Local markets, unilateral effects & dominance theories of harm: the Q-Park/Tazbell off-street parking merger

The article contributes to the merger control literature in local markets differentiated by location (i.e. geographic proximity) by demonstrating that even where unilateral effects are unlikely because the merging parties are not close competitors, competition concerns may still...

Beyond scenic tea tourism: Reframing therapeutic experience through enabling places

This study conceptualizes therapeutic experience in tea tourism as relationally assembled through material, social, and affective enabling resources. Drawing on a constructivist grounded theory study conducted in Wuyishan, China, we identify nine enabling resources and three enab...

Groups with Finitely Many Normalizers of Some Large Subgroups

Abstract In this paper, the structure of uncountable groups with finitely many normalizers of large subnormal subgroups is studied and the behaviour of the Wielandt subgroup of such groups is investigated; moreover, groups having only finitely many normalizers of large non-subnor...

An Adaptable Quality Control Framework for Platelet-Rich Plasma as a Blood-Derived Product: A Multicenter Real-World Study

Background and Objectives: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) composition and activity vary with patient-related factors, medication exposure, and preparation procedures. We developed an adaptable manufacturing quality control score (QC-Score) framework and retained clinical outcomes as...

Magnetically Actuated Microrobot for Drug Delivery: Current Progress and Challenges

Magnetically actuated microrobots have emerged as promising wireless platforms for targeted drug delivery, offering active navigation, deep‐tissue accessibility, and externally programmable therapeutic release at length scales inaccessible to conventional medical devices while re...

Analysis of the Chemical Profile of the Essential Oil from Leaves and Cones of Four Varieties of Humulus lupulus Cultivated in a Subtropical Climate Under Edaphoclimatic Conditions

Cultivating Humulus lupulus L. under subtropical conditions is challenging because hops are adapted to temperate climates, where environmental factors influence plant development and secondary metabolism. This study evaluated the essential oil yield and chemical composition of co...

Complementing Engel Classification: Postoperative Scalp EEG as an Objective Indicator in SEEG ‐Guided Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation—A Seizure‐Onset Pattern‐Based Stratified Analysis—

BACKGROUND: Stereoelectroencephalography-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (SEEG-RFTC) is a minimally invasive therapy for drug-resistant focal epilepsy. However, the relationship between specific seizure-onset patterns (SOPs), particularly low-voltage fast activity (LVFA),...

A Social Network Analysis of the Structure and Leadership Roles of a Drug Trafficking Group in China: A Case Study

Despite the proliferation of social network analysis (SNA) in criminological research, our understanding of criminal leadership remains heavily skewed toward Western organized crime group models. This study contributes a descriptive case study of an underrepresented context by ex...

Impact dynamic buckling of graphene platelets reinforced functionally graded rods

The dynamic buckling behaviours of functionally graded (FG) rods reinforced with graphene platelets (GPLs) under axial impact are comprehensively analysed using the energy method, with particular emphasis on explicitly accounting for the effects of stress wave propagation. The ef...

Eco-Colonialism and the Subversion of Indigenous Space in G. N. Devy’s A Nomad Called Thief

Existing scholarship on Adivasi marginalisation has examined criminalisation, forest governance, linguistic exclusion, mobility, and development-induced dispossession, but their interconnected spatial effects remain insufficiently explored. This article argues that these processe...
