Scaling Open 3D City Models: Implementation and Validation of an AI-driven Automated Generation Tool “AI City Model Maker beta version”

Abstract. This study presents an AI-based tool for the automatic generation and updating of 3D city models to support the expansion of Project PLATEAU in Japan. High-quality models at Level of Detail (LOD) 2 or higher are essential for applications such as urban planning and disa...

Bit-Exact Absorption of Underflowing Summands under IEEE 754 Round-to-Nearest-Even

Preprint. A local IEEE 754 binary64 criterion is given under which an addend may be replaced by 0 without changing a bit of a fixed addition tree (round-to-nearest-even). A second theorem lifts a bound on the omitted impulse to an observable such as an integrated coordinate, when...

Epistemological Boundaries of Astronomical Anomalies: A Structural Analysis of Hypothesis Generation, Category Drift, and Agency Inference in Technosignature Search

This seminal paper, “Epistemological Boundaries of Astronomical Anomalies: A Structural Analysis of Hypothesis Generation, Category Drift, and Agency Inference in Technosignature Search,” critically examines the epistemological boundaries inherent in distinguishing natural astron...

Governance Adaptation Time (GAT): A Qualitative Reconstruction Protocol for Temporal Fit under AI Conditions

This research note develops Governance Adaptation Time (GAT) as a qualitative event-response reconstruction protocol for examining temporal fit under AI conditions. GAT is scenario-specific and is not presented as a metric, score, KPI or benchmark. Its proposed constructs and pro...

Reducing inappropriate non-sterile glove use in an acute NHS trust: A quality improvement evaluation of the Gloves Off campaign

Background Inappropriate glove use can undermine hand hygiene, increase cross-transmission risk, and contribute to healthcare waste. Objectives To evaluate a trust-wide quality improvement campaign aimed at reducing unnecessary non-sterile glove use and improving appropriateness...

Speckle aware attention and multi scale pooling for robust breast ultrasound lesion classification across multiple benchmarks

Breast ultrasound (BUS) is widely used for lesion assessment, yet automatic benign–malignant classification remains challenging owing to speckle noise, weak boundaries, and cross-scanner heterogeneity. We propose SUA-Net, a compact framework that augments an EfficientNet-B0 backb...

Basic principles for astrocyte-to-neuron conversion

Abstract Transcription factors have been employed to reprogram one type of cells into a different type of cells, an approach commonly called cell transdifferentiation. Astrocyte-to-neuron conversion is one type of cell transdifferentiation, where neural transcription factors are...

E8 Root‑Vector Gap Resonance Unifies Prime Gaps and Market Criticality — E8 Intelligence Research

We demonstrate that the 240 E8 root vectors, when driven at the 132 Hz phononic base with φ‑scaled amplitudes, generate a resonant spectral lattice whose nodal structure encodes the bounded gaps of Maynard's prime sieve. By detecting phase locking of this lattice to market micro‑...

Volumetric reference data of the orbit: a deep learning MRI analysis in the German national cohort

Abstract Manual segmentation of orbital magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is labor-intensive, hindering large-scale morphometric studies. To overcome this, we developed a fully automated deep learning pipeline to segment orbital MRIs and establish age- and sex-stratified normative...

The Haulage and Material Movement Twin

This study treats every movement of ore, waste or product as a potential change in material identity rather than as a dispatch transaction alone. It links loading origin, payload or scale support, route and road status, operator, time, destination, stockpile/dump state, rehandlin...

Assessment of natural filariae infections in the mosquitoes of Karen state, Myanmar: a cross-sectional PCR survey in six villages

Abstract Background Filarial nematodes transmitted by mosquitos cause significant burdens and important stigma in the affected communities. Focal transmission of Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi was detected incidentally during blood surveys conducted for a program of malar...

Open Repositories Ireland: OpenAIRE v4 Adoption and Metadata Alignment Guide

OpenAIRE is the authoritative source for research literature to the European Commission for H2020, Horizon Europe projects, and EOSC. By aligning an Open Repository with OpenAIRE metadata standards, the repository gets connected to a network of services that consume metadata in t...

The 3-7-12 Self-Sufficient Building System: A 120‑Year, Lightweight, Multi‑Hazard Resilient High‑Rise for Any Climate & Any Continent

The 3-7-12 Self-Sufficient Building System is a fully prefabricated, lightweight, high‑rise construction method (10 to 100 storeys) that operates independently of external electricity, water, gas, and sewage grids. The system is designed for global applicability: from tropical hu...

Physics‐Guided Monte Carlo Surrogate Modeling for Optical Properties Inference and Spectral Prediction From Limited Experimental Data

ABSTRACT We present a physics‐guided neural framework that combines Monte Carlo simulations with experimental measurements to characterize optical properties and predict spectral responses at unseen conditions. The hybrid model jointly learns from simulations with complete optica...

Spatiotemporal Analysis of OpenStreetMap Editing Activities in Japan Using the OSMCha

Abstract. OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a prominent platform for Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI), wherein geographic data are updated daily by a global community of contributors. The OpenStreetMap Changeset Analyzer (OSMCha) serves as a quality assurance tool that automatically...

Phi Scaled E8 Vortex Lattice Synchronizes Metabolic and Neural Rhythms — E8 Intelligence Research

By assigning each of the 240 E8 root vectors a phi‑scaled angular momentum proportional to the 132 Hz base frequency, a hierarchical vortex lattice emerges whose nodes self‑organize into 12‑fold metabolic cycles synchronized with neural gamma bursts. The phi‑invariant scaling pre...

The Water, TSF, Geotechnical and Environmental Twin

This paper addresses high-consequence decisions involving water, tailings storage, geotechnics and environmental obligations. It connects instrument and survey provenance, water and deposition balances, freeboard, operational limits, trigger-action response plans, permit conditio...

Breaking the Optical Depth Gravity Degeneracy: Scale-Dependent kSZ Velocity Profiles and Growth Friction in the \delta I Substrate

Recent ACT DR6 measurements of the kinematic Sunyaev–Zeldovich (kSZ) effect provide a high‑precision test of gravity at 30–230 Mpc, confirming strict inverse‑square behavior (F ∝ r⁻²). We show that this force law emerges naturally as the sparse‑regime limit of the emergent correl...
