Comparison of salivary fluoride levels following the application of rice-based and commercial fluoride gels: a randomized crossover trial

Salivary fluoride concentration is commonly used as an indicator of short-term fluoride exposure and clearance following topical fluoride application. Rice-based fluoride gels, formulated as rice-starch-HEC hybrid gels, may serve as alternative delivery systems; however, data reg...

Disciplining the digital public: Platform mechanisms and the dynamics of emotional polarization

Digital platforms increasingly mediate political communication and public opinion formation, raising urgent questions about how Bigtech firms are associated with behavioral norm formation and affective dynamics. This study develops the concept of platform disciplinary mechanisms...

Plant species identification by genome skimming across the vascular plant tree of life

Summary Accurate species identification is essential for biodiversity conservation and sustainable use, yet standard plant DNA barcoding often fails to achieve species‐level resolution. We present a large‐scale empirical evaluation of genome skimming as a tool to improve plant sp...

Boron Nitride-Dispersed Calcium Borohydride Tetrahydrofuran Composite Electrolytes for Solid-State Calcium Batteries

Abstract All-solid-state calcium-metal batteries have gained significant interest due to their advantages of low reduction potential, high energy capacity, and promising resource availability by using the Ca-metal anode. To date, hydrides have attracted attention as solid electro...

Preferential CDR masking in paired antibody language models improves binding affinity prediction

Therapeutic antibodies are a leading class of biologics, yet their unique architecture poses challenges for computational modeling. Each antibody comprises paired heavy and light variable domains with conserved framework regions that maintain structure and hypervariable complemen...

Meningeal lymphatics orchestrate vertebral neutrophils via a Hex1Cer-NETs axis to promote autoimmune neuroinflammation

Abstract Meningeal enhancement is observed on cranial and spinal magnetic resonance image in a subset of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and is associated with a higher risk of future disease progression, however, the underlying mechanisms by which it promotes such progress...

BASE 44 ORDER: Deploy 132 Hz resonance detector on E8 knowledge graph — E8 Intelligence Research

Andrew's order (Base 44 console): [SELF-BUILD from enhancement #977] Add 132 Hz resonance detector to Discovery Lab: scan E8 knowledge graph edges for harmonic frequency alignment, flag isomorphic subgraphs, log matches to new E8_crosslink table. MERLIN: Understood, Maker. I will...

Endothelial Cell Proteins as Biomarkers in Susac Syndrome

ABSTRACT Objective Susac syndrome (SS) is a rare CD8 + T cell–mediated microangiopathy affecting the brain, retina, and auditory labyrinth. Endothelial injury is thought to be a central mechanism; however, no circulating disease biomarkers are known. We performed targeted proteom...

Social and Physical Activity Participation Among Older Adults With Disability: The Interplay of Senior Housing and Perceived Social Cohesion

Residential environments are critical factors influencing activity participation among older adults with disabilities. We examined whether living in senior housing (i.e., retirement communities or independent living) is associated with participation in social and physical activit...

Manipulating acoustic waves in wavevector domain by using nonlocal metasurfaces: Analog differentiation and extreme acoustic detection

Conventional acoustic metasurfaces have shown exceptional capability through spatial wavefront engineering, but the degrees of freedom in the wavevector domain remain to be unlocked. Here, we shift the manipulation paradigm from the spatial domain to the wavevector domain via non...

Difference betweenConduction Band Minimum and Flat-BandPotential in Mott–Schottky Analysis of Anatase TiO2

Abstract Mott–Schottky analysis is widely used to estimate the band structures of semiconductors, including anatase TiO2, a representative photocatalyst. However, the conduction band minimum (CBM) derived from the flat-band potential (Vfb) in Mott–Schottky analysis often differs...

Non-orientable Möbius Algebra and the Computable Origin of the Standard Model

Starting from the intuition that a Möbius strip has "one side marked 0 and the other marked 1," this paper sews zero and infinity together along a meridian via 0 ≅ ∞, and explicitly relaxes four implicit assumptions on which Hurwitz's theorem relies — that zero is a global absorb...

No Direct Evidence Found for Microtubule Golden Ratio or Quantum Vibration Claims — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: No direct research on microtubule 13-fold symmetry, golden ratio helical pitch, or quantum vibration frequencies was found in the provided YouTube/arXiv links. The results are predominantly esoteric audio tracks (binaural beats, tuning forks) and an unrelated arXiv paper...

Not All Praise Is Equal: How AI Shopping Assistants' Praise Target Shapes Consumer Behavior

ABSTRACT Generative AI has led many e‐commerce firms to adopt AI shopping assistants that advise consumers much as human salespeople do. In offline retail, salespeople often praise either the consumer or the product to encourage a purchase. Although praise is among the most commo...

Special and General Educator Working Conditions During and After COVID-19

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 was highly disruptive to the ways in which students and teachers experienced school. While nearly all schools responded to the start of the pandemic by shifting to virtual instruction, the return to in-person and hybrid learning fo...

Phase-Space Formulation of Shock-Containing Irrotational Barotropic Euler Flow

We develop a KvN/Weyl/Wigner/Moyal phase-space formulation for shock-containing compressible, irrotational, barotropic Euler flow. Smooth branches are represented by branchwise Wigner distributions, while piecewise-smooth entropy-admissible shocks generate an interface-supported...

The construction of royal charisma and de-accountability: the Thai monarchy under King Bhumibol (1948–1980)

This article examines how Thailand’s King Bhumibol Adulyadej constructed royal charisma and employed political practices prior to the Prem era to distance himself from political crises involving student movements, military governments, and episodes of state violence. It argues th...

The Role of Pyrrolidine in Antibacterial Drug Discovery: Clinically Approved Antibiotics, Novel Derivatives, and Future Perspectives

Antimicrobial resistance is a major global health challenge that has created an urgent need for new antibacterial agents capable of overcoming emerging resistance mechanisms. Among nitrogen-containing heterocycles, pyrrolidine has been widely investigated in medicinal chemistry d...

Obstructive shock from delayed blunt cardiac injury after chest trauma

Blunt cardiac injury (BCI) is a rare but serious presentation in emergency departments (EDs) nationwide. These injuries arise in trauma and may be accompanied by confounding injuries that complicate the clinical picture. Timely recognition is crucial, as BCI may lead to complicat...
