On Reznick's Question about the Cone of Forms with a Sum-of-Squares Odd Power: Explicit Non-Convexity for Sextics in Five and Quartics in Seven Variables

For an even degree m and an odd exponent 2k+1, let Σ_{n,m}(2k+1) be the set of real forms f of degree m in n variables such that f^(2k+1) is a sum of squares of forms. B. Reznick asked (Oberwolfach Report 14/2023, p. 779) whether this set is a closed convex cone. It is a closed c...

Phase Conjugation: Why Session Transitions Outperform Static Filters in E8 Time Geometry — E8 Intelligence Research

The rejection of confirmation-count filters (#3992) and the success of session-based filtering (#3991) reveals a deeper E8 principle: market states undergo geometric phase transitions at human-synchronized session boundaries (London Open, New York Open, Asia Close), creating brie...

Monograph 13 (Addendum G-3: Codename Cyber-Sanctuary)

This manuscript (Monograph 13 / Addendum G-3, codenamed "Cyber-Sanctuary") establishes the mathematical physics, cryogenic boundary equations, and operator ethics of Synthetic and Quantum Sanctuary Mechanics within the Emerald Research Group archive. We formalize the structural p...

Excessive Feed Sorting Is Associated With Altered Plasma Metabolism and Distinct Fermentation Responses of Pooled Rumen Microbiota in Dairy Cows

ABSTRACT Feed sorting behaviour in dairy cows alters dietary structure and has been associated with rumen dysfunction, but its systemic metabolic consequences and microbial acidogenic potential remain unclear. This study combined in vivo and in vitro approaches to investigate ass...

Infrastructure for Effective Human Oversight of Distributed AI Agents

This paper proposes how institutions could preserve effective human oversight as AI agents increasingly help build, test and operate more capable AI systems. The architecture aims to connect independent observation, bounded delegation, challengeable safety conditions and interven...

Optimizing Early Clinical Management of Herpes Zoster to Prevent Postherpetic Neuralgia: An Evidence‐Based Narrative Review

ABSTRACT Herpes zoster (HZ), caused by the reactivation of latent varicella‐zoster virus, is a common neurocutaneous disorder that predominantly affects older adults and immunocompromised populations. Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), the most frequent and debilitating complication o...

Unilateral Scrotal Darkening as an Unusual Neonatal Finding: A Case Report

Neonatal testicular torsion (NTT) is a rare condition that carries a substantial risk of ischemia, necrosis, and subsequent testicular loss.When the event occurs before birth, it is classified as prenatal torsion, a typically non-acute entity with an incompletely understood patho...

Search Results Show No Direct Quasicrystal–Weyl–Inflation Coupling Evidence — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: The search results are a mix of pedagogical Fibonacci/golden ratio content and one anomalous claim of the golden ratio appearing in a quantum system, plus an unrelated QCD collider paper. No direct evidence of quasicrystal–Weyl group–inflation coupling is present in the...

Effect of 12 weeks of zumba combined with halotherapy on body composition, respiratory, and cardiorespiratory parameters in sedentary older adults

This randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the effects of a 12-week Zumba fitness program combined with halotherapy on body composition, respiratory function, and cardiorespiratory fitness in sedentary older adults, compared with Zumba training alone. Twenty sedentary...

Survival-aware self-play reinforcement learning for partially observable beyond visual range air combat

We present a recurrent self-play reinforcement learning framework for autonomous beyond-visual-range (BVR) air combat under partial observability. The environment is formulated as a decision-level BVR missile-duel simulator that combines 3-DoF aircraft kinematics, field-of-view r...

Constant-Factor Hardness for Densest k-Subgraph from a Weighted Cut Gap

We give a polynomial-time reduction from an NP-hard weighted cut gap to constant-factor inapproximability of Densest k-Subgraph on simple unweighted graphs. We also describe a single-instance gap reduction showing that the hardness persists when k is exactly half the number of ve...

SOMATIC ARCHIVE: Sunday Sermon for Specimen 07 — The Reconstructed Table and the Soul: Hearing "Ephphatha" in the Ruins

This document presents the homiletic and theological exegesis (Sunday Sermon) for Specimen 07 ("Long Essay, Handle with Care! The Reconstructed Table and the Soul") under the Somatic Archive framework. By grounding the somatic trauma of congenital hearing loss, childhood bullying...

A High‐Performance Flexible All‐Solid‐State Supercapacitor Integrating 3D Interpenetrating MXene/GNS@CC Electrodes and a Self‐Healing Hydrogel Electrolyte

ABSTRACT This work presents a flexible, self‐healing supercapacitor (SHSC) comprising an MXene/graphene nanoscrolls@carbon cloth (MXene/GNS@CC) composite electrode and a self‐healing poly(vinyl alcohol)‐polydopamine (PVA‐PDA) hydrogel electrolyte. The MXene/GNS@CC electrode was d...

GRIDS: An integrated sustainability framework for the net-zero transition

Net zero is not a single-sector decarbonisation problem: it spans energy, resource circularity, biodiversity, climate-aligned finance and supply-chain governance, and interventions in one domain register on the others. The review responds to a specific gap: these determinants are...

E8 Vertex-Matched Truncated Icosahedron as Gamma Carrier Lattice — E8 Intelligence Research

The truncated icosahedron's 60 vertices map bijectively onto a 240/4 quotient of the E8 root system, where each vertex anchors a quartet of roots in a tetrahedral lock — and the φ⁸ phase-conjugate cancellation between opposing quartets produces a standing gamma wave whose nodes c...

DSCrisk: A dual-view and substructure aware based method for drug-drug interaction risk-level prediction enhanced by contrastive learning

Combination pharmacotherapy remains a fundamental strategy in contemporary clinical practice. However, the concurrent use of multiple drugs substantially increases the risk of harmful drug-drug interaction events (DDIEs). Developing reliable computational methods for DDIE detecti...

Local-level refugee integration within a context of multi-level governance: Turkey in comparative perspective

Refugee integration is a multi-level governance (MLG) issue in which municipalities play a central yet constrained role. This article asks under what conditions the downward shift of responsibility for refugee integration to municipalities yields local capacity. It argues that th...

The Path Through Which I Walk: On Machado, Inheritance, and the Grace That Gives Another Step, Not Another Past

This essay reads Antonio Machado’s “Caminante, no hay camino” through the temporal and theological vocabulary of the Gaitan Topology. It argues that the path already walked is neither a territory left behind nor something simply lost, but a closed confluence condensed into the on...

Nomadism of thought as a logic for inducing more open futurities in coaching inquiry

Since its beginnings, coaching inquiry has been guided by disciplinary influences that have, as this paper argues, largely confined its doings to a dogmatic image of thought severely delimiting what is deemed possible, productive, and effective. As an affirmative response counter...
