In this paper, the dependence of eigenvalues of one-dimensional Schrödinger operators with point interactions in potentials is studied. More precisely, the second-order Fréchet derivative of eigenvalues of one-dimensional Schrödinger operators with point interactions in potential...

This paper investigates the generalized (2+1)-dimensional coupled Davey-Stewartson (DS) equation, which describes the motions of long and short waves in shallow waters and has extensive applications in plasma physics. First, we study the Weierstrass elliptic function solutions us...

This study examines the effects of globalization, energy productivity, primary energy consumption, and economic growth on CO₂ emissions in France. Using quarterly time-series data for France covering between 1990Q1 and 2019Q4, the study models CO₂ emissions as a function of globa...

Leiomyosarcoma of the oral cavity is extremely rare in both human and veterinary medicine. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing the clinical course and multimodal treatment of a canine leiomyosarcoma arising in the soft palate. A 3-year-old, spayed fe...

Compensation for research participants in clinical trials is a critical yet ethically complex issue, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) like Ghana. This study explores diverse stakeholder perspectives on appropriate compensation levels and types in clinical tr...

Machines now act, and the question of whether an action should proceed is no longer advisory. Two answers are deployed today: permission engines, which ask whether an action is allowed, and safety classifiers, which ask whether it is dangerous. Neither asks what an action means a...

Spinal meningioma subtype and grade still rest on haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) morphology, but permanent sections become available only after fixation and embedding, and intraoperative assessment of fresh tissue relies mainly on frozen section. Dynamic cell imaging (DCI), a label...

GLOBAL DYNAMICS OF A TIME-DELAYED ZIKA VIRUS MODEL WITH INCUBATION PERIOD
Zika virus (ZIKV), primarily transmitted by <i>Aedes</i> mosquitoes, can cause severe neurological complications and has triggered multiple outbreaks worldwide in recent years. In this paper, we develop a time-delayed transmission model incorporating the human incubation period a...

Polylogarithmic Descent for Almost All Collatz Orbits in Natural Density
We prove that, in ordinary natural density, almost every positive integer admits a shortcut Collatz iterate of polylogarithmic size within logarithmically many steps, while every iterate up to the same witness remains at most n^(1+beta) for every fixed beta > 0. The result suppli...

Proficient mismatch repair/microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer (pMMR/MSS CRC), which represents the majority of clinical cases, exhibits low tumor mutational burden and minimal responsiveness to immune checkpoint blockade. Disrupting the MMR system has been shown to resensiti...

Encapsulated CsPbBr3 quantum dots with asymmetric chiral magneto-optoelectronic responses
Quantum emitters having non-trivial spin polarizations are highly demanded for chiral quantum devices and quantum photonic technologies. Here we investigate the magneto photoluminescence spectroscopy of perovskite quantum dots encapsulated in silica and report an observation of c...

Patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP) are at significantly increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Traditional VTE risk assessment tools like the Caprini and Padua prediction scores are often underutilized in acute care settings due to their complexity...

The past two decades have witnessed a steady shift in our understanding of chronic inflammatorydisease - from linear cascades to regulated circuits, complete with feedback, amplification, and sus-ceptibility to runaway behaviour. Systems biologists have long emphasised that biolo...

Clinical presentation and outcomes according to KRAS status in advanced non-small cell lung cancer
The goal of the current study was to assess the frequency of KRAS mutation subtypes in a cohort of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). More importantly, we present the clinical characteristics, treatment profile, as well as overall survival (OS) according to KRAS mutatio...

In Africa, Nigeria bears the highest burden of under-five mortality, with an estimated 850,000 under-five deaths from preventable causes reported in 2024. Existing evidence has not applied a time to event approach using recent nationwide data to examine factors associated with ch...

Abnormal activation of a developmental process driven by a bioactive peptide T14, is posited as a key mechanism in the degeneration of the primarily vulnerable nuclei during the prodromal phase of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). We use a range of anatomical, biochemical and genetic app...

Human scFv inhibiting broad coronavirus replication: a pandemic preparedness candidate
The ongoing emergence of zoonotic coronaviruses (CoVs) and the rapid evolution of viral variants underscore the need for broadly active antiviral agents. The relatively conserved S2 subunit of the coronavirus spike protein is an attractive target for developing pan-coronavirus th...

Gastrointestinal bleeding is a clinically important complication after emergency surgery for acute type A aortic dissection. Dedicated postoperative risk-stratification tools for this high-risk population remain limited. We aimed to develop and internally validate an early postop...
