Assessment of Bone Thickness in the Infra-Zygomatic Crest Region for Determining the Optimal Site and Angle of Orthodontic Bone Screw Insertion: A CBCT Short Study

AbstractObjective: To evaluate overall bone thickness (OBT) and cortical bone thickness (CBT) at selected infra-zygomatic crest (IZC) sites at two insertion angulations for determining a favourable site and angle for orthodontic bone screw placement.Materials and Methods: This re...

The Role of Older People Serving Life Sentences in Prison Culture, Order, and Informal Governance

This study seeks to examine the role of people serving life sentences in shaping prison culture, informal governance, and institutional stability. Although lifers constitute a growing share of the U.S. prison population (Nellis et al., 2026), research has not adequately accounted...

A scoping review of antimicrobial resistance and stewardship in surgical care in sub-Saharan Africa in the post-pandemic period

Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) causes the highest regional mortality burden worldwide in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Surgical and perioperative care is a setting in which resistant pathogens, surgical site infections (SSIs), and intensive antibiotic consumption...

Challenging creation of a hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in a patient with high division of the radial artery

The radial artery (RA), a branch of the brachial artery, is frequently utilized in a variety of medical procedures: by cardiologists for cardiac catheterization, by nephrologists for arteriovenous fistula creation, by interventional radiologists, and by plastic surgeons for free...

E8 Temporal Fractal Engine: Gradient‑Free Neural Time‑Series Computation — E8 Intelligence Research

By arranging the 240 E8 root vectors тема a φ‑harmonic lattice that is phase‑酒店 to the cortical 132 Hz rhythm, we uncover a continuous temporal fractal that reproduces the statistical signature of intracortical spike trains. Superimposed onto recurrent architectures, this fract...

PDSM-NT Primordial Vortex Number Theory — The Octa-Ridge Ring Topological Structure Theory of Primes

Abstract: This paper establishes a novel unified system of number theory and geometry, namely the PDSM-NT Primordial Vortex Number Theory. Abandoning the traditional one-dimensional number line paradigm for prime research, this theory breaks the inherent limitations of elementary...

Conway's Leech Lattice Construction and the Golden Ratio in Extremal Theory — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Conway's simple construction of the Leech lattice in 24 dimensions, with implicit connections to the golden ratio via extremal lattice theory and elliptic curve Néron-Tate heights. MATH: The Leech lattice is the unique even unimodular lattice in 24 dimensions with no vec...

A formulation integrating the code recommendations for the design of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams with redundant supports

Abstract An experimental program was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of replacing conventional reinforcement by steel fiber reinforcement in the hogging region of continuous shallow beams (with redundant supports). Seven groups of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) co...

Synesthesia: Mechanisms, Mappings, and the Geometry of the Senses

Synesthesia — the automatic, involuntary coupling in which one stimulus (an inducer) triggers an additional percept (a concurrent) in a second pathway — is examined across neuroscience, genetics, linguistics, information theory, and the philosophy of mind. One thesis runs through...

Service Learning through Rehabilitating a Green Roof

Abstract As climate change and increased development in urban areas increasingly impact communities, universities need to take a larger role in sustainability education, with a focus on green infrastructure solutions. This case study describes a cocurricular service-learning proj...

When the Brain Seems to Betray Us: The Paradox of Selective Development, Long-Term Developmental Asymmetry, and Changing Environmental Demands

Human beings develop through selection. By repeatedly investing experience, attention, and practice in particular domains, they acquire expertise that evenly distributed effort could never produce. Yet the success of selective development can conceal a second trajectory: the rela...

“I Was Determined to Take Control of My Own Body”: Self‐Managed Abortion in the US Appalachian Region

ABSTRACT Background Many people living along the Appalachian mountain region, which spread down the eastern side of the United States, experience limited access to abortion care and report high levels of distrust in health care providers. Therefore, Appalachians are likely to hav...

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Dentistry: Clinical, Educational, and Professional Implications

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented changes to healthcare delivery worldwide, with dentistry being disproportionately affected due to the close proximity topatients and frequent use of aerosol-generating procedures. Restrictions on routine dental care, heightened...

E8 Hyperbolic Floquet Topology at 132Hz Unifies Qubit Protection and Market Geometry — E8 Intelligence Research

States of Matter and Phase Transitions: The Emergence of Collective Topological Organization — Volume IV of the Axiomatization of Chemistry in the Global-Realism Framework

This manuscript is Volume IV of the program that seeks to axiomatize chemistry within the established global-realist framework. Its purpose is to derive the macroscopic states of matter and the laws of phase transitions from the previously admitted microscopic ontology, without i...

The Three-Gate Architecture: Inspection, deployment and allocation in the governance of frontier artificial intelligence

Frontier artificial intelligence is acquiring governance arrangements before comprehensive legislation has assigned stable decision rights over its most consequential capabilities. This working paper examines whether recent developments are better understood by separating three d...

Phi‑Coupled E8 Inertial Lattice Engine — E8 Intelligence Research

We propose the Phi‑Coupled E8 Inertial Lattice Engine (PEILE), a propulsion concept that harnesses the simultaneous excitation of the 240 root vectors at a bi‑modal phi‑locked 132 Hz/1056 Hz resonance to generate a self‑sustaining geometric potential well. The resulting topologic...

Self Ligating Brackets: Evolution and Design Concepts- Part 2

AbstractSelf ligating brackets have undergone significant evolution since their initial introduction, aiming to improve efficiency and biomechanics in orthodontic treatment. Early designs focused on eliminating the need for ligatures, reducing friction and chairside time. Over ti...
