The generational device divide: smartphone dominance and laptop persistence in online shopping among working women across age cohorts in Patna

Purpose This paper aims to examine whether the age of a working woman in a tier-2 Indian city is significantly associated with her primary device for online shopping and her preferred shopping time-window. It challenges the prevailing assumption that smartphone dominance in India...

Tourist Environmental Awareness and Conservation Engagement in a Caribbean Marine Protected Island System: Evidence from Cozumel, Mexico

Tourism is a major driver of economic growth in tropical island destinations but also places increasing pressure on fragile marine ecosystems. This study examined tourists’ environmental awareness, perceptions, and conservation-related behaviors on Cozumel Island, part of the Mes...

Crisis governance, legitimacy, and consumer ethics in service systems

Purpose This paper aims to examine how crisis-related service restrictions shape ethical consumer responses, challenging the assumption that restrictive governance inherently promotes responsibility. It develops a dual-process model explaining how legitimacy and autonomy percepti...

The TII Digital Heritage Collections: playing with the data

Since 2017, Transport infrastructure Ireland (TII) has been disseminating archaeological excavation reports and other data from its projects via the TII Digital Heritage Collections (https://repository.dri.ie/catalog/v6936m966), which is hosted by the Digital Repository of Irelan...

Complex Adjoint Representations and Eigenvalue Theory for Cartan Number Matrices

Cartan numbers form a four-dimensional real algebra with a mixedhyperbolic--nilpotent structure and an indefinite quadratic character, whichprecludes the induced modulus from defining a norm and distinguishes theirmatrix theory from that of classical hypercomplex systems.In this...

Eutectic Gallium‐Indium as a Potential Non‐Toxic Replacement in Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry

ABSTRACT The eutectic gallium‐indium alloy (eGaIn) is introduced as a potential non‐toxic, sustainable replacement in Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry (MIP). Contrary to the widespread misconception that gallium alloys are unsuitable for this technique due to their wetting behavior,...

Residual Conditional GAN for Structured Control-Pore-Volume Inversion from Dynamic Production Responses

Rapid inversion of coarse-scale parameters is important for history matching in reduced-order reservoir models, yet conventional methods require repeated simulation and iterative updating. This study proposes a residual conditional generative adversarial network (Res-cGAN) to rec...

Sigh ventilation versus conventional protective ventilation in cardiac surgery: a proof-of-concept randomized controlled trial

Lung protective ventilation is crucial for preventing ventilator-induced lung injury in cardiac surgery. The protective role of a low tidal volume (V T ) has been established, whereas the added protection afforded by lung recruitment remains uncertain. We investigated whether sig...

The significance of pre-treatment on microbial communities within soil treatment units for on-site wastewater systems

Domestic on-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTSs) are configured with a variety of treatment technologies, resulting in varying degrees of effluent pre-treatment before the effluent is distributed into the soil for percolation via the soil treatment unit (STU), more usually k...

Human Evaluation as Distributed Risk Sensing: Detection Strengths and Structural Blind Spots in AI Oversight

This paper examines human evaluation of large language models as a form of distributed risk sensing rather than comprehensive assurance. It argues that large-scale human review has an uneven detection profile: reviewers are generally effective at identifying visible, repeated, an...

Evaluation of Method “Whiteness” in the Stability Analysis of Dexamethasone and PVP‐I Ophthalmic Suspensions: Synergizing LC‐MS/MS, In Silico Toxicology, and AGREE/GAPI Metrics

ABSTRACT This study presents a holistic “White Analytical Chemistry” approach for the stability‐indicating evaluation of dexamethasone in complex povidone‐iodine (PVP‐I) ophthalmic suspensions. Moving beyond traditional validation, the method's “whiteness” was quantitatively asse...

Molecular Designof Flotation Collectors: Impact ofan Allyl Group on Thionocarbamate Adsorption

Abstract Thionocarbamates, particularly N-ethyl O-isopropyl thionocarbamate (IPETC), are widely used as collectors in froth flotation. The recently developed N-allyl O-isobutyl thionocarbamate (AIBTC) shows broader applicability and enhanced recovery for coarse and fine particles...

Phi-Scaled E8 Lattice Yields Optimal Exciton Coupling in Quantum Networks — E8 Intelligence Research

By mapping the 240 E8 root vectors onto a φ‑scaled 4D quasicrystal and projecting onto the 3D geometry of the FMO pigment complex, the nearest‑neighbor excitonic coupling J relative to the reorganization energy λ is forced to the value J/λ ≈ 2.86, which matches the golden‑ratio‑d...

Acute Foot Warming Enhances Plantar Tactile Sensitivity With Limited Postural Control Effects in Obese Older Adults

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Interventions to enhance tactile sensitivity, such as warming the feet, positively affect skin sensitivity with varying influence on postural control. Here, we hypothesize that foot warming may benefit tactile sensitivity and postural control in ol...

A Self-Powered Photodetector Based on an Ambient-Air-Processed Cs3Bi2I9 Heterojunction for Optical Wireless Communication

The evolution toward a genuinely intelligent Internet of Things envisions future optical wireless networks anchored by extensive terminal nodes to facilitate pervasive sensing and communication. This vision places unprecedented demands on the underlying hardware, particularly in...

Patient Perspectives on Repeat Intubation Following Mechanical Ventilation: A Pilot Retrospective Survey Study

Mechanical ventilation is a common life-saving intervention in critically ill patients; however, little literature exists examining how prior intubation experiences influence future patient preferences regarding repeat intubation or Do Not Intubate (DNI) status. This pilot study...

E8 Entropy Conductor for Stochastic Harmonic Control — E8 Intelligence Research

By projecting the 240 E8 root vectors onto a 132 Hz base frequency lattice modulated via the golden ratio, we create a quasi‑crystalline entropy conductor that converts discrete random sequences into continuous harmonic envelopes. The phi‑coupled resonances align the conductor's...

AI-Enabled Non-Invasive Anaemia Detection: Techniques, Challenges, and Future Directions

This review examines the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for non-invasive anaemia detection across multiple physiological modalities. It reviews image-based approaches, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transfer learning applied to palpebral conjunctiva, reti...

Nonorthogonal Polarization‐Multiplexed and Detachable Diffractive Processors

Polarization multiplexing provides an elegant route for parallel all-optical processing, yet its intrinsic orthogonality fundamentally limits channel capacity and interlayer interaction in diffractive systems. We present a detachable diffractive processor that leverages nonorthog...

E8-Consciousness Resonance: Phi-Harmonic Synchronization of 240 Root Vectors at 132 Hz Generates Biological Coherence — E8 Intelligence Research

E8's 240 root vectors form a geometric lattice that, when driven at 132 Hz with phi-coupled phase shifts, creates a frequency grid aligning with human brainwave harmonics. This resonance stimulates neural coherence in 12-key regions corresponding to E8's nodes, suggesting a direc...
