An intelligent reflecting surface–assisted semantic communication architecture for 6G networks with hippopotamus–differential evolution optimized resource allocation

A persistent obstacle in sixth-generation (6G) wireless systems is the simultaneous demand for extreme spectral efficiency and ultra-reliable low-latency delivery under constrained energy budgets. To address this obstacle, an integrated architecture is proposed in which intellige...

Paleomagnetic Reconstruction of the Early Triassic Paleogeographic Position of the South Yellow Sea and Its Geological Significance

Most studies on the Early Triassic paleomagnetism of the Yangtze Block (YB) have concentrated on the Western to Middle parts, but the South Yellow Sea (SYS) in the Eastern YB (EYB) is relatively lacking. To ascertain the paleogeographic position of the SYS, we isolated the charac...

Effects of Common Cooking Methods on Total Mercury and Methylmercury in Sardines and Sprats

The effects of household cooking on mercury speciation in whole small pelagic fish remain insufficiently understood. To address this gap, total mercury (T-Hg), methylmercury (MeHg), and Hg(II) were determined in wet whole-fish homogenates, including viscera, of sardines and sprat...

Surgeon Characteristics Associated With Average CPT ® 31237 Utilization per Medicare Beneficiary

Background A retrospective cohort study of 69,170 patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery between 2015 and 2022 found that 38.7% of the variation in the number of postoperative debridements was explained at the surgeon level. The extent to which postoperative debridements...

Behind the mask of narcissistic leadership: uncovering the mechanisms of knowledge sabotage among subordinates

Purpose This study aims to examine how narcissistic leadership motivates employees to engage in knowledge sabotage through perceived competitiveness and knowledge-based psychological ownership (KBPO). Design/methodology/approach A three-wave, time-lagged survey collected data fro...

Topological Baryogenesis and Axion Synchronization: A Unified Framework from Quantum Geometry

A framework is proposed for cosmological baryogenesis driven by non-perturbative topological fluctuations (quantum surgery of 1-handles) in the early Universe at the Planck epoch. Relying on the Ashtekar-Lewandowski measure and quantum geometry foam dynamics, it is shown that the...

STGFormer: Spatio-Temporal Graph Transformer for Traffic Flow Prediction in Sparse-Sensing Scenarios

With the continuous improvement in intelligent transportation and data perception levels, determining how to achieve high-precision and generalizable traffic flow prediction based on historical traffic data has become an important issue in intelligent highway management. The Tran...

A foot in the door? The impact of a real-world deliberative process on citizens’ attitudes toward deliberative mini-publics (DMPs)

Abstract This study examines whether exposure to a deliberative mini-public (DMP) shapes citizens’ attitudes toward this specific form of democratic innovation. Using panel surveys conducted before and after Luxembourg’s 2022 Climate Assembly (Klima-Biergerrot, KBR), we compare t...

Gulf Pragmatism at a Crossroads: Al-Sabah Political Conduct and Kuwait Town's Foreign Policy toward Four Powers during the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries

This manuscript investigates pragmatism as an analytical lens for understanding the foreign policy of Kuwait Town during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, with particular attention to the political conduct of the ruling sheikhs of the al-Sabah family. It asks whether pragm...

Prediction of Tensile Property of Polycarbonate/Acrylonitrile‐Butadiene‐Styrene ( PC / ABS ) Blend Under UV ‐Accelerated Aging Based on Hybrid DT ‐ MLP Model

ABSTRACT Polycarbonate/acrylonitrile‐butadiene‐styrene (PC/ABS) blends are widely utilized engineering plastics known for their distinctive advantages in automotive, electronic, and electrical applications. However, their long‐term durability is significantly limited by their sus...

Spatiotemporal nonlocal behavior of fiber-reinforced thermodiffusive medium with rotation and temperature-dependent properties under three-phase-lag model

Purpose This study aims to predict the response in a fiber-reinforced thermodiffusive medium with rotation and temperature-dependent material characteristics on account of mechanical load. A mathematical framework of the governing equations is obtained by using three-phase-lag th...

Prevalence and Determinants of Sexually Transmitted Infections Among Thai Men Who Have Sex with Men Enrolled in National Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Program: A Real-World Cross-sectional Study

Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain a major public health concern among men who have sex with men (MSM). This study estimated STI prevalence and associated factors among MSM enrolled in Thailand’s national pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) registry under the U...

The observer immersed in the system: autopoiesis, enaction and normative systems as emergent properties

ABSTRACT This White Paper extends the epistemological framework of the book "The Normative System Under the Lens of Complexity" (Cerboni, 2026) by integrating the paradigms of autopoiesis (Maturana and Varela, 1980) and enaction (Varela, Thompson, and Rosch, 1991). It argues that...

Pseudo defect guided meta calibration for few shot industrial defect segmentation

Few-shot industrial defect segmentation aims to localize unseen defects from only a few defect-free reference images, but remains challenging because no positive anomaly examples are available and defects are often subtle, irregular, and embedded in complex textures. We propose P...
