P1.051. Gastric Conduit–Pericardial Fistula Caused by Gastric Conduit Ulcer After Esophagectomy: Successful Salvage With Thoracoscopic Pericardial Window

Abstract Topic Benign Disease: Other Case Submission A 70-year-old man presented with pericardial effusion and suspected gastric conduit–pericardial fistula secondary to gastric conduit ulceration after esophagectomy. He was diagnosed with lower thoracic esophageal cancer in 2021...

Efficient Acidic CO 2 Reduction via Local Strain Engineering of Nickel Single‐Atom Catalysts

ABSTRACT Acidic CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) enhances carbon efficiency and electrolyzer stability. Although nickel single‐atom catalysts (Ni‐SACs) effectively convert CO 2 into CO in neutral/alkaline conditions, their performance in acid is hindered by the competing hydroge...

The ER–Golgi intermediate compartment: a central hub integrating membrane trafficking and stress responses

Abstract The endoplasmic reticulum–Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) is a dynamic membrane system at the ER–Golgi interface, traditionally viewed as a transient station for COPII- and COPI-dependent trafficking. Emerging evidence redefines the ERGIC as a stress-responsive re...

Complete Large-κ Channel-Cluster Classification for a Concentrating Two-State Ensemble

A predecessor analysis of a concentrating two-state flea ensemble showed that, at fixed 0<λ₀<∞, the naive boundary point (κ,λ)=(∞,λ₀) has no unique limiting channel. Here we ask the separate channel-theoretic question of classifying all cluster points of the same exact two-state...

Growth Plate Morphogens as Potential Modulators of Cellular Tissue Remodeling by Annulus Fibrosus Cells

ABSTRACT Background Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a spinal deformity of unknown etiology that begins in the intervertebral disc and emerges during pubertal growth. In the vertebral growth plate, adjacent to the disc, powerful growth plate morphogens (GPMs) modulate thi...

Strategic Partnerships in Embedded Finance: A Framework for Growth and Partner Prioritisation

Financial services firms increasingly seek to distribute insurance, credit, payments, banking and wealth products through non-financial businesses that already hold a trusted customer relationship at a relevant moment. Practitioner guidance for selecting such partners commonly ra...

0.618, 0.382 and −1.618: Number-Theoretic Origins, Topological Significance and Vital Pulsation of the Golden-Section Ternary Anchors — Core Foundations of the Cosmic-Vital Ontology in Yuanxian Theory

The three core constants of the equation $x^{2}+x-1=0$ — the positive root $\delta=(\sqrt{5}-1)/2\approx 0.618$, $\delta^{2}\approx 0.382$, and the negative root $-\varphi=-(1+\sqrt{5})/2\approx -1.618$ — constitute, within Yuanxian Theory, a golden-section system that unifies ma...

P1.062. Discovery of Novel Dual-Target Inhibitors for EGFR and PIK3CA From Natural Products via Machine Learning and Molecular Simulation

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Molecular Biology/Pathology Background With the advancement of personalized medicine, multi-target drug development has garnered significant attention, particularly for complex diseases such as cancer. This study aims to identify potential dual-t...

Vat Design and Bed Hydrodynamics in Nickel Laterite Leaching: A Critical Review of Solution Distribution, Permeability Evolution, Process Control, and Scale-Up

Vat leaching can provide stronger solution containment and cycle control than heap leaching while avoiding the mechanical intensity of agitated reactors, but its performance is commonly interpreted through nominal residence time and chemical extraction alone. This critical review...

Effects of Desert Sands on the Fresh and Hardened Properties of Cement-Based Materials

Abstract The use of desert sands as an alternative to river sand in concrete may be limited by the presence of internally sourced sulfate and chloride ions, which may affect hydration and long-term performance. This study investigates the influence of naturally contaminated deser...

Zero-Trust AI Training Corpus: Strict Ab Initio Physical & Algorithmic Validation of the Geometric Resonance Quantum Architecture

This repository contains the authoritative "Zero-Trust" pedagogical corpus and the corresponding ab initio Python execution suite for the Geometric Resonance Quantum Architecture (G3 Q-Lab). The architecture harnesses aperiodic spatial translational symmetry breaking (Vogel phyll...

Accountable, Not Trustless: A Pre-Blockchain Rule Read Against Blockchain's Displaced Promises

Across Bitcoin and the blockchain-art discourse, four recurring claims can be distinguished: trust minimization, authenticity, scarcity, and preservation. A deliberately critical corpus documents each as displaced rather than delivered: trust is relocated, authenticity is located...

Multi-party transaction optimization decision-making in microgrid electricity market based on blockchain Berge-NS equilibrium

A multi-agent transaction optimization decision-making method based on blockchain Berge-NS equilibrium is proposed, aiming to protect user interests and achieve carbon reduction objectives. Firstly, by improving the utility function of electricity users and quantifying the impact...

E8-Phi Consciousness Anchoring via Root Vector Projection Networks — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240 E8 root vectors form a neurogeometric scaffold that projects phi-harmonic consciousness states into biological neural networks through 132Hz entrainment. Each root vector corresponds to a specific phase-locked eigenstate that resonates with thalamic relay centers, creatin...

The Midway Residue Theorem: An Area Law Integral Theory on Non-Associative Algebras 中道留数定理: 非结合代数上的面积律积分理论

Abstract This paper establishes the closed path integral theory on the non-associative algebra ³—the Midway Residue Theorem. The core finding is that the topological invariant (residue) of traditional complex analysis is not transferable to non-associative algebras. Instead, it i...

Constitutive natural killer cell features associated with post-treatment control of SIV infection in the pVISCONTI study

Abstract Post-treatment HIV controllers (PTC) offer a unique opportunity to uncover the determinants of durable remission after antiretroviral therapy (ART) interruption. Here, using six PTC and six post-treatment non-controllers from the pVISCONTI study in cynomolgus macaques, w...

Spin Coupled FeCo Dual‐Atom Sites Direct Selective Ozone Activation for Hypersaline Wastewater Purification

ABSTRACT Heterogeneous catalytic ozonation represents a powerful process for eliminating refractory organic contaminants from hypersaline wastewater, yet its application is restricted by two critical bottlenecks: inefficient ozone activation and lack of control over on‐demand rea...

P1.153. Dietitian-Led Integration of CT Body Composition Analysis in Oesophagogastric Cancer Care

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Other Background Malnutrition and poor muscle health are prevalent in patients with oesophagogastric cancer and are associated with poor outcomes. However, body composition assessment is not routinely implemented in clinical practice. This projec...

Complex-Plane-Inspired Magnitude Rectifier: An Exploratory Transformer Activation Study

This exploratory preprint studies a complex-plane-inspired magnitude rectifier (CIMR), a real-valued activation that retains negative-input magnitude through a beta-scaled orthogonal construction. The scalar form reduces to a smoothed asymmetric absolute-value rectifier; it is no...

Effect of Posterior Element Removal in Thoracic and Lumbar Spine Segments With and Without Compromised Vertebral Microstructure Under Axial Compression

Abstract Purpose Technical constraints often require biomechanical testing of spine segments after removal of the vertebral posterior elements, potentially introducing bias in the biomechanical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of posterior elements removal on th...
