Reproductive history and age at natural menopause in US women: a cross-sectional analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999 to March 2020

Objective: The associations of parity and gravidity with age at natural menopause (ANM) remain incompletely characterized. We examined parity‐ANM and gravidity‐ANM associations and explored non‐live-birth pregnancies descriptively in a nationally representative sample of US women...

Iterative Optimization of Photoactivatable BRD4 Degraders for Aging‐Amplified Immunotherapy in Patient‐Derived Lung Cancer Organoids

ABSTRACT Cancer remains a major global health threat. Targeted protein degradation (TPD) has revolutionized the modulation of protein function in therapeutic development. Nevertheless, the design of current TPD agents continues to face challenges, including hook effects and, more...

HELO-APR: Enhancing Low-Resource Program Repair through Cross-Lingual Knowledge Transfer

Large Language Models (LLMs) perform well on automatic program repair (APR) for high-resource programming languages (HRPLs), but their effectiveness drops sharply in low-resource programming languages (LRPLs) due to the lack of sufficient verified buggy–fixed pairs for APR traini...

Machine learning-enabled prediction and interpretation of spectroscopic properties in Nd and Y co-doped fluorite platform via local coordination engineering

The design of advanced laser materials demands precise control over the relationship between local structure and spectroscopic performance. However, conventional approaches struggle to quantitatively link complex coordination environments with spectral properties in rare-earth-do...

Light‐Synergistic Enhanced Synaptic Devices Toward Superadditive In‐Sensor Computing

ABSTRACT Conventional neuromorphic devices face challenges in achieving efficient integration of light sensing and synaptic computation because of structural and material limitations. In this work, we developed an indium‐tin‐zinc oxide/transparent gelatin electrolyte synaptic tra...

Overcoming Cross-Sensitivity for the Accurate Identification of Acetone, Isopropanol, and Clinical Mixtures Using a MEMS Dual-Sensor Array and Multi-task Deep Learning

Abstract Accurate detection of exhaled acetone (ACE) and isopropanol (IPA) mixtures is critical for the non-invasive screening of diabetic ketoacidosis and the continuous monitoring of lipid metabolism in type 1 diabetes mellitus. However, the broad clinical application of this a...

A Copula-based composite drought index for vegetation and hydrological droughts

Drought is a complex natural hazard with profound impacts on vegetation and water resources. However, existing monitoring approaches often treat vegetation and hydrological droughts separately, limiting a comprehensive understanding of their interactions. To address this gap, thi...

Integrated FEA and Taguchi-based injection moulding optimisation of a glass fibre-reinforced nylon automotive bracket: a simulation-based study

This simulation based-study presents an integrated computational framework that links injection moulding process optimisation with the thermo-mechanical performance of a glass fibre-reinforced PA66 automotive throttle cable bracket. Unlike conventional approaches that optimise mo...

Theoretical performance analysis of cake-shaped terahertz sensor with three-band resonant absorption for self-referenced refractive index sensing

Our study proposes a cake-shaped terahertz self-referenced refractive index sensor, which combines Al and Al 2 O 3 and utilizes the metal-assisted guided-mode resonance (MAGMR) effect to synergistically enhance the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of a two-dimensional grating, ena...

Analysis of Tonga eruption-induced disturbances in the upper thermosphere based on atmospheric drag accelerations from LEO satellites

Abstract The violent eruption of the Tonga volcano on 15 January 2022 triggered significant disturbances in the atmosphere and ionosphere. However, limited observational capabilities have persistently hindered the characterization of eruption-induced neutral density disturbances...

Interfacial polymerization-based NF/LNF membranes for selective dye/salt fractionation: From dye properties and membrane design to industrial translation

Driven by the increasing demand for green and low-carbon manufacturing and the pursuit of near-zero liquid discharge (NZLD), the valorization of hypersaline textile wastewater streams through the simultaneous reclamation of high-purity salts, residual dyes, and purified water has...

"We are all in big trouble! *Shock Emoji": Personal Narratives in Expressing Emotions, Opinions, and Data Regarding Climate Change in TikTok Short Videos

Climate change is a source of anxiety about the future. Understanding how people express themselves about climate change enables us to address such concerns. To study climate change expression on social media, we analyzed 200 TikTok videos tagged with #climatechange, identifying...

Enhanced Stress Corrosion Cracking Resistance in AA7075 by Laser Shock Peening: A Comparative Study of As‐Cast and T6‐Tempers

ABSTRACT This study investigates the effect of laser shock peening (LSP) on the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance of as‐cast and T6‐treated AA7075 alloys. Microstructural evolution was characterized using CLSM, TEM, and SEM, while residual stress was measured via X‐ray d...
