What Drives the Selectivity of 5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfural Electroreduction over Copper in Mildly Basic Medium?

Abstract 2,5-Bishydroxymethylfuran (BHMF) is an important bio-based monomer that can be produced via the electrochemical reduction of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) on Cu electrocatalysts. Under mildly alkaline conditions, however, BHMF formation competes with hydrodimerization...

Variational inequalities and smooth-fit principle for singular stochastic control problems in Hilbert spaces

We consider a class of infinite-dimensional singular stochastic control problems. These can be thought of as spatial monotone follower problems and find applications in spatial models of production and climate transition. Let (D,M,μ) be a finite measure space and consider the Hil...

Bittersweet dynamics from flowers to fruits: chemometric molecular networking reveals metabolic changes towards reduced toxicity over ontogeny in above-ground Solanum dulcamara chemotypes

Poisonous plants frequently deploy toxic metabolites in an organ- and ontogenetic-specific manner, yet the developmental dynamics of these plant specialised metabolites remain poorly understood. In the Solanaceae, steroidal glycosides (SGs), including steroidal glycoalkaloids (SG...

Fostering public value through a collaborative organizational culture in highly vulnerable social contexts

Purpose This study aims to investigate how internal collaborative culture within public educational institutions influences the creation of public value, particularly in contexts of social and economic vulnerability. While public value theory has evolved from managerial to co-pro...

Exclusive Secrets,

Abstract We investigate the effects of trade secret (TS) protection on supplier exclusivity in vertical industrial relations. We show that manufacturers limit their suppliers’ buyer networks under weak TS protection to safeguard sensitive information while encouraging supplier in...

Could NQO1 genotypes impact the results of clinical trials with idebenone?

Carelli et al. argue that new insights into how NQO1 influences the response to idebenone warrant reevaluating the results of previous clinical trials, including those in Friedreich ataxia and Duchenne muscular dystrophy, using patient stratification by NQO1 genotype.

Concerning uncertainty—a systematic survey of uncertainty-aware XAI

This paper surveys uncertainty-aware explainable artificial intelligence (UAXAI), examining how uncertainty is incorporated into explanatory pipelines and how such methods are evaluated. Across the literature, three recurring approaches to uncertainty quantification (UQ) emerge (...

Kombucha Bacterial Cellulose Obtained from Tea Fermentation for Biomedical Applications

Abstract The symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) driving kombucha tea fermentation produces a cellulose pellicle with remarkable promise for biomedical applications. Unlike well-studied bacterial cellulose (BC), which is produced by single-strain cultures, the underex...
