Summary: The Federalist Papers, written by Hamilton and others, aimed to persuade states to adopt the Constitution as a replacement for the Articles of Confederation. They defended the Constitution's aristocratic characteristics and promoted an anti-democratic, representative form of government.

Summary: This study aims to determine Qi-deficiency constitution and Balanced constitution through voice analysis and explore the feasibility of deep learning in TCM constitution recognition. The results showed that the proposed method based on the ResNet residual neural network model achieved a high accuracy rate in constitution classification, improving the efficiency of constitution recognition and providing decision support for clinical practice.

Summary: The use of proleptic language by an educator helps situate students within communities of academic and professional practice, allowing them to align, resist, and reinterpret these future identities. It creates opportunities for authentic uses of academic discourse and develops critical rhetorical flexibility.

Summary: The study examined the relationship between proleptic branch traits and biomass production in high-density poplar plantations, revealing that proleptic branch curvature (PBC) plays a significant role in biomass production and is closely related to sylleptic branch numbers (SBN), leaf area index (LAI), and biomass production. The findings will help identify high-yield poplar varieties for cultivation in high-density plantations for biofuel production.

Summary: Stable K isotope ratios can be accurately measured by CC-MC-ICP-MS, but trace-level Ca contaminants can compromise the accuracy. This study shows that using D2 as the reaction gas instead of H2 can significantly reduce the influence of Ca, improving the robustness of K isotope analysis. The method was successfully applied to the analysis of lunar samples.

Summary: This study describes the storytelling activities of two groups of middle school students who wrote stories set in their community, using the genres of superhero and absurdist storytelling. By analyzing recordings, field notes, interviews, and close readings of the students' narratives, the researchers found that the students created proleptic bids and gaps, which allowed for improvisation and the production of new material that could redefine the meanings of childhood and equity in their communities. The researchers argue that these openings not only allowed the students to critique dominant narratives of their neighborhood, but also provided a necessary space for transformative literacy pedagogy and practice.

Summary: As the arbiter of the constitutionality of executive actions, the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) holds extensive authority over the functioning of the federal government and has been at the center of controversy due to various justifications provided in its opinions. There have been proposals to reform, constrain, or eliminate the OLC, either through direct constraints on its legal work process or indirect constraints on its personnel and public scrutiny. This study explores how the United States Senate Judiciary Committee can implement indirect constraints on the OLC, utilizing its unique position outside the executive branch to uphold constitutional prerogatives and encourage respect for separation of powers and individual liberty.

Summary: In this review, the conformational, configurational, and constitutional dynamics of hydrazone-based systems are discussed, with particular focus on the important role of the N-H group of the hydrazone framework. The most representative synthetic methodologies to obtain supramolecular architectures are also described.

Summary: The study successfully developed a well-designed short-form questionnaire with good psychometric properties and excellent diagnostic validity consistent with the original version. This provides a new and simplified tool and opportunity for body constitution identification, health management, and primary care implementation.

Summary: In this study, the temperature influence on thiolate addition to Merocyanine (MC) dyes containing different type of donors was investigated. It was found that the zwitterionic phenolate dye displayed impressive temperature sensitivity to thiolate addition, while MC dyes containing neutral donors showed only moderate temperature sensitivity. Thermodynamic parameters and H-1 NMR studies were used to explain the different reactivity of these dyes towards thiolate addition.

Summary: This study used molecular cytogenetics to investigate the karyotype composition of intermediate wheatgrass and found variability in the karyotypes of different accessions. The researchers concluded that the chromosomes of intermediate wheatgrass mainly originated from Dasypyrum breviaristatum and the genus Pseudoroegneria.

Summary: This study used antibody microarrays to analyze differentially expressed proteins in the sera of individuals with different constitutions. The findings suggest that individuals with phlegm-dampness constitution (PdC) and damp-heat constitution (DhC) may have increased susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases and other illnesses. These results provide insights for further investigation into the material basis and mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine constitutional theory.

Summary: The chemical constitutions of biomass play a crucial role in the development of valorization products using hydrothermal technology. In this study, the effects of chemical constitutions on the characteristics of hydrothermal solid and liquid products were investigated using fir wood and corn stalk as typical lignocellulosic wastes. The results showed that the hemicellulose content in corn stalk was higher, while the cellulose and lignin contents were lower compared to fir wood. The yields of hydrothermal solid and liquid products were higher and lower for fir wood compared to corn stalk, respectively. Different decomposition temperatures and products were observed for different constituents, such as hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin, indicating their influence on the hydrothermal conversion process.

Summary: This paper discusses the impact of LGBTQ equality law on sex equality law, and the enduring commitment of sex equality law to biology as a basis for sex discrimination. It points out that biological justifications for sex discrimination are still attractive to courts, but argues that recent developments in LGBTQ equality law have rendered biologically rationalized sex discrimination illegal and harder to justify.
