Unveiling the self through augmented reality consumption experiences

Purpose Technology-mediated consumption experiences can influence consumers in ways that extend beyond attitude changes or behavioural responses, inspiring curiosity and openness about the self. Focusing on augmented reality (AR) tools, this study aims to develop and validate a f...

Learning environment perceptions among occupational therapy students in Norway: sociodemographic, study behaviors, and performance covariates to cluster allocation

Little is known about how learning environment (LE) perceptions cluster within student populations and how such profiles relate to study behaviors and performance. This study aimed to identify clusters of Norwegian occupational therapy students based on their LE perceptions and t...

Atypical Kaposi Sarcoma in HIV Infection with Predominant Nodal Involvement

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is an angioproliferative neoplasm driven by human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), most commonly occurring in immunocompromised individuals, particularly in association with HIV infection. Although it classically presents with characteristic cutaneous or mucocutaneous l...

Walking in Someone Else’s Shoes: Implementing Diverse Literature in ELA Curricula to Build Empathy in Adolescents

This paper advocates for the inclusion of diverse literature in secondary English/Language Arts classrooms to build empathy in adolescents from homogenous communities to better prepare students to engage in an ever-evolving society. Current scholarship focuses primarily on how re...

PUH Theorem 337 (A Medium Cannot Outrun Itself) — Because c² = 60J/ρ Is Derived Rather Than Imposed, a Superluminal Metric Distortion Is a Superluminal Disturbance of the Lattice; the Surfer Analogy Misses the Claim and the Sound Analogy Meets It

Photonic Universe Hypothesis (PUH) —WHAT THE WARP PROPOSAL ACTUALLY CLAIMS. It is commonly said that a warp drive would let a ship exceed the speed of light. IT WOULD NOT, and the distinction is the whole of what follows. In the Alcubierre construction the ship sits in a LOCALLY...

Jomon Repulsive Force

Definition Definition 1. Repulsive force is force which makes the length of a one-dimensional space become larger.

Data-Driven Fatigue Trajectories in Multiple Sclerosis and Their Predictors

Fatigue is one of the most disabling symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS), yet its longitudinal trajectories and determinants remain poorly characterized. We aimed to identify trajectories of cognitive and physical fatigue in relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) and to determine baseline...

Dynamic reconfigurable metamaterials for coordinated heat and charge transport

Coordinated control of coupled heat and charge transport is fundamental to advanced thermoelectric energy conversion and management. Existing thermoelectric metamaterials are largely limited to static or steady-state functionalities. While spatiotemporal modulation has enabled dy...

Three millennia of lizard and snake consumption by Natufian foragers

Squamate (lizard and snake) exploitation provides a rarely documented window into human dietary flexibility at the end of the Pleistocene. This study analyzes over three millennia of squamate remains from el-Wad Terrace (Israel), revealing that large-bodied snakes and lizards for...

Association Between PS-OCT Derived Polarimetric Entropy and RPE Cellular Metrics Measured With Adaptive Optics Imaging in Retinitis Pigmentosa

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between entropy values derived from the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) layer using polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) and RPE cellular metrics obtained by adaptive optics transsclera...

Low‐Dose Chlorothalonil Induces Testicular Injury Through Disruption of Steroidogenic Signaling in Adult Male Mice

ABSTRACT Chlorothalonil (CHL) is a widely used organochlorine fungicide frequently detected in environmental and food matrices. Although increasing evidence indicates adverse effects in nontarget species, the mechanisms underlying CHL‐induced male reproductive toxicity remain inc...

Phi-Encoded Spatio-Temporal Torsion of Root Vector Manifolds — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240 root vectors do not merely synchronize; they undergo a non-linear torsion when the 132 Hz base frequency meets phi-coupled phase shifts, creating a 4D geometric spiral in information density. This torsion acts as a predictive manifold, where time-price nodes are the physi...

Cu(II)-CatalyzedCoupling of Unactivated Alkenes withSodium Sulfinates for Allylic Sulfones

Abstract We describe a catalytic method for preparing allylic sulfones from unactivated alkenes with sodium sulfinates via a directed, copper(II)-catalyzed sulfonylation process. This transformation exhibits a broad scope, accommodating diverse 3-butenoic acids containing interna...

Diroximel fumarate confers neuroprotection via reduced Th1 responses and induction of the anti-oxidative Nrf2 pathway in experimental neuroinflammation

Inflammation and oxidative stress contribute significantly to tissue damage in multiple sclerosis. Fumaric acid esters such as Dimethyl fumarate and Diroximel fumarate (DRF) exhibit immunomodulatory and antioxidative properties, although their mechanisms remain incompletely under...

Mushroom β-Glucan as a Novel Prebiotic: Enhancing Recovery of the Post-Antibiotic Gut Microbiota over 60 Days

Antibiotic-induced dysbiosis can cause persistent alterations in gut microbial composition and fermentative metabolism, yet the long-term role of mushroom β-glucan-based prebiotics in supporting post-antibiotic microbiota modulation remains poorly defined. To address this gap, th...

Numerical investigation of residual stress and welding deformation in S700MC/DP1180 dissimilar-metal butt-welded joint

This study proposed material models for the S700MC/DP1180 dissimilar-metal butt-welded joint, which accounts for solid-state phase transformation and tempering softening. Based on the models, a numerical approach was employed to calculate the welding-induced stress and deformatio...

Theta Functions of E8 Lattice Link Modular Forms to Critical L-Values — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Modular forms count points on E8 lattice via theta functions, linking number theory and complex analysis; new interpolated sequences connect to critical L-values of modular forms. | MATH: E8 lattice theta function: \(\Theta_{E_8}(q) = 1 + 240 \sum_{n=1}^\infty \sigma_3(n...

Sustainable Dye Removal Applications of Activated Carbon Derived From Albizia Lebbeck Bark

ABSTRACT Industrial dye pollution poses a serious threat to aquatic ecosystems and public health, necessitating the development of efficient and sustainable remediation strategies. In this study, a biomass‐based adsorbent was prepared from Albizia Lebbeck bark using KOH‐assisted...

YOLOv11–BiFPN–DAAF: An Object Detection Framework for Automated Surface Inspection of Balsa Wood Panels

Automated surface inspection of balsa wood panels is challenging because defects may be small, elongated, weakly contrasted, or visually similar to natural grain patterns. This study proposes YOLOv11–BiFPN–DAAF, an enhanced object-detection architecture that combines bidirectiona...

Soil Hydrothermal Response to Seasonal Freeze–Thaw Processes in Low-Water-Content Sandy Gravel Deposits

Seasonal freeze–thaw processes affect soil hydrothermal conditions in high-altitude valleys, yet evaluations based only on air temperature or maximum freezing depth may overlook the distinction between surface-connected freezing and delayed thawing within the soil profile. Meteor...
