New Algebraic Modeling of Autonomous Fractal Trees in D-Dimensional Spaces and Their Optical Rendering via Cascaded Perspective Projection.

This paper introduces a unified algebraic framework for the generation and visualization of complex binary, ternary, and quaternary fractal branching structures embedded in arbitrary D-dimensional Euclidean spaces (R^D). While traditional fractal tree algorithms rely on discrete...

Associations between alcohol drinking patterns and sexual and reproductive health outcomes among females of reproductive age in Ghana: a cross-sectional study

Alcohol use is a modifiable behaviour that may influence sexual and reproductive health (SRH). This study examined associations between alcohol drinking patterns and SRH outcomes among females of reproductive age in Ghana. A cross-sectional study design that utilised a dataset fr...

On the need to account for soil erosion rates in water quality indices for tropical Rivers: Insights from Cesar River, Colombia

A large body of research suggests that soil erosion in developing countries is reaching critical rates and that its offsite effects (e.g., increased sediment concentration in water bodies) could be amplified by global warming. In most cases, Water Quality Indices (WQI) do not dif...

From water to land: evolution of tRNA gene repertoires in photosynthetic organisms

Abstract Photosynthetic eukaryotes have undergone evolutionary shifts from aquatic to terrestrial habitats, accompanied by changes in genome organization and gene regulation. Yet, the evolution of transfer RNA (tRNA) gene repertoires has received limited attention despite their c...

Discrimination of the National Early Warning Score versus the 2018 Chinese Emergency Triage Standard for in-hospital mortality in emergency department patients with confirmed high-risk cardiovascular and aortic emergencies: a single-centre retrospective cohort study

Abstract Background The National Early Warning Score (NEWS) is a physiological severity score, whereas the 2018 Chinese Emergency Triage Standard is a categorical triage system used to assign treatment priority. Both use information available at first emergency department (ED) as...

P1.005. Preliminary Pilot Study Cohort Results - Cost-Effective Surveillance Strategies and Prediction of Cancer Recurrence After Endoscopic Therapy for Barrett’s Esophagus (Endeavor)

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Barrett‘s Esophagus: High-Grade Dysplasia and Early Invasive Cancer Background In many European countries, esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) incidence is increasing [1]. Barrett’s esophagus(BE), strongly associated with EAC, can progress via dyspla...

P1.136. Toward Vagal-Sparing Esophagectomy: Defining Surgically Reproducible Zones of Pulmonary Autonomic Preservation

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Other Background Pulmonary complications remain a major cause of morbidity after transthoracic esophagectomy. Injury to pulmonary vagal branches during mediastinal lymphadenectomy may contribute to postoperative respiratory dysfunction. Precise s...

Protocol for a feasibility randomized controlled pilot trial evaluating a teacher program to support preschool children with autism and language delay

Abstract Background Early intervention in naturalistic settings is essential for supporting young children with difficulties within the autism spectrum. In recent decades, there has been an increasing inclusion of children with developmental problems in mainstream schools. Howeve...

Barriers to passive retrofitting of residential buildings as interconnected systems: network analysis and qualitative perspectives from stakeholders

Purpose Despite growing advocacy for sustainable building retrofitting, the construction sector remains faced with different barriers in developing countries. This study uncovers nuanced barriers to passive retrofitting of residential buildings from the perspectives of stakeholde...

P1.240. Anastomotic Technique for Two-Stage Oesophagectomy: A Single-Centre Evaluation Following Introduction of a Robotic Programme

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Surgical Treatment of Esophageal Cancer – technique Background Anastomotic leak remains one of the most consequential complications following oesophagectomy, driving morbidity, mortality, and prolonged recovery. Anastomotic technique is a key mod...

Butterfly gliomas of the corpus callosum: A systematic review of the literature

Objectives: Although rare, butterfly gliomas are notorious for their inferior clinical outcomes. The objective of the present study was to systematically review the available literature regarding the optimal management protocols and prognosis of butterfly glioma based on the avai...

Joint Modeling of Random Initiation Time and Thermal Damage in Rocks Using a Hybrid Variational Bayesian Approach

ABSTRACT Thermal damage significantly influences the reliability and service life of rock materials in many engineering applications, including underground structures, geothermal systems and energy storage. In practice, damage initiates internally at unknown and random times unde...

Artificial Intelligence, Climate Governance, and Environmental Justice: Comparative Perspectives from the United Kingdom and Africa

Abstract This paper examines the recent role of artificial intelligence (AI) in climate governance and its impacts on environmental justice with the United Kingdom and Africa as a comparative case study. As AI is increasingly incorporated into environmental monitoring and climate...

Tailoring structural and optical properties of CdSe thin films deposited with nominal Tb³⁺ precursor concentrations (0–10 mol%) via chemical bath deposition

Cadmium selenide (CdSe) thin films were deposited on glass substrates by chemical bath deposition using nominal Tb³ ⁺ precursor concentrations of 0 –10 mol% at 80 °C. The influence of increasing Tb precursor concentration on the structural, morphological, and optical properties o...

READING HEATWAVES THROUGH THE CONTEXTUAL REDISTRIBUTION OPERATOR

This document presents a reading of heatwaves based on the contextual redistribution operator, denoted ORC. The ORC is the successor to the former K dyn. It is not an adjusted exponential formula, but a local conservation rule. A meteorological station is treated as a node posses...

P1.223. Outcomes After Oesophageal Resection in Octogenarians: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Surgical Treatment of Esophageal Cancer – early outcomes and complications Background The incidence of oesophageal cancer increases with age, yet octogenarians remain underrepresented in surgical series. Evidence regarding the safety and oncologi...
