Development of a Methodological Approach for Assessing the Surface Layer Moisture of Beneficiation Tailings Based on Analysis of Photographic Images in RGB- and Lab- Color Spaces

The aim of the research was to develop and test a methodological approach for the rapid assessment of the surface moisture content of technogenic formations (beneficiation tailings) based on the analysis of photographic images using color indexes and Euclidean distances in RGB an...

Efficient Production of 14-Membered Macrolides by the Endophytic Fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides GLL-7 and Their Insecticidal Activity against Diaphorina citri

Abstract The citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri) vectors Huanglongbing. Overuse of insecticides causes resistance and pollution, necessitating safer alternatives. Bioactivity-guided fractionation of the fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides GLL-7 yielded two macrolides: Sch725674 a...

Quantum Coherence in Microtubules: Theoretical Promise, Experimental Gap — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Microtubule quantum coherence is proposed as a mechanism for consciousness, but current evidence is largely theoretical/simulational; a concrete experimental confirmation of brain-scale quantum beats remains elusive. | MATH: No explicit equations in the provided search r...

The Impact of Imperfect XAI on Human-AI Decision-Making

Explainability techniques are rapidly being developed to improve human-AI decision-making across various cooperative work settings. Consequently, previous research has evaluated how decision-makers collaborate with imperfect AI by investigating appropriate reliance and task perfo...

A counterexample to ideal closure of property-(s) elements in skew braces

This concise research note gives an explicit counterexample to Colazzo's unrestricted question asking whether the elements with property (s) in a skew left brace form an ideal. On the abelian additive group Z x Z/4Z, a standard semidirect multiplication gives exactly S = Z x {0,1...

Qualia Algebra: A Mathematical Framework for Consciousness, from First Principles to Working Semantics

The measurement problem and the hard problem of consciousness share a structure: each derives the observer last and cannot account for what it finds there. Qualia Algebra (QA) inverts the order. From the one fact that survives total skepticism — I exist — it develops a grammar of...

awesome-stereoscopy: curated resources for stereoscopic 3D

Curated resources for stereoscopic 3D: formats, standards, tools, players, servers, displays, headsets, and 190 years of history, from Wheatstone's 1838 stereoscope to spatial video. Every entry is checked against its source.

Prioritizing Emergency Medical Conditions for Health Policy Using a Stepwise Treatable-Death Framework: A Nationwide Analysis in Korea, 2018–2022

Background/Objectives: Limited emergency-care resources require priorities based not only on mortality rates or death counts but also on the potential mortality reduction under explicit targets. We applied the age- and sex-standardized domestic short- and mid-term components of a...

Privacy-Preserving Diffusion Against Identity Inference Attack via Semantic Destruction Recovery and Segmentation

Facial image generation or generative editing using diffusion models presents risks of identity leakage, potentially enabling unauthorized re-identification in forensic and content moderation applications. Diffusion editing is vulnerable to privacy-preserving facial identity obfu...

Interim Update on Reactive Infectious Mucocutaneous Eruption ( RIME )

ABSTRACT Reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruption (RIME), a term describing blistering skin and mucosal lesions, is a term coined by a group of Pediatric Dermatology Research Alliance (PeDRA) researchers and first published in 2021. Since that time, the literature has grown wit...

Validation of the body acceptance scale for women with breast cancer in a Turkish sample

Abstract Aim This study aimed to adapt the Body Acceptance Scale for Women with Breast Cancer (BAS-BC) into Turkish and evaluate its psychometric properties among Turkish women who had undergone surgery for breast cancer. Methods This methodological and cross-sectional study was...

Schrödinger's USB: A Phenomenological Investigation of Orientation Uncertainty, Observer-Induced Failure, and the Three-Attempt Principle in Universal Serial Bus Connectivity

A satirical methods paper that gives the familiar USB three-try joke a formally specified classical explanation. Under the narrated sequence, a plug fails, is flipped, fails again, and succeeds after returning to its original orientation. The paper proves that a fixed determinist...

Wang's Law of Narrative Production: Endogenous Belief Formation, Capital Allocation, Job Creation, and Social Mobility via Entrepreneurial Narrative Density

This paper proposes Wang's Law of Narrative Production: ceteris paribus, a one-standard-deviation increase in an economy's entrepreneurial narrative dissemination density generates systematic effects on aggregate consumption, employment, and social mobility. We endogenize "entrep...

Determinants of communities’ adoption and practice of soil and water conservation measures in the Jema Watershed, in the highlands of northwestern Ethiopia

Natural resource degradation is a major environmental challenge that threatens ecosystem stability and rural livelihoods, particularly in developing countries such as Ethiopia. Although soil and water conservation (SWC) interventions have been widely promoted, their adoption and...

Hive Polytopes with Arbitrary Integral Right-Hand Sides Have Integral Points Exactly up to Rank 5: A Counterexample to a Conjecture of De Loera and McAllister

Knutson and Tao proved that a nonempty hive polytope has an integral vertex. De Loera and McAllister conjectured that this extends to arbitrary integral right-hand sides: if B and R are the matrices of the boundary equations and of the rhombus inequalities of hive patterns of ran...

A History of Early Childhood Education in China [中国幼儿教育史]

This history of early childhood education in China, beginning in antiquity and closing in 1949, is one of the few works in recent Chinese educational historiography to trace a single subfield acros...

Architectures of Impunity: A Critical Indigenous Feminist Analysis of the Epstein Archive

This article develops a critical Indigenous feminist account of elite sexual violence as structural rather than exceptional, using the Jeffrey Epstein case as a point of departure. The “Epstein archive” refers to the expanding body of legal records, government disclosures, invest...

Narrating the self, imagining the nation: feminine thought in Cristina Trivulzio di Belgiojoso’s political and literary works (1844–1868)

This article re-evaluates the intellectual legacy of Cristina Trivulzio di Belgiojoso (1808–1871), arguing that her extensive literary and political production between 1844 and 1868 constitutes a systematic deconstruction of the nineteenth-century gendered subject. Moving beyond...

Phi-E8 Phase-Locked Coherence Manifold Encodes 5-Fold Metabolic Resonance — E8 Intelligence Research

Extending the 132Hz Fibonacci-phased E8 projection, we identify that the golden ratio (φ) coupling across the 240 root vectors generates a phase-locked coherence manifold whose 5-fold symmetry axis corresponds to the metabolic pentose-phosphate pathway frequency. When the icosahe...
