Z-boson pair entanglement against all separable states: a decay-angle witness for H → ZZ*

ATLAS has reported evidence of Z-boson pair entanglement in H → ZZ* → 4ℓ at 4.7σ (4.9σ expected) with 304 fb⁻¹. The separable hypothesis it tests is a single state, the pure product state |00⟩, which ATLAS describes as the only separable state consistent with its assumptions. Tha...

Tourism beyond promise: Stakeholder perspectives on structural constraints in rural tourism development

Tourism is widely promoted as a catalyst for regional development, yet its economic benefits remain unevenly distributed in many rural destinations. This study aims to examine community and stakeholder perspectives on tourism development in Bandung Regency, Indonesia, with a spec...

Expired endoscopic devices remain sterile and functional: an international multicentre study challenging current shelf-life criteria

Background and study aims Expired medical devices represent an environmental and economic concern, yet their magnitude and true shelf life remain poorly defined. We aimed to quantify the volume and cost of expired endoscopic devices and evaluate their sterility and functionality...

Zirconium-Mediated Modifications in SHS Shear Deformed TiAl(Nb,Mo)B Alloys: A Study of Phase Evolution and Mechanical Response

This work systematically examines the effect of zirconium additions on the phase transition behavior and microstructural evolution of TiAl(Nb,Mo)B systems subjected to shear deformation under unconstrained self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). The study further evalu...

τ-Law-Driven Cross-Level Temporal Optimization for Ultra-Scale Electronic-Photonic Integrated Circuits: Modeling and Experimental Validation

The continuous scaling of semiconductor technology is facing increasing physical limitations, making conventional geometry-driven scaling insufficient for future ultra-scale computing systems. Electronic-photonic integrated circuits (EPICs) provide a promising approach to overcom...

Structural Effects of Spatially Non-Uniform Evolution of Material Parameters Under Cyclic Thermo-Mechanical Loading

Metallic thermal protection structures of reusable high-speed vehicles experience aerodynamic heating, high-temperature hold, and cooling in each flight mission, and the hot and cold faces accumulate different temperature and plasticity histories; after multiple missions, the ela...

Engineered techno-functionality of plant-based proteins for the circular bioeconomy

Abstract Plant-based proteins (PBPs) recovered from agro-industrial wastes are a cornerstone of the circular bioeconomy, yet their industrial deployment is constrained by poor techno-functional properties, low solubility, weak emulsification, and susceptibility to pH and temperat...

Hidden subsurface suspended sediment export from Greenland's marine‐terminating glaciers

Abstract Runoff and calved ice volumes from the Greenland Ice Sheet are well constrained, but quantifying the associated suspended sediment flux remains challenging. Here we present near‐terminus observations from three glacierized fjords in southeast Greenland, combining full‐de...

NAT10-mediated histone β-hydroxybutyrylation facilitates DNA replication and maintains genomic stability

Lysine β-hydroxybutyrylation (Kbhb) is a histone posttranslational modification derived from the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), but its role in DNA replication has remained unexplored. N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) is known for RNA acetylation; whether it functions as a β-...

Intensifying compound drought–heatwave events weaken ecosystem water-use efficiency in the Nile River Basin

Climate warming has intensified compound drought–heatwave (CDHW) events worldwide, posing growing threats to ecosystem carbon–water dynamics. However, the impacts of CDHWs on ecosystem water-use efficiency (WUE), particularly event sequencing, drought memory, and climatic heterog...

The lived experiences of social stigma among individuals with multiple sclerosis: a qualitative phenomenological study using Colaizzi’s method

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease associated with physical, psychological, and social challenges. Beyond the burden of neurological symptoms, individuals with MS may experience social stigma that affects their identity, relationships, emotional well-being,...

Cold Snare Polypectomy Versus Cold Snare Polypectomy With Submucosal Injection for 3–9 mm Colorectal Polyps: A Randomized Controlled Trial

ABSTRACT Background and Aim Incomplete resection after cold snare polypectomy (CSP) remains a concern. CSP may sometimes require a forcible pull (“forced CSP”), which increases the incomplete resection rate (IRR). Submucosal injection before CSP (SI‐CSP) may facilitate resection...

Apc-deficient pituitary stem cells drive adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma through senescence-associated inflammation

Abstract Adamantinomatous craniopharyngiomas (aCPs) are complex intracranial neoplasms that arise in the sellar and suprasellar region of the brain, affecting the endocrine and nervous systems, causing severe sequelae. Although most of aCPs are driven by somatic mutations in β-ca...

Interface-Programmed Growth of High-Aspect-Ratio 1D Ni–MOF Nanofibers on MXene for Wearable Enzyme-Free Glucose Sensing

Abstract Noninvasive wearable glucose sensors capable of real-time sweat analysis offer a less discomforting alternative for long-term monitoring in patients with diabetes. However, practical implementation remains challenging. Major barriers include insufficient catalytic sensit...

What a Validity Argument Can Warrant from Public Documentation Alone: A Single-Case Documentary Analysis of the New Zealand Diploma in Business (Level 5), Accounting Strand

Abstract Purpose – This paper asks what a validity argument for a competency-based qualification can warrantusing only the public documentary record. No procedure within published applications of Kane's(2013) framework isolates what an external reader can establish from public do...

Africa’s first standard measure for child and adolescent health: The Nigerian EQ-5D-Y-3L value set using composite time trade-off and discrete choice experiments

Nigeria has a rapidly growing child and adolescent population, yet no locally derived EQ-5D-Y-3 L utility weights (value set) exists for estimating quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) in paediatric economic evaluations. This study developed the first Nigerian EQ-5D-Y-3 L value se...
