Solvent-engineered Ni-Co selenide-Ti3C2Tx MXene heterostructures with interfacial electronic coupling for integrated water splitting and energy storage

Developing cost-effective bifunctional materials that seamlessly integrate energy conversion and storage is critical for next-generation energy systems. Herein, we report a solvent-engineered, in situ solvothermal strategy to fabricate Ni-Co selenide-Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene (NCSM) het...

Sticker Valence Governs Chain Collapse and Liquid‐Liquid Phase Separation in Peptide‐Inspired Associative Polymers

Biomolecular condensates, including membraneless organelles, form through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) driven by sequence-specific associations within intrinsically disordered protein regions. Understanding how sticker valence governs LLPS is essential for predicting pat...

Production-Type-Specific Spatial and Space–Time Clustering of High-Pathogenicity Avian Influenza Outbreaks in Layer and Duck Farms in the Republic of Korea, 2020–2026

High-pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) remains a recurrent threat to poultry production in the Republic of Korea, but production-type-specific clustering has rarely been assessed against the underlying farm population. This retrospective unmatched case–control point-pattern st...

TrivalentAl Insertion into Layered-Oxide-DerivedPerovskite Oxynitrides for Defect-Controlled Dielectric Response

Abstract Al-containing perovskite oxynitrides, SrAl0.2M0.8O2.4N0.6 (M = Nb, Ta), were synthesized by ammonolysis of layered Sr5M4O15 precursors with α-Al2O3. This reaction demonstrates that the cation-insertion chemistry of layered-perovskite-derived oxynitrides can be extended t...

Water Quality and Growth Responses of Catfish, Leather Carp, and Goldfish in an Indoor Aquaponics System Integrated with Apple Mint

Aquaponics integrates fish culture with hydroponic plant production, enabling a sustainable approach to food production through nutrient recycling. This study evaluated the growth performance of three freshwater fish species—catfish (Silurus asotus; T1), leather carp (Cyprinus ca...

Machine learning-assisted prediction of 5-year mortality in chronic kidney disease: the KoreaN cohort study for Outcome in patients With Chronic Kidney Disease (KNOW-CKD)

Background: Mortality prediction models for patients with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) remain limited despite their clinical importance. While machine learning (ML) offers the potential to improve prediction accuracy, its "black-box" nature has hindered clinical adop...

Development of a Low‐Starch‐Digestibility Korean Rice Snack ( Nurungji ) Substituted With Tenebrio molitor Larvae: Rheological and Sensory Enhancement

ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Starch‐based rice snacks are widely consumed but generally have low protein content and high glycemic response. This study evaluated the effects of mealworm protein forms on the rheological, nutritional, and flavor properties of a traditional Ko...

Development and pilot evaluation of an AI-based pediatric medication safety virtual simulation program for nursing students: a quasi-experimental study in South Korea

PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based pediatric medication safety competence (PMSC) virtual simulation program and evaluate its effectiveness among nursing students. METHODS: This quasi-experimental study used a nonequivalent control group pre...

Factors affecting the performance of standard precautions focusing on the health belief model in South Korea: a cross-sectional study

PURPOSE: This study aimed to examine the factors affecting the performance of standard precautions among third- and fourth-year nursing students. Focusing on the health belief model, it included individual factors such as knowledge of standard precautions, health beliefs, and sel...
