SIGNALRUPTURE INSTITUTIONAL GOVERNANCE FIELD (SR-IGF)
Description The SignalRupture Institutional Governance Field (SR‑IGF) defines institutions not as rule‑bound administrative bodies, but as distributed cognitive‑governance systems that perceive, compress, represent, interpret, decide, act, drift, recoil, and reorganize. SR‑IGF st...

Acute effects of the 1-minute sit-to-stand test (STST) on immune-metabolic stress indices
Abstract Characterizing the non-pathological, exercise-induced immune-metabolic stress regulation is important for understanding physiological adaptations and distinguishing them from maladaptive responses. Because such responses are mostly studied with extensive, resource-intens...

Vanillin Improves Antioxidant Capacity, Immunity, and Gut Microbiota in Broilers
Wle vanillin is widely used as a flavoring agent in food products, its potential as a non-antibiotic feed additive for broilers remains unexplored. This study primarily investigated the effects of dietary supplementation of vanillin on antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory resp...

Understanding drink spiking and needling experiences and reporting in the UK
Abstract Drink spiking has received increasing public and media interest in the United Kingdom (UK), particularly following reports of needle spiking in 2021. Despite growing concern, incidents remain under-reported due to psychological and physical barriers, resulting in low pro...

Compressive Sensing for Reconstruction of Noise from an Aeroengine with Elliptic-Shaped Intake
Abstract Based on our prior theoretical model for elliptical mode detection, compressive sensing is introduced in this work to overcome the limitations of Nyquist-Shannon sampling. The key contribution is showing how to apply compressive sensing to an elliptic duct, which holds p...

Analytical determination of contamination depth of 137 Cs point sources in reactor building walls
Abstract The presence of radioactive contamination in concrete structures poses a silent yet serious threat to both environmental safety and public health. Such contamination, if not properly localized, can lead to prolonged radiation exposure, difficulties in decommissioning, an...
