Aerodynamic testing of pulsed-jet actuation on a short-inlet UHBR engine nacelle
Abstract Innovative short-inlet nacelle designs and disruptive technologies are essential for minimizing the drag and weight penalties of high-bypass-ratio turbofan engines. Active flow control (AFC) can mitigate inlet separation under off-design conditions by using local air inj...

A Data-Efficient Deep Learning Paradigm for Crack Segmentation Using Generative AI
High manual annotation costs and poor generalizability often limit the robustness of deep learning models for pavement crack segmentation. This study addresses these challenges by developing and validating a diffusion-based generative artificial intelligence framework to support...

Labor of the Bhikkhuni Sangha: Communal Work as Female Buddhist Practice
This study explores the role of labor as Buddhist practice within the Korean bhikkhuni sangha, with particular attention to ulryeok (communal labor). Bhikkhuni is not a term for a general female Buddhist practitioner, but a technical Buddhist term referring to a woman who has for...

Transport planning and policymaking have been criticized for positivism and instrumentalism that ignore many social and political aspects of transport systems. Andrew Feenberg’s critical theory of technology argues that the way technologies are understood has a profound influence...

Industry 5.0 reframes industrial transformation as a human-centric, sustainable and resilient socio-technical transition. Yet comparable country-level evidence on the capabilities that enable this transition remains limited, particularly for late-digitalizing economies. This stud...

Proving the 2-Part of BSD for Infinite Families of Quadratic Twists — E8 Intelligence Research
FINDING: The Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer (BSD) conjecture links the algebraic rank of an elliptic curve (number of rational points) to the order of zero of its L-function at s=1. Recent work proves the 2-part of BSD for infinite families of quadratic twists with analytic rank 0. MA...

Local flow patterns determine the uneven distribution of atherosclerotic lesions, yet the underlying mechanism remains poorly defined. We previously reported that protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 14 (PTPN14) is implicated in atherosclerosis. Its role in flow-dependen...

The Corrupted Save File: A Poster Series on Data Loss Stories
What did you lose? A wedding photo album when a hard drive failed. Ten years of emails when a provider shut down. A novel draft, half-finished, to a corrupted USB stick. A child's first words, recorded on a phone that never synced. These stories are everywhere—yet rarely spoken a...

A Phenomenological Framework for Neutrino-Induced Molecular Excitation: The NIAR Hypothesis
Neutrinos interact with matter predominantly through the weak interaction, yet established neutrino–matter phenomena demonstrate that measurable effects can arise under appropriate physical conditions. This paper examines whether a neutrino-induced excitation of specific molecula...
