Study on the Seismic Performance of Prefabricated Walls Under the Synergistic Effect of Different Connection Methods and Low-Carbon Materials

Dry-connected prefabricated composite walls have been increasingly used in steel structures owing to the development of building industrialization and the demand for rapid and efficient construction. However, the respective influences of dry-connection configuration and wall pane...

An iguratimod prodrug reduces RA-FLS invasiveness by disrupting STAT1–C3–TNFα-mediated crosstalk between fibroblast-like synoviocytes and macrophages

Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is driven in part by hyperactivated fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) that invade articular structures. Iguratimod (IGU), a conventional synthetic DMARD, is clinically effective, but its direct molecular target and impact on synovial cell-cel...

Current Evidence on Best Practice Dental Survivorship Care for People With Head and Neck Cancer: An Overview of Systematic Reviews and Emerging Evidence

INTRODUCTION: Head and neck cancer (HNC) survival is improving, increasing the need to address long-term survivorship issues. Dental survivorship-care before, during, and after treatment-remains inconsistent across services. We conducted a review of systematic reviews and emergin...

Global Realism: Spacetime Vacuum as the Unique Physical Reality and Quantum Mechanics as Its Topological Dynamics

We propose a unified physical framework in which four-dimensional spacetime vacuum is the unique physical reality, and all quanta are its localized topological excitations. Matter particles correspond to stable knot-like configurations, while radiation quanta correspond to weak p...

Accurate and Robust Roe-Type Scheme for Multicomponent Chemical Reaction Flows

Over the past few decades, the numerical shock instability of the Roe scheme has remained a subject of intensive study in computational fluid dynamics, with extensive research efforts dedicated to investigating its mechanisms and developing effective strategies to mitigate the in...

Occlusion Removal in Remote Sensing Images Based on Deep Matrix Completion

Remote sensing images are frequently degraded by occlusions and missing observations, which significantly affect subsequent interpretation and analysis. Matrix completion provides an effective solution for recovering incomplete data; however, existing deep learning-based approach...

Looking for a Fight: Patrons in the Know

Painting the most important ceremonial room in the Vatican in oil was not a painter's private decision. Someone approved it, and someone paid for it. This installment follows the money and the men: the Medici court that had retaken Florence and with it Leonardo's unfinished battl...

Deterministic Language Architecture: A Formal Category Definition and Architectural Specification for Non-Probabilistic Language Generation Systems

Canon³ — The Lume Synthetic Organism Canon (L-SOC) Language Architecture Volume I. This paper formally defines Deterministic Language Architecture (DLA) — a new category of language generation system in which output is governed by deterministic architecture rather than probabilis...

Contractile morning glory disc anomaly associated with total retinal detachment: a case report

Morning glory disc anomaly is a rare congenital optic nerve head malformation. The contractile variant, characterized by rhythmic pulsatile movement of the optic disc, is exceptionally uncommon, and detailed documentation of its dynamic features using multimodal imaging remains l...

Reduction of Some Polluting Metals in Contaminated Mining and Metallurgical Land

This study analyzed the content of polluting and toxic elements (Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd and Pb) in the cadastral municipalities immediately surrounding the mining and metallurgical complex Bor in Serbia. The soil is exposed to hazardous substances due to historical pollution. Soi...

Ownership concentration and operational efficiency in emerging markets: the moderating role of market volatility

This study examines the relationship between ownership concentration, stock price volatility, and firm-level operational efficiency in an emerging market using a sample of 86 Saudi-listed firms from 2016 to 2023. To address potential endogeneity, the analysis employs instrumental...

Examination of image conditions using multiway analysis of variance for predicting high-crash-risk intersections with image recognition AI

Traffic crashes on residential roads in Japan have declined only marginally in recent years, indicating a stagnation in safety improvements. A key challenge is the early identification of high‑risk intersections, yet existing image‑based prediction studies have not statistically...

CCA2-Secure Unidirectional Proxy Re-encryption from Cryptographic Group Actions

Proxy re-encryption (PRE) allows a semi-trusted party (called a proxy) to transform ciphertexts under one user's public key into ciphertexts under another user's public key, without revealing any information about the underlying messages or the secret keys. On the other hand, pos...

Assessing the Potential of Spirogyra as a Sustainable Biodiesel Feedstock: A Systematic Literature Review and Experimental Characterization of Its Fatty Acid Profile

This file contains the completed PRISMA 2020 Checklist associated with the manuscript. It indicates where each PRISMA reporting item is addressed in the manuscript.

Unravelling the genomic epidemiology and antigenic evolution of Chandipura virus: A slow-evolving neurotropic threat

Over six decades (1966–2024), 23 whole-genome sequences of Chandipura virus (CHPV), a neurotropic rhabdovirus associated with acute encephalitis primarily in India, have been analyzed. The virus is believed to be transmitted mainly by Sergentomyia and Phlebotomus sandflies. An ep...

Mitochondria‐Targeted Re (I) Complex Triggers Cuproptosis and Pyroptosis by Regulating Copper/Zinc Homeostasis in Cancer Cells

ABSTRACT Copper and zinc homeostasis is tightly regulated in mammalian cells, and their dysregulation is implicated in various pathological conditions including cancer. Herein, we have designed rhenium (I) complexes with Cu 2+ and Zn 2+ chelating properties, exhibiting significan...

Esthetic Crown Lengthening: A Case Report and Literature Review

Excessive gingival display is a common esthetic concern among patients seeking smile enhancement. Altered passive eruption (APE) is a frequent etiologic factor and is characterized by incomplete apical migration of the gingival margin following tooth eruption. Accurate diagnosis...

Abstract Purpose To compare the training effects of traditional (TRAD) and band‑assisted (NHE ASSIST ) Nordic Hamstring Exercise on knee flexor force‑length characteristics, NHE execution, and hip range of motion (ROM). Methods Forty-five male ( n = 24) and female ( n = 21) colle...

Sensitivity of Arctic mixed-phase cloud simulations to ice microphysical modifications in the WDM6 scheme of WRF (v4.3.1)

Abstract. Arctic mixed-phase clouds (MPCs) remain challenging to represent in atmospheric models, with bulk microphysics schemes typically biased toward either excessive glaciation or inadequate ice formation. This study evaluates the behavior of the Weather Research and Forecast...

An Extended-Gate Ion-Sensitive Field-Effect Transistor Based on Aptamer Capture for Ultrasensitive Detection of Tetracycline in River Water Samples

The widespread use of tetracycline (TC) has resulted in its frequent occurrence in aquatic environments because of incomplete metabolism and continuous release, raising increasing concerns regarding water quality and environmental safety. Reliable determination of trace TC in rea...
