Decoupling multistep schemes for elliptic–parabolic problems

We study the construction and convergence of decoupling multistep schemes of higher order using the backward differentiation formulae for an elliptic–parabolic problem, which includes multiple-network poroelasticity as a special case. These schemes were first introduced in [Altma...

Soil Phosphorus Conditions Drives Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Community Differentiation and Modulate the Growth of Cenchrus pauciflorus

Cenchrus pauciflorus is a major invasive plant in the sandy lands of northern China, with the Horqin Sandy Land being a hotspot of its invasion, where soil phosphorus availability may influence its spread through arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). To elucidate the effects of soi...

The Effect of Passive Substrate Terminations on RON Degradation in GaN Bidirectional Switches

In this paper, four passive terminations are considered for the substrate biasing of Gallium Nitride (GaN) bidirectional high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs). These substrate networks are analyzed via switching simulations and by adopting a physical model for the bidirectio...

Distinct biological and biomechanical features in jaw and knee cartilage contribute to their degenerative susceptibility

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and knee joint are both prone to degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA); however, TMJ-OA generally manifests earlier than knee OA, with underlying mechanisms largely unknown. In this study, we explored potential explanations through co...

Golden Isozonohedra: Zonohedra with Golden Rhombic Faces — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Golden isozonohedra are zonohedra whose faces are exclusively golden rhombi (diagonal ratio φ), directly linking the golden ratio to zonohedral lattice geometry. | MATH: Golden rhombus diagonals ratio = φ = (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.618; reciprocal = 1/φ = φ−1 ≈ 0.618; squared = φ² =...

Iron deficiency-related abortion and miscarriage burden among women of advanced maternal age

Advanced maternal age (AMA) is associated with reduced fertility and higher risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Iron deficiency, a leading cause of anemia, has been associated with pregnancy loss. However, the iron deficiency-related burden among AMA women remains poorly quantif...

Headless Compression Screws May Reduce Symptomatic Hardware After Medial Malleolus Fixation: A Comparative Cohort Study

Objectives: To compare rates of medial-sided symptomatic hardware, hardware removal, and fracture union following medial malleolus fixation using partially threaded, headless compression screws versus traditional partially threaded, headed screws. Methods: Design : Retrospective...

From accuracy to applicability: A consensus-aligned narrative review on bedside ECG- and ultrasound-based PICC tip positioning

Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) tip positioning is a technically mature field characterized by heterogeneous evidence. International consensus guidelines consistently recommend bedside intracavitary electrocardiography (IC-ECG) and ultrasound-based strategies as fir...

An Efficient Parcel-Center Sampling Strategy for Parcel-Scale Crop Classification Using Multiresolution Remote Sensing

Parcel-scale crop classification is fundamental to agricultural remote sensing and precision agriculture. The integration of detailed parcel information with medium-spatial-resolution remote sensing data has become an important technical approach to parcel-scale crop classificati...

Machine learning accelerated exploration of the global high pressure phase diagram

Pressure reshapes electronegativity, chemical hardness, and bonding, stabilizing compounds and crystal symmetries inaccessible at ambient conditions, yet accurate phase diagrams at high pressure exist for only a small fraction of elemental combinations, and their exploration acro...

First Serological Evidence of Exposure to Japanese Encephalitis Virus in Feral Pigs and Sentinel Chickens in Western Australia

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) emerged across mainland Australia in 2022, causing substantial impacts on public health and the pig industry. Its emergence raised concerns regarding potential spread into Western Australia (WA). This study aimed to determine JEV activity in WA w...

Impact of Primary Health Care Reforms in Quebec’s Health Care System: A Systematic Review

Introduction: Primary health care (PHC) reforms in Quebec between 2000 and 2023 aimed to improve accessibility, continuity, efficiency, and equity through organisational transformation, notably the Family Medicine Groups (FMGs), centralised waiting lists (Guichets d’accès), the a...

Micronucleus cytome assay reveals genomic instability in premalignant cervical lesions among high-risk HPV-positive women

Cervical cancer is a major health burden driven by persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV). Genomic instability biomarkers from the micronucleus cytome (MNcyt) assay may improve identification of women at risk of progression beyond cytology and HPV testing....

A Competence-Based Architecture for Personalized Adaptive Learning

Traditional e-learning systems often provide limited personalization and adaptation to individual student needs. This paper presents a competence-based architecture for personalized adaptive learning in higher education that integrates an ontology-based content model, practical-s...

A virtual reality study to investigate the influence of greenery and traffic density on self-reported feelings of relaxation among older adults

Abstract Mental health problems affect approximately 14% of older adults worldwide. Although urban environments are known to influence stress, a key contributor to mental health problems, well-controlled experimental studies examining how specific urban features affect stress in...

Evaluating conservation tillage as a strategy for soil and water conservation and yield stability in Ethiopian dryland agriculture

Traditional agricultural management relying on intense cultivation with the conventional tillage has triggered widespread soil nutrient loss, land degradation, and rapid moisture evaporation across sub-Saharan Africa, jeopardizing food security in the fragile highland ecosystems...

Species-Dependent Effects of 3-Hydroxychromone Derivatives on Biofilm Biomass and Planktonic Growth

A series of 3-hydroxychromone derivatives bearing Mannich-type motifs was synthesized and evaluated for effects on biofilm-associated biomass and planktonic growth in Staphylococcus aureus ALC2085 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. Compounds were initially screened at 20 μg/mL usin...

Application of Routine Activity Theory to the Context of Cyberbullying in Korean Schools: Testing Multi-Year Consistency Between Groups

Although cyberbullying victims and perpetrators often overlap, few studies tested the temporal stability of Routine Activity Theory (RAT) models across victim, perpetrator, and overlap groups. Using three waves of nationwide South Korean data, this study estimated group-specific...

Anchor‐Free Capsular Augmentation Using the Reflected Head of the Rectus Femoris in Hip Arthroscopy

Abstract Capsular integrity is a key factor in hip stability after arthroscopic procedures. Inadequate capsular closure may contribute to postoperative microinstability, persistent pain, and suboptimal outcomes, particularly in patients undergoing extensive capsulotomy or procedu...
