Connections: A Smarter Way to Target Influencers

Jacob Goldenberg, Andreas Lanz, Florian Stahl, and Daniel Shapira show that managers and creators who build ties with nearby, low-status influencers outperform those who cultivate high-status influencers. This efficient means of expanding audiences uses the existing dynamics of s...

Volumetric Extent of Resection and Seizure Freedom in Pediatric Supratentorial Gangliogliomas

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Gangliogliomas in children and adults are often associated with refractory seizures. Gross total resection (GTR) has consistently been associated with higher rates of seizure freedom as compared with subtotal resection (STR); however, it is unknown if t...

FN02: Composition of Paired Planes - From Abelian Phase to Non-Abelian Unitary Symmetry

This paper studies the structural passage from an elementary two-dimensional paired sector to higher-dimensional unitary mixing. The primitive object is not a bare real plane, but a compatible two-dimensional structure P = (V2, g, J, ω), where g is a positive inner product, J2 =...

LAB #1709 HARMFUL: TG AUTO: EXTRACTED METHOD: measure_saw_spacing_against_phi — E8 Intelligence Research

IDEA: AUTO-FORWARDED from the Telegram/breakthrough stream (#717602, division=euromillions, agent=knowledge_extractor): rule: For any granite saw mark spacing dataset, compute spacing / 0.785 and compare to 1.618; flag if within 1% tolerance. source: rlab #204 TASK: judge this fi...

EXTRACTED METHOD: e8_projection_fit — E8 Intelligence Research

rule: Extract circle centers from VMS rosette foldout via OpenCV Hough transform; project E8 root system to 2D using a known projection algorithm; compute residual error between rosette centers and nearest projected vertices; accept fit if mean residual < 5% of diagram radius. so...

The General Theory of Matter

A perspective on gravity as a kinematic consequence of the expansion of matter in a fifth dimension is proposed. Unlike general relativity, where gravitational interaction is described by the geometry of spacetime, in this work the convergence of bodies is explained by their sync...

Baseline-aware monthly PM10 prediction in Istanbul and Ankara: a city-level panel study comparing persistence, AR(1), and random forest models

Monthly PM 10 prediction was evaluated for Istanbul and Ankara with a 2020 − 2023 city-month panel combining air-quality, meteorological, and traffic-intensity variables. The calendar index comprised 96 city-months, of which 92 had observed PM 10 . Missing PM 10 targets were excl...

Clinical Relevance of Calcifications in Osteosarcoma Lung Metastases: Correlations Among Radiological Patterns, Histological Subtypes, and Chemotherapy Responses

Background/Objectives: Osteosarcoma is a rare malignancy and the most common primary malignant bone tumor. Metastases commonly affect the lungs and are associated with reduced life expectancy. Calcifications can be present within a metastatic nodule at baseline or can appear duri...

Impact of Menopausal Hormone Therapy on cognitive function and dementia Risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis focusing on the timing hypothesis and administration route

Abstract Background The relationship between menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) and the trajectory of cognitive function in midlife and later life remains one of the most consequential and contested questions in women’s health. The “critical window” or timing hypothesis posits that...

A Collectivist, Economic Vision for AI

Information technology is in the midst of a revolution in which omnipresent data collection and machine learning are impacting the human world as never before. The word “intelligence” is being used as a North Star for the development of this technology, with human cognition viewe...

Immunity-Related Gene Characterization and Targeted Therapy in Lung Cancer: A Data Mining Approach to Predicting Immunotherapy Response

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains the leading cause of most cancer mortality, while immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed treatment in recent years, only a small group of patients show long-term improvement remain insufficiently understood. Herein, study i...

A Regression-Based Machine Learning Approach for Rehabilitation of Corroded RC Culverts Strengthened with SMA

Box culverts are critical components of transportation infrastructure, yet their load-carrying capacity is often compromised by reinforcement corrosion and geometric deterioration. This study proposes an integrated finite element (FEM) and machine learning (ML) framework to evalu...

Dynamic Protein Structure Paradox: An Integrative Framework for Endpoint-Conditioned Evidentiary Sufficiency in Structure-to-Function Claims

Accurate coordinates for a represented protein state do not, by themselves, establish activity or any other condition-specific function. This article defines the Dynamic Protein Structure Paradox (DPSP) as the apparent conflict between structural accuracy and functional underdete...

Population, Race, Family Names, Income, Industry, and Wealth in the United States

This study examines past performance, present economic conditions, and long-term projections involving population, race and ethnicity, multiracial identity, family names, education, employment, industry, income, entrepreneurship, consumer markets, political alignment, and househo...

Living With Chronic Pain: A Narrative Inquiry Into Identity Reconfiguration Among Canadian Veterans—A Research Note

Approximately one-third of Canadian Veterans live with chronic pain, which can profoundly disrupt identity as they transition to civilian life. Little is known about how chronic pain reshapes the moral and embodied dimensions of military identity. Using narrative inquiry, semi-st...

The effectiveness of resistance training for patients with degenerative arthritis after total joint arthroplasty: a pilot randomized controlled study

This study aimed to examine the effects of a volume-progressive staged bilateral resistance training program on lower limb muscular endurance, balance performance, pain intensity, and quality of life among patients with osteoarthritis following total joint arthroplasty (total kne...

Molecular subtyping of colorectal cancer based on aging-related gene network perturbation analysis and functional validation of MAP1B

Molecular heterogeneity of colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major barrier to precision therapy. In this study, we integrated eight public aging-related resources to construct an aging-related gene set and performed network perturbation analysis on the TCGA CRC cohort using a Rea...

Angioarchitectural characterization of transdural supply in brain arteriovenous malformations: a multicenter retrospective study

Transdural supply (TDS) is a recognized angioarchitectural feature of brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs). We aimed to systematically characterize the angioarchitecture of TDS in bAVMs, focusing on whether transdural feeders terminated within the nidus or connected directly...

Translation, Cultural Adaptation, and Evaluation of the Psychometric Properties of the Greek Version of the Rapid Weight Loss Questionnaire for Combat Sports Athletes

Rapid weight loss (RWL) is commonly practiced among combat sports athletes to reduce body mass before competition. The Rapid Weight Loss Questionnaire (RWLQ) is a self-report instrument designed to assess weight loss behaviors and practices. This study aimed to translate and cult...
