Economic Status and Decision-Making Behavior: The Cost of Cognitive Control

Economic poverty entails material deprivation and life unpredictability, imposing heavier external constraints on low-income individuals’ goal pursuit than on their higher-income counterparts. We hypothesized that relative economic disadvantage fosters situation-driven decision-m...

Coaxially 3D‐Printed Dual‐Mode Magnetoelectric Fiber Sensors for Robotic Manipulator Proprioception

ABSTRACT Flexible sensors for robotic proprioception are often limited by single transduction pathways and multistep fabrication/assembly strategies, making it difficult to simultaneously achieve integrated static–dynamic motion sensing and structurally continuous deformable devi...

Delocalized Electronic State Mediated NiCoOOH Enables Selective Urea‐to‐Nitrite Oxidation for Direct Urea Fuel Cells

ABSTRACT Selective oxidation of urea to nitrite (NO 2 − ) rather than N 2 is desireable for Direct urea fuel cells (DUFCs), doubling the electron yield per molecule while suppressing gas accumulation. Herein, we report a NiCoOOH model catalyst in which cobalt incorporation stabil...

Confucian ethical spirituality and meaning in life: a longitudinal study of the mediating role of moral identity

Meaning in life is a core component of eudaimonic well-being. Dominant spiritual frameworks in psychology are mostly Western-centric and underrepresent Confucian-based ethical spirituality. Confucian Ethical Spirituality (CES) emphasizes moral self-cultivation, relational harmony...

The Impact of Green Technology Innovation on High‐Quality Economic Development and Its Mechanisms: Evidence From China

ABSTRACT The imbalance between economic development and environmental protection has become a major challenge for regions seeking to achieve high quality economic development under China's new development philosophy. Can green technological innovation promote high quality economi...

A Rapid and Uniform Magnetization Method for Fe 3 O 4 Nanoparticles Assisted by Rotating Magnetic Fields for Microrobots

ABSTRACT Micro/nanorobots have garnered significant attention due to their potential applications in biomedical fields such as minimally invasive surgery, targeted drug delivery, and cell manipulation. Magnetic field actuation, as a non‐invasive and highly biocompatible driving m...

Explainable Transformer-Based Estimation of Surface NO2 Concentrations Across Fujian Province Using TROPOMI Observations

Atmospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is one of the major pollutants affecting environmental quality and human health, yet accurate surface NO2 (NO2Surface) estimation remains challenging due to complex nonlinear relationships between satellite-derived NO2 column density (NO2column)...

Mixture cure rate model with artificial neural network for interval-censored data

Mixture cure rate models represent a valuable tool to delineate the presence of a cured subgroup in the entire population under study. Among the vast literature, a popular research line is to regress the probability of an individual being cured on covariates through a parametric...

Schooling as urban asset: Education, capital and governance in entrepreneurial Chinese city

This paper examines how schooling is being reconstituted as a strategic urban asset in contemporary China. Moving beyond its conventional role as a public good, elite education is increasingly mobilised within a model of education-led entrepreneurial governance. Drawing on an in-...

A response-driven displacement-equivalent pulse-loading method for seismic pounding and fragility assessment of high-speed railway bridges

Seismic pounding between bridge girders and pier-top restraining components can alter the global seismic demand and fragility of high-speed railway (HSR) bridges. Conventional contact-element models require prescribed contact parameters, and their predictions may be sensitive to...

Turning points of subtropical forest carbon sinks in southern China: spatiotemporal dynamics and management insights

Forest carbon sequestration faces the risk of critical transitions under ongoing climate change; however, identifying turning points remains challenging because existing early-warning signal approaches are largely limited to retrospective historical analysis. This study examines...

Risk Assessment of Shield Tunnelling in Mixed Ground Using a Coupled Subjective–Objective Weighting and Fuzzy Set Pair Analysis Model

Shield tunnelling in upper-soft and lower-hard mixed ground is characterised by strong geological heterogeneity and coupled construction risks, including uneven cutterhead loading, face instability, cutter wear and abnormal fluctuations in tunnelling parameters. This study assess...

Donor‐Selective NiCo‐LDH Templating Directs Polymer Assembly for Enhanced Exciton Transport in Efficient Organic Solar Cells

ABSTRACT Organic solar cells (OSCs) have achieved remarkable progress, yet improving exciton utilization in polymer donors remains challenging due to their intrinsically limited exciton diffusion length ( L D ). Here, we report a donor‐selective templating strategy based on few‐l...

Methyl eugenol increases neural microcirculation to promote nerve repair by regulating endothelial cell and Schwann cell communication via Ptn/Sdc4

Neuromicrocirculatory disorders often accompany nerve injury. Improving neural microcirculation can promote the repair of injured nerves. Methyl eugenol is a major bioactive component of Asarum heterotropoides and has been reported to exert analgesic effects in chronic pain. This...

Semilinear damped wave equation on a compact Lie group with a non-autonomous forcing term

Abstract In the present note, we consider a semilinear damped wave equation on a compact Lie group with a non-autonomous nonlinearity $$\varphi (t)|u|^p$$ φ ( t ) | u | p . We are interested in describing how the nonnegative time-dependent factor $$\varphi $$ φ affects the global...

A Surrogate-Assisted Synergistic Co-evolutionary Framework for Computationally Expensive Neural Architecture Search

Abstract Neural Architecture Search (NAS), often formulated as a bilevel optimization problem, presents significant challenges characterized by discrete search spaces and computationally expensive performance evaluations. Standard evolutionary metaheuristics frequently encounter...

FFT-Informer: A Hybrid Frequency–Time Domain Model for Track Irregularity Identification

Abstract Assessing track condition quality is essential for ensuring operational safety and efficiency in high-speed railways. Traditional track irregularity detection relies on dedicated inspection vehicles, which are costly and limited by low inspection frequency. To address th...

The effect of responsibility reframing in translated political news

Abstract When news texts are translated, their original frames undergo further recontextualization whereby they are reframed to align with the dominant ideologies of the target context. The present study explores whether such reframing in translated news influences readers’ attri...

Seismic performance and coupling mechanism of modular concrete shear wall structures under multi-directional excitation
