Machine-learning-Based modelling of multicomponent forward osmosis processes using novel ternary organic draw solutions

Predicting water flux in forward osmosis (FO) systems that use multicomponent organic draw solutions remains a difficult problem This study evaluates whether data-driven models can predict flux for binary mono propylene glycol propyl ether (PGPE) and ternary hydroxypropyl cellulo...

Ento-Linguistics: Language, Ambiguity, and Scientific Communication in Entomology

Ento-Linguistics v1.3.1 is a corpus-custody patch to the v1.3.0 complexity edition. A second exact-text PubMed reconciliation links 59 more archived abstracts to their source records (7,599 of 7,609 now identified; the 10 unreconciled strings stay excluded from headline results),...

Line Configurations in P^3 Whose Symbolic Square Has Initial Degree α(I)+1 Are Coplanar or Pseudostars: A Negative Answer to a Question of Janssen

For a finite union L of lines in P^3 with homogeneous ideal I, let α(I) be the least degree of a non-zero form in I, and let I^(2) be the second symbolic power of I, the ideal of the forms that vanish to order at least two along every line of L; one always has α(I^(2)) ≥ α(I) + 1...

Stage-specific resistance to leaf and neck blast ( Pyricularia oryzae ) in basmati and aromatic rice germplasm: phenotypic and multivariate analysis

Rice blast (Pyricularia oryzae) is a major constraint in basmati rice production. In the present study, 96 basmati and aromatic rice genotypes were evaluated for stage-specific resistance to leaf and neck blast under artificial inoculation (Ludhiana) and natural epiphytotic (Pala...

Is there a threshold for the inseminated progressive motile sperm count in intrauterine insemination? A retrospective cohort study of 564 cycles

Purpose: To examine the association between inseminated progressive motile sperm count (IPMSC) and pregnancy test positivity after intrauterine insemination (IUI), and to identify a useful threshold.Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort study included 564 IUI cycles in...

The Wages of Abolition: Liberation Beyond Labor in Edward Rushton’s West-Indian Eclogues and the Pamphlet War surrounding James Ramsay’s Essay on the Treatment and Conversion of African Slaves

This essay brings together British abolitionist poetry and pro-slavery essays from the 1780s, when British abolition was not yet a foregone conclusion. The examined texts center enslaved people’s rejection of wage labor schemes. When read together, a theory of self-emancipatory p...

Z₂ Topological Invariants of Time-Reversal-Invariant Superconductors via Bloch Mapping — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: The Z₂ topological classification of time-reversal-invariant (TRI) superconductors maps to a Bloch Hamiltonian, yielding one Z₂ invariant in 2D and four in 3D, tied to the eight time-reversal-invariant momenta (TRIM) points on the 3D Brillouin zone torus. | MATH: The map...

Unlocking the potential of nanocellulose: Promising substrate materials for electrocatalysts

Nanocellulose as substrate materials have garnered considerable interest for developing high-performance carbon-based electrocatalysts toward hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution/reduction reactions, due to their many advantages including unique fibrous nanoarchitecture, mass...

Implications of Glucagon‐Like Peptide‐1 Signaling for Hemophilic Arthropathy, Joint Inflammation, and Cartilage Degeneration: A Narrative Review

INTRODUCTION: Hemophilic arthropathy (HA) is a progressive, inflammatory joint disease that develops despite effective control of bleeding in people with hemophilia (PWH). Increasing evidence suggests that HA is initiated and then maintained by a complex cycle of synovial macroph...

Cardiac Reverse Remodeling and Clinical Outcomes Following Angiotensin Receptor‐Neprilysin Inhibitor Therapy in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction

Background Cardiac reverse remodeling and associated clinical outcomes following angiotensin receptor‐neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) therapy in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (EF) remain unclear. We investigated differences in 1‐year echocardiographi...

Generative AI and Workforce Transformation: Developing an AI-HRM Framework for Employee Productivity in Deposit Money Banks Operating in Rivers State

The increasing adoption of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI) is transforming the nature of work, employee roles and human resource management practices across organisations. Deposit Money Banks are particularly affected because their operations involve extensive...

Experimental Signature of Transient Symmetry Breaking in a Cavity Dirty-Limit Superconductor

Abstract Transient states of matter far from equilibrium may exhibit physical properties beyond those allowed by the equilibrium-state crystalline symmetries. We explore ultrafast and direct electronic excitations of transient states in a dirty-limit superconductor with time-reso...

Influence of Soil Particle Size, Shape, and Mineralogy on Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation

Abstract Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) has gained increasing attention as a potential sustainable ground improvement technique. This study investigates the influence of soil particle size, shape, and mineralogy on the MICP process and on the evolution of shear-...

Competition law and sustainable market design: regulating dominant positions to preserve competitive viability in India's telecom and aviation sectors

Purpose This study critically evaluates existing legislations to examine its scope and limitations regarding the sustainability of market design (MD) and effective regulation of abuse of dominant position (ADP) to protect consumer sovereignty in India. It aims to identify princip...

Is Aging a Failure to Resolve? Integrating Damage Responses, Regenerative Decline, and Geroscience Interventions

Biological aging is accompanied by persistent tissue-damage signaling, chronic inflammation, extracellular matrix remodeling, cellular senescence, and declining regenerative capacity. Taken together, these features resemble an injury response that is repeatedly initiated but fail...

WeatherAgent-SAM: Text-Grounded Agentic Tool Selection for Robust SAM Segmentation

The Segment Anything Model (SAM) provides a versatile promptable segmentation interface, but adverse weather and image degradation can obscure visual cues and substantially reduce its accuracy. Existing approaches mainly follow two directions to mitigate this issue. The first ada...

An efficient micropropagation protocol for Syrian sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) from the Qalamoun region

Sumac ( Rhus coriaria L.) is a valuable medicinal shrub native to the Mediterranean, but its populations in Syria have sharply declined due to overexploitation and poor natural propagation. This study aimed to develop an efficient micropropagation protocol for Syrian sumac from t...
