A comparative analysis of topic modelling techniques for the thematic analysis of student feedback
This study seeks best practices for when and how to apply short text topic modelling (STTM) techniques using natural language processing to semi-structured data collected as part of education research in order to provide accurate guidance for interventions and avoid misguided imp...

Dynamic Scaling Pollard’s P-1 Algorithm
The integer factorization problem is a hard problem in classical. Let N=PQ, where P and Q are large primes. Pollard’s P-1 Algorithm is an efficient integer factorization algorithm while all the prime factors of P−1 are small. However, the previous variants of Pollard’s P-1 algori...

Quantum approximate optimization algorithm with fixed number of parameters
We introduce a novel quantum optimization paradigm: the Fixed-Parameter-Count Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (FPC-QAOA). It is a scalable variational framework that maintains a constant number of trainable parameters regardless of the number of qubits, Hamiltonian com...

Non-specialist primary school mathematics teachers’ beliefs
Abstract This paper reports on a qualitative exploratory case study of four out-of-field primary school mathematics teachers in rural South Africa. The focus is on their subject knowledge and didactical expertise as aspects of their teacher identity through the lens of their beli...

Alternating Transmission Protocol: Receiver-Dependent Allocation of Rapid and Recurrent Processing
# Provider Description A nervous system cannot allocate the same amount of return processing to every event. Some actions can proceed from recent evidence; some require earlier context, correction, or recurrent stabilization; and some uncertainties cannot be repaired by more comp...

Modeling reptile virus infection in vitro using Python regius airway organoids
Abstract Zoonoses pose substantial global health risks, highlighting the need to better understand animal-to-human transmission. Reptiles are increasingly recognized as hosts of diverse pathogens, including numerous viruses, yet the diversity and prevalence of reptile pathogens,...
