AI Referenceability: A Framework for Designing Knowledge That AI Can Reliably Retrieve and Reference

This technical note introduces AI Referenceability, a framework for designing knowledge resources so that AI systems can reliably retrieve, identify, attribute, and reuse the correct source of information. AI Referenceability differs from conventional AI visibility. Visibility as...

HUMAN-Framework-Toolkit

The HUMAN Framework Toolkit is an open-source research resource designed to support the transparent, reflexive, and human-led use of generative artificial intelligence in psychological thematic analysis. It accompanies the HUMAN Framework (Human-led Understanding and Meaning in A...

Fully Decentralized NFT Storage through Frequency Domain Neural Network Compression

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and other Web3 multimedia are typically stored off-chain because image and video assets exceed practical on-chain storage budgets, creating a gap between immutable ownership records and long-term media availability. This paper proposes a collection-leve...

Healthy lifestyles and sustainability premium: economic valuation of ESG attributes in beer production

Purpose This study aims to assess whether sustainability attributes in beer – packaging and ethical production – generate measurable monetary value for consumers, and examines how healthy lifestyle patterns (health orientation and sports participation) moderate willingness to pay...

Impact of Alternate Wetting–Drying Environment on Ionic Strength of Aqueous Solution, Durability, and Microstructural Properties of Geopolymer Concrete

Abstract Durability properties of geopolymer concrete (Gc) produced using fly ash (FA), and FA plus ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) were investigated by subjecting specimens to cyclic wetting–drying conditions in various environments, i.e., water, NaCl (NC), NaCl + N...

Digital Data Engagement and Health Behavior Diversity Among Smartwatch Users

Smartwatches generate continuous personal health data, yet their value for self-care depends on users’ ability to engage with these data meaningfully. Using a cross-sectional survey of 838 adult smartwatch users in Taiwan, this study examined digital data engagement (DDE) as a da...

A Biomimetic Breast Tumor‐On‐Chip Platform Reveals Mesenchymal Marker Upregulation Following Gold Nanorod Photothermal Therapy

Photothermal therapy (PTT) using plasmonic nanoparticles has emerged as a promising strategy for localized cancer treatment, yet physiologically relevant models for assessing cell-line model-dependent responses remain limited. Here, we engineered a breast tumor-on-chip platform t...

Reducing Sycophancy in Small Language Models with Runtime Activation Steering: Efficacy, Stubbornness, and Capability Trade-offs

We ask whether runtime activation steering can reduce factual sycophancy in small language models without making them excessively stubborn or degrading unrelated capability. From factual multiple-choice conversations, we identify cases in which each unsteered model naturally cave...

Discrimination Without Intent in Generator-Evaluator Systems

This conceptual research paper examines AI-mediated hiring systems in which language models operate on both sides of evaluation. It introduces synthetic homophily as a non-anthropomorphic description of evaluator affinity, formulates generative-provenance invariance as a procedur...

Bio‐Inspired Oligocellulose‐Regulated Ice‐Water Interfaces Enable Sustained Ion Transport in Frozen Aqueous Zinc Batteries

ABSTRACT While highly concentrated salts and organic components enhance the subzero performance of zinc batteries by improving electrolyte fluidity and conductivity, their high cost and environmental pollution negate the inherent sustainability and economy of aqueous electrolytes...

Hydrochemical Characteristics and Evolution of Groundwater in Weibei Plain Based on Hydrogeological Zoning (China)

The Weibei Plain, characterized by its complex stratified aquifer system and extensive brine resources, faces severe groundwater salinization. Unraveling the precise evolutionary mechanisms of diverse hydrochemical types across varying depths and geomorphological zones remains a...

Intestinal Fucosylation: A Key Regulatory Hub in Homeostasis and Disease Pathogenesis

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer (CRC) are heterogeneous intestinal disorders that pose significant threats to human health and share common pathological features, including intestinal mucosal barrier disruption and gut microbiota dysbiosis, in which fucosyl...

Mission-Phase Feature Learning for eVTOL Li-Ion Battery Prognostics: A Leakage-Safe Cell-Held-Out Benchmark for SOC, SOH, and RUL

Reliable battery prognostics for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft require models that preserve phase-dependent electrothermal information while generalizing to cells absent from training. This study reconstructs the public CMU eVTOL battery dataset and esta...

Exploring the moderating role of maternal attachment style on the impact of a virtual reality environment on parental empathy and style: A pilot study

Research has demonstrated that parental empathy, a factor implicated in risk of child maltreatment, could be enhanced using Virtual Reality (VR) by helping mothers to take a child perspective. However, whether parental attachment style could affect the efficacy of this approach i...

Psychometric validation of a community healthcare scorecard used for marginalized populations in Bangladesh

Background Achieving equitable and quality healthcare for marginalized groups remains a critical challenge in Bangladesh. Community perceptions are crucial for assessing healthcare system performance, yet tools like Community Scorecards (CSCs) often lack rigorous psychometric val...

A Pre-Metric Relational Framework for the Emergence of Physical Structure

This technical note develops a pre-metric relational framework for the emergence of measurable physical structure and the conditional reconstruction of Lorentzian geometry. The proposal distinguishes the emergence of causal order from the emergence of metric scale: asymmetric eff...

Returning dignity to the victims by ‘rendering history legible’: Georges Didi-Huberman, dialectical montage and the question of the archive

This text examines Georges Didi-Huberman's philosophy of visuality, focusing on the use of archival images of mass atrocity, partly in response to the ethical and political problem of engaging with photographs taken by perpetrators of violence. Challenging commentators on Claude...
