Digitalization of academic activities as a nexus of sustainable development of university education in Nigeria

This study examined the digitalization of academic activities as a nexus for the sustainable development of university education in Nigeria. The study specifically sought to determine the extent to which digitalization of academic activities predicts sustainable development in un...

Sunlight and Circuit Entropy: Entanglement as Geometric Statistical Law — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Sunlight-based quantum entanglement (no laser) and hybrid quantum circuit entanglement dynamics both confirm entanglement as a statistical/geometric phenomenon, not merely a particle-level curiosity. | MATH: Entanglement entropy scaling in hybrid circuits follows \( S \p...

Time-modulated intelligent reflecting surfaces for integrated sensing, communication and security with generative artificial intelligence design

We propose a physical layer security approach for integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems, where targets may act as eavesdroppers. A time-modulated intelligent reflecting surface (TM-IRS) preserves data integrity at legitimate communication users (CUs) while scramblin...

Supply chain resilience research and the automotive industry: review protocol

This project holds the review protocol for a two-part study of supply chain resilience (SCRES) research: a bibliometric analysis of the Scopus-indexed SCRES literature published between 2008 and 2025, and a PRISMA 2020-guided systematic review of the automotive sub-corpus, coded...

Optimising sequential electrodeposition to control structure and pseudocapacitive performance in PEDOT/MnOx electrodes

This work systematically investigates how PEDOT and MnOx deposition parameters affect the electrochemical performance of sequentially electrodeposited composites by independently varying the growth potential and synthesis charge of each layer. The PEDOT underlayer transformed the...

G2 Self-Duality and Golden Ratio: No Proven Link Found — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: The search results are a scattered collection of video titles and one arXiv abstract — no direct evidence of a proven link between G2 Lie algebra self-duality and the golden ratio. The only concrete mathematical content is the arXiv paper on Frobenius Lie algebras and sl...

Individualized multimodal pain management for chronic perineal pain

Rationale: Persistent perineal pain is a challenging clinical condition that may substantially impair sleep, urination, daily activities, and psychological well-being. Accurate assessment and individualized multimodal management are essential for improving symptom control and pat...

Comparative Analysis of Multimodal GANs for Cross‐Modal Information Retrieval

ABSTRACT Cross‐modal information systems have emerged as an important area of research that enables information retrieval in different modalities such as text, image and audio. Existing Cross‐modal retrieval methods focus on semantic consistency between modalities but rarely cons...

Contributions of smoking behaviour to lung cancer subtypes

Smoking is an established cause of lung cancer (LC), but the relative causal contributions of whether a person ever smokes and how heavily they smoke across histological subtypes remain uncertain. This study investigated the causal effects of smoking status and smoking intensity...

Strategies for Handling Missing Serum Lactate When Identifying Septic Shock in ICU Databases: A Plasmode Simulation Study in Alberta ICUs and MIMIC-IV

Septic shock is defined by a serum lactate of 2 mmol/L or more measured around the time of suspected infection, but ICU databases often lack a lactate in that window. Studies exclude such patients, use a value measured at another time, predict it or impute it, and the choice chan...

TXNIP/PINK1 Mitophagy Axis Promotes Th17 and Bone Loss in Diabetic Periodontitis

Introduction and Aims Diabetic periodontitis (DPD) is characterised by severe alveolar bone loss refractory to conventional therapies. Hyperglycaemia drives Th17-mediated inflammation, yet the underlying immunometabolic mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the...

Co-commitment by distinct parties, certification gated on re-executing the record's rule, and non-author approval before merge in 25 GitHub repositories

A decision can stand when only one party committed to it: a merged software change, an authorization, an oversight verdict. A valid signature shows which key asserted a value. It does not show that anyone else took part. This paper specifies a determination that exists only when...

Contrasting Cannabinoid Receptor 2 (CB2R)-Associated Responses in Two Different Cerebrovascular Endothelial Cell Lines in a Blood Brain Barrier Model in the Context of HIV

Despite the success of suppressive antiretrovirals, infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is associated with several comorbidities which include negative consequences to the central nervous system (CNS), where disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a major und...

Nuclear BbAtg8 interacts with BbMac1 as a transcriptional modulator to sustain nuclear copper homeostasis during conidial germination

Pathogenic fungi endure host impose copper starvation by tightly coordinating trace metal homeostasis. However, how pathogens synchronize endogenous metal recycling with exogenous copper uptake to promote infection remains enigmatic. Using the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria ba...

The Vaginal and Rectal Microbiome Profiles of Chronic Pelvic Pain Patients Cannot Delineate Chronic Pelvic Pain With and Without Endometriosis

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is defined as the persistent or recurrent pain in the pelvic region lasting for six months or longer. It is a heterogeneous and multifactorial condition, with endometriosis representing one of its major gynecological causes. However, diagnosing endometri...

A directed probability current in the vorticity–strain alignment state space of homogeneous isotropic turbulence

A stationary distribution can rest on balanced exchange between states, or it can conceal a steady circulation through them. Beneath the familiar occupancies of the vorticity–strain alignment in homogeneous isotropic turbulence, we find the second: a directed probability circulat...

Profile Study on Different Patterns in PMMA Bilayer Resist Configurations Under 20 keV Electron Beam Exposure

Electron beam lithography (EBL) using bilayer resists is influenced by electron scattering, proximity effects, resist thickness, pattern density, and exposure dose. Optimization based only on the top-view critical dimension does not capture linewidth variation through the develop...

What a highly monitored chikungunya epidemic reveals about preparedness for Europe and beyond

The 2024–25 chikungunya epidemic in Reunion Island illustrates the challenge of translating early warning into timely public-health action during fast-moving arboviral outbreaks. Despite advanced surveillance, the epidemic accelerated rapidly and placed substantial pressure on pr...

Pasture Management and Mineral Fertilization on Soil Properties, Plant Nutrition, and Biomass Production of Urochloa decumbens in Tropical Lixisols

Pasture management and mineral fertilization are key factors influencing soil fertility and pasture yield. However, their effects on the soil properties of Lixisols in the Brazilian semi-arid region, and their subsequent impact on Urochloa decumbens biomass production, remain unc...

Quantum Interference Reveals Unexpected Golden Ratio Symmetry — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Golden ratio (φ) emerges unexpectedly in a quantum system's interference pattern, contradicting standard quantum mechanical predictions. | MATH: φ = (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.6180339887; reciprocal φ⁻¹ = 0.6180339887; phase angle 36° = π/5 radians (since cos(36°) = φ/2 ≈ 0.809016994)...
