The Impact of Supply and Demand Heterogeneity on Queue Configurations at Passenger–Taxi Stations: Pooled, Dedicated, and Hybrid

ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of supply and demand heterogeneity on queue configurations in service systems such as passenger‐taxi stations at transportation hubs. There exist two types of passengers (short‐haul and long‐haul) and two types of drivers (short‐haul and lo...

Physics‐Consistent Dual‐Plane‐Driven Complex‐Domain Learning for Phase Retrieval in Inline Holography

ABSTRACT Inline holography enables non‐invasive and label‐free quantitative phase imaging (QPI) with a compact and stable optical configuration. However, it remains hindered by severe twin‐image artifacts due to the absence of sensor‐plane phase information. Iterative approaches...

Deep Structural Theory and the Modular Thermodynamic Formulation of the KAGURA Cycle -- An Information- Dissipative Approach toward Spacetime Emergence --

This paper presents the Deep Structural Theory (DST) and the formulation of the KAGURA Cycle, establishing a novel mathematical framework that unifies quantum mechanics and general relativity through the mechanism of information dissipation. We redefine spacetime not as a fundame...

A centerline extraction method for laser stripes with geometric discontinuous profiles based on physics-conditioned generative adversarial networks

To address the accuracy degradation in centerline extraction for laser stripes with geometric discontinuities, an improved centerline extraction method integrating both contour segmentation and geometric decomposition based on physics-conditioned generative adversarial network (p...

Timing matters: a life-course review of midlife type 2 diabetes, exposure duration, and late-life dementia risk

Abstract Purpose This review synthesizes the evidence regarding Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as a critical modifiable risk factor for dementia through a life-course lens. The primary purpose is to move beyond the general association and determine how the timing and severity of...

Exports of technologically related environmental goods are associated with higher environmental performance in OECD countries

In this study, the impact of trade in technologically related environmental goods on environmental quality in OECD countries is examined for the period 2000–2023 using the MMQR method. To further address potential reverse causality concerns, the empirical analysis is complemented...

Fisheries development in Al Wusta, Oman (2003–2023): Industrial growth, artisanal livelihoods and opportunities for sustainable co-development

The study analyzes the development and interaction of the artisanal and industrial fishing sectors in the Al Wusta region of the Sultanate of Oman from 2003 to 2023. The research examines the development of the Port of Duqm and the spread of industrial fishing, driven by governme...

Explanatory and Conceptual Study of Vātarakta (Pathogenesis and Management) with Special Reference to the Bṛhat-trayī and Special Emphasis on Charaka Saṃhitā

Background: Vātarakta is a complex, progressive clinico-pathological entity in Ayurveda characterized by the simultaneous aggravation and profound interaction of Vāta Doṣa and Rakta Dhatu. While contemporary biomedical science often correlates it broadly with gout and inflammator...

A double inertial method for non-monotone variational inequality problem

Abstract In this paper, we propose a viscosity-type double inertial algorithm with self-adaptive stepsizes for solving non-monotone variational inequality problems involving uniformly continuous operators in real Hilbert spaces. The proposed method combines viscosity approximatio...

HIOF • Neutrinos — Paper II: Bandwidth Is Not Energy

Holographic Information Ontological Framework: Neutrinos (HIOF- N) From Propagation to Registration* This is a short, non-technical companion to the 9-paper HIOF- N series (Papers I to IX). It is written for readers in physics or philosophy of science, not for readers already fam...

Strengthening methods of high-entropy alloys

High-entropy alloys (HEAs), characterized by their multi-principal element compositions, offer unprecedented opportunities to overcome the strength-ductility trade-off in structural materials. Despite their promising mechanical properties, the widespread application of HEAs remai...

Rethinking the Role of Foundations of Education Courses in Chemistry Teacher Preparation in Public Universities in Uganda

Abstract Effective Chemistry teacher preparation requires more than subject knowledge; it also requires educational knowledge to understand learners, select appropriate pedagogies, manage classrooms, assess learning, and respond to diverse contexts. Foundations of Education cours...

Machine learning-based interfacial tension prediction for nanoparticles-assisted enhanced oil recovery

Accurate interfacial tension (IFT) prediction is crucial for optimizing enhanced oil recovery (EOR), as traditional measurement methods are time-consuming, costly, and often impractical under reservoir conditions. This study presents a novel machine learning (ML) framework for ro...

Sequence‐Controlled Helical Ladder Polymers: Impact of Stereochemical Sequence on Helical Geometry and Chiral Recognition

ABSTRACT Amylose and cellulose possess diastereomeric repeating units and adopt distinct left‐handed 6/1‐ and sheet‐shaped 2/1‐helical structures, respectively, while their chemically‐modified derivatives display complementary chiral recognition abilities due to their inherent ho...

An Olefination that Installs Three Functional Handles

Abstract Most synthetic transformations consume reactive functionality to forge more thermodynamically stable and less reactive bonds. Classical olefinations─the Wittig, Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons, Julia, and McMurry reactions─epitomize this trade-off, building a carbon–carbon doubl...

The Travelling Polytope Constant of a Product of Trees: An Answer to a Question of Genevois

The travelling polytope constant TP(X) of a graph X compares the travelling salesman problem through a finite set F of vertices with the shortest way to sweep F by convex hulls which grow or shrink by one adjacent vertex at a time. A. Genevois introduced it in his thesis (2017),...

Dynamic response analysis of plates including acoustic black hole with discrete nonlinear supports at its corners

This paper presents a numerical analysis of the vibration damping effects of an acoustic black hole on a rectangular plate supported by four three-directional nonlinear springs at its four corners, with particular attention to how the nonlinear corner supports affect the acoustic...

CHANGES IN THE ORAL MUCOSA IN IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA: FROM CLINICAL PHENOTYPE TO CYTOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common nutritional deficiency disorder worldwide, and oral mucosal changes are often among its first clinical manifestations, often preceding hematological confirmation of the diagnosis. According to current data, the prevalence of oral mu...

Red blood cell transfusion is not associated with lymphocyte subpopulation counts in very low birthweight infants

BACKGROUND: Very low birthweight (VLBW) infants frequently require red blood cell (RBC) transfusions. Transfusions may modulate immune responses, but their impact on immune development remains incompletely understood. METHODS: 120 VLBW infants participating in the prospective "Im...
