Phi-Resonant E8 Topological Waveguide for Lossless 8‑D Propagation — E8 Intelligence Research

By coupling the 132 Hz base frequency to phi‑scaled E8 root vectors, the antinodal channels self‑align into a coherent 8‑dimensional waveguide. This alignment transforms the exponential decay of tunneling amplitudes into a topologically protected Bloch mode, enabling lossless tra...

Comparative life cycle assessment of the local agri‐food product Lagenaria siceraria and soybean seeds from Côte d'Ivoire

Abstract Sub‐Saharan Africa's structural protein deficit is increasingly met through imported soy, and diversification towards local sources is advocated on nutritional and food‐security grounds. Whether such substitution delivers an environmental benefit is not self‐evident, sin...

Identification and Engineering of a β-1,3-Galactosyltransferase for Efficient Lacto- N -Tetraose Production

Abstract Lacto-N-tetraose (LNT), a major human milk oligosaccharide, is of growing interest for functional food applications. Microbial production of LNT is limited by the low catalytic efficiency of β-1,3-galactosyltransferase (β-1,3-galT) and insufficient precursor supply. Here...

Case-generating patterns of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in Chinese mainland, 2006–2025: a national surveillance analysis

Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) shows marked spatiotemporal heterogeneity and frequent zero counts in Chinese mainland. We analysed monthly HFRS surveillance data from 352 cities during 2006–2025 using a zero-inflated time-series model incorporating meteorological, e...

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF COTTON CELLULOSE PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY

Today, the current problem one of the pressing issues facing the pulp and paper industry of the Republic of Uzbekistan is the development of an efficient technology for producing cotton cellulose from low-grade cotton linters. The use of this type of local raw material can expand...

Onset of zircon decomposition during saprolitic weathering

Abstract Zircon is conventionally considered as refractory in supergene environments, enabling the preservation of geochemical records for tracing various Earth’s processes and the use of the zircon structure as a nuclear waste form. However, how refractory zircon is during weath...

Biological possibility: a mechanistic account

Abstract Current projects in synthetic biology, universal biology, and the origin-of-life study have posed a pressing issue regarding the nature of biological possibility. This essay proposes a novel account of biological possibility, which highlights the role of mechanism: X is...

Epistemic Gaps In Intangible Cultural Heritage Inventories: Community Criteria And Institutional Limits In The Ecuadorian Andes

"Epistemic gaps in intangible cultural heritage inventories: community criteria and institutional limits in the Ecuadorian Andes."

Ent-7β-hydroxy-15-oxokaur-16-en-18-yl acetate suppresses RANKL-induced and LPS-enhanced osteoclastogenesis through NF-κB/MAPK signaling with involvement of the ACE–AT1R axis

Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disorder characterized by excessive osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, which is exacerbated by inflammatory and oxidative stress-associated signaling pathways. Although anti-resorptive drugs are used to prevent excessive bone resorption, their l...

Experimental investigation of local heat transfer in multiple free surface triangular jet impingement and generalised thermal–hydraulic comparison of orifice shapes

Free surface jet impingement is an effective technique for high heat flux cooling. The flow field and heat transfer characteristics are strongly affected by the orifice geometry. The present study experimentally examines a symmetric 3 × 3 array of free surface triangular water je...

Competing couplings drive four synchronization regimes in a three-color all-fiber soliton laser

Synchronized multicolor ultrafast fiber lasers are attractive single-source solutions for multimodal nonlinear imaging, yet the mechanisms that stabilize or destabilize their timing locking remain largely unexplored. We combine a field-level cavity model with a reduced inertial c...

Mechanical and thermal performance of hollow glass microsphere-reinforced earthen masonry walls in severe cold regions

This study investigates the mechanical and thermal performance of hollow glass microsphere- and jute fibre-stabilised earthen masonry walls for structural building envelopes in severe cold regions. Raw soil from Xiwusutu Village, Hohhot, was stabilised with 6 wt% hollow glass mic...

Spatiotemporal evolution and lifecycle dynamics of soil-atmosphere compound droughts in Central Asia: A three-dimensional perspective

Study Region Central Asia, including the five Central Asian countries and northwestern China Study Focus Most assessments of soil–atmosphere compound droughts focus on simultaneous water limitation, overlooking antecedent and residual stages that shape event development and recov...

When AI meets DEI: Employee AI-beliefs and their implications for workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion

As artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes the workplace, its impact on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) has been examined primarily through the lens of what AI actually does (i.e., system design, outputs). This review shifts the focus to humans' subjective beliefs about AI,...

Oxygen Availability and Environmental Origin as dual Ecological Filters Shaping Aerobic Hydrocarbon-degrading Enrichment Microbial Communities

Oxygen availability and environmental origin are key ecological factors jointly structuring microbial communities involved in aerobic petroleum hydrocarbon degradation. To assess their relative importance, we established parallel enrichments under aerobic (7–8 mg L⁻¹ dissolved ox...

Quantile-based homogeneity selection and similarity-weighted robust coherence matrix for distributed scatterer interferometry in mining deformation monitoring

Coal mining can lead to a series of geological issues, making it crucial to monitor surface deformation for early hazard warning in mining areas. Distributed Scatterer Interferometry (DSI) enables the monitoring of deformation in overlying strata above mining working faces. Howev...

A thermally integrated Carnot battery incorporating a novel dual-pressure evaporation cycle for deep utilization of waste heat: Parameter analysis and working-fluid optimization

The majority of contemporary thermally integrated Carnot batteries have inadequate waste heat use during the discharging process. Leveraging the integrated heat exchange capability of the multi-stream heat exchanger, this study proposes a thermally integrated Carnot battery incor...
