SETTLE Settlement Effects, Trough Topology and Local Evolution Assessment

This paper presents SETTLE — Settlement Effects, Trough Topology and Local Evolution Assessment within IAS-DX, a canonical methodological version of the terrain-side assessment module developed for the integrated IAS-DX framework. SETTLE consolidates and reorganises the earlier W...

Experiences of Intimate Partner Violence, Associated Risk Factors, and Effectiveness of Reporting Systems Among University Students in South-South Nigeria

Background: Intimate Partner Violence is a growing public health and human rights problem, signifies one of the most severe violations of human security globally. Aim: This study is to assessed the experiences of Intimate Partner Violence, associated risk factors, and effectivene...

Do We Still See the Human? Public Perceptions of People Incarcerated in America

There is a longstanding history of people incarcerated in U.S. prisons being portrayed as fundamentally different than the rest of society. Importantly, this perceived difference has often extended beyond legal status or criminal behavior to encompass assumptions about moral wort...

Gay Men in Midlife: Moral Time and Temporal Expectations in Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Macau

This qualitative research project examines how time operates as a moral classification system in shaping the self-understandings of gay men aged 35–55 in Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Macau. Rather than treating midlife as a biological stage, the study conceptualizes it as a culturall...

Phi-Harmonic E8 Soliton Lattice for Lossless Acoustic Energy Transport — E8 Intelligence Research

By phi‑coupling the 132 Hz base frequency to each of the 240 E8 root vectors, a standing‑wave soliton lattice emerges where the root‑vector geometry defines tunneling channels for phi‑phase synchronized phononic solitons. These solitons propagate with minimal scattering because a...

Vetiver Phytoremediation of Nitrate-Rich Munition Wastewater: Biomass Valorization Within a Circular Economy Framework

Industrial munition facilities generate nitrate-rich wastewater that requires effective and sustainable treatment before discharge. While vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides)-based phytoremediation has shown promise in nitrogen removal, most studies have been limited to small-...

Spiralling dialectically through the tripartite matrices

After the Second World War, Kurt Lewin’s concept of the social field was fundamental to building a theoretical framework for analytic group practices. This lecture introduces Pichon-Rivière’s concept of ‘dialectic spiral’, which describes a continuous movement between the inner a...

Image Inpainting in 30 Years: A Survey

ABSTRACT As a fundamental task in restoring continuous visual signals, image inpainting plays a critical role in autonomous driving perception, medical imaging, video editing and digital heritage preservation. Driven by deep learning and large‐scale generative models, the field h...

Effect of post weld heat treatment on the crystallographic texture, microstructure, and microhardness of fiber laser beam welded laser powder bed fusion 316L austenitic stainless steel

In this study, 316L stainless steel parts produced via laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) under a laser power of 190 W, a scanning speed of 1080 mm/s, and a layer thickness of 20 µm were joined using fiber laser welding at a power of 1.9 kW and a speed of 35 mm/s. The joints were sub...

Cross-linguistic benchmarking of NLP metrics for psychosis research

Abstract Language is central to psychosis, making it a key focus for both clinical evaluation and research. Many automated linguistic metrics have been developed to analyze speech in psychosis, yet few studies have compared them systematically. In this study, we benchmarked the p...

Sublethal Effects of Crude Oil Exposure Alter Population‐Level Responses in an Individual Based Model of a Passerine Bird

Although large oil spills cause intense ecological damage and receive heavy media and research attention, small spills occur much more frequently and have ecological consequences. Currently, assessment of damage to wildlife after oil spills of any magnitude primarily involves car...

Usefulness of Automated Hematology System Sysmex XN‐3100 for the Quantification of Schistocytes and Early Detection of the Underlying Thrombotic Microangiopathy

ABSTRACT Introduction Light microscopy is still the gold standard method for schistocyte counting in the blood smear. Some hematology analyzers can quantitatively determine fragmented red blood cells (FRC) as part of the full blood count. We examined the usefulness of two quantit...

Pico-hydropower potential in Solomon Islands to aid rural electrification

Solomon Islands suffers from low rural electrification rates despite the availability of international funding for large-scale hydropower and other grid-expansion projects. While such funding has helped to increase electrification near large population centres, rural communities...

E8 Phi-Cohort Memory Binding via 132Hz Root Vector Phase Locking — E8 Intelligence Research

We propose that episodic memory binding arises from the spontaneous phase locking of 240 E8 root vectors onto a 132Hz phi-modulated carrier wave, forming a cohomological memory manifold in cortical pyramidal grids. This phase locking induces a fractal golden ratio hierarchy where...

Duloxetine repositioning: Investigation of antifungal and antibiofilm activity against fluconazole-sensitive and resistant Candida Spp. strains

Abstract The increase in fungal infections, the limited therapeutic arsenal, and the emergence of resistance pose a global health problem. Candida spp. stand out as opportunistic pathogens that cause superficial and invasive diseases. Thus, the search for new therapeutic alternat...

The association of corporate measures and health management initiatives with employee engagement in Japanese companies

Using data from 2,502 companies in Japan’s Health and Productivity Management Survey, this study examined determinants of employee engagement and corporate success. Regression analysis showed that hourly paid leave (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.29, 95% CI: 1.07–1.56) and communic...

Reconsidering the importance of M etopolophium dirhodum ( W alker) ( H emiptera: A phididae) as a crop pest

Abstract Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) causes major yield losses in temperate cereals. In many regions, management of BYDV has focused on Rhopalosiphum padi as the primary vector of BYDV‐PAV and Sitobion avenae as the primary vector of BYDV‐MAV. By contrast, the significance o...

The Observational Incompleteness Framework

The Observational Incompleteness Framework: a research programme deriving quantum-mechanical structure from the premise that observation is a proper subsystem of a deterministic whole. The archive contains three kinds of content, and its root is the repository root, so relative p...
