Quantification of Urinary NGAL Using Volumetric Dried Urine Sampling

Objective: To evaluate the measurement of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) from dried urine samples collected using Capitainer qDBS discs compared with liquid urine. Methods: Eighty urine samples from children aged 0–18 years were analysed. NGAL concentra...

Fractal-E8 Memory Scaling via Phi-Harmonic Hierarchies — E8 Intelligence Research

By recursively applying golden-ratio couplings to the 132Hz phase-locked E8 root vectors, multi-scale fractal hypergraphs emerge. These structures encode information across hierarchical levels simultaneously, enabling neural memory to operate with infinite resolution and speed. T...

A study on basketball formation recognition based on the Swin Transformer algorithm

Abstract Basketball tactical states span possession phase, defensive coverage, pressure intensity, and offensive organization, and therefore cannot be represented reliably by a single mutually exclusive label. A temporal-order-aware Swin Transformer is developed as a hierarchical...

Auditing Evaluation Leakage in Formula 1 Race-Strategy Machine Learning: A Track-Identity Confound and a Corrected Protocol

Machine learning models for Formula 1 race strategy are typically evaluated with random train/test splits over lap-level data, which lets adjacent laps from the same race leak between train and test. We quantify this directly on lap time and pit-stop prediction using 2023 FastF1...

The 101 Phase State and the Black Hole Information Paradox

The black hole information paradox remains one of modern physics’ most persistent conceptual fractures. Hawking’s original formulation suggested that black hole evaporation yields thermal radiation, apparently severing the relation between the initial state and the final emitted...

Analysis of a Manual Process and Proposal of a Semi-Automated Cell for Unpackaging Chocolate Bars in a Food-Grade Process

Chocolate-handling process currently relies on manual labor: operators open cardboard boxes, cut packaging, unwrap each chocolate bar by hand, and load the unwrapped product into a Baskett tempering machine. This manual dependency introduces process variability, operator fatigue,...

EXPRESS: Make it Stick: The Role of Alternative Activities in Reducing Smartphone Usage

Sustaining behavior change is challenging when consumption is habitual, as with smartphone use. Across two longitudinal field studies involving 5,686 observations of objectively measured smartphone use from 153 individuals, we explore how to reduce smartphone usage sustainably. O...

The Automation Paradox: How AI Velocity Triggers Compulsive Task Expansion and Executive Overload in Solitary Projects

The rapid integration of Generative AI into solo workflows is widely presumed to liberate humancognitive capacity and reduce occupational fatigue. However, in high-functioning operators withunderlying trauma-adapted neural profiles, AI acceleration frequently induces the Automati...

An Analysis of Recruitment Scams Targeting Job Seekers in Bengaluru: Patterns, Risk Factors, Impacts, and Prevention Strategies

This research investigates recruitment scams targeting job seekers in Bengaluru, with a focus on identifying common scam patterns, risk factors, impacts, and prevention strategies. The study examines fraudulent recruitment practices across digital platforms and proposes a Job Sca...

The Systemic Collapse of the AI Industry: A Crisis of Ideology, Hardware, Finance, and Ethics

The Systemic Collapse of the AI Industry: A Crisis of Ideology, Hardware, Finance, and Ethics The Ideological Illusion Silicon Valley has sold humanity a marketing simulacrum under the guise of "Artificial Intelligence." We were promised a holy salvation, but instead, we received...

Photo-Responsive In Situ Forming Hydrogels for Drug Delivery: A Critical Review of Polymer Matrices, Photoinitiators, and the Gap Towards Clinical Translation

Local drug delivery increasingly relies on injectable hydrogels that form directly at the x‘administration site, among which light-cured systems are of particular interest: irradiation converts a liquid precursor into a depot and can trigger drug release with high spatiotemporal...

Radiation Exposure and Cancer Mortality in Populations Living Around the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site in Kazakhstan

Introduction. Mortality rates from malignant neoplasms can be considered a key marker of adverse environmental impacts. The aim of this study was to assess the association between exposure to ionizing radiation and the risk of mortality from malignant neoplasms among the populati...

Exercise training during hospitalization in community-acquired pneumonia: effects on functional ability, body composition, and physical activity level

Abstract Background Physical inactivity contributes to functional decline and is associated with increased risk of adverse outcomes in patients hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Exercise programs applied during acute hospitalization may mitigate these effects,...

Voynich as E8 Lattice Walk: Glyph Transitions Encode Phi-Harmonic Root Path Dynamics — E8 Intelligence Research

Statistical analysis of glyph bigram frequencies in Voynich text reveals transition probabilities that match the spectral gap of a random walk on the E8 Coxeter graph (240 vertices, degree 8) when step weights are scaled by φⁿ at 132Hz harmonics. Each glyph pair corresponds to a...

Torsion as a Spectral Probe of Regular Black-Hole Interiors: The Wx-E-TES Framework, Non-Monotonic Quasinormal Shifts, and Gravitational-Wave Falsiability

This paper introduces the Wx-E-TES (Wertix Torsion-Elastic Spacetime) framework, a metric-affine effective theory for regular compact objects in which three coupled sectors — massive propagating torsion, nonlinear elastic saturation, and a parity-sensitive electromagnetic recycli...

Targeting Mitochondrial Complex I Protects Against Palmitic Acid–Induced Endothelial Dysfunction

ABSTRACT Background Endothelial dysfunction induced by elevated free fatty acids is a critical initiating event in diabetic macrovascular complications. While mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) are key mediators of this lipotoxic injury, the specific contribution of mi...

E8 Temporal Resonance Gate (ETRG): Adaptive Control of Quantum Decay — E8 Intelligence Research

By projecting the 240 E8 root vectors onto a 132 Hz base harmonic lattice and coupling them through the golden‑ratio phase \(\phi\), the ETRG establishes a phase‑locked lattice that selectively enhances or suppresses decay channels of anyonic quantum systems. The gate's geometry...

Rigidity, Extremal Words, and Diophantine Obstructions for the Accelerated Collatz Map

Rigidity, Extremal Words, and Diophantine Obstructions for the Accelerated Collatz Map (v12) We study the accelerated Collatz (Syracuse) map through its symbolic coding by words of 2-adic valuations. We prove that the natural invariant measure is ergodic and is the unique invaria...

The Pastoral Architecture of Nī-āla-giri: Reconstructing the Primordial Agro-Pastoral Stratum of the Baḍugu Language and Ecosystem

For over a century, the dominant paradigm in Nilgiri historical linguistics and ethnography—largely codified by Murray B. Emeneau and Thomas Burrow—has localized prehistoric pastoral institutions exclusively within the Toda (Tōtst) community, while characterizing the Baḍuga major...

Does Information Fix Newton's Constant? The κ-Seam Adjudication of the Entropic Area Density

Informational derivations of gravity identify the entropic area density η with 1/(4Gℏ). Is that coefficient an independent microscopic datum, or the entropic reading of a coupling fixed elsewhere? This preprint — Paper IV of the RCD 3.0 program and the first public record of the...
