Although the piezoresistive behavior of conductive polymer composites has been widely studied, the geometry-dependent piezoresistive response of MWCNT/PLA-based TPMS lattice structures produced by fused filament fabrication (FFF) remains insufficiently explored. The primary objec...

Purpose Indigenous Environmental Knowledge (IEK) remains central to disaster risk reduction in many African communities; however, its contribution to flood resilience, especially across different cultural groups, is under-examined in Nigeria. Previous Nigerian flood research has...

Stream 1 of the Dual-Scale program: a Lean 4 formalization, kernel-checked with Lean's three standard axioms (propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound), no sorry, no native_decide outside the golden tests. Principal results. (i) The order-3 Picard–Fuchs operator of Cooper's sporadic...

Culture-medium optimization is constrained by the duration of each culture cycle, which limits opportunities for experimental feedback. We evaluated TabPFN, a tabular foundation model, against Gaussian-process models for simulated medium optimization under a fixed experimental bu...

NARRATIVE MODELLING OF HISTORICAL TIME AND THE ARTISTIC CHRONOTOPE IN NOAH GORDON'S «THE PHYSICIAN»
The article examines, from a narratological perspective, how the American writer Noah Gordon's novel «The Physician» (1986) models eleventh-century historical time and fuses it with fictional space into a chronotope. Drawing on M.M.Bakhtin's theory of the chronotope, G.Genette's...

Controlled SiO2 etching by HF in an HF/H2O liquid-like layer in a vacuum environment
Controlled SiO2 etching was demonstrated using hydrogen fluoride (HF) in an HF/H2O liquid-like layer in a vacuum environment. Under vacuum conditions in the absence of H2O, there was no etching of SiO2 by HF. In the presence of H2O, the SiO2 etch rates were dependent on the HF pr...

Improving Discharge Instructions: Systematic Review of Language and Health Literacy Interventions.
CONTEXT: Effective pediatric inpatient discharge relies on clear, responsive communication to support safe transitions from hospital to home. Families who use a language other than English and those with lower health literacy experience disproportionate barriers during discharge,...

The Role of Emotion on Autobiographical Memory in a Second Language: A Systematic Narrative Review
Aims and Objectives: This systematic narrative review synthesises 13 peer-reviewed studies examining how emotional valence and intensity influence autobiographical memory retrieval in a second language (L2) versus the first language (L1). It investigates how the language of retri...

Circadian misalignment and low-grade inflammation: Failure of temporal gating by the molecular clock
Circadian misalignment, from shift work, recurrent sleep-wake disruption, or mistimed behavioral rhythms, tracks with cardiometabolic disease and low-grade systemic inflammation, yet no single account ties the molecular, animal, and human evidence together. This narrative review...

We present and demonstrate a property of software specifications that we term execution-neutral buildability. A normative specification has this property when it fixes the system's required behavior and makes any implementation mechanisms it leaves open explicit and bounded by st...

Facet Selectivity Enables Near-Unity External Quantum Yields in Shell-free Silicon Quantum Dots
Abstract Core–shell quantum dots (QDs) such as epitaxially passivated CdSe, InP, and lead-halide perovskite QDs, which are often used in solar cells and as photocatalysts, are highly luminescence-efficient and tunable. However, concerns surrounding sustainability, toxicity, and m...

Abstract Background Association with beneficial microbes is essential for plants maintaining fitness under biotic or abiotic stress. Mechanisms underlying this call for community support, and the species involved, remain largely unknown. Results We revealed that the phosphate sta...

ABSTRACT Fleece shedding is becoming an increasingly important trait in sheep production systems focused on meat and dairy, where wool has limited economic value and reducing shearing costs is desirable. For inclusion in breeding programmes, a trait must exhibit genetic variation...

This paper sets out a framework, Jameel's Economic Law of Responsibility Burden, for understanding what happens when centrally and institutionally guaranteed infrastructure is replaced by decentralized or autonomous substitutes. It argues that operational and reliability responsi...

Abstract Background Haemosporidian (“malaria”) parasites are a diverse group of vector-borne apicomplexan parasites that infect a wide range of vertebrate hosts, including humans. Bats harbour a remarkable diversity of haemosporidians and are considered important hosts in the evo...

Background and Objectives: Remimazolam is an ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine suitable for continuous infusion; however, evidence regarding its maintenance infusion rate for moderate sedation during spinal anesthesia across age strata is limited. We aimed to estimate and compare...

Normalization at Unity: The Mathematics of the Triple Ontology of Human Anatomy
AbstractThe human body has a triple anatomical characteristic: three-dimensional polymetry,heterogeneity, and analogicity. This is its ontology. BMI (Body Mass Index), which treats thebody as a homogeneous plane (kg/m²), ignores this problem. This article presentsNormalization at...
