Mandibular reconstruction with fibula free flap: a comparative analysis of clinical outcomes of CAD/CAM-assisted surgery versus model-assisted conventional technique

Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to compare clinical and patient-reported outcomes of mandibular reconstruction with fibula free flap (FFF) performed using model-assisted conventional technique versus computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) with...

Rigidity, Descents, and Wilf Classification in Pattern-Avoiding Canon Permutations

This focused preprint proves four conjectures on pattern avoidance in canon permutations, gives all twelve fixed-alphabet counting formulas for the 64 subsets of three-letter patterns, classifies those subsets into exactly 21 global canon-Wilf classes, and develops descent and al...

Beyond coercion: developing post-coercive practice support for mental health inpatients, a modified e-Delphi consensus process

Abstract Background Exposure to coercive practices in mental healthcare is associated with a range of patient harms. Clinical guidelines recommend that patients exposed to coercive practice in inpatient settings are offered support, however, existing post-coercive practice suppor...

Quantum Reservoir-Assisted Context Orchestration for Large Language Models: A 500-Prompt Paired Evaluation

Large language models increasingly operate within systems that provide retrieved knowledge, policies, tool descriptions, workflow state, and other contextual signals. This work investigates Quantum Reservoir Assist, a pre-generation context-orchestration layer that uses a CUDA-Q-...

Bacteria capable of degrading 3,5-dichloroaniline

In this study, soil samples were collected from greenhouse soils in Xizang that had been contaminated with certain fungicides. Enrichment cultivation was first carried out using LB medium, followed by selective pressure screening using a mixed medium composed of 5/6 mineral salts...

Females cooperate, rather than monopolize reproduction, in multi-female groups of cooperatively breeding birds and mammals

Abstract Scholars have long sought to understand why, in some cooperatively breeding species, females care for the offspring of other group members while forgoing their own reproduction. Here, we analysed data from 101 cooperatively breeding populations of 73 bird and mammal spec...

Administration of nebivolol after subcutaneous ovarian autotransplantation improves neoangiogenesis, follicular survival, and growth in mice

Context As ovarian transplantation is performed without blood vessel anastomosis, its main limitation is ischemia. Nitric oxide (NO) has pro-angiogenic and antiapoptotic effects, and nebivolol, a selective β1-blocker with NO-inducing activity, may be a potential drug to improve g...

On Hold: Exploring the Intersections of Indefinite Waiting and Island Phenomenology on Identity Formation Among Asylum Seekers in Lesvos

This paper examines the identity-negotiation processes of young adult asylum seekers during prolonged waiting periods on the island of Lesvos, Greece. Integrating phenomenological perspectives and Dialogical Self Theory (DST), the study explores how the spatial–temporal dimension...

A Formal Analysis of Why the Three Classical Millennium Problems Are Conceptually Misconstructed and Functionally Stupid

This document presents a strictly technical evaluation of the Riemann Hypothesis, Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness, and P vs NP, demonstrating that each problem is predicated on assumptions that fail basic structural coherence tests. When examined under the Omi Field framew...

Wilson Sibbett

Abstract Wilson Sibbett was internationally recognized for his groundbreaking work in ultrafast laser science, in the generation of novel picosecond and femtosecond pulse sources, their application and for the development of pulse measurement techniques allowing direct, real-time...

The Keynesian Beauty Contest in Digital Asset Markets: Higher-Order Beliefs, Informational Cascades, and Retail Speculative Bubbles

AbstractNeoclassical asset pricing models, such as the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH), assumethat asset prices reflect the discounted present value of expected future cash flows. Duringperiods of speculative market euphoria, however, pricing dynamics frequently detach fromunde...

Generalizability of a biopsy-trained artificial intelligence algorithm to TURP and HoLEP specimens for detection of incidental prostate adenocarcinoma

Abstract Background Incidental prostatic adenocarcinoma is frequently identified in transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) specimens obtained for the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Artificial intelligence...

Non-Split Ulrich Defects and a Two-Component Conductor Blowup in a Determinantal Degeneration

This paper studies a determinantal degeneration arising from a rank-one matrix cone and analyzes the interaction among a non-split defect module, Ulrich-type structures, conductor geometry, and birational modifications. The defect is described by a globally non-split extension, a...

Variable arithmetic periods : A Multiscale Generalization of Ren's Image-Size Method to Logarithmic Depth Using Harmonic Fiber Weighting

This work develops a new method for estimating the size of iterated images of the quadratic map sending x to x squared plus one over finite prime fields, with the aim of controlling the smallest prime carrying a prescribed exact critical period. The approach departs from Ren’s me...

How shot-level video structure shapes viewer response: evidence from kickstarter

Abstract We examine how shot-level structure in crowdfunding videos is associated with viewer response measured as the log of funds raised. Guided by event segmentation theory, we focus on two boundary-based properties. The shot transition rate reflects boundary frequency relativ...

Happy Homework 2.0: effects on 24-hour movement behaviours in children—findings from a pilot cluster randomised controlled trial

Abstract Background Children’s 24-h movement behaviours—physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep—are critical to health and wellbeing, yet many fail to meet recommended daily guidelines. School-based health interventions offer a scalable approach to improve movement beha...

Sculpting non-Hermitian light in the continuum

Abstract PT- or anti-PT-symmetric non-Hermitian photonic systems can exhibit responses such as phase transitions, slow light, and asymmetric modal evolution near an exceptional point (EP), but realizing a phase-transition process that satisfies anti-PT symmetry and passes through...

Synergistic effect of α-Fe2O3/CuO heterojunction nanocomposite for enhanced electrochemical simultaneous detection of dopamine and ascorbic acid

Abstract Electrochemical sensing of ascorbic acid (AA) and dopamine (DA) has attracted considerable attention owing to their important roles in biological systems; therefore, precise determination of these analytes is essential for biological and clinical analysis. In this work,...

Reconciling approximate ordinary differential equations and noisy data using theory of functional connections

Abstract The application of theoretical models to real-world problems is often accompanied by uncertainty regarding the validity of the governing differential equations and the experimental data. This paper addresses the challenging problem of solving ordinary differential equati...
