Abstract Hedging, neutrality, multi-alignment, coalition-building, de-risking, and strategic autonomy are commonly treated as means by which weaker actors can preserve freedom of action amid competition among larger powers. These strategies often rest on an implicit open-world as...

Background Western US forests face rising high-severity fire risk motivating increased investment in forest management. The high cost of treatments and vast areas needing work require efficient resource allocation. Forest landscape models can help scale up analysis and support ma...

This work presents a radical deconstruction of the physical and computational paradoxes intrinsic to General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics in the vicinity of the black hole event horizon. By highlighting the original sin of contemporary mathematical formalism and the IEEE 754...

Spectral Characteristics of Impulsive Schrödinger Equations With Boundary Spectral Parameter
ABSTRACT In this paper, we investigate the spectral properties of an impulsive Schrödinger equation under an impulsive condition. First, we find the Jost solution and some special solutions of the problem. Using these solutions, we give the resolvent operator of the impulsive pro...

Explicit Two-Variable Bases and the Single-Equation Problem for iEx-Logic
We study Ex-algebras, which capture the common sequent validities of Heyting algebras and orthomodular algebras with Sasaki implication. Over the fixed fundamental-algebra base in the original signature {meet, join, implication, 0, 1}, we prove a two-local representation theorem...

Abstract Objective: This analysis examines the relationship between diagnostic uncertainty, observable clinical reasoning, and preceptor judgment. Background: A major difficulty in assessing psychiatric nurse practitioner students exists when a clinical presentation supports no c...

To improve the accuracy of carbon emission accounting results during the construction of asphalt pavement and composite pavement, and clarify the differences in their carbon emission levels during the construction stage, this study developed a comparative life cycle assessment mo...

Transforming federal emergency management: a new agenda for Canada
Abstract Canada’s emergency governance model no longer aligns with a risk environment shaped by accelerating climate change and increasingly complex multi-hazard events. Recent federal/provincial/territorial strategies acknowledge these growing pressures but have not materially r...
- BiologyOpen access
Abstract Stiffness is a key mechanical cue of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and biomaterials in tissue engineering. It plays a pivotal role in regulating cellular behaviors and determining cell fate through specific mechanotransduction pathways, including integrin‐mediated signa...

Knowing English and being able to teach it are not the same thing
conception that knowing English automatically qualifies one to teach it, while effective language instruction requires a distinct and well-developed set of pedagogical competencies. This study holds significance. Many wrongly assume that simply knowing English automatically makes...

In all life on Earth, ATP synthase, phosphate metabolism, and Posner molecule clusters (Ca9(PO4)6) are extremely highly conserved. In this paper, overcoming the metaphor that views life as a “computer” computing specific algorithms, we position the universality of this infrastruc...

FINDING: Algorithmic randomness and Kolmogorov complexity intersect with the golden ratio via stable self-application, revealing a deep link between prefix-free computation and irrational recurrence. | MATH: Prefix complexity \(K(x)\) satisfies \(K(x) \leq K(x|y) + K(y) + O(1)\);...

The Boardwalk Empire Paradox examines an apparent contradiction in the human experience of solitude: why can the same empty room, under seemingly identical physical circumstances, be experienced as loneliness, freedom, or both? Inspired by Blaise Pascal's philosophical critique o...

Objectives: In 2024, an increase in human parvovirus B19 (B19) infections among pregnant patients resulting in severe fetal complications highlighted the lack of routine surveillance methods for nonreportable infections. We examined the utility of electronic health record (EHR) d...

Patient, care partner, and clinician perspectives on a “good day” with dementia
Abstract INTRODUCTION Outcome measures such as home time and institution‐free days have been proposed for use in intervention assessment among persons living with cognitive impairment (PWCI) and dementia. How well these measures capture perspectives on quality of life in dementia...

This short paper redefines the divergence into the plant and animal kingdoms from the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA), overcoming the metaphor that regards life as a “computer” computing specific algorithms, from the perspective of the “in vivo analog quantum synchronizer (...

Ephemeral Verifiable Benchmarking for AI Systems
(Abstract, 1:1):Static benchmarks suffer from contamination, gaming, and saturation: their fixed items become known or reused. We propose Ephemeral Verifiable Benchmarking (EVB): each test book is generated fresh on demand from abstract mathematical schemas, independently verifie...

Diabetes‐Associated Cognitive Impairment: Pathophysiology and Emerging Therapies
ABSTRACT Diabetes‐associated cognitive impairment (DACI) is a common yet underrecognized condition, manifesting along a spectrum from mild cognitive impairment to dementia. DACI encompasses patients who develop vascular dementia (VaD) or Alzheimer's disease (AD) with diabetes as...

The 240 E8 root vectors can be partitioned into 100 constrained vectors (whose resonance follows the Rogers-Ramanujan partition constraints) and 140 unconstrained vectors (whose harmonic behavior follows standard integer partitions), with the 132Hz boundary acting as the critical...

The Interstitial Homeostatic Early-Warning System: Rethinking Preventive Laboratory Testing
Preventive laboratory testing primarily identifies established metabolic abnormalities, organ dysfunction, or systemic inflammation. This Perspective proposes that some pathological processes may first produce detectable disturbances within the tissue interstitium before conventi...
