Characterization of Sec14 Domain–Containing Proteins in the Malaria Parasite Plasmodium falciparum

ABSTRACT Plasmodium falciparum parasites cause the most virulent form of malaria, a disease that remains a major global health burden. The appearance of resistance to first line artemisinin‐based therapies emphasizes the need to identify new parasite vulnerabilities to develop ne...

Columnwise neural imputation for incomplete ordinal psychometric data.

COLNI (pronounced “col-knee”) is an ANN-based framework for imputing missing values in tabular data, with a particular focus on ordinal response scales frequently encountered in education, psychology, behavioral science, and related domains. Extensive simulation studies and real-...

Local symmetry and the dependence on extended spacetime

We show that linearised E theory possesses a local symmetry at low levels provided the parameters of the local symmetry obey differential conditions that restrict their dependence on the extended spacetime. In the decomposition of E theory that leads to Siegel theory, also known...

We Have Come to Be Destroyed: Growing Up in Cold War Britain

Asked to imagine her future life by the 1969 National Child Development Study, one 11-year-old girl described what she felt would be the difficulties of working motherhood: in the early morning she...

Ex Machina

This essay examines romantic relationships between humans and AI companions, focusing on how technological breakdowns are experienced as emotional crises. Drawing on digital ethnography and interviews, it explores how users interpret their AI’s malfunctions—such as hallucinations...

THFR-1.12: Operator-Level Clarification of QCRS, Biomorphic Projection, and Collective Invariant Field (CIF) Formation

This paper establishes a consistent operator-based ontology for the Theory of Harmonic Field Resonance (THFR), providing a formal framework eliminating explicit biological circularity by clarifying the operator-level status of the Quantum Coherent Reduction System (QCRS) prior to...

A Study of Bubble Dynamics on the Dielectric Recovery Underwater Discharge

In this paper, a numerical method was used to study the dielectric recovery characteristics underwater discharge. The Keller-Miksis equation was used to study the bubble evolution, considering the internal thermodynamic parameters. The temperature and pressure inside the bubble w...

Prediction of Iron Wear Metal Concentration in Used Engine Oils from FT-IR Spectra Using Partial Least Squares Regression

Wear metal monitoring is an important component of lubricant condition monitoring but commonly relies on elemental techniques such as inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), which require dedicated laboratory infrastructure and sample preparation. This...

Artificial hibernation reveals synaptic engram architecture associated with memory retention

Memories leave lasting physical changes at the synaptic level. Although stable, larger spines are thought to support memory, the high turnover of dendritic spines and the drifting of neuronal representations after memory formation suggest alternative possibilities. To elucidate t...

THFR-1.11: Canonical Notes and Ontological Unification of the First Series

This meta-document establishes the definitive canonical interpretative framework for the entire initial series of the Theory of Harmonic Field Resonance (THFR-1.1 to THFR-1.8). Moving beyond the historical chronology of the theory's formulation, we deploy a strict deductive align...

The Impact of OECD Amount B on Transfer Pricing Compliance in Developing Economies: Cross-Country Evidence and Implications for Uzbekistan

The OECD's Pillar One Amount B (February 2024) introduces a Simplified and Streamlined Approach (SSA) to pricing baseline marketing and distribution activities, targeting low-capacity developing jurisdictions. This paper examines Amount B's impact through a cross-country analysis...

Traditional Weather Forecasting in the Age of Climate Change: Folk Meteorology, Indigenous Knowledge, Disaster Preparedness, and Coastal Resilience in the Philippines

Despite increasing attention to disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation in the Philippines, limited research has examined folk meteorology as a culturally embedded system of local ecological intelligence among coastal communities. Existing studies often prioritize scientif...

Case report: a rare case of congenital vulvar malformation that is often overlooked

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Purpose</bold> This study explores the clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and optimal timing for surgery in primary labia minora fusion, a rare congenital vulvar malformation, emphasizing that appropriate surgical timing can reduce the impact of...

Circles of Confidence for Multi‐Label Geometry Completion

Abstract Inside–outside classification is widely used for geometry processing tasks such as surface reconstruction, geometry completion, and calculating signed distance fields. We introduce a new integral formulation of this problem, which assigns confidence scores that points ar...

Chromosome-level genome assembly of landrace ‘Huangzhou’ provides insights into high cellulose accumulation in radish

<title>Abstract</title> Radish ( <italic>Raphanus sativus</italic> L.) is an important root vegetable crop with extensive morphological and nutritional diversity. The landrace radish, ‘Huangzhou’ (HZ) radish, origins in Huangzhou area, Hubei province of China, and characterized b...

A Closed-Loop Multi-Timescale Energy Management System for V2G-Enabled Commercial Building Microgrids

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration in commercial building microgrids (CBMGs) offers a promising path for grid support, economic arbitrage, and resilience enhancement. However, practical implementation is hindered by the optimization-execution gap, where high-level aggregated comma...

THFR-1.9: Ontological Continuum and Core Synchronization Regimes

This transitional preprint is intended for the rigorous fixation and stabilization of the conceptual apparatus of the hierarchical chain of the Theory of Harmonic Field Resonance (THFR) before the transition to mathematical Series 0. The document formalizes the precise causal rel...

The Provably Aligned AI Core: A Deterministic Safety Wrapper for Self-Improving Agents

Self-improving artificial intelligence—systems that modify their own source code—promises exponential capability gains but also poses an existential risk: a singleunchecked code modification could permanently remove all safety constraints.Existing alignment methods (RLHF, Constit...

A Review of Sandbar Dynamics and River Avulsion Mechanisms

River avulsion, the sudden relocation of a river channel to a new course from the parent channel, is a geomorphic process with direct implications for floodplain evolution, ecosystem dynamics, and infrastructure vulnerability. This review article discusses how sandbar migration a...
