OVT-Domain Azimuthal Traveltime-Constrained AVO Inversion Method

Azimuthal traveltime analysis provides comparatively stable fracture-orientation estimates but limited information on fracture-related elastic changes, whereas amplitude variation with offset (AVO) inversion is sensitive to residual azimuthal moveout. We propose a sequential offs...

Systematic ConditionsOptimization of Kilometer-ScaleAramid Fiber with High Tensile Strength via Microfluidic Spinning

Abstract Poly(p-phenylene benzimidazole-benzamide) (PBIA) fiber, with superior mechanical properties, has become a promising chemically synthesized high-performance aramid fiber. The crystallization and orientation behaviors of PBIA fiber critically determine its comprehensive pr...

Real-time anomaly detection in distributed manufacturing: a high-resolution statistical SCADA framework

Abstract Real-time anomaly detection in distributed manufacturing environments often relies on rigid timeout thresholds that may fail to identify missing workpieces or abnormal mechanical behavior until a critical failure occurs. This study presents a high-resolution, statistics-...

Prevalence and antimicrobial resistance patterns of Escherichia coli O157:H7 isolated from cattle faeces, beef, and human diarrheic cases in Sebeta, Ethiopia

Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an important zoonotic foodborne pathogen that can be transmitted to humans through multiple routes, including the consumption of contaminated raw or undercooked meat. Infection may result in severe clinical outcomes, including hemorrhagic colitis, hemo...

AHCMM-Net-NGO: A Progressive Hybrid CNN–Mamba Framework with Adaptive Attention Refinement for Robust License Plate Recognition

Automatic License Plate Recognition (LPR) is an essential technology in modern intelligent transportation systems, facilitating the identification of vehicles without manual intervention. It supports a wide range of applications, including traffic monitoring, electronic toll paym...

School District Financial Debt Through the Lens of Critical School Finance

Abstract This article applies Critical School Finance theory to analyze the $543.9 billion in U.S. school district debt as a mechanism of racialized wealth extraction. Using the framework’s five core concepts—dispossession, kleptocracy, extraction/super-expropriation, racial capi...

Communicating Development Through Electoral Manifestos: A Comparative Analysis of NDC and NPP Campaign Texts in Ghana, 2008–2024

Political party manifestos are important instruments through which competing visions of development are communicated and democratic legitimacy is negotiated. This article examines presidential election manifestos of Ghana’s National Democratic Congress (NDC) and New Patriotic Par...

Woody species diversity, management and its importance in agroforestry practice in North-western Ethiopia

Abstract Agroforestry, integrating crops, trees, and livestock, is an important land-use practice, yet it remains poorly documented in Ethiopia’s Quara district. This study assessed the diversity, management, and importance of woody species in the highlands of Quara. Data were co...

Association of Accelerated Biological Age in Midlife with Cardiovascular Events, Dementia, and All-Cause Mortality in the Framingham Offspring Study

Accelerated biological age (ABA) better capture the aging process than chronological age (CA) and has been linked to adverse health outcomes, but long-term associations remain unclear. We modeled ABA using anthropometric and biochemical biomarkers across three examination cycles...

Environmental associations and spatial segregation among coexisting Pogonomyrmex harvester ant species in the central Monte desert (Argentina)

Abstract Background Ant communities are widely considered to be structured by interspecific competition. Seed-harvesting ants are dominant granivores in drylands, and their colony locations influence their spatio-temporal effect on plant communities. Three closely related species...

Biodegradable 3D‐Printed Elastic Scaffolds With Bioactivity and Electro‐Mechanical Coupling Promote Neuro‐Vascularization for Critical‐Size Bone Defect Regeneration

ABSTRACT The intrinsic electrophysiological properties of native bone tissue promote bone healing, highlighting the significant role of piezoelectric biomaterials in neuro‐vascularized bone regeneration. However, challenges remain with existing piezoelectric biomaterials regardin...

Mechanism-Guided Spray Deposition of Rutile TiO2/Epoxy/ODTMS Superhydrophobic Coatings for Weather-Resistant Bamboo Sand Barriers

Bamboo is a renewable and mechanically robust bio-based material with potential for sand-barrier construction; however, its long-term outdoor use is limited by ultraviolet-induced photoaging, moisture uptake, wind-sand abrasion, and biological colonization. In this study, a fluor...

Inaccuracy of self-reported migraine: insights from 601 paired assessments from a single-centre study in Australia

Both clinical and research settings may rely on accurate self-diagnosis of migraine for medical triage, population-based surveys or epidemiological studies. Unfortunately, accessing neurologists for diagnosis may be cost-prohibitive, delayed due to workforce shortages or impracti...

AFS is ONE Society

I would like to start by saying how honored I am to be your AFS President. I hope to weave together several themes from my plan of work in this space over the next year, primarily focused on highlighting the American Fisheries Society (AFS) as ONE SOCIETY. I have spent the past 3...

The Social Function of Property and Real Estate Abandonment: Between Property Law and Environmental Protection

Abstract This article explores the relationship between the social function of property and the abandonment of real estate, arguing that factual abandonment may amount to a form of ‘negligent non-use’ of property. Although the social function of property is both an external limit...

A proposed E 8 × E 8 kinematic scaffolding for the standard model with pre-gravitation

Abstract We present a proposed E 8 × E 8 kinematic scaffolding for the standard model with pre-gravitation. The notation E 8 × ωE 8 used below records a split-complex exchange grading of two factors; it is not a tensor product of groups. Each factor branches through SU (3) × E 6...

Evaluating the costs of developing a digital supervision tool for task-shared depression care: findings from a multi-site study in India

BACKGROUND: Task-sharing with non-specialist providers offers a promising solution to the mental health workforce shortage in low-resource settings. Supervision is essential to ensure treatment quality, but is often constrained by limited specialist availability. AIMS: This study...

Analysis of barriers to self-monitoring of blood glucose among community-dwelling elderly patients with diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional study integrating artificial intelligence-based risk prediction

Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is essential for diabetes management, yet elderly patients face multiple barriers that compromise adherence and glycaemic control. This study aimed to assess barriers to SMBG among community-dwelling elderly patients with diabetes mellitus,...

Remission of long-term conditions among adults with multiple long-term conditions in England primary care: A retrospective cohort study of 4.7 million people

Abstract Background Multiple long-term conditions (MLTC) are increasingly prevalent among UK adults, yet the extent to which remission of long-term conditions is recorded in routine primary care remains poorly understood. Accurate documentation of remission has implications for c...

“What Should I Do?” 10 Steps to Making an Ethical Decision as a Coach or Athletic Director
