage solution for a renovated office building in Pto...

MOMENTUM A Dynamical and Architectural Treatment of Momentum From Physical Quantity to Engineered Dynamic Resource

Momentum is one of the fundamental conserved quantities of classical mechanics, yet mechanical engineering is conventionally organized around force, energy, and power as its principal architectural variables. This work proposes a complementary framework: Momentum-First Engineerin...

Robotic Use, Operative Length, and Readmission after Duodenal Switch: A Retrospective Ten-Year MBSAQIP Analysis Using an Interaction Model

Abstract Background Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) is increasingly used in bariatric practice, yet its impact on outcomes after duodenal switch (DS) remains poorly characterized, and whether operative length (OL) modifies the RAS-outcome association has not been assessed. The pre...

Amelioration of H2O2-induced post-weaning intestinal damage in piglets by terpinen-4-ol through enhanced epithelial renewal

Abstract Background This study evaluated the protective effects of terpinen-4-ol against H 2 O 2 ‑induced intestinal injury in weaned piglets and investigated the potential involvement of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Thirty-two 28-day-old piglets were randomly divided into CON, TER,...

Locking plate fixation compared with tension-band wiring for patellar fractures: a multicentre randomized controlled trial

Aims Patellar fractures are associated with considerable postoperative morbidity, and tension-band wiring has high complication rates and suboptimal outcomes. Locking plate fixation is a recent surgical innovation which confers superior biomechanical stability. However, there is...

AUG-WP Working Paper Series V3 (2026): Public Title and Abstract Register — 225 Working Papers on Human-AI Interaction

Public title and abstract register of the AUG-WP working paper series (Version 3, April 2026) — 225 working papers on human–AI interaction by Andreas Ehstand. Each entry quotes the paper's own title and, for most papers, its opening passage, verbatim and in the language of the pa...

Long-term sensory and functional recovery in innervated radial artery superficial palmar branch flaps: a retrospective cohort study of durable tactile gnosis in digital reconstruction

Purpose: The innervated radial artery superficial palmar branch (iRASP) flap incorporates the palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve (PCMN), enabling sensory recovery after digital reconstruction. This study evaluated 10-year longitudinal sensory and functional outcomes afte...

Biomechanical comparison of mini-plate and screw fixation in minimally invasive distal metatarsal osteotomy for hallux valgus

Aims To biomechanically compare the stability of mini-plate and dual-screw fixation following minimally invasive distal metatarsal osteotomy for hallux valgus, with an emphasis on early-stage stability under clinically relevant loading conditions. Methods Three fixation configura...

INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTS OF WEB 2.0 TOOLS TRAINING ON PRESERVICE TEACHERS' PERCEPTIONS OF DIGITAL COMPETENCE, 21ST-CENTURY SKILLS, AND COMPETENCIES IN THE EDUCATIONAL USE OF WEB 2.0 TOOLS

Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of training programs on the use of Web 2.0 tools in education designed for preservice teachers on their perceptions of digital competence, 21st-century skills, and Web 2.0 tool usage competencies. The study employed a...

A new species and two new records of oomycetes causing downy mildew on Asteraceae in Brazil

Abstract Species in the Asteraceae , either cultivated or wild, are strongly affected by downy mildews. Despite its importance, the broad species concept used for decades and the lack of molecular data for the genera Plasmopara and Bremia have obscured the true diversity and dist...

Differential inflammation by Salmonella serovars is independent of FliC inflammasome activation

Abstract Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella Choleraesuis display distinct clinical manifestations, yet the molecular basis for their differential inflammatory potential, particularly via outer membrane vesicles (OMV), are not fully understood. Here, we examined the role of Fli...

Structural reductions toward the quartic Hessian conjecture in dimension four

Anonymous, AI-assisted, unrefereed computer-assisted candidate. Exact five-support exclusion, tangent multiplicity-six nullcone containment, three rational localized-colon elements, and sixteen exact rational source-module syzygies in a frozen fourth Macaulay block. This deposit...

A Planck-Normalized Physical-Vacuum Response Model for Newtonian Weak-Field Gravity

Newtonian gravity is firmly established in the weak-field regime, but its deeper physical origin remains an open question. To address this question, we develop a minimal effective construction on fixed Minkowski spacetime in which matter is represented by localized oscillatory de...

Why a Different Kind of Oil Market Is Taking Shape

_ Several big trends across the global oil and gas industry are taking hold, and they may offer a glimpse of how the business will look and behave into the next decade. Oil prices have climbed well above expectations, yet many of the biggest producers have kept spending plans lar...
