Observation as Access: A Quantum Traction Theory Dissolution of the Measurement Problem
When does a laboratory record belong to the source, and when does it belong to the measurement camera? Master equation: source, physical access operation, and laboratory camera. This paper treats observation as a finite access operation rather than an observer-dependent event: \[...

We present a decisive statistical analysis of gravitational wave events from the GWTC-3 catalog to test the predictions of the PPL space model against standard General Relativity (GR). While GR predicts a continuous inspiral-merger-ringdown waveform with a smooth amplitude peak,...

Prior Use and the Distribution of Observational Capacity in State-Dependent Governance
A governing rule whose content depends on the dynamical state of the system it governs requires that the state be determined. Where the system exhibits a critical value above which ordinary conduct produces irreversible foreclosure, the determination that the system has approache...

The Sword of Truth: Why the Pinocchio Chameleon has such a Long Nose
Deep in the lush rainforests of central eastern Madagascar, where waterfalls whisper secrets and ferns dance in the mist, lives achameleon so flamboyant it could moonlight as a carnival performer. Calumma pinocchio Glaw & al., 2025, the so-called Pinocchio chameleon, is a small b...

The Default College: How Racialized Messages Impact Black Student Perceptions of HBCUs and PWIs
Abstract This study used interviews with 20 Black graduate and undergraduate students, Critical Race Theory, and Calmore's Racialized Space Framework to investigate how historical and societal racial narratives shape the messages Black students receive about HBCUs and PWIs. It al...

VOC observations improve transferable ozone prediction using interpretable machine learning
Abstract Surface ozone variability is controlled by complex interactions among emissions, chemistry, and meteorology, yet the extent to which machine learning models capture chemically meaningful relationships remains uncertain. Here we apply an automated machine learning framewo...

A cfDNA fragmentomics-based liquid biopsy assay for early detection of oral cancer
Abstract Background Early detection of oral cancer improves outcomes, but remains limited by the invasiveness and low sensitivity of current screening methods. Methods This study included 342 participants (200 in the training and 142 in the validation cohorts). Plasma cfDNA under...

Keeping and Breeding Karoo Dwarf Tortoises (Chersobius boulengeri)
Karoo dwarf tortoises belong to the group of so-called dwarf tortoises. The former genus Homopus, which included all five extant species of dwarf tortoises, was divided into the genera Homopus and Chersobius in 2017 (Hofmeyr et al., 2017). The genus Homopus now contains the speci...

Puff-faced and proven – Masked Water Snake (Homalopsis buccata) in Captivity
Herpetoculturists familiar with the family Homalopsidae will inevitably be acquainted with the puff-faced water snake (Homalopsis buccata Linnaeus, 1758). The author acquired an initial specimen of H. buccata in the summer of 2005; however, the broader herpetocultural potential o...
