Counterfactual load forecasting with LLM-structured events and representation learning

News-reported social, environmental, and grid events can substantially reshape electricity demand, yet quantifying how such events perturb forecasted load trajectories remains largely unaddressed. Existing news-augmented forecasting studies use news as auxiliary features to reduc...

Shielding against interpersonal threat in later life: The regulatory function of nostalgia among older adults.

= 189, age 21-78 years), older adults reported greater nostalgic engagement in response to social exclusion induced by the Cyberball game than younger adults. Furthermore, after experiencing nostalgia, compared to younger adults, older adults reported increased social engagement...

Spectral configurations and interferences in outdoor artificial light at night (ALAN) exposure measurements and sleep quality modeling

Outdoor artificial light at night (ALAN) may impact human health through disturbing human circadian rhythms. Laboratory experiments have shown that spectral differences in ALAN may lead to disparities in disturbing human circadian rhythms, but such spectral differences are overlo...

Defect Engineering of DNA Origami ROS Sensors for Portable Urinalysis

ABSTRACT Translating in situ dynamic changes of key signaling molecules into actionable clinical readouts remains a formidable challenge for noninvasive diagnostics. Here, focusing on reactive oxygen species (ROS) as pivotal signaling mediators, we developed defect‐programmed DNA...

Regional integration and firms’ environmental performance: Evidence from Chinese urban agglomerations under relative regulatory stringency

Abstract Regional integration is widely promoted as a path to greener urban agglomerations, but its firm-level environmental effect remains uncertain because integration can also lower the cost of pollution relocation. This study examines how the regulatory gap between core and p...

Early life sugar rationing and ageing related diseases, biological ageing and mortality

Early-life nutrition may influence lifelong ageing, yet human evidence is scarce. Using Britain’s postwar sugar rationing as a natural experiment, we examine its long-term effects in 64,809 United Kingdom Biobank participants. Exposure to sugar rationing during the first 1,000 da...
