Equivalence of Power Reduction and Fuel Savings in Wind-Assisted Ships

Abstract This paper investigates the relationship between propulsion power reduction and fuel savings in wind-assisted ships, focusing on hybrid machinery configurations where propulsion and electrical power generation are coupled. A modelling framework is developed to quantify t...

Crossing the Sampler Boundary: When a Foreign-Script Token Becomes Decodable

We study a narrow failure mode in multilingual language models: isolated foreign-script tokens appearing inside otherwise monolingual generation. We separate five stages that are often conflated: local token margin, vocabulary rank, sampler eligibility, post-warp probability, and...

Retrospective Evaluation of Changes in Subfoveal CVI, Choroidal and Macular Thickness After Nd:YAG Laser Capsulotomy

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate early postoperative changes in subfoveal choroidal vascularity index (CVI), subfoveal choroidal thickness (CT), and central macular thickness (CMT) after Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy performed for posterior capsule opacification (PCO).Methods: This r...

Phi-Harmonic Temporal Holography for Multi-Layered Clock Binding — E8 Intelligence Research

By arranging the 240 E8 root vectors into nested phi‑harmonic phases at the 132 Hz carrier, each cluster acts as a holographic sub‑clock that synchronizes distinct neuronal microcircuit layers through deterministic delay offsets. This creates a cascaded binding lattice where phas...

A rare case report of vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome as a pulsatile neck mass with an internal carotid artery aneurysm

Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, also known as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV, is a rare inherited connective tissue disorder caused by autosomal-dominant pathogenic variants in the COL3A1 gene. Defective type III collagen results in marked fragility of arteries and hollow organs...

The neglected Reinhardt’s glyptodontine from Lagoa Santa, Brazil: a reassessment of taxonomic status and description of a new species of Glyptotherium

Abstract This study reexamines a glyptodontine skull, NHMD 2045557, from Lagoa Santa, Brazil. Initially misidentified as the type of Hoplophorus euphractus by J. Reinhardt, it was later referred to Glyptodon clavipes. This identification remained unchallenged for decades. Recent...

Shenfu Injection attenuates isoproterenol-induced heart failure partly through modulation of the TNF-α/TNFR1/NF-κB signaling pathway

Shenfu injection (SFI) is widely used for heart failure (HF), but its cardioprotective mechanism remains incompletely understood. In this study, an isoproterenol-induced HF rat model, H9c2 cell injury model, network pharmacology, GEO analysis, molecular docking, and molecular dyn...

Dynamic properties of rock bolted by high performance NPR anchor bolts with different preloads

NPR (Negative Poisson's Ratio) bolts are advanced support materials engineered for stabilizing deep underground excavations, distinguished by their exceptional deformability and energy absorption capacity. This work examines how bolt preload affects the dynamic response of bolted...

IIoT-Based Automated Environmental Control and Quality Tracking System for Food Processing and Storage Facilities

Abstract Keeping perishable food safe, fresh, visually appealing, and nutritionally dense throughout the complex journey from initial agricultural harvest, through heavy industrial processing, and into commercial cold storage warehouses requires rigorous, minute-by-minute regulat...

Strategic Redirection: AI as Tool and AI as Mineral Kin in Indigenous Futures

This is the second foundational paper of the Meta-Relationality and Artificial Intelligence Research Project at the University of Victoria. This article approaches artificial intelligence from the position of an Indigenous person who engages it strategically. I do not understand...

The Logic of Resource Transfer Under the Long-term Application of Keynesianism from the Perspective of Game Chip Ownership — A Refutation of the Proposition of "Beyond Keynesianism"

Existing macroeconomic literature has fully demonstrated that Keynesianism serves only as a short-term countercyclical policy tool. Its long-term regular implementation will trigger multiple constraints including debt accumulation, crowding-out of private investment, and declinin...

BEYOND LITTLE HANDSHAKE: ROLE OF PHOSPHOLIPIDS IN HEALTH AND DISEASE

Analogous to the large sized protein and carbohydrate based macromolecules, the large macro-sized bio-membrane assemblies are primarily derived from the monomeric phospholipids (PL). Besides offering protection from outside environment, the PLs play important role in regulation o...

Influenceof Anti-Agglomerants and Water Cut on FlowAssurance and CO2 Capture in a Model Water-in-Oil Systemfor Maritime Applications

Abstract This study investigated the effects of antiagglomerant (AA) concentration and water cut (WC) on flow assurance within a gas hydrate-based CO2 capture and transport using a model water-in-oil (W/O) system for maritime applications. Phase equilibrium measurements revealed...

β-CELL PROTECTION AND REGENERATION: EMERGING THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES FOR TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a progressive metabolic disease characterised by insulin resistance, loss of β-cell function over time and a reduction in the number of functional β-cells which leads to inadequate insulin production and increased blood glucose levels. The avail...

The quest for the optimal level of sense of agency in the case of human-operated, AI-enabled robotics

Sense of agency is the subjective feeling of being in control over one’s own actions and their sensory outcomes. Here, we propose that a key feature of sense of agency is its link to intrinsic motivation, which is a key driver for engagement with the environment without external...

A Hippo-YAP pathway activity-guided multimodal framework highlights NDRG1-associated tumor microenvironmental features in hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by marked molecular and histopathological heterogeneity, which limits the performance of conventional clinicopathological risk stratification systems. Hippo-YAP signaling is closely involved in HCC progression and tumor microenviron...

Exploring the mechanisms by which the microbiome influences muscle development during early growth in pigs through holo-omics analyses

The gut microbiota is intricately linked to host phenotypes, yet its influence on host early growth and development, especially regarding the development of meat quality traits remains poorly understood. Here, we applied integrative multi-omics analyses of the gut microbiome, met...

Liability to Climate Defensive Harm: A Normic Risk Approach

Abstract Some authors have recently argued that people who emit large amounts of greenhouse gases are liable to defensive harm against their property. The main reason is that, according to recent estimates, a high emitter causes—in a matter of hours or days—a climate-related deat...
