Graph theoretic simulation based approach for urban traffic optimization using Hamiltonian inspired routing and sector based time staggering in Vellore

Urban traffic congestion, particularly in medium-sized cities, remains a significant problem in rapidly expanding cities. By using a graph-theoretic modeling approach based on Hamiltonian-inspired sector routing and sector-specific time schedules, this study aims to improve traff...

Shaping science and society through law: Governance logic and public roles in the revised Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Popularization of Science and Technology

In this article, the 2002 and 2024 revised editions of the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Popularization of Science and Technology (“the Law”) are examined to explore how the state shapes the science–society relationship. Relevant explanatory reports on the revision...

Acceptance of AI-based human resource practices: Sectoral differences between technology-intensive and traditional industries

This study examines employee acceptance of AI-based human resource management practices in technology-intensive and traditional sectors. Data were collected from 360 employees, with 60 participants from each of six sectors. Biotechnology, information technology, and manufacture o...

Thermodynamic carbon-deposition behavior and mitigation-pathway comparison in decarbonized blast furnace gas–coke oven gas–natural gas mixtures

In low-carbon blast furnace ironmaking, heating mixtures of decarbonized blast furnace gas, coke oven gas, and natural gas provides a route for preparing hydrogen-rich reducing gas, but carbon deposition remains a critical constraint. This study combined Gibbs free energy minimiz...

Integrative multi-omics analysis implicates RSAD2-associated CXCL1–CXCR1/2 signaling in tumor–macrophage communication and progression of endometrial cancer

Immunotherapy in endometrial cancer (EC) faces challenges due to patient-specific heterogeneity and biomarkers linking tumor-intrinsic programs to the tumor microenvironment remain limited. This study aimed to identify immune-related prognostic factors and investigate the role of...

Persistent lower urinary tract symptoms as an underrecognized presentation of posterior urethral valves

Abstract Background Posterior urethral valves (PUV) are the main cause of lower urinary tract obstruction in boys. Although usually detected prenatally or in early infancy, up to 25% of cases are diagnosed later in childhood [1]. The aim of this study is to examine the associatio...

Instruments for Assessing Professional Reasoning in Occupational Therapy: A Systematic Review

Following PRISMA-COSMIN 2024 guidelines, this systematic review assessed the quality of evidence for quantitative instruments (OMIs) designed to measure professional reasoning in occupational therapy students and professionals between 2016 and 2025. Thirteen OMIs (~1,500 particip...

Sociology according to sociologists in contemporary Brazil

This essay reconstructs a historical-cognitive panorama of sociology in contemporary Brazil, revisiting the discipline’s research agenda as it has been practiced and conceived since the 1990s. To address the problem in a multidimensional way, we explore a range of primary materia...

Heat dissipation performance analysis of a novel bionic gradient air-cooled fin based on radial groove shape for high-speed on-off valve

The high-speed on-off valve (HSV) is a core component of digital hydraulic systems (DHS). Continuous high-voltage excitation causes a significant increase in coil temperature (up to 353.15 K), reducing system performance and reliability. This paper examines the impact of fin shap...

On the Algebraic Birkhoff Conjecture for Outer Billiards on the Sphere and the Hyperbolic Plane: A Corollary of Theorems of Glutsyuk

Bolsinov, Matveev, Miranda and Tabachnikov (Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A, 2018) asked to prove the algebraic version of the Birkhoff conjecture for outer billiards on a non-Euclidean surface of constant curvature. We observe that it follows from published theorems of A. Glutsyuk. Let γ...

More Than Marketing: Exploring the Link Between Social Media Marketing and Customer Engagement Through Bibliometric Analysis

Social media has become a primary channel through which firms reach customers and sustain relationships with them, yet the literature that links social media marketing (SMM) to customer engagement is spread across many outcomes, platforms, and terms. This study maps that literatu...

DDX3X forms a complex with METTL3 to promote glioma progression via tumor immune microenvironment remodeling

Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) is the key catalytic subunit of the N6-adenosine methyltransferase complex regulating N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of mRNA in mammalian cells. Although METTL3 expression is elevated in multiple cancers, the regulatory mechanisms are stil...

Research progress on mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes in cardiovascular diseases

With population aging and lifestyle changes, cardiovascular diseases, as one of the leading causes of death and disability, continue to show a rising incidence rate. Despite ongoing advancements in existing pharmacological treatments, interventional procedures, and surgical proce...

Synthesis, Characterization, and Application of Cyclam‐Based Metal Complexes on Antibacterial Coatings

ABSTRACT Zinc(II) and copper(II) complexes supported by trans ‐disubstituted cyclam ligands were quantitatively prepared and fully characterized. The Zn(II) complex [{H 2 ( 4‐CF3 PhCH 2 ) 2 Cyclam}Zn(CH 3 COO)](CH 3 COO) revealed significant antibacterial activity against both Gr...

Vegetation structural change and carbon–water functional responses across arid Central Asia: spatiotemporal patterns and environmental associations

Anthropogenic climate change is intensifying ecological stress in arid Central Asia, where vegetation structure and carbon–water-related functional responses are strongly constrained by water availability and atmospheric demand. Yet structural greening does not necessarily imply...

Comparative analysis of multiple stakeholder perspectives on the benefits of school-based therapy dogs at a special education school

Abstract One response to the academic and mental health struggles of youth has been the introduction of therapy dogs in school settings. Animal-Assisted Services (AAS) describe processes where trained and registered dogs and their handlers collaborate with educational professiona...

DEVELOPMENT AND STRUCTURAL ELUCIDATION OF NOVEL AZOMETHINE DERIVATIVES WITH POTENT ANTIMICROBIAL PROFILES: AN IN-SILICO MOLECULAR DOCKING AND ADMET STUDY

The therapeutic efficacy of existing antimicrobial agents is severely challenged by the global rise of multidrug-resistant pathogens. Azomethine derivatives (Schiff bases) represent a crucial class of pharmacophores with extensive biological applicability. In this study, a series...

Multiple dimensions of taxonomic tree diversity reveal complementary effects of environmental filtering and land-use legacy in an urban Atlantic Forest

Abstract The Brazilian Atlantic Forest is a highly diverse ecosystem that has been extensively fragmented by human activities, making secondary urban forests important for biodiversity conservation. However, the influence of environmental filtering and land-use legacies on taxono...

Methane mitigation for climate goals: A life-cycle review of source control, recovery, destruction and removal from the atmosphere

Methane mitigation is often evaluated by sector or by reactor performance, although deployment changes energy, food, waste, and wastewater systems beyond the point of treatment. This critical review evaluates prevention, recovery, destruction, and atmospheric removal within a com...
