The Emergence of One-Person Companies as Human–AI Socio-Technical Systems: Evidence from AI Ecosystem Density in Chinese Cities

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) now allows a single founder, working with a cluster of AI agents as “digital employees,” to run a venture that once required a team. We call this form the one-person company (OPC) and treat it as a human–AI socio-technical system with a “1...

Vitality Measurement and Smart Governance Strategies for Marginal Communities in Suzhou: A Study Based on the Vision of an International and Modern People-Oriented City

Accelerating the construction of an international, modern, and people-oriented city, Suzhou often faces bottlenecks in its peripheral communities. These open spaces suffer from rapid vitality decline, extensive governance, and weak resilience, which directly hinder residents’ dai...

Posttraumatic Stress Dynamics and 15-Year Persistence in Great East Japan Earthquake Survivors

Importance Long-term persistence of posttraumatic stress reactions (PTSRs) is a major public health challenge, yet early prognostic markers for decadal outcomes remain poorly characterized. Specifically, the importance of early symptom fluctuations compared with initial cross-sec...

Role of Life’s Essential 8 in the association of night shift work with cardiovascular disease and mortality: a prospective cohort study of UK Biobank participants

Background: Night shift work is linked to higher risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality, but mechanisms remain unclear. Lifestyle, captured by the American Heart Association's Life's Essential 8 (LE8), may act as a modifiable mediator. We aimed to examine the associa...

Chemical Diversity and Microbial Complexity of Liupao Tea Aroma: A Comprehensive Review

Liupao tea (LPT), one of China’s representative fermented dark teas, develops its unique “red, heavy, aged, and mellow” flavor characteristics. This review provides a comprehensive update on LPT aroma, integrating analyses of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), associated microorg...

Impact of Horizontal Tail Position on Turbulence Transition Around Vertical Tail

The research and development of natural laminar flow (NLF) wing designs can minimize airframe drag. This investigation extends to the design of NLF vertical tails for a reference subsonic civil aircraft under cruise conditions. Although parameters unrelated to design are treated...

Trends in vaccination in pharmacy and medical settings among Medicaid recipients in the United States, 2018–2023: a claims analysis

BACKGROUND: Medicaid beneficiaries typically have low vaccination rates, in part due to limited access. Pharmacies provide easy-to-access locations for vaccination. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of trends in pharmacy-based vaccination by age and r...

Production-Type-Specific Spatial and Space–Time Clustering of High-Pathogenicity Avian Influenza Outbreaks in Layer and Duck Farms in the Republic of Korea, 2020–2026

High-pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) remains a recurrent threat to poultry production in the Republic of Korea, but production-type-specific clustering has rarely been assessed against the underlying farm population. This retrospective unmatched case–control point-pattern st...

HGD–GSR: A Structural Residual Test of Galaxy Dynamics — Locked Definitions, Multi-Phase Robustness Audit, and SPARC-Internal Validation

The HGD–GSR program investigates a residual-information question in galaxy dynamics: after published baryonic contributions are subtracted under a locked mass-to-light prescription, does a compact descriptor of radial baryonic organization retain measurable information about dyna...

Cloud-assisted IoRT framework for latency-aware analytical kinematic control of a six-DOF robotic manipulator

Abstract The Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT) has introduced new possibilities for distributed and scalable robotic control by combining industrial manipulators with cloud-based computation and networked communication infrastructures. However, the deployment of cloud-assisted ro...

Data Pipeline Development for Logistics AI

Data Pipeline Development for logistics AI enables real-time data processing, smarter predictions, and AI-driven automation across supply chain operations.

When algorithms don’t care: physiotherapy and the post-professional turn

Physiotherapy has long resisted the forces that restructured manufacturing, journalism, and finance. This resistance is ending. Drawing on Gilles Deleuze's prescient analysis of societies of control, this paper argues that physiotherapy - along with the orthodox health profession...

Changes of Precipitation Extremes and Persistence Over the Tibetan Plateau Projected by a Convection‐Permitting Model

Abstract Extreme precipitation has increased over many regions in recent decades, but the simulation and projection remain particularly challenging over complex terrains, such as the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Here, we investigate the future changes in precipitation extremes and persi...

Correcting Turnbull’s (1983) characterization of Nash equilibria in affine supply function competition

Abstract Turnbull (Econ Lett 13: 253–258, 1983) describes unique symmetric Nash equilibria for supply function competition under demand uncertainty which consist of affine strategies that are nonlinear. For the same economy Klemperer and Meyer (Econometrica 79: 1919–1966, 1989) d...

Analysis of the Influence of Selected Parameters of a Cold Crucible Induction Furnace on Its Electrical Efficiency

This publication presents the results of numerical simulations concerning changes in the cold crucible design, the influence of the cold crucible melting process parameters, and the impact of the computational model on electrical efficiency and, consequently, on energy savings. T...

CCL2 in Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Context-Dependent Cross-Cellular Node Serving as Biomarker and Therapeutic Target

C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) interacts with cytokines, adipokines, miRNAs, and multiple synovial cell populations. Experimental studies indicate that these interactions can form a CCL2-associated inflammatory amplification network across cell types. In cellular and animal...

Research on Fault Identification and Decision for UHV Bushing Based on Knowledge Graph Rule Reasoning and Inductive Graph Convolutional Network

To address the challenges of integrating multi-source heterogeneous data, fragmented fault knowledge, and the limited capability of traditional rule engines in recognizing edge cases for ultra-high voltage (UHV) bushing fault diagnosis, this paper proposes a fault identification...

Addressing Barriers to Health Care Access and Their Impact on Social Cohesion Among Rohingya Refugees and Host Community in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh: Protocol for a Qualitative Study

Abstract Background Access to health care remains a critical issue in protracted forced displacement contexts globally. In Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, the co-existence of Rohingya refugees and the host community for many years has generated complex health care dynamics. While humani...

Gut Microbiota Signatures and Ecological Network Alterations Associated with Hemodialysis

Hemodialysis (HD) is the most widely used renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and is frequently accompanied by long-term complications that impair quality of life, including metabolic and inflammatory disturbances. Growing evidence suggests...

From Precursors to Perception: A Unified Framework for Flavor Formation in Roasted Oilseeds

ABSTRACT Roasted oilseeds and their derived oils are globally valued for their characteristic aroma profiles, yet the chemical basis underlying seed‐specific flavor identity remains fragmented across commodity‐focused and method‐dependent studies. This review synthesizes current...
