Sepsis: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, and Management

ABSTRACT Sepsis remains a major cause of global morbidity and mortality despite advances in recognition, antimicrobial therapy, and organ support, reflecting its biological heterogeneity and the absence of broadly effective host‐directed treatments. Here, we synthesize recent evi...

A novel FRP–steel–UHPC composite column system for marine structures: Axial compressive behavior and analytical model

Abstract To address the requirements for high‐performance and green marine engineering structures, this paper presents a novel FRP–steel–UHPC composite tube confined seawater sea‐sand concrete column (FSU–SSC). Axial compression tests were performed on 12 specimens to examine the...

Effects of core stability training on lower-limb performance in athletes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Core stability training (CST) is widely used in athletic conditioning, but evidence for its effects on lower-limb performance remains inconsistent across performance domains and assessment methods. This review evaluated the effects of CST on lower-limb performance in athletes. Th...

Artificial Intelligence in Environmental Monitoring, Pollution Control, and Low-Carbon Management

Air pollution, water contamination, soil degradation, solid waste accumulation, and carbon emissions are increasingly interconnected, posing common challenges to environmental engineering, including diverse monitoring targets, heterogeneous data sources, competing control objecti...

Inhibition of neuronal DICER–miR-34a/346 signaling attenuates amyloid pathology in 5×FAD mice

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators of genes underlying Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis, yet the role of neuronal DICER, a key ribonuclease essential for miRNA maturation, remains unclear. While biochemical analysis of human postmortem cortical tissues revealed upreg...

Multibody dynamic characteristics of a co-rotating scroll hydrogen recirculation pump

Co-rotating scroll hydrogen recirculation pump (CSHRP) for hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles is characterized by compactness, high efficiency, and low noise, which have brought it into the spotlight. However, the dynamics of the CSHRP in multi-clearance coupling conditions are...

A Second-Order Product-Type Implicit-Explicit Runge-Kutta Method Preserving Unit Length and Energy Dissipation Structures for Gradient Flows of Vector Fields

Abstract. Gradient flows of unit vector fields arise in a wide range of physical models such as harmonic map heat flows, nematic liquid crystals, and magnetization dynamics. Designing numerical schemes that simultaneously preserve the unit length constraint and dissipate energy i...

Too little time, too much to do: how time poverty undermines employees’ proactive service behavior

Purpose This paper aims to examine the relationship between time poverty and hotel employees’ proactive service behavior by identifying future self-continuity as a mediator and competitive climate as a moderator. Design/methodology/approach This research uses a multimethod design...

Effects of β-alanine supplementation on high-intensity intermittent exercise performance and post-exercise blood lactate responses in team-sport athletes: a systematic review and three-level meta-analysis

Abstract Background β-Alanine is widely used for high-intensity exercise, but its effects in team-sport athletes are uncertain. This systematic review and three-level meta-analysis evaluated high-intensity intermittent exercise (HIIE) performance and post-exercise blood lactate....

Modulation of the gut–liver axis via TMAO metabolism by Ramulus Mori alkaloids alleviates diabetic atherosclerosis

Diabetic atherosclerosis is a complex condition driven by intertwined metabolic disturbances including hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, inflammation, and oxidative stress. The gut microbiota-derived metabolite trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) has emerged as a key contributor that links...

Application of data driven POD reduced order model to helical cruciform fuel rod bundle

To enable efficient and accurate prediction of coolant thermal–hydraulic characteristics in helical cruciform fuel rod bundle channels, a data-driven rapid prediction framework is developed by combining proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) with surrogate models. Optimal Latin hy...

Plant growth regulator diethyl aminoethyl hexanoate suppresses Aspergillus flavus growth and aflatoxin biosynthesis through disruption of redox homeostasis

ABSTRACT Aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁), produced by Aspergillus flavus , is a major threat to food safety and human health. In this study, we report that diethyl aminoethyl hexanoate (DA-6), a plant growth regulator, exhibits strong antifungal and anti-aflatoxigenic activities against A. f...

On Realization of Back‐Action‐Evading Measurements and Quantum Non‐Demolition Variables via Linear Systems Engineering

ABSTRACT We establish a framework for realizing back‐action‐evading (BAE) measurements and quantum non‐demolition (QND) variables in linear quantum systems. The key condition, a purely imaginary Hamiltonian matrix with a real or imaginary coupling operator matrix, enables BAE mea...
