Sharp Finite Zero Bounds for One-Parameter Separated Polynomial Systems

Let k >= 2 be even. We determine the largest finite real solution set of a separated system f_i(x_i) = g_i(t), 1 <= i <= m, with all degrees at most k. The maximum is k^2/4 for m = 1, and m(k-1)k^m/4 for m >= 2. The upper bound follows from a weighted count of isolated feasible p...

A chemically etched D-band waveguide orthomode transducer for CMB measurements

Abstract This study presents a prototype D-band waveguide orthomode transducer (OMT) fabricated using chemically etched brass platelets. This method offers a fast, cost-effective, and scalable approach for producing such devices above 100 GHz, making it well-suited for current an...

Digital capabilities relate to sustainable performance in Saudi SMEs through technological capabilities and eco innovation

Abstract Digital transformation offers Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) opportunities to improve sustainability, although individual technologies may show different patterns of association with organizational capability development. Drawing on the Resource-Based View and...

TRIP13 protects LDHA from FBXW7-mediated degradation and drives glycolytic plasticity in colorectal cancer

Abstract Background Metabolic plasticity enables colorectal cancer (CRC) cells to survive hypoxic and therapeutic stress. Lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) is a key regulator of glycolysis and lactate production, yet the mechanisms that maintain LDHA protein stability in CRC remain...

TRUST-Campus: Evidence-Aware Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Reliable University Information Access

TRUST-Campus presents an evidence-aware Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework designed to improve the reliability of university information access by distinguishing between retrieved evidence that is relevant to a question and evidence that is sufficient to support an an...

Assessment of trend, pattern and predictive factors determining infant mortality among the tea garden labour community of Assam, India

Abstract Background Infant mortality characterizes a critical public health concern in developing country like India, with considerable disparities across socio-economically marginalized and deprived communities. Despite widespread research at the national and state levels, inade...

Valorization of Beetroot and Watermelon by-Products as Functional Ingredients Targeting Nitric Oxide Pathways: Implications for Cardiovascular Health

Abstract Purpose of the Review Food loss and waste represent major challenges for food systems, while fruit and vegetable by-products generated during processing are underused sources of bioactive compounds with potential applications in functional food development. The present r...

A dual-branch spatiotemporal dynamic residual fusion network for rolling bearing fault diagnosis

Rolling bearings are key components in rotating machinery. Their fault signals are often affected by noise interference, overlapping impulsive components, and multiscale feature coupling, which create difficulties for feature extraction and condition recognition. To improve the a...

A roadmap for clinical-grade manufacturing of hiPSC: standardized methodologies for reprogramming, expansion, characterization, and biobanking of hiPSC

There is a critical global need for tissue for transplantation in patients with organ failure or degenerative diseases, which often have limited or no treatment options. Cell therapy using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) represents a promising alternative to restore...

Managing Multi-Generational and Age-Diverse Teams: A Paradigm Shift Beyond Stereotypes

The contemporary workforce is commonly described as an unprecedented amalgam of five distinct generations: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z. This narrative, while popular in management literature and media, rests on a foundation of questi...

Quantum Violations of CHSH-3 Inequality via Tensor Product Hilbert Spaces — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: The CHSH-3 inequality extends the standard CHSH framework to three measurement settings per party, with quantum violations computable via semidefinite programming; the Hilbert space structure underpinning these violations is the tensor product of local Hilbert spaces, wi...

When do hedonic appeals backfire? Credibility, scepticism and the disconnect between emotional engagement and pro-environmental intention

This study examines why emotional engagement with hedonic sustainability communication does not always translate into pro-environmental behavioural intention. Drawing on the Persuasion Knowledge Model and Truth-Default Theory, it investigates consumer responses to pleasure- and c...

Exploring gender-based harassment: A qualitative study of female drivers' experiences in Tabriz, Iran

Background Gender-based harassment refers to unwanted verbal, non-verbal, or physical behaviours directed at women because of their gender. A safe and accessible road traffic environment is essential to ensure equitable mobility for women. In road traffic environments, harassment...

From natural beauty appreciation to green lifestyle: the roles of environmental inspiration, green self-identity, and nature connectedness

Drawing on Self-Determination Theory, this study examines how natural beauty appreciation is associated with green lifestyle through environmental inspiration and green self-identity, while considering nature connectedness as a boundary condition. Using a four-wave time-lagged su...

Submicroscale and Molecular Insights into Labile Organic Matter Transformation and Sequestration at Newly Formed Iron Minerals–Water Interfaces during O2-Mediated Fe(II) Oxidation

Abstract Abiotic Fe(II) oxidation and subsequent precipitation are key pathways for controlling labile organic matter (OM) dynamics in O2-perturbed subsurface environments, yet the underlying coupling mechanisms remain poorly understood. Herein, OM transformation and sequestratio...

Shape Classification of Failure-Sets in Stationary Linear Filters

A filter specification fixes a tolerance R² on the error variance and asks under which operating conditions the error exceeds it. As one parameter varies (observation precision, noise correlation time, sampling interval, process noise or a design parameter), the answer is a set,...

LAB #4157 NEUTRAL: LEDGER BENCH: Apply filter: USDCHF LONG — improves win rate from 32.6% to 39.7% (+7.1pp, n=146) — E8 Intelligence Research

IDEA: Adjustment made to the live model — verify against the backtests: Apply filter: USDCHF LONG — improves win rate from 32.6% to 39.7% (+7.1pp, n=146) SAME-WINDOW EFFECT: Over the current live window, the USDCHF LONG filter would have had zero direct impact — none of the 10 li...

Soft imperfect interface models accounting for inertial effects, viscosity, and damage

This paper presents new results on the modeling of interfaces in viscoelastic media, taking into account inertial effects and damage evolution. The approach relies on an asymptotic expansion method to derive effective interface models from full three-dimensional descriptions of a...
