Cellular Mode: A Cell-Based and Verifiable Method for Agent-Assisted Software Engineering

This preprint describes Cellular Mode v1.0.0, an open-source method and software architecture for bounded, resumable, auditable, and verifiable agent-assisted software engineering. It has not undergone peer review. Abstract Large language models (LLMs) and agentic coding systems...

Dermal Fillers in Skin of Color: Safety Considerations, Cultural Perspectives, and Patient-Centered Approaches

BACKGROUND Patients with skin of color make up a growing share of aesthetic dermatology practice, yet evidence guiding filler treatment in this population remains limited. OBJECTIVE To review the evidence on dermal filler treatment in patients with skin of color, emphasizing safe...

No effect of short‐term exposure to ocean acidification on individual‐level variation in behaviour and susceptibility to predation in a Great Barrier Reef damselfish

Abstract Ocean acidification, caused by rising carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in the atmosphere, has been reported to negatively impact a wide variety of behaviours in fishes, including activity, exploration, and predator avoidance. These effects have been documented at the population le...

Normative reference values for the vertical jump test in sport-participating children and adolescents in spain

Abstract Background The vertical jump test is a valid and reliable field-based method to assess lower-body muscular strength and physical fitness in youth. However, updated normative reference values for sport-participating children and adolescents in Spain are lacking. Objective...

Post-Nap Sleep Inertia in Narcolepsy Type 1 and Idiopathic Hypersomnia

Abstract Study objectives To compare post-nap sleep inertia between patients with idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) and narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) by assessing changes in subjective sleepiness and objective performance. Methods In 128 drug-free patients (50 IH, 78 NT1), standardized overn...

Heat Treatment Effects on Additively Manufactured Polymer Matrix Composites

Additive manufacturing (AM) of polymer matrix composites (PMCs) enables the fabrication of complex, structurally efficient parts, but the layer-wise thermal history intrinsic to processes such as material extrusion, vat photopolymerization, powder bed fusion, and direct ink writi...

A Hybrid Strategy Sustainable for Combining Relational and Graph Databases to Improve the Effectiveness of Complex Relationship Analysis

The purpose of this study is to develop and implement a hybrid approach that addresses the limitations of relational databases (such as MySQL) and graph databases (like Neo4j) in analyzing complex relationships. The study used an experimental methodology that replicated a setting...

E8 Quintet Quintessence Field — Dark Energy as φ-Modulated Lattice Strain — E8 Intelligence Research

Extending the quintet harmonic lattice model, we identify dark energy as the macroscopic strain energy of the 48 quintet cavities when their φ-scaled harmonics fall slightly out of phase with the 132Hz vacuum reference, producing a net outward pressure on spacetime. The 240 E8 ro...

Predicted Incrementality by Experimentation for Ad Measurement

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) provide the most credible estimates of advertising incrementality but are difficult to scale. We propose Predicted Incrementality by Experimentation (PIE), which reframes ad measurement as a campaign-level prediction problem. PIE uses a sample...

Yb 2 O 3 -Doped YSZ coatings: Phase stability and thermal performance

Ytterbium(III) oxide (Yb 2 O 3 )-doped yttria-stabilized zirconia (YbYSZ) thermal barrier coatings were prepared via EB-PVD. Elemental analysis showed that the contents of Yb, Y, and O decreased from ingot to coatings and the total amount of stabilizer in 4.5Yb4YSZ coating was hi...

Laboratory-based nutritional risk assessment including GDF15 in cirrhosis: a multicenter retrospective study

Abstract Malnutrition is a common complication of cirrhosis and is associated with adverse outcomes. However, current nutritional risk assessment tools may not fully incorporate objective laboratory biomarkers. This study aimed to develop a biomarker-based prediction model for nu...

Structural change and economic complexity in Brazil’s manufacturing sector: evidence across the states (2011–2019)

Abstract This paper examines structural changes in manufacturing across the 27 Brazilian states between 2011 and 2019. We combine three complementary approaches, namely, shift-share analysis, structural decomposition analysis (SDA) based on interregional input–output tables, and...

The Silent Threat to Young Women: Assessment of Gynecological Cancer Awareness

Purpose:This research was conducted to determine the level of awareness of gynecological cancers among young female university students and the factors influencing this awareness.Methods: This study is descriptive and cross-sectional in nature. It was conducted with 724 female st...

CFD-Based Multi-Objective Optimization of a Cyclone Separator Using Response Surface Methodology, NSGA-II, and Physical Prototype Validation

Cyclone separators are widely used for gas–solid separation; however, improving separation efficiency generally increases pressure drop, making cyclone design a challenging multi-objective optimization problem. This study aims to optimize a high-efficiency Stairmand cyclone separ...

Climate resilience through economic development, energy transition and sustainable development: insights from wavelet coherence approach

Purpose Adjusted net savings (ANS) is a pivotal indicator of sustainable development, combining environmental costs, resource depletion and economic performance. While ANS fosters short-term environmental accountability, its focus on immediate economic gains may undermine long-te...

Students’ stress responses to classroom dissection and the mediating role of disgust

Abstract The dissection of animal organs is practiced in science classes to teach anatomical structures and scientific methods. Nevertheless, its appropriateness is debated, partly because dissection can cause notable disgust. In this study, we describe disgust as a response to t...

Gödel's Incompleteness: True Yet Unprovable, Consistency Unprovable — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems establish that any consistent formal system capable of elementary arithmetic contains true-but-unprovable statements, and cannot prove its own consistency. | MATH: First Theorem: For any consistent, recursively axiomatizable theory T exten...

If Hindu Dharma Is So Ancient, Why Are Its Temples So Recent? 10 Chapters in the Real History of Indian Sacred Architecture and Worship

Two questions are usually asked separately about Indian religious tradition: when was the first Indian temple built, and how did the practice of idol worship and immersion take its present form? This article argues they are, in fact, one question wearing two faces, and sets out t...
