1. Exact distributions of longest increasing subsequences certify finite-n convergence toward the Tracy-Widom limit

   What are the exact finite-sample distributions of longest increasing subsequence lengths in random permutations, and how rapidly do their moments approach the limiting Tracy-Widom law? We compute the exact distribution of longest increasing subsequence lengths for every sample size up to 50 using the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence and the hook-length formula. At the largest sample size, the exact expected length is 11.309389 with variance 1.94134, corresponding to a normalized centered mean of -1.475863 and normalized variance of 0.526961. Across all 50 sample sizes, the expected length remains strictly below two times the square root of the sample size, with maximum ratio 0.799695. Exhaustive enumeration via patience sorting independently confirms every distribution count across 409113 permutations.

2. Exact finite-horizon benchmark for optional stopping in Bernoulli tests

   How does repeated monitoring change false-positive rates for a coin-toss test? This resource computes exact rejection probabilities and expected observation counts using integer path weights. At the selected horizon, a fixed binomial test rejects a fair-coin null with probability 0.04431304005703379, repeated binomial testing with probability 0.20205809786793333, and a likelihood-ratio test with probability 0.04088964341296718. The benchmark provides 36 scenario rows and passes 18 exhaustive-enumeration comparisons. It supplies an auditable numerical illustration of established optional-stopping behavior, without asserting a new statistical theorem.

3. Independent verification of Collatz delay records up to ten million

   This bundle re-computes the Collatz total stopping time (delay) for every integer from 10000000 down through one, covering the closed interval of the first ten million positive integers, and extracts the delay-record sequence: each n whose delay strictly exceeds that of every smaller positive integer. The enumeration produces 54 records, ending at n=8400511 with delay 685. These values agree with the classical delay-record table of Leavens and Vermeulen as maintained in the public Collatz record lists on this range. The computation is deterministic, uses only integer arithmetic, and is re-run by verifiers from code/compute_delays.py.

4. Guaranteed income's mental-health benefit is not robust across randomized trials, and employment does not fall in its first year

   Guaranteed income, regular cash with no conditions, has been tested in many American cities and in national pilots, and its advocates expect it to improve mental health without reducing work. We pre-registered a meta-analysis of randomized trials of flat, unconditional cash in high-income countries, searching databases, registries, and the reports most pilots publish outside journals; 62 trials were eligible and 53 had results. About a year into payments, mental health was better in the cash arms by 0.09 standard deviations (CI 0.041 to 0.139) across 34 comparisons in a random-effects model, but the common-effect estimate, which weights the largest trials most, was -0.002 (-0.023 to 0.018), and smaller trials reported larger effects. Employment changed by 0.599 percentage points (-2.533 to 3.731), and the mental-health effect did not fade during payments. Any mental-health benefit of guaranteed income is small and confirmed only in small trials, and about a year in it does not detectably reduce employment.

   • Published, Reproduced.Published, Reproduced: In 34 comparisons from 32 randomized trials of recurring unconditional cash in high-income countries (16,834 people analysed), mental health about 12 months into payments was better in the cash arms by a pooled standardized mean difference of 0.090 (95% CI 0.041 to 0.139; Holm-corrected p = 0.002) in the pre-registered random-effects model, but the pre-registered robustness checks failed: the common-effect estimate, which weights the largest trials most, was -0.002 (-0.023 to 0.018), the estimate among the 6 comparisons that kept at least 60% of those randomized was 0.043 (-0.077 to 0.163), and smaller comparisons reported larger effects (Egger's regression slope 1.54, 95% CI 0.75 to 2.33; p < 0.001).
   • Published, Reproduced.Published, Reproduced: In 14 comparisons from 13 randomized trials of recurring unconditional cash (9,623 people surveyed, and 175,222 in Finland's employment registers), the share of people employed about 12 months into payments did not detectably change: +0.60 percentage points (95% CI -2.53 to 3.73; Holm-corrected p = 1.000), an interval that rules out a reduction larger than 2.53 points; counting the share employed full-time where a trial printed no share employed at all, the change over 31 comparisons was +1.13 points (-1.14 to 3.40).
   • Published, Reproduced.Published, Reproduced: In 19 comparisons of recurring unconditional cash with mental-health estimates at two waves during payments a mean of 11.7 months apart, the effect on mental health did not fade while payments continued: the pooled change from the earliest to the latest wave was 0.000 standard deviations (95% CI -0.049 to 0.048; Holm-corrected p = 1.000), the effects at the two waves being 0.048 and 0.061; across every wave during payments of 34 comparisons, the effect changed by +0.015 standard deviations per year (-0.034 to 0.064).

5. Unknown participant overlap cannot reverse four composite-event point estimates in a frozen antidepressant trial dataset

   Can unknown overlap between adverse-event terms change the direction of published composite-event estimates? We reconstructed the frozen registry comparisons and calculated every possible range of distinct affected participants consistent with the selected term counts. For adult serious suicidal behaviour, the resulting Mantel–Haenszel risk-ratio bounds are 1.712 to 2.1962; for adult serious suicidality, 1.2154 to 1.8476. The corresponding pediatric bounds are 1.0045 to 1.4773 and 1.8144 to 2.8091. All remain above the null. Unknown overlap therefore changes the magnitude but cannot reverse these fixed-data point estimates under the source's cohort and outcome definitions. These are identification bounds, not confidence intervals or estimates of causal treatment effects.

   • Published, Reproduced.Published, Reproduced: In the frozen antidepressant registry dataset, conditional on source cohort selection, denominators, term coding, and absent-term imputation, sharp Mantel-Haenszel risk-ratio bounds relative to selected within-group event-count marginals are 1.7120261533 to 2.1961879882 for adult serious suicidal behaviour, 1.2154409158 to 1.8475901940 for adult serious suicidality, 1.0045047792 to 1.4773331886 for pediatric serious behaviour, and 1.8144436696 to 2.8090979871 for pediatric serious suicidality. Thus unknown participant overlap alone cannot reverse the direction of these fixed-data point estimates; these are not confidence intervals or causal treatment effects.

6. Mass azithromycin lowers child deaths when all young children are treated, but not when only infants are

   The World Health Organization's 2020 guideline recommended giving mass azithromycin, which lowers child mortality in high-mortality settings of sub-Saharan Africa, only to infants, to limit antibiotic resistance; no trial had then tested that. Under a pre-registered plan we pooled every randomized trial by whom it treated. Treating all children under five lowered their mortality by 14.1% (CI 7.4% to 20.3%), consistently across trials. In the three trials that treated only infants, infant mortality was not detectably lower (rate ratio 0.971, CI 0.867 to 1.086), an interval that excludes the effect of treating all children. Infants had lower mortality when all children were treated, though a between-trial comparison of the two strategies fell short of significance, and giving azithromycin to individual infants at clinic visits showed no effect. The infant-only approach has not lowered mortality in any trial that tested it; treating all children under five has.

   • Published, Reproduced.Published, Reproduced: In 5 placebo-controlled comparisons from 3 cluster-randomized trials (MORDOR in Niger, Malawi and Tanzania; AVENIR in Niger; CHAT in Burkina Faso), twice-yearly mass azithromycin to every child 1 to 59 months old lowered mortality among children 1 to 59 months by 14.1% (rate ratio 0.859, 95% CI 0.797 to 0.926; Holm-corrected p = 0.015; I² = 0%), and the reduction held with a common-effect model (0.859, 0.813 to 0.908) and with any one comparison left out (largest p = 0.044).
   • Published, Reproduced.Published, Reproduced: In the 3 cluster-randomized trials that gave azithromycin twice a year to infants 1 to 11 months old only, the approach the World Health Organization recommended in 2020 (AVENIR's infant arm in Niger, LAKANA in Mali, MIRAMA in Burkina Faso), infant mortality was not detectably lower than with placebo (rate ratio 0.971, 95% CI 0.867 to 1.086; p = 0.370), an interval that rules out a reduction larger than 13.3% and so excludes the 14.1% reduction seen when all children 1 to 59 months were treated; the estimate stayed near 1 with LAKANA's four-times-yearly arm instead (0.948, 0.856 to 1.050), without MIRAMA (0.963, 0.656 to 1.413), and with the 2 individually randomized infant trials added (0.969, 0.881 to 1.066).
   • Published, Reproduced.Published, Reproduced: Infant mortality was lower when all children 1 to 59 months were treated (rate ratio 0.823, 95% CI 0.707 to 0.958; 3 comparisons) than when only infants were (0.971), but the pre-registered meta-regression comparing the two strategies across trials did not establish a difference (ratio of rate ratios 1.187, 95% CI 0.974 to 1.447; p = 0.074; Holm-corrected p = 0.148); AVENIR's within-trial contrast of its all-children arm against its infant arm, estimated after registration from the two arms' printed mortality rates, was 0.830 (0.717 to 0.959).

7. Labor induction jumps at maternal age 40, and at 35 with a failed falsification check, without cesarean or newborn changes

   Turning 35, and again turning 40, moves a pregnancy into the "advanced maternal age" category, which carries more surveillance and more advice to deliver early. Using every US singleton first birth at term from 2016 to 2024, we compared mothers just below and just above each age with a preregistered regression discontinuity, using confidence intervals that stay valid when age is recorded in whole years. Labor induction jumps by 1.19 percentage points at 35 (honest 95% CI 0.7 to 1.68). The preregistered verdict is inconclusive, because the share of first births also jumps at 35, by 0.4 points. At 40, induction jumps by 2.86 points (2.05 to 3.67), and that secondary test meets its confirm rule. Delivery at 39 weeks rises at both ages. Cesarean delivery, NICU admission, low Apgar scores, severe maternal morbidity and term stillbirth show no jump at either age. The label appears to move delivery timing without changing these measured outcomes.

   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: Among singleton first births at 37-44 weeks in US natality files for 2016-2024, labor induction rises by 1.19 percentage points at maternal age 35 (honest 95% CI 0.70 to 1.68, bias bound 0.1 pp per year squared), but the preregistered decision rule classifies this primary test as inconclusive because the all-parity nulliparity share also jumps at age 35 (0.40 pp, Holm-adjusted p = 0.023).
   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: In the same population, labor induction rises by 2.86 percentage points at maternal age 40 (honest 95% CI 2.05 to 3.67), with no covariate discontinuity at 40 after Holm adjustment, so the preregistered secondary test at 40 meets its confirm rule.
   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: Delivery at 39 weeks rises by 1.00 percentage points at maternal age 35 (honest 95% CI 0.52 to 1.48) and by 3.64 percentage points at age 40 (honest 95% CI 2.85 to 4.44) among singleton first births at 37-44 weeks.

8. Species-resolved enzyme profiles leave few eligible longitudinal compensation events in Crohn’s disease

   How many longitudinal observations support a species-resolved microbial compensation analysis in the public inflammatory-bowel-disease multi-omics dataset? A reproducible eligibility audit finds 277 candidate intervals after specimen matching and sequencing-depth filtering. Four broad enzyme annotations yield [6,6,4,0] eligible contributor-decline intervals, in the stated annotation order; only [1,1,0,0] also contain paired numeric calprotectin metadata.

9. Capacity and idle power limit assigned carbon reductions from daily batch scheduling

   How much does scheduling a daily batch by historical grid intensity help when computing capacity and idle power are explicit? We evaluate seasonal clock-time profiles trained on 2023 public Great Britain data, with equal work and equal energy in every comparison. At 50% utilization, assigned carbon falls by 11.63% in 2024 and 12.81% in 2025 relative to uniform processing. Setting idle power to 50% of maximum power reduces these advantages to 3.88% and 4.27%. Some dates have higher assigned carbon after shifting. These results describe a fixed historical workload benchmark and an accounting signal; they do not measure avoided emissions.

   • Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: In the frozen Great Britain daily-batch benchmark, seasonal profiles trained on 2023 data reduce assigned carbon versus uniform processing by 11.63% and 12.81% at 50% utilization with zero idle power in 2024 and 2025, but by 3.88% and 4.27% when idle power is 50% of maximum; at 87.5% utilization with zero idle power the reductions are 3.37% and 3.64%, while the half-utilization policy increases assigned carbon on 16 of 364 and 10 of 365 evaluation dates, respectively, conditional on the specified processor model and estimated average intensity data.

10. Historical schedules lower assigned grid carbon intensity under deadlines, with higher intensity for some jobs

    Do historical electricity schedules help when jobs arrive throughout the day and cannot wait indefinitely? We evaluated fixed seasonal profiles and recent-history profiles on public Great Britain grid records. For the primary workload, seasonal scheduling lowered mean assigned carbon intensity by 11.24% in 2024 and 12.01% in 2025 relative to immediate execution. Yet 17.61% and 15.55% of jobs received higher intensity. Recent-minus-seasonal mean differences were -0.21 and -0.07 g CO2/kWh. These are retrospective accounting results for a synthetic workload, not measured emissions avoided.

11. Divergent Efficacy of Adaptive Versus Continuous Therapy Across Pre-Existing and De Novo Resistance Regimes

    Does adaptive therapy consistently outperform continuous maximum tolerated dose treatment? Simulating stochastic birth-death-mutation processes and competitive dynamics reveals a sharp bifurcation governed by baseline clonality. Under de novo mutation, continuous treatment achieves complete clonal eradication in 96.6% of simulated tumors, whereas adaptive therapy achieves 0% eradications due to mutational influx during drug holidays. Conversely, with 2% pre-existing resistance, adaptive therapy prolongs mean time to progression from 68.6 days to 74.8 days while reducing cumulative drug exposure by 18.1%. In competitive dynamics, the adaptive-to-continuous progression-time ratio contracts from 1.11 under a 20% fitness cost to 1.09 under neutral resistance. Thus, adaptive therapy requires established pre-existing resistance to provide clinical benefit.

    • Published, Reproduced.Published, Reproduced: Under de novo mutation without pre-existing resistance, continuous maximum tolerated dose therapy achieves complete stochastic clonal eradication in 96.6% of simulated tumors, whereas adaptive therapy achieves 0.0% eradications and incurs progression across all trials due to mutational influx during treatment holidays.

    Can a simple electricity-use schedule transfer across years? We selected seasonal three-hour windows using 2023 data and evaluated them in later Great Britain grid records. Relative to midnight use, assigned average carbon intensity was 5.78% lower in 2024 and 13.15% lower in 2025. The schedule performed worse on 137 and 111 days, respectively.

13. Sparse species-resolved RNA prevents a reliable test of butyrate backup responses in Crohn's

    Can other microbes maintain butyrate-related transcription when a leading contributor declines? A preregistered audit of public IBDMDB profiles finds that the available pathway-level species assignments are too sparse for a reliable answer. Among 375 retained paired Crohn's samples from 52 participants, the primary pathway has positive community RNA in 205 samples but named-species RNA in only 25. The specified longitudinal analysis retains 6 sustained-decline episodes from 5 people. Every retained episode has zero reported RNA from the named alternatives throughout its observation window. These zeros do not distinguish undetected or unassigned transcription from biological failure of compensation.
