A data-driven modeling of public acceptance for fusion energy: analyzing public perceptions through future-centric empirical segmenting framework

Abstract As fusion energy approaches commercial viability, establishing strong public acceptance has become as critical as achieving technical success. This study develops a data-driven framework to analyze public perception of fusion technology, complementing traditional surveys...

Real-World Effectiveness of Secukinumab in Congenital Ichthyoses: A Retrospective Monocentric Case Series

Background/Objectives: Congenital ichthyoses (CI) are inherited disorders of keratinization characterized by epidermal barrier dysfunction, abnormal desquamation, and variable degrees of inflammation. Increasing evidence suggests a role for IL-23/Th17-mediated immune dysregulatio...

Caution ahead: virtual cues for safer wayfinding

Abstract Mobile phones and other smart displays, such as in-car entertainment units, are widely used to display and dictate navigation routes. These navigation systems offer alerts about road closures, construction zones, and traffic conditions. However, these navigation applicat...

Integrated single-cell transcriptomic, proteomic, and tissue-level analysis defines cancer-associated fibroblast programs in pseudomyxoma peritonei

Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is an ultra-rare mucinous neoplasm with extensive stromal remodeling, yet the role of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) remains poorly defined. A PMP-derived CAF culture was established and characterized through multiple omics and phenotypic assays...

A novel single‐suture cesarean uterine closure technique to prevent bleeding, resuturing and isthmocele: A three‐year follow‐up retrospective matched cohort study

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to (i) describe a new single layer continuous unlocked uterine incision closure technique during cesarean delivery (Yilmaz technique) and (ii) compare it with the commonly used single layer continuous locked suture technique regarding isthmoce...

What’s unfair about resultant moral luck?

Abstract A popular reason for denying resultant moral luck has to do with its alleged unfairness. In this paper, I argue that although two existing objections against the unfairness argument are unsuccessful, it ultimately fails. First, I criticize the objection that the unfairne...

LCA of Bioethanol: Feedstock Options and Processing Pathways

In this article, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was applied to investigate the potential environmental impacts of bioethanol production pathways from six biomass feedstock options. The LCA cradle-to-gate modelling case studies involve (i) corn stover, (ii) wheat straw, (iii) rice st...

From Fold to Consciousness

From Fold to Consciousness, version 1.2.0, integrates the newly admitted Smithian Fold Theory Foundation result that the structural One is pure consciousness: complete undivided presentation before observer, observed, content, succession, report or substrate differentiate. The up...

Surgical Risk and Patient-Reported Outcomes in 3- and 4-Level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion: A Comparative Study

Introduction: The existing literature on anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) predominantly focuses on 1- and 2-level procedures, leaving limited data comparing outcomes of 3- versus 4-level standalone ACDFs. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare surgical outcomes...

Part V From Selective Development to Organizational Negotiating Capacity: From Internal Negotiation in the Human System to Resource-Based Negotiating Asymmetry in Organizations

Part IV of this research program examined how uneven development across functional domains within the human system may produce differences in the capacity of those domains to contribute to internal negotiation during execution. Part V asks whether a structurally similar relations...

Basic Psychological Needs, Motivation, and Physical Self-Concept Among Preadolescents in Extracurricular Sports

This study examines the extent to which participation in extracurricular sport activities (ESA) satisfies basic psychological needs (BPN) and the type of motivation generated in pre-adolescents (aged 9–12). A quantitative, cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted wit...

USF x HTB Writeups for "Jinja journal" and "Dancing Files"

These writeups are for the USF x HTB CTF completed in Spring 2025. These are being published for anyone looking to walktrhough the machines after the fact and to shine light on my own technical ability. Despite this being a team competion, neither of my teamates were able to comp...

Golden Ratio φ Governs Symmetry Breaking in Frustrated Icosahedral Quasicrystals — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Spontaneous symmetry breaking in frustrated icosahedral quasicrystals selects order parameter components governed by golden ratio φ, linking Higgs mechanism to quasicrystalline topological order. | MATH: φ = (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.618; φ⁻¹ = φ-1 ≈ 0.618; φ² = φ+1 ≈ 2.618; icosahed...

The Galois Norm as a Discrete Minkowski Metric: Golden Units as Boosts (Research Note 11)

Research Note 11 of the INDYNA program. This note connects the Galois structure of conjugate-shell operators with Minkowski-type lattice embeddings: the two Galois embeddings of ℚ(√5) place each shell datum and its conjugate side by side, and the geometry of this embedding organi...

An intelligent reflecting surface–assisted semantic communication architecture for 6G networks with hippopotamus–differential evolution optimized resource allocation

A persistent obstacle in sixth-generation (6G) wireless systems is the simultaneous demand for extreme spectral efficiency and ultra-reliable low-latency delivery under constrained energy budgets. To address this obstacle, an integrated architecture is proposed in which intellige...

Paleomagnetic Reconstruction of the Early Triassic Paleogeographic Position of the South Yellow Sea and Its Geological Significance

Most studies on the Early Triassic paleomagnetism of the Yangtze Block (YB) have concentrated on the Western to Middle parts, but the South Yellow Sea (SYS) in the Eastern YB (EYB) is relatively lacking. To ascertain the paleogeographic position of the SYS, we isolated the charac...

Effects of Common Cooking Methods on Total Mercury and Methylmercury in Sardines and Sprats

The effects of household cooking on mercury speciation in whole small pelagic fish remain insufficiently understood. To address this gap, total mercury (T-Hg), methylmercury (MeHg), and Hg(II) were determined in wet whole-fish homogenates, including viscera, of sardines and sprat...

Surgeon Characteristics Associated With Average CPT ® 31237 Utilization per Medicare Beneficiary

Background A retrospective cohort study of 69,170 patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery between 2015 and 2022 found that 38.7% of the variation in the number of postoperative debridements was explained at the surgeon level. The extent to which postoperative debridements...

Behind the mask of narcissistic leadership: uncovering the mechanisms of knowledge sabotage among subordinates

Purpose This study aims to examine how narcissistic leadership motivates employees to engage in knowledge sabotage through perceived competitiveness and knowledge-based psychological ownership (KBPO). Design/methodology/approach A three-wave, time-lagged survey collected data fro...

Topological Baryogenesis and Axion Synchronization: A Unified Framework from Quantum Geometry

A framework is proposed for cosmological baryogenesis driven by non-perturbative topological fluctuations (quantum surgery of 1-handles) in the early Universe at the Planck epoch. Relying on the Ashtekar-Lewandowski measure and quantum geometry foam dynamics, it is shown that the...
