Neuralgic Amyotrophy Following Rotator Cuff Repair

Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) is an uncommon but potentially debilitating cause of pain and weakness that is felt to be inflammatory in nature. This patient-focused case report describes the experience of a 64-year-old active male who developed severe periscapular pain eight days aft...

Kinetic Insight into the Nucleation and Growth of Nickel Hydroxide Nanostructures on Conductive Ni Foam toward Advanced Hybrid Supercapacitors

Metal hydroxides have drawn immense attention as robust materials for supercapacitor electrodes with enhanced electrochemical performance, desired electroactive structural, and compositional properties. Among these hydroxides, nickel hydroxide nanostructures offer advantages over...

Impact-based forecasting in Japan: a review of the Japan meteorological agency’s real-time risk map “Kikikuru”

Abstract Impact‑Based Forecasting (IBF) has attracted international attention as an approach to enhance disaster risk management by linking weather forecast information to concrete societal actions. This review examines the implementation of IBF in Japan, focusing on the Real‑tim...

Chromosomal integration of a bcrRABD-carrying integrative and conjugative element increases bacitracin resistance in Clostridium perfringens following restrictions in antimicrobial use in Canadian broiler chickens

Abstract Background In response to the threat of antimicrobial resistance, the Chicken Farmers of Canada banned the prophylactic use of Category II antimicrobials in 2018, thereby increasing the reliance on bacitracin to prevent necrotic enteritis in broiler chickens. This study...

Reinforcement Technologies in Flexible Composite Pipes: Engineering principles, reinforcement architectures and application-based selection

Flexible composite pipes (FCPs) are increasingly used across energy and industrial applications, where their corrosion resistance, low weight, spoolability and installation efficiency offer significant advantages over conventional metallic pipeline systems. Central to their struc...

Adaptation, Not Priming: A Repulsive In-Context Aftereffect Carried by a Sparse Set of Attention Heads

In-context learning is assumed to assimilate: repeated exposure pulls the next prediction toward the repeated pattern, as induction and copy mechanisms attest. We report the opposite sign for graded scalar attributes, and establish three things about it. The phenomenon. Across fi...

A reinforcement-driven multiple-instance learning method for multi-task speaker attribute prediction

Abstract Standard models for predicting speaker attributes from text often fail to manage multiple, interdependent attributes simultaneously, and existing Reinforced Multiple-Instance Learning (RL–MIL) frameworks are typically limited to single-task prediction. To address this, w...

WGS Data from HG002 on the Cyclone G400-ER platform (S1 chemistry ultra-long)

Ultra-Long sequencing of HG002 was performed on the Cyclone G400-ER platform (S1 chemistry). The dataset supports comprehensive evaluation of sequencing performance, de novo assembly, and variant detection.

Gravitational Manipulation Theory v2.4 — Apparatus-Space Scaling of Information Sufficiency

Gravitational Manipulation Theory (GMT) v2.4 extends the information-sufficiency program from a finite three-class robustness test to a pre-registered apparatus-design space. GMT v2.2 established, for a single Controlled Synthetic Apparatus (CSA), operator sufficiency at (L^*{\ma...

The Great Pyramid of Giza: A Forensic Engineering Analysis of Construction Methods

This technecial memorandum presents a forensic engineering examination of the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza. It evaluated the surviving structure as physical evidence and examines construction requirements involving geometry and dimensional control, structural behavio...

Two-Year-Old Girl With Chronic Cough and Lymphadenopathy

A 27-month-old previously healthy girl presented with 3 months of cough and 1 day of fever and rhinorrhea. Her parents had immigrated from Africa, but our patient had been born in the United States and had no notable environmental exposures. An alarming chest radiograph suggested...

Verifiable Agentic Commerce: A Protocol-Driven Framework for Strategic Information Disclosure and Hallucination-Resistant Autonomous Negotiation

As Artificial Intelligence transitions from a passive retrieval tool to an autonomous economic actor, the emergence of Agentic Commerce necessitates a robust infrastructure for secure bilateral negotiation. While current Large Language Model (LLM) agents demonstrate advanced reas...

“Trends and future directions in purchasing decisions in supply chain management”: a systematic review and bibliometric analysis from pre-to post-pandemic

Purpose This study uses the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology to critically examine and review existing research on supplier selection in supply chain (SC) management before and after the onset of the pandemic. The study explo...

Comparative Clinical Effectiveness and Operating Efficiency of Different Ultrasonic Devices for Performance of Sleeve Gastrectomy

INTRODUCTION: This study aims to evaluate clinical and economic outcomes of using different ultrasonic energy devices in patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG). METHODS: The patient cohort was extracted from PINC AI™ Healthcare Data 2019-2023, including individuals aged ≥ 18...

KongMen: Real-Time Dialogue Purification via Training-Free Entity-Redundancy Gating

Long-context LLMs (128K–1M tokens) reduce truncation loss, but full-length inputs incur proportional latency, cost, and memory overhead. We propose KongMen, a training-free, LLM-free real-time dialogue purifier for multi-turn conversations. KongMen removes conversation-internal r...

Near-Adjacent HeavyLanthanide Separation and SensingUsing Dimerizing Lanmodulins

Abstract Protein-based recovery, detection, and separation of rare earth elements (REs) have accelerated since the discovery of the lanmodulin (LanM) proteins. While exceptional at total RE recovery, prior proteins, like most ligands, exhibited limited ability to differentiate RE...

Admission criteria and academic performance in first-year medical and dental students at a new medical school in Zambia: a historical cohort study

Abstract Background Sub-Saharan Africa carries 25% of the global burden of disease yet has only 3% of the world’s health workers. Zambia, with a population of approximately 19.7 million (2024), reported a physician density of 0.93 per 10,000 population — far below the WHO-recomme...

A Temporal-Spatial Balloon Universe: A New Conceptual Primitive for Gravity and a Global Cosmological Model that Dissolves the Principal Paradoxes of ΛCDM

This paper proposes a conceptual reframing of cosmology and fundamental physics grounded in two related primitives: (1) a new local primitive for gravity, understood as an invariant, extremely weak action concentrated by radial geometry rather than as curvature taken as ontologic...

Dirty Entanglements: Corruption, Crime, and Terrorism
