Consensus-based eligibility criteria and component definitions for neonatal and infant enhanced recovery pathway: a multidisciplinary delphi study

Abstract Objective The 2020 Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) guidelines for neonatal intestinal surgery have not been widely implemented due to unclear eligibility criteria and poorly defined components. We sought to establish consensus-based eligibility criteria and defin...

VO2-Based Thermochromic Films Modified by Transparent Matter-Repellent Surfaces with Superior Self-Cleaning Ability and Mechanical Robustness

Vanadium dioxide (VO2)-based thermochromic films are highly attractive for smart window applications due to their ability to dynamically modulate solar radiation in response to ambient temperature. However, their practical deployment is significantly hindered by poor long-term st...

Flame Structures and Emissions of Premixed Partially Cracked Ammonia/Air Swirl Flames

Waste-heat-assisted catalytic cracking offers a practical route to improve the reactivity of ammonia for gas turbine applications. This study experimentally examines the effects of cracking ratio on flame structure, stability, and nitrogen oxide emissions in a model gas turbine c...

Bibliometric analysis of groundwater remediation research in China and the United States: a comparative insight

The United States and China were the two most productive countries in global groundwater pollution remediation research, having accumulated substantial findings and practical experience through sustained funding and long-term scientific investment. However, a comprehensive compar...

Self-Fibre: A Finite Quantum Reconstruction Model with Discrete Reconstruction Obstructions

Preprint; submitted to Journal of Mathematical Physics. We introduce Self-Fibre, a finite-dimensional mathematical framework in which relational structures between local quantum systems (“fibres”) are not postulated but selected from local fibre data through a variational reconst...

Score Cloud Analysis for Rule-Aware Ranking Robustness Under Discrete Judgment Uncertainty

Rule-defined rankings often transform continuous marks, discrete judgments, trimming rules, caps, truncation, and tie-breaking variables into a single official order. When ranking margins are small, a formally valid outcome may nevertheless be sensitive to marginal changes in the...

A Screening-Level Multi-Index Framework for Assessing Surface Water Quality Trends in the Atrato River Basin, Colombia, Under Data-Scarce Monitoring Conditions and Artisanal Gold Mining Pressure

This study presents a screening-level multitemporal assessment of surface water quality in the Atrato River (Chocó, Colombia), a tropical river system heavily influenced by artisanal and illegal gold mining, elevated sediment loads, and untreated domestic wastewater. Using record...

Mined 2756 lottery+quantum breakthroughs. Extracted 23163 leads across 13 categories. 20939 high-value leads found. Categories: {"CORRIDOR": 1960, "FORMULA": 1797, "GEOMETRIC": 853, "FORWARD_ATTEMPT": 2080, "QUANTUM": 2290, "TIMING": 256, "CELESTIAL": 1888, "GEMATRIA": 1982, "CON...

Boundary Matching Multiplicity from Orthogonal Signings: Determinant Bounds, Stability, and Refined Cube Certificates

Let W be a Hermitian matrix supported on a graph G and satisfying W² = αI. Across a cut V(G) = S ⊔ T, the identity BB* = αI − A² gives a rank certificate. This manuscript develops local Hall-profile bounds via principal Gram matrices and quadratic effective rank, an elementary Ca...
