A pH-Responsive Ceria-Supported Iridium Clusterzyme for Combined Antibacterial and Anti-inflammatory Therapies in Diabetic Wound Healing

Abstract The treatment of diabetic wounds is hindered by multiple factors, including Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) biofilms (the predominant pathogen in diabetic wound infections), dysregulated immune responses, and insufficient angiogenesis. The complex interactions among th...

Multi-omics and machine learning reveal the mechanisms underlying cultivar-driven flavor differentiation in fermented ciba chili

Ciba chili quality is strongly influenced by raw material characteristics, but the cultivar-driven mechanisms underlying quality differentiation remain unclear. Ciba chili made from Inner Yellow New Generation (ICP), Lantern (LCP), and Devil's (DCP) peppers was comprehensively in...

Recurrent reversible mutations at gaf1 driving metastable TORC1 inhibitor resistance in fission yeast

ABSTRACT Metastable phenotypic inheritance is often attributed to epigenetic mechanisms, but reversible genetic alterations can produce similar instability. Here, we investigated the basis of unstable resistance to TORC1 inhibitor (rapamycin plus caffeine) in Schizosaccharomyces...

Case report: septal radiofrequency ablation for sigmoid ventricular septum-related dynamic obstruction: with observations suggesting left bundle branch block as a potential therapeutic collaborator

Abstract Background Sigmoid ventricular septum (SVS) can cause dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) during stress. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been used for septal reduction in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, but its application in SVS is limi...

Topology-aware self-supervised multivariate KPI anomaly detection and root cause node localization for network operations

Multivariate key performance indicator (KPI) streams collected in network operations contain rich evidence for anomaly diagnosis, but practical deployment remains difficult because fault labels are scarce, KPI dependencies are strong across time and metrics, and fault effects pro...

Self-reported sports participation is associated with Y-Balance performance and centre-of-pressure measures in young adults

Abstract This exploratory cross-sectional study examined associations between a study-specific self-reported sports-participation category and balance measures in 65 healthy young adults, including 32 participants in the sports-participation group and 33 in the non-sports-partici...

On Damage Degree and Evolution of Mechanical and Electromagnetic Properties for SiC f /Si 3 N 4 Composites in Rain Erosion Process

ABSTRACT This study comprehensively investigates the damage evolution and property degradation of SiC f /Si 3 N 4 composites subjected to high‐speed waterjet impacts simulating rain erosion. The composites are fabricated by CVI using SiC fiber fabric preform with BN interface and...

The Watchful Eye: Government Accounting Supervision and Its Effects on Supply Chain Finance

ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact of government accounting supervision on the adoption of supply chain finance (SCF) among Chinese listed firms. Using a difference‐in‐differences (DID) approach and a comprehensive dataset spanning 1999 to 2022, we find robust evidence t...

Functional properties of natural polysaccharides and their applications in meat products: mechanisms and research prospects

Abstract Meat products, as an important component of the human diet, have attracted widespread attention due to their high nutritional value. However, they often face challenges such as allergenicity, short shelf life, and nutritional loss. In recent years, the interaction betwee...

Fast Generation of Feasible Unit Commitment Schedules Based on Standardized Net-Load Trajectory Similarity and Historical Schedule Transfer

High penetration of wind and photovoltaic generation reshapes power system net-load profiles and increases the computational burden of repeatedly solving security-constrained unit commitment problems under multiple renewable scenarios. This paper proposes a fast schedule generati...

The Effects of High-Definition Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (HD-tACS) on Dual-Task Performance and Upper-Limb Multi-Joint Motor Control

This study investigated the effects of high-definition transcranial alternating current stimulation (HD-tACS) on cognitive–motor dual-task performance and upper-limb multi-joint motor control. Sixteen right-handed healthy male participants completed a double-blind, randomized cro...

Does Smart City Policy Widen the Urban–Rural Income Gap? Evidence from the Yangtze River Delta Using a Double Machine Learning Approach

The urban–rural income gap remains a major obstacle to achieving common prosperity and poses a key challenge for developing countries undergoing modernization. Smart city initiatives may reshape wealth creation and income distribution while promoting urban development. Using pane...

An Improved Informed-RRT* Algorithm Based on Risk-Density-Aware Corridor Sampling and Improvement-Bound Rejection for Path Planning

Sampling-based path planning is widely used in autonomous navigation, but Informed-RRT* still relies mainly on geometric ellipsoidal sampling and does not explicitly evaluate local obstacle risk, which can lead to invalid expansion, redundant nodes, and slow convergence. This pap...

Global research landscape of natural medicines for lower urinary tract symptoms: bibliometric and clinical trial analysis

Abstract Background Natural medicines have demonstrated significant therapeutic potential in the management and attenuation of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). According to the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), a total of 497 related articles have been published during...

Prioritizing sustainable practices for decarbonizing construction SMEs: an actionable roadmap for capability development in developing economies

Purpose As the construction sector strives to meet global climate targets, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in developing economies represent a critical yet often overlooked frontier for decarbonization. Despite their significant role, construction SMEs face barriers suc...

Recent Increaseof Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Cryosphere-InfluencedReservoirs under Climate Change

Abstract Global warming leads to cryosphere degradation, transferring large amounts of terrestrial carbon and nitrogen to reservoirs, which may accelerate the release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) to the atmosphere. However, the spatial dynamics and decadal trends of GHG emissions f...
