Leg Autotomy and Regeneration in Crab Spiders Ebrechtella tricuspidata (Araneae: Thomisidae)
Arachnids evade predation by intentionally sacrificing body parts, with leg autotomy playing a crucial role in their survival and reproductive strategies. Our study primarily employed field surveys and laboratory experiments to examine the frequency of autotomy and its effects on...

ECL₃^Q as an Instance of a General Logical Framework: Preliminary Results
This note reports preliminary results from an ongoing effort to place ECL₃^Q — a three-valued epistemic causal logic with an ontological (not epistemic) third value U, developed independently in Paper I — inside a more general classificatory framework for many-valued and non-clas...

Bridging Gaps in Menstrual Health: A Review on Specially-Abled Adolescent Girls
Menstrual health and hygiene (MHH) is a most important but under-researched aspect of adolescent health, particularly in girls with physical and mental disabilities. These girls have secondary social, cultural and structural hindrances. Menstrual health among Indians is influence...

The Golden Arc Program: Story as a Committed Wave
This paper states, in brief, a research program developed across three companion papers. The model: narrative is a signed waveform of dramatic charge whose decisive structural point is not the climax but the fold, the moment the space of possible endings closes, and one recursive...

Affordable and Clean Energy: CO 2 Emissions, Resilience and Inequality
ABSTRACT Sustainable development means building the resilience of both people and the planet. It includes implementing strategies which reduce emissions while also enabling more vulnerable households to transition to clean and affordable energy. This paper examines household CO 2...

Topographic and Climatic Determinants of Soil Organic Carbon Across Landscapes: A Meta‐Analysis
ABSTRACT The soil is the greatest natural store of organic carbon, holding between 1500 to 1550 Pg C of organic carbon at the top 100 cm of the soil globally—roughly twice the carbon pool in the atmosphere. The spatial distribution of this stock is controlled by a complex chain o...

Measurement and comparative analysis of owner-occupied housing services in China
Purpose This paper aims to address the historical underestimation of China’s owner-occupied housing services (OOHS) scale and the 2024 accounting reform by the China’s National Bureau of Statistics – which adopted the market rent approach for urban areas but did not revise histor...

Epicardial Fat Thickness and Nighttime Systolic Blood Pressure Variability in Healthy Young Adults
Abstract Background We recognise epicardial fat thickness (EFT) as a biomarker for cardiometabolic risk and blood pressure variability (BPV) as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity. While studies link them in hypertensive patients, data for healthy young adults...

Inverse Design of Programmable Mechanical Metamaterials via Explainable Graph Neural Model
ABSTRACT The rational design of metamaterials enables anomalous physical properties, yet achieving target performance remains challenging in ultra‐large optimization spaces. Herein, we propose an intelligent design framework for programmable mechanical metamaterials based on grap...
