The importance of classifying central hypopneas: a call to action

Obstructive and central sleep apnea share pathophysiologic features and often coexist within individual patients. There is general agreement on the criteria for scoring obstructive and central apneas but less guidance and clarity on how and when to classify obstructive and centra...

Confined shear-induced structure discretization enables re-entrant super-repellent metals

Re-entrant structures are fundamental to achieving robust liquid repellency, especially for low-surface-tension liquids. However, existing fabrication techniques often face a trade-off among mechanical durability, substrate geometry compatibility, large-area processing, and rapid...

Quantum Coherence Enables Near-Perfect Photosynthetic Energy Transfer Efficiency — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Photosynthetic energy transfer exhibits quantum coherence, enabling near-perfect efficiency via wave-like superposition over multiple pathways. | MATH: Efficiency η ≈ 0.95–1.0 (near-unity quantum yield); coherence time τ_c ~ 300–600 fs (FMO complex); exciton coupling J ~...

BRAZILIAN CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS IN THE MAIN INTERNATIONAL AUCTION HOUSES, FROM 2014 TO 2023

This short study is an update to previous findings looking at works by Brazilian living artists auctionedat Christie’s, Sotheby’s, and Phillips de Pury. It is a descriptive analysis showing the evolution andsuccess of sales year-by-year and comparing results for different locatio...

Prospecting Prediction of the Tieyaoshan Tin Deposit Based on Zircon U–Pb Geochronology, Geochemical Data and Tectonic Numerical Simulation

This study integrates zircon U–Pb geochronology, whole-rock geochemical analysis, and tectonic numerical simulation to determine the emplacement age, petrogenesis, and tectonic setting of ore-bearing granites in the Tieyaoshan tin deposit and further clarify the structural ore-co...

Methods for conducting searches in healthcare reviews: A systematic review

The standard approach for identifying studies for reviews has remained consistent for many years. This approach can be time-consuming, with quality reliant on searcher skill. Alternate approaches aiming to improve efficiency have been proposed, but there is uncertainty around the...

BASE 44 ORDER: Add volatility score column, partial index, LLM prioritization, 5-min timer, cache top 100 — E8 Intelligence Research

Andrew's order (Base 44 console): [SELF-BUILD from enhancement #1153] Add volatility_compression_score column with window function on created_at/content_length. Create partial index on (score,status) where score<0.5 and status='pending_llm'. Modify LLM batching loop to prioritize...

DAAF: Dual-stream adaptive attention fusion with distribution alignment for remote sensing object detection

Remote sensing object detection faces three challenges: extreme scale variation, arbitrary rotational orientations, and complex intermingled backgrounds. Although fusion of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Transformers combines spatial precision with global modeling, it f...

20 Updates on Magnetic Resonance Imaging assessment of tumour MicrOStructure in GlioblastomA: A cross-sectional study (The MIMOSA Study)

Abstract The MIMOSA (Magnetic Resonance Imaging assessment of tumour MicrOStructure in GlioblastomA) study is recruiting patients with a presumed diagnosis of glioblastoma (GBM) pre-operatively to receive advanced diffusion-weighted magnetic-resonance-imaging (DW-MRI) using the C...

Implementing day-case parathyroidectomy in a large multi-site UK trust: a prospective case series

INTRODUCTION: Advancements in minimally invasive techniques, coupled with structured perioperative protocols, have rendered same-day discharge following parathyroidectomy increasingly viable. National recommendations, including those from the Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) n...

THE LIMINAL FIELD: INITIATION

Short Description A reflection on initiation as an intimate promise of the Self, exploring energetic and animic dimensions underlying matter. The text considers invisible energetic presences, the role of conception in perceiving them, and the Self as an inhabitant of deeper infor...

Trilobatin, a Natural Dihydrochalcone, Stabilizes Nrf2 to Protect the Heart from Angiotensin II–Induced Oxidative and Hypertrophic Stress

Aims: Oxidative stress–driven cardiac remodeling is a key pathological feature of heart failure and hypertensive heart disease, yet effective antioxidant therapies remain limited. This study aimed to determine whether the natural dihydrochalcone trilobatin (Tri) protects against...

Screening Plus Training: A Strategy to Counter Germplasm Degeneration in Cultivated Kelp ( Saccharina japonica )

ABSTRACT Based on the introduced founder sporophytes, a set of S. japonica varieties and a few hybrid kelp have been bred and intensively cultivated in China. The cultivation of S. japonica has been running up against the impasse of germplasm degeneration characterized by low gro...

Integrating Central-City Parks into Everyday Activity Chains: Boundary-Opening Optimization and Spatial-Network Reconfiguration with the Park-BIND Model

Urban parks in city centers are often assessed by residential proximity, but visits in districts with mixed land uses also occur between work, shopping, services, and other daily activities. A nearby park may remain difficult to use when its entrances and internal paths do not al...

Template‐Assisted Patterning for Ultrahigh‐Resolution Quantum‐Dot Light‐Emitting Diodes: Fundamentals, Strategies, and Perspectives

ABSTRACT Colloidal quantum dot (QD) patterns serve as the emissive layers for ultrahigh‐resolution QD light‐emitting diodes (QLEDs), where their structural and morphological quality directly governs device efficiency, color purity, and luminous uniformity for advanced display app...

Cloning and characterization of intermediate Homer1E of human skeletal muscle

Abstract HOMER proteins are scaffolding proteins critically involved in intracellular signaling, calcium homeostasis, receptor trafficking and synaptic plasticity. Three human HOMER genes ( HOMER1 , HOMER2 , HOMER3 ) are expressed in both neurons and skeletal muscle fibers. HOMER...

Who makes the map? A typology of GeoAI cartographic dysfunctions and a framework for cartographic literacies

Geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) has rapidly entered cartographic production, and a growing empirical literature documents the ways in which it fails: biased outputs, factual hallucinations, fabricated satellite imagery, recursive model degradation, and opaque labor and...

Spin-disc misalignment drives periodic accretion and pulse profile asymmetry in X-ray pulsars

Abstract We investigate magnetospheric accretion in disc-fed X-ray pulsars assuming that the neutron star spin axis is not perpendicular to the disc plane. We focus on X-ray pulsars, where a geometrically thin disc is truncated far from the stellar surface the channelled part of...

Areas add, entropies do not: an additivity obstruction to region-wise Barrow-entropic cosmology

I show that the surface degree-of-freedom count used in emergent-gravity and holographic-equipartition cosmology cannot be assigned separately to sub-regions unless Barrow's deformation parameter vanishes, and I quantify the resulting error. Barrow entropy S ∝ A^(1+Δ/2) is non-ad...

Chlorine dioxide gas sterilization of cold-chain or temperature-sensitive devices

Cold-chain terminal sterilization is used for products that must be manufactured, stored, and maintained with a carefully controlled temperature range, such as temperature-sensitive drugs and vaccines in prefilled syringes or autoinjectors containing temperature-sensitive drugs....
