Cyberphilic Design: Rethinking Urban Design Theory through Nusantara (IKN)

This article proposes "cyberphilic design" as a new theoretical framework derived from the contradictory interplay of forest, sponge, and smart city concepts in Indonesia's Nusantara (IKN), arguing that such tropical Global South contexts are essential for rethinking urban design theory beyond Euro-American paradigms.

Analysis of IVF Cost Data: A Mixture Modeling and Credibility Approach

This study utilizes a novel Bayesian mixture-credibility model on data from 100 IVF patients to demonstrate that unsuccessful treatment cycles not only incur significantly higher costs but also exhibit greater financial uncertainty, thereby establishing an integrated framework for personalized clinical counseling and financial risk assessment in reproductive medicine.

Similarity analysis of DNA sequences through local distribution of nucleotides in strategic neighborhoods

This paper proposes a computationally efficient, alignment-free algorithm that represents DNA sequences as 24-dimensional vectors based on the local distribution of nucleotides in strategic neighborhoods, leveraging prime factorization uniqueness to achieve linear time complexity and low memory usage for effective phylogenetic analysis.

Enhanced wear resistance of fine-grained Ni-based coating via annealing-induced phase transformation

This study demonstrates that annealing a thermally sprayed amorphous Ni-based coating at 800°C induces a beneficial phase transformation into a refined three-phase microstructure, which significantly enhances wear resistance by combining the plasticity of a ductile solid solution with the hardness of intermetallic phases, thereby overcoming the typical limitations of grain coarsening and brittleness.
