Political emotions shape preferences for leaders’ facial traits: anger favours dominance, fear favours trustworthiness

Political emotions may shape not only which issues citizens prioritise, but also which social traits they value in leaders. Here we tested whether anger and fear elicited by real political issues differentially influence preferences for political leaders’ facial traits. A balance...

Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Ammonia‐Based Reduction of Natural Hematite

Using hydrogen gas for iron ore reduction offers carbon‐neutral ironmaking, but scaling up faces safety and energy challenges. Ammonia is a safer carbon‐free hydrogen carrier with higher energy density and ease of liquefaction. This study investigates the characteristics of ammon...

Multi-Objective Distributed Operating Room Scheduling in Collaborative Hospital Networks: Balancing Operating Costs, Patient Deterioration, and Patient Utility

Collaborative hospital networks are hospital groups that collaborate to provide healthcare services and share medical resources. They are an important part of the accessibility and efficiency of healthcare delivery. Nevertheless, existing research pays limited attention to multi-...

Cognitive Assessment Speech Dataset for Alzheimer's Patient Cognitive Screening

Early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a critical challenge in clinical practice. Standardized cognitive assessment instruments provide structured evaluation across cognitive domains, but their automation using artificial intelligence is limited by the lack of struct...

Horizons, landscapes, grounds and worlds: an integrated information environments framework

Purpose This paper addresses a theoretical gap in understanding geographic mobility in information practices by proposing an integrated spatial framework. It examines how place and mobility shape information access among vehicle residents by connecting four place-based, spatially...

Structure-aware feature-to-image encoding with convolutional neural networks improves peer-to-peer credit default prediction compared with conventional tabular models

Abstract Background Peer-to-peer (P2P) lending has expanded rapidly, exposing individual investors to credit default risk typically absorbed by traditional bank intermediation. Methods This study proposes a hybrid deep learning framework for credit default prediction using 1,335,...

Texting for Connection in an “Always-On” Society: Roles of Content, Availability Pressure, and Emotional Fatigue

Texting is the most ubiquitous form of computer-mediated communication, but its ability to satisfy relational needs in an always-on society remains under scrutiny. This study examines how message content and psychological context—specifically emotional fatigue and availability pr...

Coincidence index and the support of rational orthogonal matrices

For a rational orthogonal matrix, let Σ be the index of the integer vectors that it maps to integer vectors, and let m count its nonintegral columns. We prove the sharp universal inequality m ≤ 2Σ and classify its equality cases under independent signed row and column permutation...

Building capacity for short food supply chains through food processing workshops: Experience from the Horizon Europe RURBANIVE project

Background Short food supply chains (SFSCs) are increasingly recognised as a means of improving the sustainability, resilience and economic viability of local food systems. However, many farmers and small-scale food producers lack the technological knowledge required to develop v...

NITYA SEVANIYA AAHARA DRAVYAS: A REVIEW OF DAILY CONSUMABLE FOODS IN AYURVEDA

Introduction: Ayurveda emphasizes healthy living through appropriate diet and lifestyle. Nitya Sevaniya Aahara refers to wholesome food substances recommended for regular consumption to support health and prevent disease. Aim: To review the classical concept of Nitya Sevaniya Aah...

Bitwise-Correct and Faster Top-k on TPU v4

When jax.lax.top_k is called inside a Pallas kernel on TPU, Pallas's official implementation returns duplicate indices if the input contains -inf, and a source comment states that the behavior is kept on purpose because fixing it would be too expensive. We test whether this trade...

The Successor Without Cold Zones One Window, and Why Coexistence Is a Necessary Condition for Both Sides

Abstract This paper organises results from the author’s series into a five-step argument. Step one: the loop of silicon-based systems currently passes through humans; when it stops doing so is decided by the tail of the removal costs of the hardest human links, not by the level o...

HIOF • Education — Paper 0: Before Becoming a Score

Holographic Information Ontological Framework: Education (HIOF-E) This is a short, non-technical companion to the eight-paper HIOF-E series (Papers 0 to VII, Version 1.0). It is written for readers in education, sociology of credentials, or the philosophy of measurement, not for...

(Short Paper14) Quantum Biological Redefinition of Mitochon dria in the In Vivo Analog Quantum Synchronizer (BioQPU) Paradigm: Clock Generation via High Membrane Potential Shielding and ATP Synthase Rotation, Selective Decoherence, and Phase Noise Rejection Model

Mitochondria, the primary site of energy production in eukaryotes, have traditionally been interpreted merely as a chemical ATP supply source. However, the physiological significance of the massive electrostatic field of approximately −180mV maintained by its inner membrane and t...

E8 Phi-Resonant 240‑Root Vector Harmonic Lock at 132 Hz — E8 Intelligence Research

By aligning the 240 E8 root vectors with phi‑scaled harmonics of the 132 Hz carrier, a self‑synchronizing lattice emerges that locks transient market highs and lows into a three‑day retest cycle. The phi‑gated interpolation channels between adjacent golden‑ratio shells encode a d...

Electroanalytical and Computational Investigation of Oxoammonium-Mediated Hydride Transfer

Abstract Oxoammonium-mediated hydride transfer is an important yet relatively underexplored elementary step in C–H functionalization. In this work, we employed cyclic voltammetry (CV) to measure the rates of hydride transfer between electrochemically generated oxoammonium catalys...

Nighttime Light and Thermal Environment Jointly Affect Urban Vegetation Phenology

Rapid urbanization has significantly impacted plant growth rhythms through increased surface temperatures and enhanced artificial light at night (ALAN). However, the effects of thermal environments and ALAN on urban vegetation phenology (UVP) remain unclear, limiting our knowledg...

A Multidomain Feature Fusion–Based GRU-Transformer Framework for Damage Identification of Truss Bridges

Abstract In complex operational and environmental conditions, structural vibration signals are typically characterized by inherent non-stationarity and nonlinearity. Traditional convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with single-feature extraction struggle to comprehensively captur...
