Comprehensive comparison of different structural thermal management systems for lithium-ion battery module based on electrochemical–thermal–aging and conjugate heat transfer coupled model

In this study, we extend the analysis of typical BTMS structures—traditionally focused on temperature-based thermal parameters—by incorporating electrochemical indicators such as SOC and SOH. Four structurally distinct BTMS configurations were evaluated in terms of fluid flow, th...

Applying an adaptationist framework to personality science: jealousy as a mechanistic basis of Emotionality

Over the past half century, the field of personality psychology has developed several descriptive taxonomies, but progress toward a genuinely explanatory framework for between- and within-person variation in psychology and behavior has been elusive. We argue that this is largely...

Exploring Lean-Integrated Circular Economy in the Built Environment Setting: Implications for Project Governance and Compliance

Abstract The current study establishes how lean tenets contribute to the circular economy (CE) with exploration of lean tools with circular economy core principles and framework development. While there seem to be synergies between the concepts of lean and CE, the construction ma...

Improving Water Demand Forecasting Models Understanding with XAI Methods

Abstract Understanding the main drivers of water demand predictive models is important for model applications and usability. The ever-increasing computational capacity has enabled multiple complex models to excel at predicting demand values. However, the understanding of how the...

Cultivating a Regional Geoscience Learning Ecosystem: Systemic Equity and Cultural Change in California’s Central Valley

The geosciences remain among the least racially diverse STEM fields, with limited progress over the past four decades. This article presents a case study of the San Joaquin Valley Geoscience Learning Ecosystem, a regional initiative designed to transform institutional culture and...

Ehlers‐Danlos Patients Achieve High Satisfaction and Clinically Meaningful Outcomes After Combined Hip Arthroscopy and Periacetabular Osteotomy: A Comparative Study With Non‐Ehlers‐Danlos Syndrome Patients

PURPOSE: To define clinically meaningful outcomes after hip arthroscopy (HA) with periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), HA + PAO in patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) and International Hip Outcome Tool...

A stakeholder-engaged process to design and implement the Assessment of Cognitive Complaints Toolkit for Alzheimer’s Disease (ACCT-AD) in primary care

Background: Dementia is underdiagnosed, particularly in primary care settings where most people receive their healthcare. These is a need for tools to assist with the diagnosis of dementia by primary care clinicians, who greatly outnumber specialists. Objective: To describe the c...

Exploring the Association Between Colorectal Cancer Metastasis and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: A Nationwide Analysis

Background: Metabolic syndrome-associated conditions and malignancies frequently co-exist, influencing each other’s progression, severity, and prognosis. This study evaluates whether metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) contributes to an increased risk...

Queer Hmong American Genealogies: Belonging, Responsibility, and Cultural Continuity in the Diaspora

This article examines queer Hmong identity and cultural change in the United States over the past fifty years, a period shaped by refugee resettlement, intergenerational negotiation, and evolving family practice. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with ten queer Hmong individu...

The Acquisition of Verb Argument Realization in Mandarin Chinese

Discourse-information structure has been found to shape the realization of verb argument structure. This study investigates the effects of grammatical roles, information status, and animacy of verb arguments on verb argument realization in the speech of Mandarin-speaking children...

Signatures in the local interstellar medium of electromagnetic radiation produced by neutron star gravitational waves

The Voyager spacecraft have been detecting plasma oscillations of a few kHz for over 40 years. However, there is still no widely accepted hypothesis for the astrophysical source of the oscillations. Having entered the local interstellar medium, these detections have persisted, ad...

Teclistamab Monotherapy in Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma: A Real-World Focused Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Efficacy and Safety

Background/Objectives: Teclistamab is a B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed bispecific antibody approved for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Although prior analyses have summarized teclistamab outcomes, some have included combination regimens or broader comp...
