Transient flash-temperature prediction using asperity microcontact pressure for rough-textured gear-tooth surfaces under mixed lubrication

Localized frictional heating at rough gear interfaces is strongly influenced by transient heat generation at discrete asperity contacts, whereas conventional flash-temperature methods represent the contact using an equivalent macroscopic heat source. This study develops an asperi...

Rewiring Food Allergy Management: From Allergen Detection to Immune Engineering Therapies

BACKGROUND: Food allergy represents a growing global health challenge, particularly among children in developed countries. Despite decades of research, major barriers persist in both allergen detection and durable immune intervention. METHODS: This review synthesizes current diag...

Dryland-to-paddy conversion enhances hydrological functioning by reshaping soil structure in the hilly red soil region of southern China

Soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil structure are key determinants of soil hydraulic properties. However, the roles of SOC fractions and soil structure in regulating hydraulic behavior during dryland (DL) conversion to paddy fields (PF) in the hilly red soil region of southern Chi...

Bioinspired Segregated Networks Couple Phase‐Change Confinement With Ultrafast Sensing for Thermal Energy Storage

ABSTRACT Harvesting ambient renewable energy requires materials that can retain their function under coupled and often harsh environmental conditions. Flexible phase‐change materials (PCMs) are promising for wearable systems because they can integrate thermal regulation, physiolo...

Safety evaluation of large-scale floating wind turbines under extreme typhoon-wave conditions

Coupled extreme typhoon wind and wave loading poses severe challenges to the structural safety of large-scale floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). However, a comprehensive framework that integrates typhoon-environment reconstruction, coupled dynamic analysis, and component-le...

The Effect of Drainage Conditions on the Static Shear Characteristics of Calcareous Silt

Facing the global challenge of sea-level rise, the stability of land reclamation engineering is severely threatened by the weak calcareous silt interlayers formed during its construction process. This study investigated the mechanical behavior and particle breakage characteristic...

An expert routing-driven graph framework from tongue multi-task features to liver fibrosis prediction

Liver fibrosis is a global health concern where early detection is crucial for timely intervention. Traditional Chinese Medicine tongue diagnosis offers a promising non-invasive assessment, but suffers from inter-observer variability and subjective interpretation. Current artific...

Resolving Proton Diffusion Kinetics in Electrolytic Hydrogen Evolution

Abstract Although the hydrogen-bond network within the electrical double layer (EDL) is crucial for proton diffusion in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), its exact role remains controversial. This debate stems from the experimental difficulty in determining the proton diffus...

A TMM-based approach for planar eigenvalued problem of the multi-cross-tie cable-tower-beam system

With the increasing span of cable-stayed bridges, the cables are becoming considerably longer, exacerbating their vibration-related challenges. The introduction of cross-ties for vibration control has been extensively applied in bridge construction, and the dynamic characteristic...

Rational Construction of Indium-TiO2 Interfacial Composites for Boosting Urea Electrosynthesis

The electrocatalytic co-reduction of CO2 and nitrate to urea offers a sustainable route for carbon fixation, nitrogen waste recycling, and high-value chemical production. However, the rational design of efficient electrocatalysts with synergistic activation capability toward both...

Scaling law of piles subjected to dynamic loads for centrifuge model tests. Part Ⅰ: vertical dynamic similarity

In response to the current insufficient in research on dynamic similarity of piles in centrifuge model tests, vertical dynamic similarity conditions through analytical modeling of pile-soil dynamic interaction is obtained in this study. A design approach for model piles is propos...

High-resolution late Quaternary Indo-Pacific Warm Pool benthic δ18O stratigraphy for evaluating the precession timing of the marine Asian monsoons

The timing of Quaternary precession-scale (23 kyr) monsoon variations across the Asia-Australia and the Indo-Pacific regions remains highly debated. The Asian monsoon phase differences of approximately 5 ka reported between a suite of marine sedimentary and speleothem proxy recor...

Multi-agent reasoning for authentic traditional Chinese painting synthesis

Generating Traditional Chinese Paintings (TCPs), also known as Guohua, remains challenging because such paintings are governed not only by visual appearance but also by culturally grounded principles of composition, brushwork, and symbolic intent. Contemporary text-to-image (T2I)...

Screening instruments for somatic symptom disorder: a scoping review of development, validation, and cross-cultural adaptation

Assessment of somatic symptom disorder (SSD) relies on instruments that vary substantially in their target constructs and coverage of DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. This review mapped the DSM-5 content coverage of available instruments and summarized evidence on their psychometric pr...

A Predictive Enrichment Model for Auricular Acupoint Stimulation in Post-Stroke Shoulder-Hand Syndrome: Identifying Baseline Effect Modifiers

Background Auricular acupoint stimulation (AAS) improves upper limb function in poststroke shoulder–hand syndrome (SHS), but treatment response heterogeneity limits personalized application. We aimed to identify baseline effect modifiers that predict differential response to AAS...

A Recyclable Coconut‐Shell‐Carbon‐Based Photocatalyst for Robust Antimicrobial Activity and Enhanced Wound Repair
