Reconstructed baryon transition current structure (Δ(1232) electric quadrupole): Insights from Patterson function analysis

Using a scaling approach based on the Patterson function, we reconstruct the electric quadrupole transition current of the Δ(1232) baryon. The Patterson profile yields a half‑maximum radius of 0.097 fm, while the derived transition current density exhibits a more compact radius o...

Are Dutch GPs selecting the right patients for social prescribing? Analyzing the participants characteristics and their prior health care utilization

Abstract Background Not all healthcare demands are primarily medical in nature and a proportion are related to social or psychosocial challenges. Social Prescribing (SP) programs potentially address the increasing healthcare demands and unmet needs in general practices by prescri...

The influence of host phenology on infection and severity of rachis tip dieback caused by flower blight pathogens in macadamia

Abstract Rachis tip dieback (RTD) is an emerging disease affecting macadamia racemes and is associated with the flower blight complex. However, the timing and site of RTD infections and the effects of these infections on flower development remain poorly understood. Trials were co...

Household disposal practices of unused and expired medicines in a rural district of Ghana: a cross-sectional study in Nsawkaw

Abstract Background Inappropriate disposal of unused and expired medicines has implications for household safety, pharmaceutical pollution, and antimicrobial resistance. In Ghana, published evidence on household medicine disposal remains limited and rural data are especially spar...

Long-term evaluation of kidney biopsy outcomes to guide continuous quality improvement

Abstract Background Kidney biopsy is essential for diagnosis and management but carries bleeding risks. Efforts to reduce bleeding may compromise tissue adequacy, highlighting the need to systematically evaluate biopsy performance. Understanding factors that influence both safety...

Yang–Mills Dynamics from Projective Spectral Entropy: Vertical Heat-Kernel Variation on the Admissible Fibre

The companion Gravity paper showed that the horizontal variation of the projective spectral entropy functional $S_\Pi[g] = \tfrac{1}{2}\log\det' A_g$ with respect to the base metric produces the Einstein tensor as the infrared-dominant response, through the Seeley–DeWitt coeffici...

Cochrane-Style Systematic Review Protocol — AI / ML Prediction Models for IoT-Based Remote Patient Monitoring of Chronic Disease (v1.2, 2026-08-29)

Protocol version 1.2 (2026-08-29), superseding v1.1 (2026-05-12). Methodology specification for a Cochrane-style systematic review of AI and machine-learning prediction-model studies in IoT-based remote patient monitoring of chronic disease (chronic kidney disease, heart failure,...

Haem as a maternal factor of ticks

Abstract Background Ticks are obligate blood-feeding parasites that lack de novo haem biosynthesis and must acquire haem from their hosts. Although host haem is essential for tick reproduction, the extent to which individual ticks rely on dietary haemoglobin-derived haem during i...

Predictive value of epithelial lesion heterogeneity in the etiological diagnosis of chronic inflammatory bowel disease

Abstract Introduction : Chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are characterized by chronic, intermittent, and continuous inflammation of a part of the digestive tract, with an increased risk of dysplasia and colorectal cancer (CRC). They typically include Crohn's disease (CD)...

Modeling the human vaginal microbiome and its protection against pathogens using the replicator framework for invasion

Abstract The human vaginal microbiota plays a central role in protecting against urogenital infections, including bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, HIV, and urinary tract infections. However, the ecological mechanisms connecting microbial community structure to clinical indi...

Reforming the preschool application system to reduce enrollment gaps evidence from a default enrollment policy

While all children in Sweden are entitled to free, universal preschool from age 3, enrollment rates for children with an immigrant background – and especially for those in newly-arrived families – remain well below the 95 percent national average. At the same time, studies sugges...

Two Americas of Well-Being: Divergent Rural–Urban Patterns of Life Satisfaction and Happiness from 2.6 B Social Media Posts

Abstract Using 2.6 billion geolocated tweets (2014–2022) and a fine-tuned generative language model, we construct county-level indicators of life satisfaction and happiness for the United States. We document an apparent rural–urban paradox : even in unadjusted county-level means,...

Predictors and prognostic stratification of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome after pediatric allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Abstract Background Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS) following pediatric allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is associated with high morbidity and mortality, largely due to diagnostic delays and static prognostic assessments. This study aimed to...

Comparison of differential, adaptive proportional and adaptive quadratic controls applied for a recent collector-solar pot system

Abstract The present study focuses on applying the well-known differential (on/off) and proportional control strategies and a new, quadratic one, proposed in the paper, for a measured solar collector-solar pot system. The solar pot in this paper is a recent invention. Because of...

Evaluating soil CO₂ fluxes during the transition from peat swamp forest to an oil palm plantation

Conversion of peat swamp forests to oil palm plantations has significant implications for soil CO 2 emissions, but the magnitude of this impact remains highly uncertain. To evaluate the effects of this conversion on soil CO₂ fluxes, monthly measurements of soil CO₂ flux, environm...

‘Like a light switch that is on and off at the same time’. A content analysis of signaled metaphors for quantum science and technology in Dutch newspapers

Quantum science and technology is an emerging field of research expected to have a transformative impact on society. Its inherent complexity and counterintuitive nature, however, may pose a barrier to communication with general audiences. Metaphors can play an important role in b...

A Topological Dark Sector Without Exotic Particles Under the Collective Dipole Ontology (II v6)

In the FCD-RBv4 pregeometric framework, the mass of elementary fermions is interpreted not as an ad hoc coupling to an external scalar Higgs field, but as wave energy confined within quantization modes of a microscopic trans-brane Einstein-Rosen (ER) bridge. This bridge persisten...

Generation of finite groups from subgroups of coprime index

Version 1.1.3 of the preprint and its supporting source records answer Kourovka Notebook Problem 21.87. Let d(G) be the least size of a generating set of a finite group G. If G has a nonempty family of subgroups, each generated by at most d elements, whose indices have greatest c...

When Adaptivity Counts: Hit-Count Inspection with Information-Only Queries

We study a hidden-set problem in which perfect point queries acquire information but earn no reward, while a separate exact-q terminal action earns its hit count. Every instance satisfies V_ad^# <= q V_batch^#; taking the supremum over all depths and finite positive-batch instanc...

Prespecified held-out in silico robustness validation of a plantar-pressure gait-event classifier under sensor and transport perturbations

Wearable plantar-pressure signal processing for gait-event classification must remain robust when signals are affected by noise, drift, channel mismatch, data loss, or non-walking load cycles. We compared the NUWAC gait-event and plantar-contact classifier R4 with frozen R3 in a...
