Optimal irrationality measures for logarithms of rational numbers and a compatible-embedding extension

We prove that the irrationality exponent of log r is 2 for every positiverational number r different from 1. In particular, μ(log 3) = 2. The proof extends the separated-weight interpolation and determinantmethod of OpenAI's proof that the irrationality exponent of π is 2.The geo...

Neutrophils and lipocalin-2 in triglyceride-glucose body mass index-related cardiometabolic risk among patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a multicenter study

Abstract Cardiometabolic risk is increased in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but early risk may remain unrecognized before overt metabolic abnormalities emerge. Whether neutrophil-associated inflammation can help identify this latent risk and its potential molecular link remains uncl...

Soil Heterogeneity and Nutrient Response in Smallholder Maize Systems in Uganda: Implications for Balanced Fertilizer Recommendations

Low productivity in sub-Saharan Africa is closely linked to declining soil fertility and suboptimal fertilizer use. While balanced fertilization can improve yields and sustain soil fertility, evidence for fertilizer optimization in smallholder maize systems remains limited and si...

Asymmetric Access to Spirobenzofuran Oxindoles via Organocascade Reaction of Unprotected 3-Chlorooxindoles with 2-Hydroxy-β-Nitrostyrenes

Abstract A highly enantioselective methodology has been developed to access oxindole-fused spiro dihydrobenzofuran, applicable to a protecting-group-free reactant, with high bond efficiency (1 new C–C and 1 C–O bond) and two contiguous stereocenters. Gram-scale and stereodivergen...

Preparation of Tea Polyphenol‐Enhanced Whey Protein Isolate/Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose Composite Films and Their Antioxidant and Antibacterial Properties

ABSTRACT Biodegradable composite films are prepared using whey protein isolate (WPI) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC‐Na) as matrices, with tea polyphenols (TP) incorporated into the composite matrix. The incorporation of TP significantly enhances the ultraviolet (UV) barr...

Headache among patients undergoing cardiac stress testing: Prevalence, clinical characteristics, and identification of myocardial ischemia

Abstract Background Cardiac cephalalgia is an uncommon secondary headache disorder caused by myocardial ischemia and may occur with or without typical anginal symptoms. Most available literature consists of isolated case reports, and data regarding its prevalence among patients u...

Understanding Cognitive Heterogeneity in Children Referred to Mental Health Services: Evidence from a Large Clinical Sample

Background: General ability and verbal–performance organisation are established features of Wechsler batteries, while the diagnostic value of subtest profile types remains contested. We examined whether ten WISC-R subtests in a large clinical referral sample contained reproducibl...

Fimbriarioides intermedia and F. lintoni (Cestoda: Hymenolepididae): molecular phylogeny, species status, and transmission in Arctic coastal ecosystems.

has a trans-Arctic distribution and is represented by the same population in all these regions. This is due to the high vagility of its definitive hosts, sea ducks, which make long-distance migrations along the coasts of the northern Palaearctic seas, and the almost circumpolar d...

Switching From Originator to Biosimilar Infliximab in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Switching from originator infliximab to a biosimilar has become routine in adults with inflammatory bowel disease, but pediatric‐specific evidence remains limited. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this switch in patients younger than 22...

Large language models unlock the ecology of species interactions

Species interactions shape population dynamics, geographic distributions, evolutionary trajectories, and responses to environmental change. Yet data on these interactions remain scarce across broad spatial, temporal, and taxonomic scales because they are difficult to collect in t...

A Preliminary Theory of Relational Justice for Volunteer Aid

This paper develops a preliminary theory of relational justice for volunteer, aid, and support relations. Its central question is what can make an aid relation just, rather than merely effective, benevolent in intention, or materially beneficial. The paper treats justice as a typ...

Digital Transformation Speed and Firms’ Environmental Performance: Do Green and Party-Member CEOs Matter?

While accelerating digital transformation has become a prevalent trend in management practices, our understanding of its impact on firms’ environmental performance (FEP) remains surprisingly limited. Drawing on the attention-based view, we propose that digital transformation spee...

Interpretable Monthly Decision Support for Sugarcane Mill Planning: One-Month-Ahead Cane Tonnage Forecasting and Operational-State Profiling in Coastal Ecuador

Monthly cane supply anticipation is critical for harvest scheduling, mill intake coordination, transport allocation, labor planning, and maintenance organization in vertically integrated sugarcane agroindustrial systems. This study developed an interpretable monthly decision supp...

Green's Functions of Some Non‐Integer‐Order Initial and Boundary Value Problems

ABSTRACT In this paper we introduce Green's functions of some scalar initial and boundary‐value problems generated by non‐integer‐order symmetric differential equations. In particular, we consider ‐sequential and ‐sequential initial and boundary‐value problems, and using some pro...

How Heat Stress Mediates the Impacts of Street-level Environmental Features on Housing Prices: A Comparative Study of Center City and Outside Areas in Philadelphia

Urban heat increasingly shapes housing markets, but existing studies often use coarse data and overlook spatial differences. This study develops an SEM-centered framework, with RF-SHAP as a non-parametric robustness check, to examine how 1-meter Universal Thermal Climate Index (U...

Co-creating and testing a bibliotherapy e-storybook for children coping with parental complex post-traumatic stress disorder

The e-storybook was perceived as a useful bibliotherapy tool to support child and family outcomes and to facilitate meaningful conversations about family experiences.

Heterogeneous patience, population growth, and wealth accumulation

Abstract We study a neoclassical growth model with population growth and heterogeneous agents. The model can be interpreted as either a Ramsey model with heterogeneous discounting and entry of new agents with zero endowments or an OLG model with infinitely-lived agents with diffe...
