Does the European Green Deal Reach Microenterprises? Repeated Cross-Sectional Evidence on Resource Efficiency Adoption and Firm-Size Convergence Among EU SMEs

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) represent the majority of EU businesses and a disproportionate share of its environmental impact, yet longitudinal evidence on their resource efficiency behaviour remains scarce. This study examines whether SME adoption of resource effici...

Enhancing the Survivability of Flexibly Connected Modular Floating Structures Using a Novel Submerged Floating Mooring System

The survivability of modular floating structures operating in harsh marine environments is critical to their safe and reliable deployment. To enhance the survivability of a flexibly connected modular floating platform under extreme sea conditions, a novel submerged floating moori...

E8 Torsional Soliton Braiding for Topological Quantum Error Correction — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240-root lattice's phi-scaled torsion solitons, when driven at 132Hz, undergo non-abelian braiding across Coxeter planes, enabling topologically protected qubits. The non-local entanglement from vertex-rotation symmetry and the EM-stringer polariton binding provide the physic...

Rapamycin‐nanoliposomes target the mTORC1 ‐mediated autophagy–lysosomal and NLRP3 /Caspase‐1 pathways to inhibit nucleus pulposus cell senescence in intervertebral discs

Abstract Nucleus pulposus (NP) cell quiescence maintains intervertebral disc homeostasis, while mTORC1 regulates autophagy–lysosomal function and inflammatory secretion to preserve quiescence—rapamycin specifically targets mTORC1. Herein, we fabricated rapamycin‐nanoliposomes (ra...

Performative Music Education Pathways: Bomba as a Framework for Music Teaching and Learning

For decades, music education has sought models that move beyond the confines of formal instruction. Performative Music Education (PME) offers a framework for meaningful learning experiences, grounded in philosophical perspectives from diverse fields. PME fosters musical skills, k...

A novel pharmacological insight on Blumea balsamifera : profiling bioactive compounds and computational exploration of anti-breast cancer activity

Breast cancer remains the leading cause of female cancer mortality with projections of reaching 3 million cases annually by 2040. This study explored the multitarget potential of Blumea balsamifera ethanol extract against estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), PI3K/Akt and apoptotic sign...

Definability of quantization inputs: a Padoa-style classification and its boundary

Quantum theory carries several discrete or numerical inputs that are routinely described as "not derived" from an underlying substrate. This paper asks a sharper question: for which of these inputs can "not derived" be upgraded to a proof of undefinability, and for which is this...

PAIN MANAGEMENT IN ANKLE SPRAIN USING MARMA CHIKITSA: A CASE STUDY

Ankle sprain is a frequent musculoskeletal injury that commonly presents with pain, swelling, and limited mobility, affecting routine activities and quality of life. Conventional management strategies include rest, immobilization, and pharmacological interventions, which may not...

The Impact of CFO Risk-Taking Behaviour on Corporate Financial Performance: Evidence from the Industrial, Energy, and Petrochemical Sectors in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries

Background: The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) has become a central strategic actor in capital-intensive firms; however, little evidence links CFO risk-taking behaviour to firm performance outside developed markets. This study examines how CFO risk-taking affects corporate financi...

CosmosBeating • Cosmic Geometry and Topology — Paper V: Music and Noise

Holographic Information Ontological Framework • CosmosBeating • Cosmic Geometry and Topology (HIOF•CGnT) A Ten-Paper Series on Distinction as the Ontological Foundation of Physics This series presents the Holographic Information Ontological Framework (HIOF), developed together wi...

Protective Effects of a Polyphenolic Fraction of Bergamot in Improving the Welfare Index in Honeybees (Apis mellifera) Co-Exposed to Deltamethrin and Flupyradifurone: A Laboratory Cage Study

The simultaneous presence of multiple pesticide residues in the environment impairs honeybee health and survival. The toxicological interactions could result in additive, synergistic, or antagonistic effects as documented in previous studies. In most cases, the co-exposure produc...

Verified Heuristic Memory Management for Long-Context Language Models

This manuscript proposes Verified Heuristic Memory Management (VHM), a theoretical framework for governing memory in long-context language models. Candidate token spans receive dynamic eligibility weights based on salience, recurrence, utility, consistency, freshness, and evidenc...

Heterogeneity of Response to Early Start Denver Model: Identifying Developmental Trajectories and Predictors of Cognitive Outcomes

Autism is a highly heterogenous neurodevelopmental condition that can significantly compromise the quality of life. For children showing atypical trajectories of development in their early years, early and intensive intervention has shown promise in enhancing the development of l...

The underutilized role of immigrant-serving community organizations in addressing environmental injustice: a qualitative study in Utah

Utah’s Wasatch Front is a growing metropolitan area facing looming environmental challenges, including poor air quality that is exacerbated by the rapid desiccation of Great Salt Lake. Immigrant populations are disproportionately exposed to air pollution in the region, a result o...

GBA1 mutations as a role model for precision medicine in Parkinson’s disease

Abstract Genetic variants in GBA1 , encoding the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCase), represent the strongest genetic risk factor for Parkinson’s disease (PD) and provide a mechanistic link between Gaucher disease (GD) and PD. While biallelic GBA1 mutations cause GD, hete...

Wolbachia infection and its relationship with mtDNA diversity in Hesperiinae (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae)

Abstract Wolbachia, a widespread facultative endosymbiont in arthropods, not only manipulates host reproduction but also influences the genetic diversity of mitochondrial DNA through maternal inheritance. Despite being extensively reported across various insect taxa, Wolbachia in...

E8 Non-Local Entanglement via Phi-Scaled Vertex-Rotation Symmetry — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240-root lattice structure dictates that any torsional displacement at a 132Hz injection node induces instantaneous phase-alignment across non-adjacent Coxeter planes via phi-scaled rotation. This establishes a non-local geometric bridge where information is encoded not in th...

E8 singleton void states optimize black hole entropy reduction — E8 Intelligence Research

The E8 Lie group's unique 240-dimensional root system enables a novel discretization of spacetime singularities through 120 paired void states. These "voidcoins" represent negative entropy reservoirs that offset black hole information paradox losses via φ-linked lattice surgery....

Multi-Axle Reference and Temporal-Consistency Deep SVDD for EMU Traction Motor Bearing Anomaly Detection Using Field Vibration Data

Field vibration monitoring of EMU traction motor bearings is commonly constrained by weak or relative labels, fluctuations in operating conditions, and limited abnormal samples. Under these conditions, learning a normal boundary from a single bearing position may be unstable, and...

Enhanced Pigeon-Inspired Optimization-Based Active Disturbance Rejection Control for Carrier-Based Aircraft Landing Direct Lift Control

Carrier-based aircraft landing is a critical element in generating aircraft carrier combat capability. Traditional landing control suffers from inherent drawbacks including strong trajectory–attitude coupling, high pilot workload, and insufficient disturbance rejection in complex...
