High-voltage pulsed radiofrequency combined with tolerable thermocoagulation for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a common and debilitating complication of herpes zoster that significantly affects patients’ quality of life, particularly among elderly and immunocompromised individuals. Although pharmacological therapies are widely used, they often provide limited pain relief and have undesirable side...

New approaches to fast plate composition, with a software implementation for taxonomy

The preparation of multi-panel figures remains a labor-intensive step in scientific publication, particularly in image-intensive fields such as zoological taxonomy. Although many tools are available, they are generally either general-purpose applications or highly specialized solutions that may be difficult to install...

Student’s Science Process Skilss on Poster-Mediated Research-Based Learning Model in Biotechnology Topics

The low level of students’ research-based skills, reflected in teacher-centered learning and limited opportunities for direct scientific engagement, motivated this study. This research aimed to examine the effect of poster-assisted Research-Based Learning (RBL) and describe students’ science process skills in learning...

Effects of water intrusion on fracture characteristics of hard coal

Aquifer water can cause serious geological hazards by catastrophically rushing into underground space. The water seepage can increase the moisture content and pore pressure of coal/rock, which can change mechanical behaviour of coal/rock subject to tectonic and abutment stress. Understanding the effect of water intrusi...

bit.analyze: Universal Structural Stream and Temporal Multimodal Associations — v0.2.0-rc1

bit.analyze v0.2.0-rc1 — Release Candidate bit.analyze v0.2.0-rc1 is a pre-release candidate that extends the v0.1.0 structural-memory baseline with two experimentally validated layers: a bounded universal structural byte stream and a pre-semantic temporal multimodal association model. The release remains research soft...

C2OGate: Externally Checkable Joint Stopping-Time Certification for Cost-Dominant Continuations

C2OGate is a research software and reproducibility archive for certifying whether a proposed optimization continuation is cost-dominant relative to an unchanged baseline continuation. Conditioned on one observed first-order transcript, the method retains the joint dependence of the two continuations’ first-hitting time...

Before Blind AI Adoption Destroys Engineering Organizations: Four Real Bullets and the Four-Dimensional Matching Framework

Brooks (1987) argued that no single technique would deliver an order-of-magnitude im-provement in software productivity. The community accepted this thesis but overlookedthe other half of Brooks’s argument: that cumulative, context-sensitive advances couldcollectively achieve what no single technique could. This paper...
