Efficiency of Iron Mobilization and Transport Determines Tolerance to Iron Deficiency in Citrus Rootstocks

Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the responses of seven citrus rootstocks, including five new genotypes (US942, US802, B11R3T27, B11R5T64, and B11R5T36) and two references (Cleopatra mandarin, tolerant; Carrizo citrange, sensitive), to iron (Fe) deficiency induced by carbonate (CaCO...

NanomagnetitePromotes Sub-Thermophilic AnaerobicDigestion by Enhancing Electron Transfer and Electron Bifurcation

Abstract Subthermophilic anaerobic digestion accelerates hydrolytic acidification to boost methane production, yet this temperature range can suppress methanogenic activity, thereby leading to a kinetic mismatch between rapid substrate influx and limited methanogenic conversion....

A Bibliometric Analysis of Global Research Trends on Companion Animals and Mental Health: Revealing Research Hotspots and Future Prospects

Companion animals have increasingly become central to human emotional life, yet the literature linking living with companion animals, human–animal interaction, and mental health remains fragmented. This study mapped global research trends on companion animals and mental health fr...

Targeted transcriptome profiling of oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma and histologic grade-associated gene expression patterns

Aims To characterise gene expression differences between oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and non-neoplastic oral mucosa using targeted transcriptome profiling and to evaluate gene expression patterns associated with tumour differentiation. Methods Formalin-fixed, paraf...

The Observational Incompleteness Framework

The Observational Incompleteness Framework is an AI-based research programme deriving quantum-mechanical structure from the premise that observation is a proper subsystem of a deterministic whole. The archive contains three kinds of content: Technical papers (papers/) — the autho...

The Geometric Quantum as a Universal Generator of Hierarchies: Δ-Ontology, the Principle of Energy Economy, and the Dissolution of Fundamental Paradoxes

We show that the right isosceles triangle with legs 1 and hypotenuse √2 — the infinium 𝕴 = △₁ₓ₁ — is the minimal structural quantum generating all of mathematics through a single mechanism: the diagonal hierarchical transition governed by the principle of energy economy. Gödel's...

Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction After High-dose Intravenous Immunoglobulin in a Patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Intravenous immunoglobulin is frequently used in the treatment of autoimmune and hematologic disorders. While generally well tolerated, intravenous immunoglobulin administration can rarely precipitate serious cardiovascular events, including acute coronary syndrome, particularly...

Cracking the code of the attractiveness of public service jobs: work values through the lens of demographic diversity

Purpose Since representative bureaucracy is a difficult goal to achieve, it is worth exploring how to attract different target groups within public organizations. The main purpose of this article is to examine whether work values mediate the relationship between demographic diver...

Groundwater Circulation Well Test for Synergistic Remediation of a Heterogeneous Site: Extraction, Tracing and Oxidation

Field tests were conducted at a heterogeneous industrial site using one circulation well and six monitoring wells. Groundwater circulation well (GCW) extraction–injection (30 d), multi-component tracing (6 h), and circulation–oxidation (20 h) tests were performed to investigate t...

Safer sex self-efficacy and condom use among adolescents: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Inconsistent condom use puts adolescents at risk for HIV/STIs and unintended pregnancy. A recent meta-analysis identified safer sex self-efficacy as one of the strongest correlates of U.S. adolescent condom use ( r avg = .22), but with significant heterogeneity in effect sizes. T...

Improving Local Climate Zone Mapping at Fine Spatial Scales Using Urban Morphology, Spectral Information, and Machine Learning

Local climate zones (LCZs) provide a robust framework for understanding Urban Heat Island dynamics and for supporting climate-sensitive urban planning. Although widely adopted since their introduction in 2012, LCZ mapping remains constrained by urban morphology description and sp...

Pressure broadening of the 3–0 overtone band of CO by neon and nitrogen

Line shapes in the second overtone band of carbon monoxide broadened by neon and nitrogen have been determined at room temperature by diode laser absorption spectroscopy. Measurements were made across the P branch from P(1) to P(24). Quadratic speed-dependent Voigt line shape par...

Gyroporus binkatensis and Cyanoboletus sulcatipes , Two New Boletes From District Swat, Pakistan, Based on Morphological and Molecular Phylogenetic Analysis

Two novel boletes, Gyroporus binkatensis and Cyanoboletus sulcatipes , are described from District Swat, Pakistan, based on detailed macro‐ and micromorphological observations and phylogenetic analysis derived from Oxford Nanopore sequencing. G. binkatensis is characterized by an...

Agent Behavioral Contracts II: Certifying Compositional Reliability Without Assuming Independence

The Agent Behavioral Contracts (ABC) framework certifies a composed AI-agent pipeline's reliability by a compositional lower bound valid under five conditions, the last of which (C5) is independence of stage failures. This paper asks what a compositional certificate can promise w...

Refined Theoretical Models for Predicting Chain-Direction Thermal Conductivity in Crystalline Polymers

Abstract Thermal conductivity (κ) is a pivotal physical property governing the performance of crystalline polymers in advanced technologies ranging from thermoelectrics to electronic thermal management. However, low-cost and rapid prediction of κ remains challenging due to the st...

NiO nanoparticles for enhanced thermal stability and filtration control in HPHT water-based drilling fluids

High-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) wells present significant challenges for conventional water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs), including thermal degradation of additives, excessive fluid loss into formations, rheological instability, poor cuttings suspension, and weak, permeabl...

Nitrite and nitrate in commercial fermented foods sold in Malaysia

Fermented foods are widely consumed for their sensory qualities, cultural importance and probiotic benefits, yet market-level data on nitrite and nitrate across different fermented food categories in Malaysia remain limited. This study provides a surveillance-based assessment of...

Mexico’s First Heart Transplant in a Patient with Becker Muscular Dystrophy Reveals an Overlooked Cause of Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Background: Pathogenic variants in the DMD gene are a frequently overlooked cause of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in idiopathic cases, especially when skeletal myopathy is mild or seemingly absent. Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) and X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy are at opposit...

Three != Two: A Complete Balanced Ternary Software Stack. maniTC and thatteOS — Language, Dual-Target Compiler, and Microkernel

A complete software stack built for balanced ternary from first principles rather than ported to it: ManiT, a statically typed systems language with trit-native primitive types; maniTC, a compiler lowering through a balanced-ternary SSA intermediate representation to two independ...

Pharmacogenomics and Opioid Efficacy in Sickle Cell Disease: Is the Field Ready for Precision Prescribing?

Pain is a leading cause of morbidity and healthcare utilization in sickle cell disease (SCD), and opioids remain central to treating vaso-occlusive and chronic pain. Yet opioid response varies widely, raising the question of whether pharmacogenetic testing should inform opioid pr...
