Synchronous Holocene thinning of Pine Island Glacier and its tributaries influenced by ice-shelf unpinning

Abstract Glaciers in Antarctica’s Amundsen Sea sector are retreating and thinning due to warm ocean inflow beneath ice shelves that buttress (restrain) glacier flow, but their future trajectory and implications for ice-mass loss remain uncertain. Here we present detailed cosmogen...

Patterns of Ambicoloration in Carrot Tonguesole Cynoglossus dubius (Cynoglossidae)

Abstract The present study documents nearly complete and partial ambicoloration in Carrot tonguesole, Cynoglossus dubius Day, 1873. Nearly complete ambicolored fishes exhibited an additional lateral line on the blind side whereas, partially ambicolored specimen lacked this featur...

Evaluation of a 3D Crustal Velocity Model for Northern Israel Using Wavefield Simulations

ABSTRACT We evaluate a recently developed 3D crustal velocity model for northern Israel using numerical simulations of seismic wave propagation for eighteen earthquakes (3≤Mw≤4.5). Synthetic seismograms were compared with observed recordings from the Israel Seismic Network in the...

Decoding Atypical G‐Quadruplexes and Their Interactome in Liquid Biopsies via Integrated Electroanalytical–Proteomic Technologies

A multipurpose electroanalytical biotechnology to advance the role of atypical G-quadruplex (G4) structures as emerging, multifunctional DNA biomarkers is reported. The technology presented enables determination, selective isolation, and in-depth characterization of G4 motifs fro...

The 231 gates of the Sefer Yetzirah as the positive root system of A_21: Coxeter geometry of the letter-wheel, with cyclotomic and quasicrystalline perspectives

The Sefer Yetzirah (Book of Formation), a short Hebrew text of late antiquity, mounts an alphabet of 22 letters on a rotating wheel (galgal) and enumerates the 231 unordered pairs it calls gates. We identify these gates with the positive roots of the root system A_21: the letter-...

Discipline and justify: Ideas and the making of economic hierarchy

Abstract Debates about the social and political foundations of capitalism have a long lineage, stretching back to classic critiques of market society. In recent years, this tradition has been renewed by scholars examining the evolving institutional and political conditions that u...

Predictors of 12-Week Anamorelin Treatment Continuation in Gastrointestinal Cancer Cachexia: A Single-Center, Retrospective Study

Although anamorelin improves appetite and body composition in cancer cachexia, early discontinuation is common. We aimed to evaluate predictors of 12-week treatment completion and longitudinal changes among patients who completed treatment. This single-center, retrospective study...

The Utility of Routine Radiographic Follow-Up for Dogs with Cranial Cruciate Ligament Disease Undergoing Uncomplicated Cranial Closing Wedge Ostectomy

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the utility of routine follow-up radiographs after cranial closing wedge ostectomy (CCWO) for cranial cruciate ligament disease in dogs with a normal clinical examination and no owner concerns. Records were retrospectively reviewed...

Fast computation of bound components of free surface gravity waves

Abstract This paper presents a computationally fast implementation of the third-order wave interaction theory of Madsen and Fuhrman (2012) for multidirectional irregular waves. The evaluation stage is reformulated from direct summation of sinusoidal waves in the physical domain t...

Hierarchical Fuzzy Adaptive Control for Cooperative Pursuit‐Evasion Formation in Marine Surface Vehicles

ABSTRACT This paper investigates a formation‐based cooperative pursuit‐evasion (PE) problem for marine surface vehicles (MSVs) under local sensing and partially connected communication topologies. A distributed two‐layer control framework is proposed for the case where each pursu...

Prevalence of respectful maternity care and associated factors among Somali refugee women following facility-based childbirth in Melkadida refugee camps, Ethiopia: a mixed-methods study

Abstract Background Respectful maternity care (RMC) is a fundamental human right that ensures women’s dignity, privacy, and autonomy during childbirth. In humanitarian settings, however, RMC is often neglected. Despite Ethiopia hosting one of Africa's largest refugee populations,...

Sensitivity of Complex Reinsurance Pricing Metrics to Model Assumptions

Using a representative multiperil catastrophe model applicable to a US nationwide industry portfolio, this paper quantifies the sensitivity of reinsurance technical pricing metrics to model assumptions. We show that shifting risk profiles from low to high catastrophe excess of lo...

Z₂ Fiber Bundle with φ-Torus Holonomy Links Spinor Phase to Golden Ratio — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: A nontrivial Z₂ fiber bundle over the φ-torus is proposed, with holonomy −1 along the φ-cycle, linking spinor structure to fundamental constants. | MATH: Holonomy hol(γ_φ) = −1; Z₂ (ℤ₂) as structure group; φ-torus as base space; spinor bundle classification via second St...

suPAR Identifies Treatment-Resistant Inflammatory Risk Beyond hs-CRP in Type 2 Diabetes With Coronary Artery Disease: An Ancillary Analysis of BARI 2D

OBJECTIVE To determine whether soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is modified by randomized diabetes and revascularization strategies in patients with type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease and whether combined suPAR and hs-CRP classification refines re...
