Examining Industrial Engineering Students’ Perceptions of Course Skills and Knowledge and Alignment with Their Interests

Representations of engineering work in the curriculum influence students’ perceptions of valued skills and knowledge in the field. Industrial engineering attracts a diverse group of students and is well positioned to incorporate longstanding calls for comprehensive skills because...

Wearable Assessment of Dynamic Trunk Sway Reveals Directional Balance Adaptations During Sling-Assisted Walking After Stroke

Background: Quantitative assessment of dynamic balance remains challenging in clinical practice. Wearable inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based technologies offer an objective and accessible approach for monitoring postural control. This study aimed to develop and preliminarily v...

Empathic Logic Autonomous Model: A Cognitive-Interactional Framework to Regulate Anomalies and Build Psychological Safety

As autonomous systems and physical AI agents increasingly operate within highly variable human environments, regulating active inference during unmapped events—situations lacking pre-programmed behavioral templates—remains a critical safety challenge. Current architectures often...

Decoupled Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling Across Soil Particle-Size Fractions in Apple Orchards of the Jiaodong Peninsula, China

The coupled mechanisms governing carbon–nitrogen turnover across soil particle-size fractions remain unclear. This study investigated soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) dynamics across five particle-size fractions in Cambisols under conventional and organic orchard...

EFECT enables reliable and reproducible stochastic simulations across disciplines

Stochastic simulations underpin computational research in fields from systems biology and epidemiology to finance and physics-informed machine learning, yet their reproducibility is hard to quantify because each run yields different outcomes. Existing practices to improve computa...

CB1 receptor-enriched functional connectivity analysis revealed target-specific modulation by cannabidiol in early psychosis

BACKGROUND: Cannabidiol (CBD) has emerged as a potential antipsychotic treatment, acting as a negative allosteric modulator of cannabinoid type-1 (CB1) receptors within the endocannabinoid system. Although previous neuroimaging studies have shown that CBD induces changes in aberr...

More Than Meets the Eye: A Qualitative Exploration of the Experience of Remission in Chronic Skin Disease

This study explores the lived experience of remission in chronic skin disease (CSD), a clinically significant but underexamined phase of the chronic relapse–remission cycle. Although the psychological burden of active CSD is well established, far less is known about how individua...

From Residue Dynamics to Arithmetic Fibers: The Pronic Structure of A392243 and Its Elliptic Sister Fiber

This paper develops the exact arithmetic structure behind a modulo-threshold pseudo-Recamán recurrence and the signed square-block sequence OEIS A392243. At the critical threshold, the canonical orbit is proved to be the absolute value of the signed sum, with an exact folded pron...

Seismic behaviour of precast BFRP-reinforced concrete beam–column joints in sea-sand concrete

To investigate the seismic behaviour of precast seawater sea-sand concrete beam–column joints with basalt-fibre-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars, four specimens were tested, including cast-in-situ (CiS) and precast interior/exterior joints. All specimens failed in flexure at beam e...

One‐Year Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation Treatment Persistence in Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction: Clinical and Urodynamic Associated Factors in a Prospective Observational Study

AIMS: To assess 1-year Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TTNS) treatment persistence in routine clinical care and to explore clinical and urodynamic factors associated with treatment persistence in patients with lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD). METHODS: A prospectiv...

Network Optimization for Dynamic Spectrum Allocation in Rural Cognitive Radio Networks Using Adaptive Genetic Algorithms in Television White Space Band.

Abstract: The extension of reliable broadband into rural environments and an undertaking fundamentally limited by the severe free-space path loss of high-frequency architectures are requirements to close the identified digital divide in the globe. An optimized Dynamic Spectrum Al...

Letter Regarding the “Wrist-Ankle Acupuncture on Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting Prophylaxis in High-Risk Female Patients: A Pragmatic, Randomized, Single-Blind, Sham-Controlled Trial”

To the Editor,We read with great interest the article by Yu et al. [1] evaluating the efficacy of wrist-ankle acupuncture (WAA) for preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in high-risk ...

The symbolic power of decriminalization and recriminalization in shaping stigma toward people who use drugs in British Columbia

In January 2023, British Columbia (BC) implemented a three-year decriminalization pilot to reduce harms of drug criminalization and address stigma toward people who use drugs. In May 2024, the policy was amended to “recriminalize” drug possession, a reform that excluded most publ...

Oligogenic inheritance in epilepsy: A systematic exome‐wide analysis

Abstract Objective Genetic factors contribute to the majority of epilepsies, but the exact genetic cause remains unknown in most patients. Incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity are frequent, and recent studies showed a burden of deleterious variants in epilepsy genes, s...

Targeted Restoration of Mitophagy Reinvigorates Aged Hematopoietic Stem Cells

Aims: Aging-related functional decline in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is closely associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired mitophagy. This study aimed to investigate whether targeted restoration of mitophagy via the myeloid cell leukemia 1 (MCL-1)/light chain 3A...

k-flip theory: A theory of everything based on the unstoppable point.

The k-Flip Theory proposes a radical reconstruction of fundamental physics. Instead of treating space as a static background and time as a continuous flow, this theory builds the universe from a single primitive action: the "flip" (the transfer of an unsettled record within a dis...
