The regional determinants of per-capita CO$$_2$$ emissions growth in Europe
Abstract We identify empirically the determinants of per-capita CO $$_2$$ emissions growth in 227 European NUTS-2 regions for the period 1995–2022. In order to account for geographical spillovers of unknown form, we employ Bayesian averaging of spatial autoregressive models, addr...

AN EXACT RATIONAL COUNTEREXAMPLE TO ERDŐS'S SQUARE-PACKING CONJECTURE f(k²+1)=k (PROBLEM #106)
This preprint gives an explicit exact rational counterexample to Erdős's square-packing conjecture f(k²+1)=k, catalogued as Erdős Problem #106. The primary-source formulation of Erdős and Graham (1975) uses total circumference instead: if F_EG(n) is the maximum total circumferenc...

The Curvature Relaxation Model: A Four-Paper Program for Geometric Cosmology Without the Dark Sector
A four-paper series presenting the Curvature Relaxation Model (CRM), a geometric framework that derives dark-matter phenomenology from scalar-curvature dynamics without postulating new particles. CORE-PAPERS Paper I: Game-Theoretic Foundation — Establishes the CRM through thermod...

Resonant Geometric Confinement in a Finite-Approximation Kakeya Fractal
This manuscript presents a theoretical framework for a charged particle confinement mechanism based on a finite-iteration approximation of the Kakeya (Besicovitch) fractal. The core proposal is that a particle guided along the discrete slides and pivots of the Perron tree—under a...

Volunteering and resilience in wartime: evidence from two population-based studies in Israel
Abstract Background Resilience is a key factor in coping with and recovering from large-scale traumatic events. Although volunteering has generally been associated with improving or maintaining resilience, evidence from wartime contexts is mixed. This study examined the associati...

Cognitive reappraisal changes cognitive evaluations of images more strongly than affective reactions
Abstract Cognitive reappraisal is an emotion regulation strategy that involves changing one’s interpretation of a situation to change its emotional impact. Cognitive reappraisal studies typically assess changes in valence ratings following reappraisal as the primary dependent var...
