CA-less Mutual Co-Signing of Documents over a Unidirectional Visual Channel with Transported Hardware Attestation

We describe and analyze a protocol for mutual co-signing of a document by two mobile devices that (i) communicate only over a one-way, lossy, low-bandwidth optical channel (an animated on-screen code read by the counterparty's camera), (ii) use no intermediary server on the trust...

Multi-objective and cross-scale inverse design of temperature-control materials via physics-constrained machine learning

Abstract Temperature-control materials, notably composite phase-change materials (CPCMs), show great potential for the thermal management of next-generation power electronics. However, the synergistic optimization of multiple performance metrics still relies heavily on Edisonian...

Clinical and mechanistic validation of skin gravitational stretchability as a new metric for skin aging assessment

Maintaining the skin’s dynamic resilience and youthful compliance is crucial to resisting the visible signs of aging, particularly sagging. We modified a previously reported non-invasive tensile method that simulates the gravitational pull on facial skin for the direct measuremen...

Increasing humidity progressively reduces sweating efficiency similarly in males and females during exercise-heat stress

This study compared the impact of increasing relative humidity (RH) on sweating efficiency (SE) in males and females exercising in the heat. Twenty recreationally active adults (10 females) completed four experimental trials (15, 35, 55, or 75% RH) in an environmental chamber (35...

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia: Recent Updates in Its Prevalence and Diagnosis

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic disorder characterized by dysfunction of motile cilia throughout the body. Within the upper and lower airways, this ciliary dysfunction results in impaired mucociliary clearance. Leading to chronic, progressive respiratory disease cul...

Ruthenium‐Catalyzed Nitrile‐Acrylate Reductive Coupling by 2‐Propanol: Synthesis of Enantioenriched β‐Amino Esters

ABSTRACT Using a ruthenium catalyst derived from RuHCl(CO)(PPh 3 ) 3 and Cy‐BIPHEP, 2‐propanol‐mediated reductive coupling of phenyl acrylate with aromatic or aliphatic nitriles occurs to form α,β‐unsaturated β‐amino esters. Although the reaction products, which incorporate acycl...

Learning Theories Atlas

A visual, interactive atlas of how learning has been theorized. Click any bubble to open its family: six research philosophies at the top, twelve big paradigms beneath, and hundreds of theories, frameworks, methods, principles, and concepts branching out below. Every node opens a...

OA03-RF01.05. The Safety and Efficacy of Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Early Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Scandinavia (SEES-Study)

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Surgical Treatment of Esophageal Cancer – early outcomes and complications Background Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is recommended for early-stage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Most data on the efficacy of ESD for ESCC comes...

Business Signals and Lease Pricing in the Independent Beat Market: Evidence from BeatStars and Traktrain

This paper asks whether stronger observable business signals in a beat listing are associated with higher listed basic lease prices on independent online beat marketplaces. Using a manually coded convenience sample of 100 listings collected from BeatStars and Traktrain, the study...

A comparative study of maternal and umbilical cord iron indices in term infants born after fetal growth restriction and appropriate-for-gestational-age infants

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) may compromise fetal iron accretion through placental dysfunction and increased erythropoietic demand. This study compared maternal and umbilical cord iron indices between term infants born after FGR and appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) infants...

Risk-Adaptive Continuous Attestation for AI Agents

Autonomous AI agents increasingly execute real-world actions through tool calls, including file operations, credential access, and financial transactions. We propose Risk-Adaptive Continuous Attestation (RACA), a framework that dynamically determines when an AI agent must undergo...

DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS' AESTHETIC TASTE AND CREATIVE ABILITIES THROUGH NATIONAL FINE ARTS

The article analyzes the pedagogical possibilities of developing students' aesthetictaste and creative abilities through national fine arts from a theoretical and methodologicalperspective. The purposeful use of national fine arts in the educational process is justified as ameans...

Evaluation of energy performance in buildings with flexible and semi-transparent photovoltaic integration

This paper examines how building envelope material and Building Integrated photovoltaic system (BIPV) integration affects the energy performance of a prototype office building which is located in a semi-arid and warm climate i.e. Peshawar Pakitan. In this study, a simplified sing...

Electronic Conductivity as a Rate‑Limiting Factor for Calcium‑Ion Storage in Layered Vanadium Oxides

ABSTRACT Rechargeable calcium batteries are promising for sustainable energy storage but lack cathode materials that reversibly intercalate Ca 2+ at practical rates. While considerable efforts have focused on improving ionic conductivity, this work investigates how electronic con...

HIOF·Time, Energy, Entropy, Earth — Paper II: Rotation, Carrying, and the Ontology of Energy

Holographic Information Ontological Framework — Time, Energy, Entropy, Earth (HIOF- TEEE) A six-paper ontological series asking why time, energy, entropy, and the existence of Earth take the form physics finds them in. The core idea, stated plainly Physics tells us how time, ener...

P1.034. Long Term Follow Up Electric Stimulation of LES in Esophageal Dismotility and Recurrent GERD

Abstract Topic Benign Disease: Gastro-Esophageal Reflux and Hiatal Hernia Background Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) recurrence after fundoplication is particularly challenging in patients with Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal aperistalsis. Lower esophageal sphincter ele...

Path-Diverse Optical Mesh with Erasure Coding (PDOMEC): A Non-Line-of-Sight Tolerant Architecture for Free-Space Optical Inter-Satellite Links

Free-space optical links in satellite constellations deliver high bandwidth but are vulnerable to short-duration blockages caused by orbital debris, atmospheric turbulence, cloud cells and pointing jitter. Conventional link-level retransmission (ARQ) fails on long inter-satellite...

CX3CR1⁺ CD8⁺ cytotoxic T cells drive tumor killing in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma during neoadjuvant therapy

Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) responses in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) are highly variable, and the immune mechanisms underlying therapeutic sensitivity remain unclear. Here we show, using single-cell RNA, T-cell receptor and whole-exome sequencing of 52 ESCC pa...

Ultrasonic and numerical estimation of thermal management of waste ink powder/epoxy composites

Every year, large toner cartridges are made and used in printers and copiers. Because waste cartridges contain toner powder with a specific chemical composition, they are classified as hazardous waste. As such, recovering waste cartridges is crucial for both waste management and...
