Dynamics of Prime Gap Sets: An Algorithmic and Set-Theoretic Approach
Abstract: In this paper, we present a theorem and an efficient algorithm for computing all prime numbers up to a given integer X. Our theorem establishes a relationship between the primes up to X and those up to (X+1)2, providing a theoretical foundation for the algorithm. The proposed method improves upon the traditional Sieve of Eratosthenes by dynamically eliminating multiples of primes using only the remaining numbers in the set, thereby …

Deep Sea Benthic Viral Ecology: Impact of Virus-Encoded Auxiliary Metabolic Genes on Biogeochemical Cycling
Abstract: The deep ocean benthos, comprising abyssal plains, hadal trenches, cold seeps, hydrothermal vent chimneys, and sub-seafloor sediment basements, represents the largest and least explored biosphere on Earth. Operating under extreme hydrostatic pressure, low temperature (or extreme thermal gradients), and localized energy scarcity, benthic microbial communities govern fundamental global biogeochemical fluxes. Emerging high-throughput metagenomic, single-cell viromic, and transcriptomic evidence reveals that deep-sea viruses are not merely passive agents of microbial mortality, …
