DETECTION OF VIRULENCE AND ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE GENES IN SOME BACTERIAL ISOLATES FROM DUMPSITES- A REVIEW

Dumpsites remain a major environmental and public health concern, particularly in developing countries where inadequate waste management systems encourage the widespread use of open dumping. These sites receive mixed municipal, industrial, medical, and pharmaceutical wastes, crea...

IDEA: AUTO VIDEO SCOUT — evaluate this trading strategy video for the swarm: VIDEO: "The Trading Strategy That Made Me $3,000 in a Week (Quarterly Theory Full Breakdown)" by Bucko Trades — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGJDNFYFkb4 (duration 1240s, 1925 views; found via search '...

MODEL ADOPTION #986: REJECT — LEDGER BENCH: Apply filter: XAUUSD LONG @ ASIAN with 5 conf — improves win rate from 31.6% — E8 Intelligence Research

DECISION: REJECT ELEMENT: The rule "XAUUSD LONG @ ASIAN with 5 conf" fails because it is a regime-specific filter with tiny sample (n=21), no out-of-sample validation, and zero trades in the current window — it adds no concrete, testable edge compatible with E8 geometry timing. T...

The measure half of the 2n+1 problem

Let F_0,...,F_{n-1} be Borel self-maps of a standard Borel space X, and let G_F be the graph they generate. We prove that the total measurable chromatic number of G_F is at most 2n+1 for every n, answering the measure half of Problem 5.14 of Kechris and Marks with the optimal con...

Characterization of Solid Electrolyte Interphases on Carbon-Based Negative Electrodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries: Methods, Artifacts, and Correlative Workflows

Solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) characterization is needed to interpret the performance, degradation, and lifetime of graphite and Si-containing carbon-based negative electrodes in lithium-ion batteries. However, SEI claims are often difficult to compare because measured signa...

Evolutionary Hyperparameter Optimization of Machine Learning Classifiers for Gallstone Disease Prediction

This study investigate whether evolutionary hyperparameter search can meaningfully improve classifier performance for gallstone disease (GSD) diagnosis. Working from a cohort of 319 patients described by 38 clinical and demographic variables, we split the data into training (80%)...

Comprehensive Addendum: First-Principles Axiomatic Proof of Reciprocal Duality in Inverse-Square Fields and the Mathematical Uniqueness of f(x) = x^-2 - x^2

This comprehensive addendum establishes a complete axiomatic framework grounded in First Principles to resolve the long-standing singularity and divergence crises in inverse-square physical fields. By synthesizing the cognitive bias of "linear inertia," the metric distortion prod...

Number and Magnitude as Independent Factors in Measurement: A Disclosure of Claims and Status

This is a dated disclosure, not a finished paper. It records the claims of a programme provisionally named CPNAHI (Calculus, Philosophy and Notation of Axiomatic Homogeneous Infinitesimals), states each claim's evidential status, identifies the prior art known to the author, and...

Discrete approximants, spectrum, and a variational bridge toward the canonical Laplacian on the Menger sponge

This paper develops a reproducible discrete approximation program for the normalized local-symmetric Laplacian on the standard Menger sponge established in Paper A 1.1. It constructs both nodal and cell-based graph approximants, fixes their energy scales through geometrically def...

VIDEAT, an Operational System for Rapid Assessment of the Macroseismic Intensity of Earthquakes in Italy, with Estimates of Fatalities and Economic Loss

Abstract We present Valutazione dell’Impatto e Degli Effetti Attesi del Terremoto—assessment of the impact and expected effects of the earthquake, a system that provides a time-evolving assessment of earthquake effects in Italy in terms of macroseismic intensity, by combining the...

The Animistic Architecture of Nī-āla-giri: Deconstructing Friction Ignition, Material Vessels, and Sacred Forestry Shrines of the Primordial Baḍugaru

For over a century, ethnographic paradigms tracking the Nilgiri Massif have localized prehistoric high-altitude animism and sacred ritual networks almost exclusively within the Toda (Tōtst) community, while positioning the Baḍuga (Baḍugu) majority within an imported, post-1565 CE...

Targeted sequencing provides genetic insights into familial cardiovascular disease among young adults in a high consanguinity population

Background Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) account for approximately 19.8 million deaths annually, with coronary artery disease (CAD) as a major contributor. Genetic factors play an important role in CVD development. Genetic risk can be attributed to monogenic and polygenic risk v...

A joint geophysical-geochemical deep-mantle zoning map beneath East Africa and the Indian Ocean

Geochemical signatures of hotspot lavas suggest that their mantle sources are compositionally distinct, but their source locations remain elusive. Mapping hotspots to their deep origins is complicated by the presence of interconnected, low–seismic velocity networks in the mantle,...

Operationalizing a library makerspace in Nigeria: lessons from the University of Lagos library

Purpose This study aims to investigate the transition of makerspaces from concept to practice within Nigerian academic libraries, using the University of Lagos (UNILAG) Library Makerspace as a case study. It examines the emergence and operationalization of the makerspace, the fac...

Theory of mind and social competence in preschool children with cochlear implants: relationships with language proficiency

This study examined receptive and expressive language proficiency, Theory of Mind (ToM), emotional expressiveness, and social competence in preschool-aged children with cochlear implants (CIs) and age-matched typically hearing (TH) peers. Thirty-two children with CIs and 32 TH ch...

Passive constructions in translation

Abstract This paper presents a corpus-based analysis of passive constructions and their translation from English and German into Catalan. The analysis is grounded in a systematic categorization of the construction families in the three languages and their translation corresponden...

Genichi Taguchi: A celebration

Abstract The Japanese pioneer's role in bringing statistical thinking to engineering has led to reduced costs and improved quality. Tim Davis and Huw Williams of the RSS Statistical Engineering Section show their appreciation

Synergy or Negative Synergy? Foreign Acquisition and Firm Productivity in Japan

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the impact of cross‐border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) on the post‐acquisition productivity of domestic firms. New panel data on the entry, duration, and exit of acquired domestic firms are constructed to measure the post‐acquisition period...

The Acceleration of Time: an Illusion or an Indicator of the Field? Time-Spatial Critique of Relativistic and Social Dynamics

Developed within the interdisciplinary framework of The Reconceptualisation Epoch project, this paper presents a radical physical and natural-philosophical deconstruction of relativistic and socio-dynamic paradigms regarding the nature of time. The author translates the subjectiv...

A Novel n-Hexadecane-Degrading Bacterium Provisionally Named “Thermalkanevorax longiformis” Isolated from a Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vent

Hydrothermal systems contain diverse alkanes derived from biological and geological processes, providing potential carbon and energy sources for microorganisms. However, cultivated thermophilic alkane-utilizing bacteria from hydrothermal environments remain poorly characterized....
