Genome-wide identification and tissue-specific profiling of microRNAs in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key post-transcriptional regulators involved in plant development, metabolism, and stress adaptation. Despite the agronomic importance of lentil ( Lens culinaris Medik.), its miRNA landscape remains relatively underexplored. This study aimed to generate a c...

Hydrologic model parameter estimation in snow-dominated headwater catchments using multiple observation datasets

Abstract. Hydrologic models are often calibrated using streamflow alone, but increasing availability of in situ and satellite-based observations provide numerous opportunities to constrain model outputs and improve process representation. However, as new observation data emerges,...

Building a Physics-Aware AI Ecosystem for Solid-State Hydrogen Storage Materials

Abstract Hydrogen storage remains a central bottleneck for scalable hydrogen energy systems due to the multiscale and coupled nature of the thermodynamics, kinetics, and microstructural evolution of hydrogen storage materials (HSMs). Although artificial intelligence (AI) has acce...

The Potential of Operando DRIFT Spectroscopy for Studying Degradation Mechanisms of Metal Oxide‐Based Electrochemical Cells

ABSTRACT High‐temperature electrochemical oxide devices are promising for many applications. These devices are known to be prone to degradation, yet the mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this perspective, we summarize the techniques most used to study degradation in metal o...

Influenceof Chalcogen Bonding on Lattice Dynamicsin Isostructural Molecular Solids

Abstract Solid-state lattice dynamics can significantly impact the expression of material properties in crystalline molecular materials, complicating crystal engineering efforts that approach materials design from a primarily static structural picture. While noncovalent interacti...

Child-Well Stimulation Intensity in Unconventional Reservoirs: Impacts on Well Performance, Economics, and Environmental Considerations

Child-well stimulation design has become a central challenge in mature unconventional reservoirs, where infill wells are commonly completed in reservoirs that have already been modified by parent-well production. Prior depletion changes pore pressure, stress distribution, and fra...

Surface roughness dating for lava flows: a new remote sensing geochronometer for volcanic hazard assessment

Abstract Regional geologic histories are key to mitigating the impact of geologic hazards on nearby communities, but standard geochronology remains costly and labor-intensive. In contrast, surface roughness derived from high-resolution topographic data is an emerging technique fo...

Bulk degradation of P-, Sb- and As-doped Cz Si wafers and TOPCon cells due to light and elevated temperature

We assessed light- and elevated-temperature induced degradation (LeTID) in n -type Czochralski (Cz) Si wafers, and industrial tunnel oxide passivating contact (TOPCon) Si solar cells processed with and without the laser-enhanced contact optimization (LECO). A recovery pre-treatme...

Configuring Industrial Wireless Mesh Networks via Multi-Source Domain Adaptation and Feature Masking

Low-power wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have been widely deployed to connect sensors, actuators, and controllers in industrial facilities. As industrial WMNs become increasingly heterogeneous and complex, recent research has reported that resorting to advanced machine learning te...
