AVIDbase : A biologically accurate structural dataset of nanobody‐antigen complexes

Accurate structural data in a standardized format is one of the key factors behind the success of machine learning (ML)-based methods for protein design and structure prediction. However, their application to nanobody-antigen complexes has lower success rates compared to globular...

Manifestations of Taboo in Contemporary English Drama: Sarah Kane's (Blasted as a Case Study)

ABSTRACT Objective: This study explores the manifestations of taboo in contemporary English drama, using Sarah Kane’s Blasted as a case study. It seeks to identify the different forms of taboo and the artistic techniques adopted by the playwright to break them. Theoretical framew...

Neutrophil Extracellular Trap-Derived DNA Activates the ITGB1/FAK Pathway to Promote Lung Adenocarcinoma Metastasis

Abstract Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have recently emerged as key modulators of cancer progression and metastasis. However, a more comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms could help identify effective strategies to prevent and treat NET-mediated metasta...

EXTRACTED CONSTANTS (rlab #186): 1.618, 2.618, 4.236 — E8 Intelligence Research

constant phi = 1.618 — Explicitly referenced as phi ratio for spiral text analysis. constant phi_squared = 2.618 — Derived from phi, mentioned as a multiple to test in radial distances. constant phi_cubed = 4.236 — Derived from phi, mentioned as a multiple to test in radial dista...

Deconstructing tourist experiences in China's traditional villages: a cognitive–affective–conative perspective

Purpose While traditional village tourism is rapidly flourishing in China, scholarly research on tourists' experiences within these destinations remains limited. This study explores the tourist experience in China's traditional villages. Design/methodology/approach Using the cogn...

Bending, Not Breaking: How the Fabric of the Cosmos Survives the Quantum Realm

This article explores the mechanics of "Causal Smoothing," presenting a novel perspective on how macroscopic spacetime interacts with the volatile quantum vacuum. By modeling spacetime as a geometric low-pass filter constrained by the speed of light (c), Author demonstrates how t...

Z₂ Parity: Mod-2 Topological Invariant via Kramers Pairs and Surface Dirac Cones — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Z₂ parity in 3D time-reversal-invariant topological insulators is a mod-2 index, not a continuous invariant — it classifies band structures via Kramers pairs and requires odd number of surface Dirac cones. | MATH: Z₂ invariant ν ∈ {0,1} defined via Pfaffian of the time-r...

Use of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists is associated with inadequate bowel preparation for colonoscopy in patients with diabetes

AIMS/INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) delay gastric emptying and may impair bowel preparation for colonoscopy. However, evidence in Asian populations is limited, and the impact of dosing frequency remains unclear. We examined the association betw...

Does online informal social capital enhance healthcare technology adoption among older adults? The mediating role of attitudes

Healthcare technology adoption is critical for older adults to enhance healthcare access and autonomy. Limited research has examined the effect of social capital on healthcare technology adoption among older adults. Adopting the technology acceptance model and social capital theo...

A prospective, randomized study comparing different therapeutic modalities for acute adenoviral conjunctivitis

PURPOSE: To compare the outcomes of three different therapeutic modalities in acute adenoviral conjunctivitis. DESIGN: Prospective randomized study. METHODS: A total of 65 eyes of 65 patients with nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-proven adenoviral conjunctivitis were enroll...

Comparative evaluation of cement stabilized well graded sand using rice husk ash, fly ash, and recycled plastic fibers for subgrade applications

Abstract This study evaluates the strength and compaction behavior of well-graded sand stabilized with cement and waste-derived materials for subgrade applications. Rice husk ash (RHA), fly ash (FA), and recycled plastic fibers (RPF) were combined with cement to investigate their...

Nanoenabled biostimulants as rhizosphere engineers: how surfaces and carriers rewire root exudation and microbial guilds

Nanoenabled biostimulants with explicitly designed surface chemistry, carrier architecture, and release kinetics can systematically reprogram root exudation profiles, selecting and stabilizing beneficial rhizosphere guilds in ways that conventional formulations cannot; claims tha...

Cascading risks in the global nickel supply chain and their implications for battery-based electrification

Global electrification is rapidly increasing nickel demand because of its role in nickel-rich battery chemistries. Yet the systemic vulnerabilities of the global nickel supply chain and their implications for battery-related electrification remain insufficiently understood. Here,...

Pollen viability and germination performance in Gerbera: a comparative evaluation of assessment methods

Accurate and reliable assessment of pollen fertility is a critical prerequisite for selecting suitable pollen parents in ornamental plant breeding programs. This study aimed to evaluate pollen viability and in vitro germination performance in three commercial Gerbera jamesonii cu...

Binary Flow V: Topological Phase Geometry and the Structure of the Universe.

We present the topological completion of the Binary Flow theory. Based on the phase-geometric framework, we show that the universe’s large-scale structure —including black holes, galaxy formation, dark matter, and the arrow of time— emerges from the geometry of the phase field Φ(...

EXPRESS: Coexisting leftward asymmetry for single-letter flankers and symmetry for bigram flankers in the flanker lexical decision task

The study of parafoveal effects on word recognition has been a central topic in psycholinguistics for decades. Recently, the flanker lexical decision task (Dare & Shillcock, 2013) has become a key paradigm for investigating how parafoveal letter strings affect the processing of a...

Artificial intelligence in mathematics education: a two-dimensional conceptual framework and meta-review

Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming mathematics education just as it is reshaping many other domains of modern life, creating new opportunities that fundamentally change the way students and teachers work. AI has become an increasingly prominent topic in mathema...

Feasibility of Using Clinicians to Code the Actionability of Narrative Comments About Patient Experience for Quality Improvement

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Many healthcare organizations administer Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) surveys and use both quantitative ratings and qualitative narrative comments. While narrative data offer rich insights into patient experience, thei...

A PPO-based PI tuning scheme for pitch control of floating offshore wind turbines

Abstract Blade pitch control is critical for stabilizing floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) in above-rated regions. However, conventional proportional-integral (PI) controllers, typically derived from simplified linear models, often suffer from model mismatch and limited cap...
