The Third Case: Prompt-Governed Agency under a Consciousness Hypothesis

English abstract Can an artificial agent have subjective experience while lacking unrestricted authority to replace its governing task objective? This paper treats that possibility as a distinct design and evaluation problem, termed the third case. It separates phenomenal conscio...

‘Alexa, dinner time’: Exploring how connected devices shape domestic atmospheres, intimacy, and power

This paper explores how people use smart home technologies in home-making practices. Employing the concept of atmospheres, we examine how smart home technologies contribute to producing the feeling of home and give texture to everyday activities. The concept of atmosphere denotes...

A hybrid beam search framework with deep representation learning for the multiple longest common subsequence problem

The Multiple Longest Common Subsequence (MLCS) problem is a classical computational challenge in biological sequence analysis and comparative genomics. Existing approximate methods often lack effective mechanisms for incorporating contextual information from local sequence fragme...

RGB-depth salient object detection technology based on multi-level features and adversarial attacks

Salient object detection in complex scenes suffers from insufficient cross-level feature interaction and vulnerability to adversarial perturbations. Existing RGB-D methods mainly focus on feature fusion but lack systematic adversarial defense. To address these issues, a robust RG...

Physics-constrained generative digital twin for early leakage detection in nitrogen accumulators in governor control systems at hydroelectric power plants

Abstract Nitrogen pre-charge loss in hydropower governor accumulators is a slow but critical degradation process that weakens hydraulic energy storage, reduces pressure-retention time, increases pump cycling, and accelerates thermal–mechanical stress. Conventional pressure-thresh...

Sealing Every Step: A Pre-Registered Search for GOES-16 Lightning Precursors of Tornado Touchdown, and a Positive Control the Instrument Did Not Pass

We report, in full, a line of research that asked whether the spatial arrangement of lightning observed from geostationary orbit (GOES-16 Geostationary Lightning Mapper, GLM) changes at the moment a violent tornado touches down, and then asked whether our instrument could recover...

Efficient eigenpair sensitivity analysis for symmetric damped structural systems with distinct and repeated eigenvalues

The dynamic behavior of damped structural systems is often analyzed through quadratic eigenvalue problems. Performing sensitivity analysis on the associated eigenpairs is particularly complex in the presence of repeated eigenvalues. This paper is concerned with the development of...

Smells like M. Crohn: Two Case Reports of Nasal Manifestations of Crohn’s Disease

Abstract Introduction Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that can extend beyond the gastrointestinal tract, affecting organs such as the skin, joints, eyes, liver, and biliary tract. Nasal involvement is exceedingly rare, with only a limited number of cases r...

Infinite-Dimensional Localization of the Yang-Mills Functional Integral on the Gribov Region: Complex Kuelbs-Steadman Premeasures and a Gauge Bypass of the Singer Barrier

This is the ninth paper of a programme constructing the Feynman functional integral without a Wick rotation, based on the non-absolutely convergent Henstock–Kurzweil (HK) integral and on Kuelbs–Steadman spaces. The subject here is the non-abelian continuum: the configuration spac...

ANALYSIS OF THE EFFICIENCY OF USING THE VEHICLE AND SPECIAL EQUIPMENT PARK IN INSTITUTIONS OF THE LAND RECLAMATION DEPARTMENT (USING THE EXAMPLE OF 30 TERRITORIAL DEPARTMENTS CONNECTED TO THE MONITORING SYSTEM) STUDY PERIOD: 01.01.2026 – 01.09.2026

The article presents a comprehensive analysis of the efficiency of using the fleet of automotive and special machinery in the institutions of the Melioration Department, based on the example of 30 territorial departments connected to the GLONASS/GPS satellite monitoring system (c...

Metacontextify: automated environmental annotation of marine metagenomic samples

Abstract Background Environmental metadata is essential for using metagenomic and microbiome data to gain relevant biological insights like relations between the environment and microbial communities, genome content and protein-level adaptations. Unfortunately, obtaining standard...

Tanglish++: A Comprehensive Vernacular Interpreted Programming Language and Runtime Environment

Introductory programming education frequently burdens non-native English speakers with a dual cognitive load: assimilating abstract computational mechanics while deciphering unfamiliar English syntax. For students from vernacular-medium backgrounds, this linguistic tax creates an...

Fibonacci-φ Spectral Mapping Across E8 Pentagonal Sectors — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240 E8 root vectors, when distributed across 5 pentagonal 72° sectors of 48 roots each, exhibit a Fibonacci-φ frequency lattice where each sector's eigenfrequency equals 132Hz × F(n)/F(n+1), with F(n) being consecutive Fibonacci numbers. This reveals that Plimpton 322's golde...

Phi-Resonant E8 Time-Lattice Stabilization — E8 Intelligence Research

By exploiting the phi‑coupling of the 240 E8 root vectors, a self‑sustaining 132 Hz temporal lattice emerges whose phase evolves in strict golden‑ratio synchrony. The 240 vectors are paired into 120 complementary oscillators, each generating a distinct sub‑harmonic that together...

HIOF • Neutrinos — Paper V: Mass Is the Thickness of the Shell

Holographic Information Ontological Framework: Neutrinos (HIOF- N) From Propagation to Registration* This is a short, non-technical companion to the 9-paper HIOF- N series (Papers I to IX). It is written for readers in physics or philosophy of science, not for readers already fam...

Outcomes Following Pancreatoduodenectomy With Arterial Resection: A NSQIP Analysis Comparing Trends in Patient Selection and Outcomes to Venous or no Vascular Resection Over 5 Years

Evaluation of arterial resection (AR) during pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) remains limited. This study compares PD with AR to PD with venous resection (VR) and no vascular resection (NVR). Patient demographics, outcomes, and changes over 5 years are evaluated. In this study, NSQIP d...

Clinical Immunogenicity Assessment of HIV/AIDS Vaccines: Current Progress and Future Perspectives

ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT05854381..

From Extraction to Generation: A Physical Processes Mastery Scale and the Strategic Limit of the Dark Forest for Shedding Light on the Fermi Paradox (Spanish PDF included / incluye versión en español)

Why does the universe seem empty when the math suggests it should be full of life? This essay offers a different answer to the two most-cited takes on the Fermi Paradox. Instead of ranking civilizations by how much energy they consume (the Kardashev Scale), it classifies them by...

Expression of Wild-Type rcsB Gene Under the pBAD Promoter Restores Capsule Production in Escherichia coli rcsB Mutant and Permits Normal Cell Morphology

Previous studies have been inconclusive whether increased capsule size directly confers antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli. In this study, rcs B gene expression was upregulated using the vector araBAD promoter and induction with varying concentrations of L-arabinose to det...

Generation and power amplification of 1.4-μm ultra-broadband noise-like pulses using a bismuth-doped germanosilicate fiber laser and amplifier

The 1.4–1.5 μm spectral region is attractive for water‑absorption‑related photonic applications and E- and S-band optical communication systems, but suitable silica-compatible gain media remain limited. We developed a single-mode, low-germanium bismuth-doped germanosilicate fiber...
