In this paper, we present a new reference model that approximates the actual shape of the Earth, based on the concept of the deformed spheres with the deformation parameter $\lambda$. These surfaces, which are called $\lambda$-spheres, were introduced...

Multi-reference effects can be covered by density functional theory (DFT) either implicitly via the exchange-correlation functional or explicitly via the form of the Kohn-Sham wave function. With the help of the exchange hole it is shown that the sel...

As a high-precision and high-stability engineering platform for aerospace missions, the dual-super spacecraft is subject to numerous environmental constraints and disturbances in increasingly complex space environments, posing significant challenges...

Studies of children’s narratives have shown that selecting appropriate forms to reintroduce a referent compared to retaining a referent is challenging because it requires the integration of different accessibility features. Bilingual children are mor...

While transitive clauses with a subject and object have long been a fundamental focus of grammatical analyses across languages of the world, more recently, it has become apparent that naturally occurring language-in-use is in fact overwhelmingly intr...

A class of exact (non-perturbative) models of strong gravitational waves based on Shapovalov type III spacetimes and Einstein’s vacuum equations is obtained. Exact solutions are found for the trajectories of particles and radiation in a gravita...

Music plays a crucial role in our lives, with growing consumption and engagement through streaming services and social media platforms. However, caution is needed for children, who may be exposed to explicit content through songs. Initiatives such as...

Background: Diminished emotion recognition is a known symptom in Parkinson (PD) patients and subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) has been shown to further deteriorate the processing of especially negative emotions. While emotion reco...

A digital orthophoto is an image with geometric accuracy and no distortion. It is acquired through a top view of the scene and finds widespread applications in map creation, planning, and related fields. This paper classifies the algorithms for digit...

Composed Image Retrieval (CIR) aims to search a target database for images that best align with a user’s intent, conditioned on a reference image paired with modification requirements. Existing CIR architectures typically treat the visual refer...

The term kairos has been used to mean, alternatively, right timing or proportion in Ancient Greek rhetoric, by Jesus to refer to the Christian eschaton and by Paul Tillich and modern liberation theologians to refer to the breakthrough of the divine i...

This article examines how Portuguese Members of Parliament have incorporated journalistic media into plenary speech as external discursive resources from 1976 to 2025. While research on the mediatization of politics has shown that political actors op...

A small deformation to the Schwarzschild metric controlled by four free parameters could be referred to as a nonspinning black hole solution in alternative theories of gravity. Since such a non-Schwarzschild metric can be changed into a Kerr-like bla...

In this paper, we make use of an inverse formula that relates the blossom of a NURBS curve, surface or Bézier triangle with its parametrisation, with no explicit reference to the control points and weights of the parametrisation. We make use o...

In this work, we make an attempt to answer the question of what a multiscale problem is in Molecular Dynamics (MD), or, more in general, in Molecular Simulation (MS). By introducing the criterion of separability of scales, we identify three major (re...

The purpose of this research was to plan an approach to a project framework that integrated a model for sustainability and CSR, with the process groups of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK^®) standard, in its application to the training...

The aim of this study was to derive explicit formulas of the average run length (ARL) of a cumulative sum (CUSUM) control chart for seasonal and non-seasonal moving average processes with exogenous variables, and then evaluate it against the numerica...

In a recent paper, Share discussed four different “Common Misconceptions about the Phonological Deficit Theory of Dyslexia” and described this theory as “a model of true scientific progress” and a clear “success story&rd...

Using the analytical tool Rbrul, this study explores the object expression variations in the speech of twenty CSL (Chinese as a Second Language) learners whose first languages (L1) were English, Russian, Korean, and Japanese, and compares them to nat...

This article analyzes the explicit and implicit presence of social justice in the graduation profiles of Social Work programs at Chilean state universities, as well as the way in which its distributive, recognition, and participatory dimensions are a...

Quantum reference frames are expected to differ from classical reference frames because they have to implement typical quantum features such as fluctuations and correlations. Here, we show that fluctuations and correlations of reference variables, in...

Background: Creep-fatigue phenomena are complex and difficult to model in ways that are useful from an engineering design perspective. Existing empirical-based models can be difficult to apply in practice, have poor accuracy, and lack economy. Need:...

In French-speaking Belgium, new science curricula are being introduced for pupils aged 12 to 15 and will gradually be implemented in classrooms until 2028. At a time when the reference frameworks for the rest of the compulsory curriculum (ages 16 to...

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is largely organized around its explicit reference to Milton’s retelling of Genesis 2–3, Paradise Lost. Unfortunately, this reference to Milton has discouraged scholars from going back to the Old Testamen...

Clarifying urban-rural spatial explicit structure changes is of great significance for understanding the urban-rural relationship evolution. Previous studies have mostly focused on urban internal spatial structure evolutions and less on the regional...

In order to obtain a better numerical simulation method for fluid–structure interaction (FSI), the IB-LBM combining the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and immersed boundary method (IBM) has been studied more than a decade. For this purpose, an...

We propose a joint response-based procedure to determine when one constant compression coefficient is sufficient for both pile drag increment and head settlement. Ordered compression-strain bounds are propagated through a finite-stiffness pile with f...

This study examines inclusive early childhood education in China and Türkiye through a comparative qualitative analysis of policy, curriculum, and teacher perspectives. A two-stage research design was employed, combining document analysis of nat...

Urban carbon-emission inventories can yield different conclusions depending on accounting construction and analytical scale, yet these two sources of variation are rarely evaluated within a common framework. We define asymmetry as a measurement-depen...

Hydration free energies of small molecules are commonly used as benchmarks for solvation models. However, errors in predicting hydration free energies are partially due to the force fields used and not just the solvation model. To address this, we ha...

A visual stimulus that is divided in harmonic proportions is often judged as more pleasant than others. This is well known by artists that often used two main types of geometric harmonic patterns: symmetry and the golden ratio. Symmetry refers to the...

This paper presents explicit algebraic methods for approximating optimal $dq$-axis current references in permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) under given torque commands. The proposed approach addresses three key optimal control strategies: maxi...

Primary teachers shape early environmental understanding, yet their formal preparation in waste management remains poorly documented. This study audited all nine Greek public undergraduate primary-teacher programmes. Official study guides and course...

Downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) poses a major and recurring threat to Greek viticulture, yet existing point-based forecasting models require in-vineyard stations, limiting scalability in fragmented landscapes. This study introduces a spatially exp...
