Spatial Redistribution of Gas Hydrates and Its Impact on Pressure-Limited Restart in Deepwater Subsea Flowlines

Hydrates formed during a subsea flowline shutdown can persist as deposits that restrict the subsequent restart. Assessing restartability therefore requires both thermodynamic conditions and the pressure needed to recover flow. This study develops a one-dimensional screening model...

Atmosphere-Induced Preferentially Oriented Growth: Crystalline Evolution and a Tunable Optical Band Gap in Bismuth-Derived β-Bi2O3 Films

Abstract The controllable synthesis of β-Bi2O3 thin films with specific crystallographic orientations is essential for optoelectronic device applications. However, achieving precise orientation control by modulating the growth conditions remains a significant challenge. In this w...

Transformational Leadership and the Reporting of Patient Safety Events Among Emergency Nurses: The Mediating Role of Psychological Safety

Background/Objectives: Underreporting of patient safety events is a persistent problem in high-risk clinical settings such as emergency departments, yet the managerial and psychological conditions associated with reporting remain underexamined. This study aimed to examine the rel...

Nanopipette Sensing of APE1 Activity via Enzymatic Recycling and DNA Tetrahedron−Streptavidin Reporting: Profiling in Cancer Diagnostics, Oxidative Stress, and Cell Cycle

Abstract Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) is a clinical biomarker whose small molecular size hinders direct detection by conventional nanopores (30 nm). Here, we report a nanopipette platform integrating APE1-driven enzymatic recycling amplification with DNA tetrahedro...

Interface-Scoped Dispatch: General Delegation with O(1) Self-Calls

The conceptual appeal of object composition lies in its ability to build loosely coupled systems from independent runtime components. Yet conventional object composition lacks late-bound self-calls, or open recursion, a defining strength of implementation inheritance. Restoring o...

Barriers and enablers shaping kidney transplant care delivery: Insights from Iraqi pharmacists

Background Kidney transplant care in low-resource countries is often affected by multiple factors, including workforce constraints, fragmented communication, and medication access challenges. Given pharmacists’ involvement in medication management and regular patient follow-up, t...

Income Dynamics and Incident Esophageal Cancer: A Retrospective Cohort Study

BACKGROUND: Although socioeconomic status is a recognized risk factor for esophageal cancer (EC), most studies have examined socioeconomic status at a single time point. We investigated the association between income dynamics and incident EC. METHODS: We analyzed 3,361,091 Korean...

Online Casino Bonus Transparency in France: Independent Analysis of 11 Operators (2026)

This report examines how transparently 11 online casino operators accessible to French-speaking players present their bonus terms in 2026. Each operator was tested over at least three weeks with a real deposit of €50 to €100, with bonus wagering played through and withdrawals tim...

Associations Between Oral Frailty Patterns and Depressive Symptoms in Older Adults: A Multicenter Cross‐Sectional Latent Class and Association Analysis

ABSTRACT Background Oral frailty is a comprehensive indicator of age‐related oral decline, yet its heterogeneity and association to depression are poorly understood. We aimed to identify latent classes of oral frailty and evaluate the association between dietary diversity and dep...

Non-Commutative Rough Hybrid Quantum-Classical Information Geometry Dynamics (NC-HQIG): Unifying Hybrid Inseparability, Quantum Fisher Metrics, Noisy Barren Plateaus, and Advantage-Security Duality via UROA, STCT, and RQIG

Realizing practical quantum advantage across the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) and early fault-tolerant regimes requires moving beyond isolated pure-state quantum mechanics to tightly coupled hybrid quantum-classical architectures. This paper establishes Non-Commutative...

Optimal Sharpe Ratio Portfolios and the Role of Perfect Foresight in Returns, Volatilities, and Correlations

Using 50 years of monthly data on the 1,000 largest US equities, this article examines the relative importance of security selection, volatility, and correlations in determining portfolio efficiency. We introduce the Optimal Sharpe Ratio (OSR) portfolio, a boundary-condition fram...

Cartographing Gravity: Operational Maps, the Conatus of Proper Time, and the Potentia of Matter

Classical natural philosophy sought the natural law governing the motion of free bodies long before daring to construct the appropriate mathematical formalism. Following this longstanding methodological perspective, in the present work General Relativity is reconstructed from ope...

Characteristics of Applicants to Oxford House

Oxford House recovery homes represent the largest network of peer-run recovery housing in the United States for individuals with substance use disorders. Despite their widespread use, relatively little is known about the characteristics of individuals who seek long-term recovery...

GraTools, a user-friendly tool for exploring and manipulating pangenome variation graphs

Abstract Background Pangenome variation graphs (PVGs) are powerful tools for studying genomic variations in populations, as they represent genomic diversity through multiple genome alignments. However, current tools often lack integration and efficiency, and require format conver...

Dissecting the role of democracy on fiscal space creation in Africa

This study empirically investigates the extent to which democracy shapes fiscal space in Africa. Although prior scholarship has examined political economy factors, particularly governance quality, in relation to fiscal space, this analysis distinctly isolates democracy’s direct i...

The Threads that Fray: Wedge strategies and Chinese influence operations in the Indo-Pacific

Influence operations provide adversaries with a unique vector to weaken alliances and undermine their internal cohesion. Alliances rely on shared interests, values, and identities to sustain themselves and give their commitments credibility. However, social media affords alliance...

Metal Active‐Site Engineering in High‐Entropy Catalysts for Catalytic Applications

High-entropy catalysts (HECs), including high-entropy alloys and high-entropy oxides, have emerged as a transformative class of catalytic materials owing to their exceptional compositional flexibility and entropy-stabilized structures. Unlike conventional catalysts, HECs possess...

Case report: Bilateral infantile acromion fractures in the setting of congenital glenoid dysplasia

Abstract We report a rare case of a 5-week-old male who presented with isolated acromion fractures occurring bilaterally 10 days apart. As scapular fractures are a high-specificity fracture for abusive injury, these findings were concerning for child abuse. The patient was later...

France’s Pesticide Load Index: Decreasing Ecotoxicity, Persistent Human Toxicity, Rising Concern For Environmental Fate

Pesticide use has strong adverse effect on biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and human health . Numerous policies have been proposed to reduce their use and associated risk but evaluations of changes in pesticide risk over time and space are still rare. Here, we evaluate tempor...

A descriptor-oriented reporting framework for lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticle–semiconductor heterostructures in NIR-activated photocatalysis: Photophysics, interfaces, and ML-ready data

Near-infrared (NIR) photons remain underutilized in heterogeneous photocatalysis because most semiconductor catalysts absorb mainly ultraviolet or visible light. Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) can convert NIR excitation into UV-visible emission and thereby ac...
