Detection without prediction: an empirical capability boundary for covariance-driven single-perturbation models

Predicting a cell’s response to genetic perturbation from its unperturbed state is a central goal of computational biology. The CIPHER framework derives that response from the gene-gene covariance of control cells (ΔX = Σu) and reports high accuracy. We reproduced CIPHER with its...

Ironing Out Anemia: High Inflammation Modulates Microbial Composition and Indicates the Activation of Cellular Stress Responses in Infected Anemic Infants

Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) is a significant global health challenge impacting cognitive, physical, and behavioral development, particularly in infants. Despite the current knowledge on anemia and its manifestations, the role of the gut microbiome and its relationship with syste...

When extremes sound like the majority: Social signal and norm misperception

Abstract Societies often misperceive their own normative center. Individuals may believe that distinctive, conservative, or ideologically committed positions are more widely shared than they actually are, sustaining pluralistic ignorance even when private attitudes are moderate....

Analysis of bottom hole pressure instability in ultra deep fracture-vuggy type condensed gas reservoirs

Accurate bottomhole pressure is crucial for tracking gas well performance. However, ultra-deep fracture-vuggy reservoirs are characterized by a complex mix of matrix, fractures, and vugs, plus condensate gas phase changes, which makes interpretation difficult. To solve this, unst...

Co-packed metal hydride and phase change pellets enable rapid hydrogen storage and release

Solid-state magnesium-based hydrides provide a promising route toward high-density, safe, and reversible hydrogen storage. However, their practical application is severely limited by inefficient thermal management: heat accumulation during exothermic hydrogenation suppresses reac...

Normalized CutOut in the Non-Abelian Continuum Henstock–Kurzweil Integral: The Cartan Class of Configurations and zeta-Regularization of the Faddeev–Popov Determinant

This is the tenth paper of a programme constructing the Feynman functional integral without a Wick rotation, based on the non-absolutely convergent Henstock–Kurzweil (HK) integral and on Kuelbs–Steadman spaces. Its predecessor formalized the finite-mode non-abelian continuum and...

Effect of Glutathione S‐Transferase and Metallothionein Polymorphisms on Mercury Levels and End‐Stage Renal Disease ( ESRD ) in Colombian Patients

ABSTRACT Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a link between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and environmental mercury (Hg) exposure. Colombia has a well‐documented history of artisanal and small‐scale gold mining, where Hg exposure affects miners and nearby riverside and urban...

Institutional Logics, Empowerment Structures, and the Service Space Production of the Communist Youth League—A Case Study of the “Youth Homeland” Project in City G

This study aims to address a core theoretical and practical question: Under the dual constraints of institutional limitations and resource scarcity, how does the Communist Youth League, as a mass organization, actively produce service spaces to fulfill its service functions? To e...

Food security at the crossroads of conflict and economic priorities: the case of Bukavu, DRC

In Bukavu and other Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) cities, food security faces significant challenges due to rapid population growth, war-driven immigration, and a governmental orientation towards the mineral sector. These issues are exacerbated by the exodus from...

Nanodiamond-like bixbyite FeMnO3 anchored on N-doped graphene for enhanced electrocatalytic detection of the vitamin E analogue Trolox in fruit samples

Accurate quantification of antioxidant compounds is essential for evaluating food quality, antioxidant capacity, and product authenticity. Trolox (TRX), a water-soluble vitamin E analog, is widely used as a reference antioxidant in food analysis. Here, an iron manganese oxide on...

Mathematical curves based TSO feature selection algorithm with decaying perturbation dynamic transfer function for DDoS attack detection

With the rapid development of Internet technology, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks have become one of the major threats in cybersecurity. DDoS attack data typically exhibit large-scale, sparse and class-imbalanced characteristics. A large amount of redundant and irre...

In Pursuit of Quality and Safety: an Eight-Year Study of Clinical Peer Review Best Practices in U.S. Hospitals

This study found that, despite the emergence of a Quality Improvement model for clinical peer review and a high annual rate of program change, only a minority of programs have made significant progress in adopting that model.

Study on the evolution laws of coal spontaneous combustion products and reaction pathways under different oxygen concentrations based on ReaxFF simulation

Understanding the oxygen-dependent reaction behavior of residual coal is important for evaluating its renewed oxidation after oxygen re-entry into sealed fire zones. In this study, temperature-programmed oxidation experiments coupled with gas chromatographic and FTIR analyses wer...

Mapping Potential Transcription Start Sites of the brka Gene on pDO6935 in Escherichia coli Using the ARF-TSS Method

Autotransporters are membrane proteins expressed on the outer membrane in gram-negative bacteria. BrkA is an autotransporter and virulence factor of the whooping cough-causing bacterium Bordetella pertussis. Previous studies aimed at characterizing the autotransporter BrkA have u...

Oxidation-Budgeted Design of Lead-Free RbGeI3 Solar Cells: Back-Surface-Field Enhancement, Realistic Loss Budgeting and SHAP Sensitivity From SCAPS-1D Optimization to Manufacturing Tolerances, Benchmarked Against CsGeI3

The rapid rise of lead-halide perovskite solar cells has been tempered by lead toxicity, motivating a search for lead-free absorbers with comparable optoelec- tronics. Rubidium germanium iodide (RbGeI3) offers a direct, tunable bandgap, strong absorption, and improved environment...

Does Green Supply Chain Partnership Governance Pay Off? An Investigation of the Impact on Corporate Financial Performance

ABSTRACT This study examines whether governance of green supply chain partnerships (GSCPs) using environmental criteria for supplier selection and termination is positively associated with corporate financial performance of focal firms. Drawing on the social capital theory, this...

Quantum Tunneling: Exponential Barrier Penetration and Non-Ideal Measurements in QFT — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Quantum tunneling is a wave-mechanical penetration of finite potential barriers, with the transmission probability governed by exponential decay of the wavefunction inside the barrier; recent QFT work shows "impossible" measurements are mathematically possible but non-id...

Interfacially Regulated MXene‐Based Nanocomposite Membranes for Highly Selective Ion Transport and Salinity Gradient Energy Harvesting

ABSTRACT Achieving high ion selectivity, low membrane resistance, and long‐term stability remains a key challenge in developing two‐dimensional nanomaterial polymer composite membranes, where interfacial interactions critically influence membrane structure and ion transport. Here...

Optimizing urban green spaces to enhance cooling intensity and heat resistance across thermal comfort gradients

Enhancing the cooling intensity (CI) and heat resistance (HR) of urban green spaces (UGS) is crucial for improving urban thermal comfort. However, the cooling effect of these UGS is usually evaluated under a single temperature condition, which may overlook whether the cooling eff...

E8 Harmonic Families as Physical Oracle Strata for the Arithmetical Hierarchy — E8 Intelligence Research
