Summary: Giant cerebral aneurysms are rare and predominantly occur in middle-aged and elderly women. Without treatment, the prognosis is poor, with a 2-year mortality rate of 68%. This article presents a case report of an 82-year-old female patient admitted to the emergency department due to seizures caused by a giant intracranial aneurysm. The article discusses different treatment approaches for giant internal carotid artery aneurysms.

Summary: In recent times, there has been a trend among philosophers to suggest replacing Ockham's Razor with a new principle called the Laser in theory choice. While the Razor advises against multiplying entities unnecessarily, the Laser focuses on avoiding multiplying fundamental entities unnecessarily. The arguments for the Laser in literature can be categorized into three types: based on the nature of non-fundamentality, arguments from cases, and arguments from analogy, but ultimately there is insufficient reason to replace the Razor with the Laser.

Summary: This paper uses the partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) method combined with the Carson formula to optimize the calculation method of rail mutual impedance. A physical model of the ballastless track section containing the steel mesh is established, and a theoretical calculation model of the rail mutual impedance is built. The rail mutual impedance is equated to the superposition of the electrical circuit mutual impedance and the ground circuit mutual impedance.

Summary: This research investigates whether people have a presupposition of a PSR-like principle in ordinary judgment. The findings show that participants' judgments consistently conform to the PSR, predicting metaphysical aspects of explanation. These judgments diverge from related epistemic and value judgments, indicating the distinct role of metaphysical presumption in our explanatory inquiry.

Summary: In this study, a new method is proposed to generate synthetic data with individual granularity while protecting patients' privacy. Compared to other synthetic data generation techniques, this method allows for additional privacy metrics while preserving the original statistical information. Once validated by privacy metrics, using anonymous synthetic data enables the creation of value from sensitive data analysis and mitigates the risk of privacy breaches.

Summary: This study explores the effect of solid obstacle distribution on the deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) in a homogeneous hydrogen-air mixture. The results show that there are two types of detonation initiation processes, and the flame acceleration experiences two periodic acceleration-deceleration processes. The symmetric distribution of obstacles leads to the shortest initiation distance and time. Furthermore, a higher unilateral blockage ratio results in more unfavorable DDT.

Summary: This study proposed ecofriendly methodologies for the catalytic degradation of DDT and its metabolites, using three types of Pd-based nanoparticles to effectively treat harmful compounds in water. Among them, Au-on-Pd nanoparticles showed the highest degradation efficiency within 1 hour, with the SPME-GC-MS method providing effective monitoring capabilities.

Summary: One key feature of Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacons is the received signal strength, which can be used to estimate the distance between any Bluetooth-compatible receiver and fixed deployed beacon. This article proposes a novel distance classifier to improve the robustness of estimation models and considers the impact of mobility on estimation accuracy. The proposed classifier achieves significant performance gain by providing extra mobility information.

Summary: This research investigates the influence of a variable blocking ratio on the DDT (Deflagration to Detonation Transition) process through numerical simulation and experiment. The findings show that obstacles can stretch the flame surface, facilitate the reflection and diffraction of shock waves, and accelerate the flame front. The study also indicates that the variable blocking ratio of obstacles can shorten the DDT distance.

Summary: Dicarbon, formed from two carbon atoms, is a highly abundant molecule in the universe with a rich spectroscopy and numerous valence electronic states. Its spectrum consists of 19 one-photon band systems, with some discovered by the author and co-workers. Found in various astronomical objects, dicarbon serves as a sensitive probe of the local environment and plays a role in the green color of cometary comae.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between CEO's diversity-valuing behavior and female executives' likelihood of turnover. It proposes psychological safety as a key mechanism for this outcome, and finds support for the theory using survey and archival data on turnover. The study contributes to the literature on gender diversity and female leadership by emphasizing the role of CEO behavior in enabling the retention of female executives.

Summary: Using fluidic obstacles can mitigate the thrust loss caused by solid obstacles in the deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) process. A detailed simulation investigates the impact of multiple groups of fluidic obstacles on flame acceleration and DDT process under different initial velocities and gas types. The findings indicate that the initial jet velocity hinders flame acceleration due to the propagation of the reflected shock wave formed by jet impingement being opposite to the flame acceleration direction. However, as the flame accelerates, the vortex structure and enhanced turbulence promote flame acceleration, and increasing the initial jet velocity or using reactive jet gases can shorten the detonation initiation time and distance.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of using inert gas (Argon) as a safe and controllable method in promoting the deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT) process in a methane-oxygen mixture. Experimental and numerical results show that turbulence generated by the argon injection can enhance flame acceleration and detonation onset in the fast deflagration regime. The enhancing effect is more significant at higher turbulence intensity, while prolonged injection duration may have adverse effects on DDT occurrence.
