Developing Empirical and Graphical Indices for Fire-Induced Spalling of Concrete

Abstract Fire-induced spalling remains an ongoing concern for concrete structures exposed to fire conditions as existing predictive methods struggle to achieve reliable predictions. To bridge this knowledge gap, this study proposes a methodology to develop empirically driven indi...

Quantum pyramidal cosmology: emergent universe from ternary quantum chaos

Comprehensive Edition v9 of Quantum Pyramidal Cosmology (QPC) — a self-consistent model in which the observable Universe emerges from ternary quantum chaos. This edition adds rigorous information-theoretic foundations for the Aura Functional via quantum relative entropy, establis...

Rethinking Administrative Software Procurement in Medium-Sized Universities: A Socio-Technical Case Study of Embedded In-House Development

Universities increasingly rely on administrative information systems that combine proprietary third-party software, legacy applications, and in-house tools adapted over time to changing regulatory requirements. Such changes are frequent, cumulative, and cross-cutting, and may con...

Effect of inter- row spacing and seed rate on growth; Yield and yield components of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum - graecum L.) in Tehuledere district, Northeastern Ethiopia

Fenugreek ( Trigonella foenum-graecum L. ) is well-adapted for growing in northeastern Ethiopia due to its ideal agro-climatic conditions. Despite its potential, limited research has been conducted in Ethiopia to improve the productivity of this orphan crop particularly regarding...

Population Dynamics and Extractive Potential of the Mangrove Crab, Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763), in a Human-Impacted Mangrove of Northeastern Brazil

Ucides cordatus, a key species in Brazilian mangroves, supports both ecological processes and traditional extractive practices. Some mangrove areas in Northeastern Brazil are increasingly exposed to anthropogenic stressors. We evaluated the population density, size structure, ext...

Classification of Positive Rational Reflection Maps for the Relativistic Collision Yang--Baxter Map

We classify positive jointly rational parametric reflection maps for the one-dimensional relativistic collision Yang--Baxter map, without imposing a degree or birationality hypothesis. There are exactly three families. Two preserve one of the light-cone momenta and allow an arbit...

Enterprise Knowledge Representation — Working Definition

Enterprise Knowledge Representation (EKR) is proposed as a technology-independent enterprise capability for creating, relating, governing and evolving purposeful representations of selected operational knowledge. This Working Definition V0.1 establishes the initial public definit...

Trustworthy Digital Auxiliary Processes for Sustainable Energy Utilization: A Targeted Process-Oriented Review and Conceptual Evidence-to-Review Framework

Sustainable energy systems increasingly rely on digital auxiliary processes that convert telemetry, forecasts, diagnostic evidence, and operating rules into reviewable information for authorized human decision-makers. This targeted review develops a transparent and traceable conc...

Modulation of Noradrenaline-Induced cAMP Production in HEK-293 Cells by Insulin

Abstract— The first messengers regulate cellular functions by involving surface receptors coupled to diverse intracellular signaling pathways. Those do not function completely independently, and an increasing body of evidence argues for the existence of crosstalk between signalin...

Effect of Dynamic Disulfide Linkages on the Blend Rheology of Polyurethane/Eri Silk Fiber Composite and Thermal Performance

ABSTRACT The study demonstrates a polyurethane (PU) and Eri silk blend with excellent performance in ultra‐low temperature conditions, highlighting its potential for extreme cold environments. PU is a versatile polymer known for its ability to be formed into various structures, m...

Association Between Changes in Perceived Neighborhood and Cognitive Performance Within Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity Across the Life Span (HANDLS) Black Adults

Perceived neighborhood characteristics are related to cognitive performance. However, limited studies have examined how changes in neighborhood characteristics relate to cognitive performance, particularly among Black adults who are likely to experience changes in their residenti...

A Clinical and Laboratory Comparison of Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV) and Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV): Two Cases of Herpesvirus Meningitis in Immunocompetent Adults and a Literature Review

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are uncommon causes of aseptic meningitis in immunocompetent individuals. We report two cases of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-confirmed viral meningitis caused by VZV and EBV in previously healthy young adults and compa...

Mined 1809 lottery+quantum breakthroughs. Extracted 13591 leads across 13 categories. 11584 high-value leads found. Categories: {"CORRIDOR": 1133, "FORMULA": 976, "GEOMETRIC": 726, "FORWARD_ATTEMPT": 1186, "QUANTUM": 1401, "TIMING": 208, "CELESTIAL": 1062, "GEMATRIA": 1133, "CONS...

WDR4-mediated m7G modification of ZBP1 mRNA drives peri-implantitis by promoting M1 macrophage polarization

Abstract Objective Macrophage polarization exerts a vital role in the progression of peri-implantitis. RNA methylation serves as an important regulator of macrophage polarization. However, reports on the role of N7-methylguanosine (m7G) regulators in peri-implantitis are scarce....

MRI-based radiomic models of subchondral bone for predicting the occurrence of knee osteoarthritis

To extract the MRI-based radiomic features of subchondral bone, and establish multi-regional radiomic models and delta-radiomic models for predicting the 2-year risk of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The data used in this study were obtained from the osteoarthritis initiative (OAI)....

A hybrid time-weighted dynamic time warping and TKNN classifier for paddy rice mapping using time-series Sentinel-1 SAR data

Accurate rice extraction is essential for agricultural monitoring. However, traditional methods using Euclidean Distance (ED) or Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) are limited by noise sensitivity and ignoring temporal order. This paper proposes a new method combining Time-Weighted Dynam...

Redefining Success and Characterizing Midterm Growth Modulation: Analysis of Radiographic Outcomes in 2 Years Following Vertebral Body Tethering.

Background: Vertebral body tethering (VBT) offers fusionless correction for idiopathic scoliosis, yet midterm growth modulation remains poorly characterized. This study established a clinically relevant success criterion and characterized growth modulation kinetics with associate...

Simpler Graph Conditions for Embedding Tetrahedral Meshes

Three-dimensional Tutte-style embedding methods turn graph conditions into guarantees for tetrahedral meshes. Alexa's theorem excludes both K_6 and K_(3,3,1) as graph minors and asks whether the second exclusion is necessary. We prove that it is redundant for a precisely defined...
