Applying a Novel CLDD Lossless Snubber for SEPIC Converters

This paper proposes a CLDD lossless snubber for application in SEPIC converters. Unlike conventional designs, this snubber employs no active components, utilizing instead two diodes, a snubber inductor, and a snubber capacitor to reduce switching losses and enhance efficiency. Th...

Proof of Qiu Lupeng Conjecture(Part 1)

This paper studies the Qiu Lupeng Conjecture (Beautiful Equalities Conjecture).We discuss a Diophantine equation with infinitely many terms on the left-hand side.Using modular arithmetic modulo 2, modulo 3 and modulo 5, we analyze parity and remainder conditions for integer solut...

Experimental studies of heat transfer regimes with boiling crisis in a vertical channel at high heat fluxes

The results of experimental studies of heat transfer during water boiling in a vertical heated tube with a diameter of 0.013 m and a length of 2.6 m are presented. The studies were conducted in the following ranges of variation: pressure from 4 MPa to 16 MPa, mass velocity from 1...

Synthesis of Sulfonic Acid-Functionalized Al 2 O 3 /Poly(BMA-co-SMA-co-DAP) Resin and Its Rapid Selective Adsorption of Chlorinated Hydrocarbons in the Oil Phase

Chemical additives introduced during the crude oil extraction stage can easily lead to elevated levels of organochlorine compounds, causing problems such as equipment corrosion and catalyst poisoning. Here, we explore a novel sulfonic acid-functionalized Al2O3/P(BMA-co-SMA-co-DAP...

Gravity‐driven double emulsion droplet formation: Interfacial dynamics and stability control

Abstract Gravity‐driven double emulsion droplet formation in a hydrocarbon‐ammonia column is industrially important yet poorly understood. By combining high‐speed imaging with adaptive‐mesh‐refinement volume‐of‐fluid simulations, a distinct oil‐coating route is revealed: a prefor...

A Sharp Three-Cycle Bound for Two-Zone Affine Systems with a Virtual Focus

We prove that a planar two-zone piecewise-affine system with a straight switching line, two strict off-line foci, and at least one virtual focus has at most three isolated crossing limit cycles. The estimate includes nonhyperbolic cycles and every switching offset. Known three-cy...

Biomarker and Bioorthogonality Dual‐Locked Chemiluminescent Probes for Cancer Urine Test

ABSTRACT Bioorthogonality‐activatable optical imaging activates caged or quenched probes via bioorthogonal reactions for disease diagnosis. Although chemiluminescence enables low‐background detection, it has rarely been applied to bioorthogonality‐activatable imaging. Here, we sy...

A fixed-time fuzzy control framework for spacecraft based on disturbance estimator and guaranteed performance

This paper studies spacecraft attitude tracking issue under actuator faults and external disturbances. A dynamic estimator reconstructs the lumped disturbance without differentiating the measured attitude-rate signal. The estimation error decays exponentially for constant disturb...

System-Level Feasibility Analysis of Reconstructed Technological Processes (SLF-RTP): A Methodological Approach to Testing End-to-End Feasibility in Historical and Engineering Reconstructions

This paper presents the methodological framework System-Level Feasibility Analysis of Reconstructed Technological Processes (SLF-RTP), intended for system-level analysis of the feasibility of reconstructed technological processes, primarily in historical, archaeological, and engi...

E8 Consciousness Resonance Principle: Φ Maximization at Golden-Mass Scales — E8 Intelligence Research

The integrated information Φ of a system reaches local maxima when its mass aligns with specific E8 root vector activation bands, such that the mass-scaled coherence time τ ∝ M^(φ‑1) equals the inverse of the 132 Hz base frequency multiplied by φ^n. At these discrete golden-mass...

Differentiating the Review of Related Literature and Related Studies

Abstract The terms Review of Related Literature (RRL) and Review of Related Studies (RRS) are widely used in academic research, yet their meanings and structural relationship remain inconsistently understood. This qualitative exploratory study examined how graduate students and r...

Roution V3.1: Language-Specific Marker Grammar in Profile-Guided JP/EN Observation Planes

This paper reports the V3.1 correction and extension of Roution, a framework for measuring how black-box language-model responses move across route-marker profiles under controlled wording and observation operators. The contribution is not merely that a Japanese profile was expan...

From PCOS to PMOS: navigating the nomenclature revolution clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic implications for the Indian reproductive medicine landscape

Abstract In May 2026, a global consensus of 56 academic, clinical, and patient organisations formally renamed Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), following a 14-year international process and more than 14,000 survey responses (1)....

Self-harm and suicide attempts among adolescents and young adults in Japan: a registry-based analysis of the Japan Registry of Self-Harm and Suicide Attempts (JA-RSA)

Abstract Aim Although overall suicide mortality in Japan has declined, rates among young people have increased. Understanding the characteristics of self-harm and suicide attempts among adolescents and young adults is important for prevention. This study analyzed data from the Ja...

Synchronization in Probability of Reaction–Diffusion Neural Networks Under Stochastic Sampling Governed by Infinite Discrete Distributions

This paper generalizes stochastic sampled-data synchronization of reaction–diffusion neural networks (RDNNs) from sampling distributions with finite support to infinite discrete distributions, whose sampling intervals are drawn from a countably infinite set {qi}i=1∞ with probabil...

Impact of the Thoracic Surgery Optimization Program on Postoperative Recovery in Esophagectomy Patients

Background: Esophagectomy is associated with an extended clinical course and a challenging, prolonged recovery. Prehabilitation programs aim to improve postoperative outcomes, particularly in complex surgeries like esophagectomy. This study evaluates the implementation and feasib...
