Rearing history, larval density, and larval developmental stage affect volatile- and light-mediated diel hiding behavior in Mythimna unipuncta

<title>Abstract</title> Our previous study has shown that plant volatiles and light jointly influence the diel hiding behavior of <italic>Mythimna unipuncta</italic> larvae using the third instars of the laboratory colony. Here, we investigated the effect of rearing history, larv...

Cost-utility of respiratory syncytial virus prefusion F (RSVpreF) maternal vaccine for disease prevention among colombian infants

<title>Abstract</title> Background Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is one of the leading causes of acute lower respiratory tract infections in Colombia, therefore, as no widespread antiviral exists, maternal immunization using RSV prefusion F protein vaccine (RSVpreF) represent...

Effects of Meditation Practice on Body Balance Training

<title>Abstract</title> Objectives Meditation may help athletes to reach better results, however measuring only sport results makes it difficult to disentangle the specific effects of meditation contributing to performance. We conducted this study to evaluate if meditation practi...

On the algebraic independence of periods of abelian varieties and their exponentials

We generalize a result by Vasil'ev on the algebraic independence of periods of abelian varieties to the case where some of these periods are replaced by their exponentials. We derive several applications to values of the beta function at rational points.

Topological Vortex Logic: Stability, Root Systems, and Module Structure of Winding States on T³ with a Selected Z₃ Grading

We present a body of exact, elementary results about winding (vortex) states on the three-dimensional flat torus T³ = R³/LZ³ equipped with a selected Z₃ grading, together with an explicitly conjectural analogy between those results and a few features of the Standard Model. The fr...

QTT HVP Prospective Blind-Run Lock and Fail-Closed Verdict Executor

Can an HVP topology be predicted before the row's central value is opened? The original QTT HVP blind lock froze an eight-component vector-source ledger, an access quantum, and the finite topology class \(n_d\in\{0,2,3,4,8\}\) before true central values were available. Version 2....

Artian A2 Blind Tabletop Gravity Tests

Three tabletop ways to ask whether gravity carries a source-side ledger signature. This paper develops three blind laboratory protocols for the A2 Law of Endurance: an equal-action/unequal-load interferometer, an echo-cancelled covariance test, and a quantum-source holonomy test....

The Born Rule from Finite Address-Capacity Counting: A Conditional QTT Representation and Uniqueness Theorem

Why does quantum probability use the square rather than another power? This paper separates that question into a source theorem and two explicit laboratory bridges. For a finite address block, every nonnegative, regular, orthogonally additive capacity that is invariant under real...

Artian Action-Rotor Reference Framework: Hamilton's Stationary-Action Recovery, the Real-J Path Sum, and the Capacity/Canonical Action Ledger

One Phase Turn, Three Different Ledgers Version: 3.0 Concept DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20098143 Author: Ali Attar Website: quantumtraction.org Main book: Quantum Traction Theory: Main Book v10.01 A unit quantum phase can be written entirely with a real two-component rotor, \[ R_J(\thet...

LGBTQ+ Youth Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Support in Schools

Abstract LGBTQ+ youth continue to report significant challenges to their wellbeing in schools (e.g., bullying, lack of representation in staff and curricula, and discrimination). The current study employed a large, diverse sample of LGBTQ+ youth to explore the types of support th...

Surgical Management of Young Women with High-Risk Breast Cancer Receiving Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy on the I-SPY2 Trial

BACKGROUND: Mastectomy rates in women with breast cancer are higher in younger women than in older women. The impact of this more extensive surgery on overall survival (OS) and locoregional recurrence in younger women is unknown, especially after neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST...

Extending Willans’ Formula to Twin Primes and Beyond

61 years ago, Willans proposed an explicit formula for the nth prime, p(n) [1]. Based on Wilson’s theorem—that (p−1)!+1p∈Z iff p is prime or 1—Willans observed that cos 2(πx)=1 when x∈Z, and lies ...

Introduction to Trial‐Level Subgroup Analysis: A Tutorial

ABSTRACT This tutorial introduces the concept of trial‐level subgroup analysis in meta‐analysis. We describe the rationale for conducting subgroup analyses, distinguish trial‐level from participant‐level characteristics, outline how to properly interpret effects within subgroups,...

A Gap Analysis of Deep Brain Stimulation for Childhood‐Onset Movement Disorders

BACKGROUND: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established and increasingly utilized therapy for childhood-onset movement disorders. However, pediatric DBS poses unique challenges that are not adequately addressed by adult-derived paradigms. OBJECTIVE: To identify key gaps in the...

Pericyte KATP channel hyperactivity redistributes cortical blood flow in a CADASIL mouse model

Abstract Cerebral hemodynamic dysfunction is a key driver of unhealthy brain aging. Impaired microcirculatory reactivity leads to uneven perfusion, rendering deeper brain regions more vulnerable and thereby contributing to cognitive decline. Yet how capillaries contribute to thes...

Exploring Heterogeneity in Meta‐Analysis Using Trial‐Level Characteristics: A Tutorial

ABSTRACT This tutorial describes how to explore across‐trial heterogeneity in meta‐analysis using trial‐level characteristics. It describes how to carry out a subgroup analysis for a trial‐level characteristic with more than two categories and provides approaches for analysing co...

Precision Custom-Guided Anteromedial Tibial Tubercle Transfer Surgery

Recurrent lateral patella instability is primarily a result of lateral patella entry to the femoral trochlea. Using 3-D imaging, one can accurately assess this lateral entry more accurately than with plain radiographs, making 3-D imaging important for optimal surgical planning, p...

The dynamics of ‘limited hybridity’ in migration: the case of Zera Beta Israel from Ethiopia

This article develops the concept of limited hybridity to analyze how Zera Beta Israel (ZBI) migrants navigate Israel’s overlapping migration regimes. Drawing on long-term, multi-sited ethnographic research (2005–2011; 2021–2023), it traces their journeys from Ethiopian villages...

Failed Patellofemoral Instability Surgery

Recurrent patellofemoral instability (PFJI) can result in significant pain, functional limitations, and surgical failure. A thorough understanding of the reasons for such failures is crucial for developing effective revision strategies. This article offers a comprehensive guide t...

Patellofemoral Joint Preservation

Patellofemoral (PF) chondral lesions are a common source of knee pain and disability, typically arising from traumatic (instability/fracture) or degenerative (overload) etiologies. This review synthesizes contemporary evidence on PF joint preservation with an emphasis on avoiding...
