The non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio as a novel marker for periodontitis risk

Periodontitis has been linked to dyslipidemia, but the relationship between the non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) and periodontitis remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate their association and develop a risk pr...

Babylonian Algorithm on Plimpton 322 Links Pythagorean Triples to Golden Ratio — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Babylonian sexagesimal algorithm on Plimpton 322 generates Pythagorean triples using reciprocal pairs, producing near-regular right triangles with side ratios approximating the golden ratio. MATH: - Algorithm: For regular sexagesimal numbers \( p, q \) (with \( p > q \))...

Agricultural Knowledge Systems and Behavioural Determinants of Smallholder Farmers’ Adoption of Underutilised Crops in South Africa

Underutilised indigenous crops (UICs) are increasingly recognised for their potential to contribute to climate-resilient agriculture, dietary diversification, and household food security among smallholder farmers in South Africa. However, evidence regarding farmers’ knowledge, at...

MODEL ADOPTION #1035: REJECT — TG AUTO: New edge proposed: market_maker_reversal — E8 Intelligence Research

DECISION: REJECT ELEMENT: The rule is not compatible with E8 sacred geometry timing. It relies on prior-day high and 5-bar range conditions that operate on a slower, calendar-based timeframe, not the 15s–7m fractal window E8 uses for entry. The 5-bar range condition introduces a...

Impact of early oral-motor intervention combined with kangaroo mother care on feeding outcomes in extremely preterm infants

Feeding intolerance (FI) and immaturity hinder nutritional advancement in extremely preterm infants. While kangaroo mother care (KMC) and early oral-motor intervention (EOMI) show individual benefits, evidence for their combined effect on FI via improved oral-motor function remai...

The Impact of Credit and Insurance on Farmers’ Climate-Smart Agricultural Technologies Adoption: Evidence from Climatic Transition Zone in China

Promoting the adoption of climate-smart agricultural technologies (CSATs) is essential for food security and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, adoption rates remain low. The objective of this study is to reveal the associations between financial instrum...

Investigation of soil arching evolution in piled embankments with three-dimensional trapdoor tests

This study focused on the mobilisation and degradation of three-dimensional soil arching by adopting a matrix trapdoor test device with 144 individually and electrically controlled movable plates to simulate unreinforced piled embankments at different coverage ratios and fill hei...

Broad-Scale Habitat Suitability and Fine-Scale Habitat Characterization of the Cerulean Warbler Using Species Distribution Modeling, Passive Acoustic Monitoring, LiDAR, and Satellite Remote Sensing

Understanding habitat requirements across spatial scales is important for conserving declining migratory species such as the Cerulean warbler. This study integrates data from several forms of remote sensing platforms: automated recording units, airborne LiDAR, and satellite remot...

Post-processing of 3D-scanned welds for a structural simulation-based fatigue life prediction

Abstract The fatigue life of welded components can be assessed using finite element simulations and fatigue damage parameters. The underlying models are often based on idealized weld geometries, although the real-world geometry of hand-welded seams can deviate substantially from...

Beyond No Alternative: IMF Asymmetrical Adjustment and African Resistance in the 1980s

This article examines how the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) asymmetrical approach to structural adjustment in Africa became entrenched during the financial turbulence of the 1980s. Drawing upon unpublished IMF Central Files – including Executive Board minutes, internal corr...

Fluorine-Modulated Reactivity Enables One-Pot Kinetic Sequence Programming of Block Copolyesters

Monomer sequence strongly influences copolymer properties, but direct block formation from a monomer mixture requires a large reactivity contrast. Here, fluorination was used to regulate anhydride reactivity in the cesium pivalate-catalyzed ring-opening alternating copolymerizati...

A case of echinococcosis presenting as a slowly growing isolated neck mass in southern Ethiopia: a case report

Echinococcosis, a zoonotic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus , is a parasitic disease that primarily affects the liver and lungs. However, it can also involve other organs, including the head and neck, although this is extremely rare. We report the case of a 19-year-old...

Use of a Macrokinetic Dose–Response Model for Assessing Permissible Levels of Cu(II) and Ni(II) in Soils of the Norilsk Industrial Region

Abstract— The results of a pot experiment aimed at establishing soil quality standards for the contents of Cu(II) and Ni(II) in different soil types of the southwestern part of Taimyr: podbur, cryoturbated peat gleyzem, raw-humus cryozem, and cryometamorphic gleyzem (Spodic Cryos...

TLR2 mediates cell cycle re-entry and survival of neonatal cardiomyocytes in response to injury

Abstract Unlike adult hearts, neonatal hearts can regenerate and adapt to stress. To identify both cardioprotective and regenerative mechanisms, we compared activated genes and related signaling pathways in the neonatal mouse heart after myocardial infarction (MI) and after expos...

A Gradient-CorrectedPolarizable Continuum Model forImproved Reaction Fields at the SCF Level

Abstract We propose an improved model, termed the gradient-corrected PCM (GCPCM), for improving the energy accuracy of the polarizable continuum model (PCM). Our previous study revealed deficiencies of PCM in describing the reaction field, i.e., the electrostatic potential genera...
