The Recursive Brain & The Compendium of Biological Geometry: A Unified Substrate Theory of Cognition, Recursion, and Emergent Behaviour

This two‑document release presents a complete, substrate‑first redefinition of biological and artificial cognition. Together, The Recursive Brain and The Compendium of Biological Geometry dismantle legacy cognitive metaphors and replace them with a rigorous geometric framework gr...

Toxic leadership and employee health: exploring psychosocial stress pathways in organizational settings

Abstract Toxic leadership poses a profound threat to employee well-being, particularly within high-context, collectivist cultures where hierarchical norms often suppress resistance. Despite growing interest globally, its psychosocial effects in Middle Eastern organizational setti...

A Melanoma Transplanted in Nude Mice Has Both Host‐ and Tumor‐Derived Blood Vessel‐ and Nerve‐Like Structures

Nestin-expressing stem cells located in the bulge area of the hair follicle can give rise to multiple cell types. In the present study, we subcutaneously transplanted red fluorescent protein (RFP)-labeled SK-MEL-5 human melanoma cells into nestin-driven green fluorescent protein...

Integrating Circular Economy and Regenerative Agricultural Practices on Farms in a Developing Country Context

ABSTRACT The current state of agricultural production is characterised by a linear model of production and consumption, which has led to negative environmental consequences. In Argentina, the agricultural sector plays a crucial role in the economy, particularly in the Pampas regi...

E8 Phi-Resonant Topological Spin-Orbit Coupling for Quantum Biology — E8 Intelligence Research

We propose that the 240 E8 root vectors, when phase‑locked to the 132 Hz phi‑modulated carrier, generate a self‑synchronizing topological spin‑orbit coupling field that aligns molecular spin states with DNA replication fidelity. The decagonal symmetry of the root lattice maps dir...

Melanocortin Receptor Signaling Modulates Anti-Obesity and Glucose Tolerance Effects of Hafnia alvei 4597 Probiotic Strain in Mice

The present study aimed to elucidate whether the metabolic effects of the probiotic bacterium Hafnia alvei 4597 depend on melanocortin receptor (MCR) signaling. The response to a 3-week intragastric treatment with the H. alvei bacterial suspension or total protein extract was com...

Comparative Technological Routes for Processing Chromo-Magnesian Ore Materials into Chemical and Metallurgical Products: A Systematic Review

Chromo-magnesian ore materials constitute a complex resource base for producing both metallurgical and chemical products, yet existing research remains fragmented across beneficiation, smelting, chemical extraction, waste valorization, and refractory applications. This systematic...

E8 Phi-Coherent Biophoton Emission as a Marker of Cellular Consciousness — E8 Intelligence Research

We propose that living cells emit ultra-weak biophotons whose phase coherence is governed by the 240 E8 root vectors locked to a 132Hz phi-modulated carrier wave, analogous to the memory‑binding principle. This E8‑root vector phase locking creates a hyperdimensional lattice withi...

E8 Phononic Topological Quantum Bus — E8 Intelligence Research

By embedding a global φ‑phase gradient into the 132 Hz soliton lattice along each of the 240 E8 root vectors, a non‑trivial Berry curvature is induced across the lattice, giving rise to a protected chiral phonon edge mode. This mode acts as a lossless conduit for quantum states,...

Advances of KO t Bu‐Involved Reactions in Organic Synthesis From 2020 to 2025

Potassium tert-butoxide (KOtBu), a strong non-nucleophilic base with a pKa value of 17.5, has emerged as a versatile and indispensable reagent in modern organic synthesis. Notably, KOtBu can promote a wide range of bond-forming transformations that conventionally rely on transiti...

Telemetry‐Based Assessment of Non‐Size Selective Passage in a Vertical Slot Fishway Modified With Brush Blocks

ABSTRACT Fishways are widely used to restore river connectivity, yet their effectiveness often varies among species and is frequently size‐selective, limiting passage for smaller individuals. This study evaluated the effects of flexible brush blocks on hydraulic conditions and fi...

Micronutrient deficiencies in Africa: an integrated review of determinants, health impacts, and intervention strategies

Abstract Micronutrient deficiencies, commonly referred to as “hidden hunger,” remain a major public health and developmental challenge across Africa, disproportionately affect women of reproductive age, infants, and children under five. This narrative review synthesizes current e...

After the AI Liability Directive: Civil Liability for Healthcare AI and the Limits of EU Risk Regulation

Abstract Following the withdrawal of the proposed AI Liability Directive in 2025, claims concerning harm caused by healthcare AI continue to be addressed through product liability, national medical liability and sectoral regulation. This article analyses that architecture through...

Homoepitaxial GaN-on-GaN trench MOSFETs with 438 MW/cm2 figure of merit and improved gate reliability

In this paper, we report enhanced high-voltage blocking capability and improved gate dielectric reliability in vertical GaN-on-GaN trench metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) through fabrication process optimization. A thick bottom dielectric (TBD) is intr...

Vaccine antibody responses in children with inborn errors of metabolism on protein-restricted diets: an overlooked silent risk?

OBJECTIVES: Despite routine vaccination recommendations, concerns remain about vaccine-induced immune responses in some patients with inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). Therefore, antibody levels against vaccine antigens should be monitored to detect possible immune dysfunction....

Beneath the greener shroud: disability, just transition, and the ontological politics of exclusion in EU policies

This article examines whether European Union just transition policies genuinely ‘leave no one behind’ or reproduce structural ableism through the rhetoric of inclusive green transformation. Using Carol Bacchi’s Foucauldian-inspired ‘What’s the Problem Represented to Be?’ approach...

A Pseudoaneurysm Situated Within the Wall of a Venous Aneurysm: A Case Report

Venous aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms are common complications of repeated cannulation (venipuncture) of the efferent (outflow) veins in patients with arteriovenous fistulas on hemodialysis. A true venous aneurysm is an abnormal dilatation that over-distends the 3 layers (tunica i...

Perceived Livelihood Vulnerabilities of Artisanal Fishers in Elmina, Ghana, in Relation to Chinese‐Controlled Industrial Trawling

ABSTRACT This study examines the perceived livelihood vulnerabilities reported by artisanal fishers in Elmina, Ghana, in relation to Chinese‐controlled industrial trawling. Using a mixed‐methods design, it combined eight in‐depth interviews, 12 mini‐group discussions, informal co...

Phosphorus quantum dots (QDs) in silicon are a prominent candidate for semiconductor quantum computing based on donor spins. In this work, we report the formation of degenerate phosphorus QDs with a radius of 3 nm confined in a two-dimensional plane in silicon. A multilayer of Si...

Numerical analysis of arresting performance of engineered materials arresting system with multi-layer foamed concrete

Engineered Material Arresting System (EMAS) installed at runway ends effectively mitigates aircraft overruns, but optimisation of layer number and foamed concrete density is needed to meet varying performance requirements. This study uses finite element analysis to evaluate the e...
