Multi-Feature Fusion and Seasonal Selection for Forest Type Mapping in a Subtropical–Temperate Monsoon Climate Ecotone Using Sentinel-1/2: A Case Study

Fine-scale mapping of forest types is a prerequisite for accurately assessing forest biomass, biodiversity, ecosystem service values, and carbon budgets. Shihe County, located within an ecotone transitioning from subtropical to temperate monsoon climates in China, was selected as...

“It’s Like You Are Stamped and Then You Never Get to Be Anything Else”: A Photovoice Exploration of Stigma, Oppression, and Substance Use

Grounded in community-based participatory research (CBPR) and an arts-based data collection process known as photovoice, this study analyzed narratives and photos conveying the harmful impact of various social systems on people with a history of substance use. Interviews were con...

Quantum Consciousness Claims Lack Mathematical or Geometric Substance — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: No mathematical insight extracted — all sources are speculative documentaries/titles with zero derivable equations, constants, or testable formalisms. | MATH: None present in metadata; titles reference "quantum consciousness" but provide no operators, Hilbert spaces, or...

LORAMI: Low‐Rank Adaptation for Multi‐Identity Physics‐Based Face Rigs

Abstract Physics‐based simulation can augment facial rigs with high‐quality deformations, but at steep computational costs. While neural surrogates can substantially reduce computation time, existing methods do not generalize across identity variations and instead require expensi...

Verification Goes Where the Agent Is Already Looking: Intent-Aligned Triage of Inherited Memory Under Budget

A long-horizon agent inherits organizational memory it did not write. Giving every record a provenance link does not make that memory safe: an agent holding hundreds of inherited beliefs can follow only a few links before it acts, so the reliability question is not whether proven...

Shabti KI Engine (SKE) — A Domain-Specialised AI System for the Scholarly Analysis of Ancient Egyptian Shabtis

Version note (v1.1): administrative version step; files identical to v1.0, no content change. The additions announced for v1.1 are published in v1.2 (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22083286). The Shabti KI Engine (SKE) is a domain-specialised artificial-intelligence system for the scholarly...

Impact of myopic progression and axial growth on recurrence of intermittent exotropia two years after surgery: A retrospective study

PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of myopia progression and axial length (AL) elongation on recurrence of childhood intermittent exotropia (IXT) two years after surgery. METHODS: We reviewed the medical records of 238 patients aged 4 to 10 years who underwent surgery for basic-type...

Phospholipase D2 acts upstream of PI4P 5-kinases in the response of neurons to extracellular viscosity

The formation of an axon during neuronal differentiation is determined by the competition of positive and negative signals that promote and inhibit extension, respectively. Several biochemical signals have been identified that promote axon extension, but it is just beginning to b...

Stellate Ganglion Nrf2 Modulates Oxidative Stress and Heart Rate Responses in Mice and Rats with Heart Failure

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a growing global health concern characterized, in part, by progressive sympathetic overactivation, which exacerbates this condition. Accumulating evidence identifies oxidative stress as a key driver of sympatho-excitation, mediated by excess reactiv...

Predicting consumers' intention to purchase local foods with GI certification: the interplay of consumer ethnocentrism, place identity, attitude and perceived credibility of origin-labelling

Purpose Nudging consumers to choose local products is gaining importance for relocalisation of agri-food system. Origin labelling, such as Geographical Indication (GI) certification, is being widely promoted as a tool of place branding and for signalling the localness of products...

Residual Trust After Verification: A Microeconomic Account of What Proofs Cannot Eliminate

This paper formalizes residual trust as dependence remaining after verification. It supplies vocabulary (verification surface, residual surface,residual-surface disclosure, trust transfer), maps use cases, compares zero-knowledge proofs with residual trust, presents comparative r...

The minimal equivariant counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture

Machine-certified classification of C*-equivariant Keller maps on C3. We prove that Alpöge's degree-7 counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture is degree-minimal within its full equivariant class: every C*-equivariant Keller map of total degree at most 6 for weights (−1,1,2) is a...

Material Recovery and Reuse in Post-Disaster Housing Reconstruction: Lessons from Global Disaster Contexts

The recovery and reuse of construction materials following disasters has emerged as an important strategy for reducing construction waste, improving resource efficiency, and enhancing the resilience of post-disaster housing reconstruction. However, existing studies remain fragmen...

A comparison of body image components, including attentional bias and body appraisal, in adolescents with anorexia nervosa or depression, and non-clinical controls

Abstract Background Body image disturbance (BID) is increasingly recognized as a transdiagnostic factor. Beyond its established role in anorexia nervosa (AN), specific components of BID are also associated with the development and maintenance of psychopathology in adolescent Majo...

What drives appraisal adjustments in residential valuation? Paired evidence from Ho Chi Minh City

Purpose This study aims to examine the determinants and within-report consistency of appraisal adjustment coefficients in residential land valuation and develops a regression-based screening framework for quality-control review. Design/methodology/approach Using 168 paired subjec...

Touching Grass in the Age of AI: Hyperreality and What is at Stake for Leisure?

Building on Baudrillard’s theory of hyperreality, we introduce the concept of “AI-mediated Hyperreal Leisure” (AI-HL), a form of leisure that is not only generated but also continuously reshaped by AI systems, until simulations predominantly define the very notion of leisure. AI-...

Model Test on Thermo-Mechanical Behavior of Pure Friction Piles Under Cyclic Temperature

Frictional energy piles are a more desirable form of shallow geothermal energy utilization. A pure friction pile condition cannot be achieved in field tests. In this study, foam was placed beneath the model pile tip to weaken the end-bearing resistance. The effects of different c...
