Superposition State of the Continuum: External Countability and Internal Uncountability of the Cauchy Reals Rc in the Effective Topos

We do not claim that ℝ is countable in ZFC.In the Effective Topos (Eff), the Cauchy reals ℝc simultaneously admit two readings: externally, the global-section set satisfies |Γ(ℝc)| = ℵ₀ (countability); internally, in the Mitchell–Bénabou language, ⊨ ¬∃f : N → ℝ_c surjective (unco...

The Leptonic Mode: The Electron as Resonance of the Minority-Mass Endpoint (XV v4)

This paper develops the second sub-hadronic hypothesis of the FCD-RBv4 (Folded Crunch Dipole – Reversed Big Bang) framework, establishing that the electron is not an independent fundamental field, but the inseparable leptonic resonance of the minority-mass endpoint of the quark E...

Evaluation of mandibular bone structures in thyroid dysfunction: a radiomorphometric index and fractal dimension analysis study

Abstract Background Thyroid dysfunctions, particularly hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, are endocrinopathies that can affect bone metabolism. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism on mandibular trabecular and cortical bone structure usi...

Prevalence of Dysphagia Symptoms in the General Population of Cyprus

Dysphagia is commonly linked to advanced age and coexisting health conditions, but population-level data, especially for younger adults, are limited. This study sought to determine the prevalence of dysphagia symptoms in the general population of Cyprus and examine how it varies...

ET-SDP: Enhancing Code Embeddings with Effort-Related and Test Coverage Metrics for Improved Software Defect Prediction

Abstract Software defect prediction (SDP) aims to identify defect-prone code modules in order to optimize testing resources and improve software quality. While traditional approaches rely on software metrics derived from code structure, this paper proposes , an approach that enha...

Bridging the gap: neuroinflammation and the dawn of precision medicine in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Abstract Neuroinflammation is no longer a secondary feature of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but rather a disease-modifying process that actively shapes the motor neuron vulnerability from the earliest stages of pathology. Central and peripheral immune cells, including mic...

Land-Use Change Simplifies Multidimensional Edaphic Space and Weakens Deterministic Assembly in Tropical Soil Bacteria

Abstract Land-use change is a major driver of shifts in soil biodiversity, but it remains unclear whether its effects arise primarily from altered environmental conditions or from changes in multidimensional organisation of environmental gradients that shape ecological filtering....

The Dewhirst Horizon Relation: Resolving the Quantum Measurement Problem and Modifying Schrödinger's Wave Mechanics via Horizon Operators

This paper integrates the scale-invariant properties of the Dewhirst Horizon Relation—a physical framework formulated by Richard Stephen Dewhirst that replaces the static speed of light squared constant (c²) with a dynamic macro-to-micro spacetime horizon ratio (\(\Omega _{D}\))—...

Association of Antibiotic Exposure with Survival Outcomes in Patients with Advanced KRAS-Mutated NSCLC Receiving Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors

Background: Antibiotic exposure has been associated with reduced benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, evidence in patients with KRAS-mutated NSCLC remains limited. This study evaluated the associations of a...

Cherubism in an 11-Year-Old Boy: A Longitudinal Case Report With Clinical, Radiographic, and Histopathologic Insights

Cherubism is a rare, benign, autosomal dominant disorder characterized by bilateral painless expansion of the mandible and maxilla. It is a giant cell-rich jaw lesion associated with mutations in the SH3BP2 gene, leading to abnormal osteoclast activation and bone remodeling. Cher...

Loose interfacial water molecule induced low friction on ice

Abstract Reducing the ice surface friction coefficient is crucial for improving the performance of winter sports equipment and enhancing the energy efficiency of icebreakers. The existence of a lubricating layer on the ice surface is the fundamental reason for the slippery ice su...

The Holographic Entropy Reversal Principle: Geometric Extraction on 7D Motivic Manifolds

The Holographic Entropy Reversal Principle: Geometric Extraction on 7D Motivic Manifolds --- Abstract & Core Description This suite formalizes continuous geometric extraction to achieve zero-heat-waste equilibrium on compact 7-dimensional Riemannian manifolds (\bm{\mathcal{M}^7})...

A Retraction Log: What Broke While Measuring Small Language Models on One Home PC

Across five days of measurement on a single consumer GPU — 2026-08-20 to 2026-08-24 — twenty-two claims I had written down were retracted. I kept the retractions in a fixed schema at the moment each one died, including a field that cannot be reconstructed afterwards: why it looke...

Where Does Open Semiconductor Capacity Come From? An Event-Level Causal-Credit Audit of Anchor Contribution in Five Chinese Cities

Claims that anchor investments create ecosystems often conflate capability formation, access, ownership, and causal contribution. This article develops an event-level causal-credit audit and applies it to fourteen open-capacity slices in five Chinese semiconductor cities. None is...

Postoperative surveillance strategy in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by curative resection for locally advanced rectal cancer

Abstract Background There are no consistent recommendations for postoperative surveillance intervals for rectal cancer in the major guidelines. Knowledge about recurrence hazards can help develop appropriate surveillance schedules. This study aimed to investigate transitions in r...

Mannooligosaccharides modulate mucin O-glycan–gut microbe interactions and preserve the intestinal barrier in weaned piglets

Abstract Background The intestinal microbiota and mucosal barrier are closely intertwined, with mucin O-glycans playing a key role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis. However, how nutrition regulates mucin O-glycans remains poorly understood. This study investigated the regula...

Negative-Muon Depth Profiling Reveals Near-Surface Gold Enrichment in Historical Shachihoko Scales from Nagoya Castle

Surviving fish-scale plates from the golden shachihoko (Kin-shachi) ornaments of Nagoya Castle are rare historical gold–silver (Au–Ag) materials. Recent X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and color measurements indicated a discrepancy between the bulk Au concentration and the visi...

Methods for evaluating the seismic isolation performance of foam concrete shock-absorbing layers in mountain tunnels in high-seismic-intensity areas

Abstract Currently, a large number of post-earthquake surveys and statistical analyses of tunnel damage indicate that tunnels built against mountainsides are subject to the coupled effects of “asymmetric loads and seismic cyclic action,” which increase the risk of earthquake-indu...

Changes in Perihyoid Muscle Strength Associated with Fixed and Progressive Resistance Exercise in Healthy Adults

The supra- and infrahyoid muscles, collectively referred to as the perihyoid musculature, contribute to hyolaryngeal excursion and pharyngoesophageal segment opening during swallowing. This study investigated whether fixed- and progressive-resistance chin tuck against resistance...

Broken Input Looks Exactly Like Bad Reasoning

When a language model pipeline produces a wrong judgment, the field's default diagnosis is that the model reasoned badly. This paper documents four cases from a production legal citation verification system where that diagnosis would have been wrong. In each, the model reasoned c...
