Detection of Hydrogen Spillover Over Pt Catalysts Supported on UiO‐66‐NO 2 Under Practical Conditions and the Corresponding Ligand Effect

The existence and the roles of hydrogen spillover in heterogeneous catalysts under practical conditions are still under debate. This is particularly true for metal catalysts supported on metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs). Here, we prepared a Pt/UiO‐66‐NO 2 catalyst and a Pt/UiO‐66‐...

Watermelon vine as dual-functional additive in ecological porous concrete

Ecological porous concrete (EPC) is constrained by a persistent trade-off: the dense cementitious matrix required for strength reduces porosity and generates a highly alkaline pore environment (pH > 11) inimical to plant growth. To address this, the present study investigates wat...

The Transcription Factor PRDM15 Activates the PPP2R5C / PI3K ‐Akt Pathway to Promote Steroid Hormone Secretion in Goat Granulosa Cells

Whose Voice Survives? A Multi-Translation Reference-Space Framework for Evaluating Narrator Differentiation in LLM Literary Translation: A Case Study of as I Lay Dying

Evaluating literary translation by large language models (LLMs) remains challenging because semantically plausible outputs may still alter the linguistic and cognitive features that distinguish individual narrators. We address this problem by developing and validating a multi-tra...

Harnessing Ratoon Cropping for Mitigating Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Ratoon cropping systems have gained increasing attention for their potential to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). Building on the well-established root system of the previous crop, ratoon crops require...

Polarotactic Aggregation of the Migratory Locust Locusta migratoria migratorioides (Insecta: Orthoptera) Driven by Spectral-Polarization Vector Combinations

The migratory locust, Locusta migratoria migratorioides (Fairmaire et L.J. Reiche) (Insecta: Orthoptera) (syn. L. m. manilensis), exhibits polarization-sensitive (polarotactic) aggregation behavior that can be exploited for behavioral control. This study elucidates the effects of...

Multilevel Mechanisms by Which Membrane Transport Proteins Regulate Plant Responses to Heavy Metal Stress: From Ion Perception and Uptake Control to Systemic Signaling and Translational Perspectives

ABSTRACT Soil heavy metal contamination—including cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), zinc (Zn) excess, and copper (Cu) excess—poses a critical threat to sustainable agriculture and food safety. Membrane transport proteins serve as primary interfaces governing io...

Mixed‐Valence Engineering in Ge 2+ Chalcogenides: Structural Modulation for Balanced Infrared Nonlinear Optics

ABSTRACT Resolving the intrinsic trade‐off between strong second‐harmonic generation (SHG) and a wide band gap remains a central challenge in infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Here, we report a mixed‐valence engineering strategy to realize a previously unexplored Ge 2+...

Star polycation nanocarrier selectively enhances mesotrione control efficacy via reduced particle size and improved foliar absorption

Abstract BACKGROUND Nanocarrier‐based formulations offer a superior means of enhancing control efficacy and increasing utilization. Star polycation (SPc) was an efficient nanocarrier of insecticides and fungicides. However, whether it could serve as an herbicide nanocarrier needs...

Dynamic obstacle avoidance method for 3D animation group based on multi-agent reinforcement learning

At the forefront of 3D animation, virtual reality and robotics, it is difficult to realistically and efficiently simulate the group behavior of a large number of people and objects. Previously, traditional rule-based or optimization-based methods often encountered critical proble...

DCA-based multimodal fusion for robust recognition of adolescent sports and abnormal health behaviors

Dynamic monitoring of health behaviors in adolescent sports is crucial for promoting healthy growth. Traditional monitoring methods, however, suffer from limitations such as incomplete data acquisition, low analysis efficiency, and poor sustainability. This study addresses these...

MergeNeXt: a hybrid CNN–transformer model for retinal OCT image classification
