Physics‐Informed Neural Networks for Flexoelectric Boundary Value Problems: A Reformulated Architecture for High‐ and Mixed‐Order Electromechanically Coupled Systems

ABSTRACT Flexoelectricity denotes a universal electromechanical coupling in dielectric materials, whereby strain gradients break local inversion symmetry and induce electric polarization. The resulting boundary value problem (BVP) is governed by a coupled multi‐physics system of...

RITRA: A Rolling Bayesian Information-Theoretic Framework for Multi-UAV Task Allocation Under False Alarm Uncertainty

In complex operational environments, signal ambiguity and false alarms make task allocation for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) challenging. To address this problem, we propose the Bayesian Rolling Information-Theoretic Reconnaissance Action Assignment (RITRA) framework....

How Do Households Respond to Expected Inflation? An Investigation of Transmission Mechanisms,

Abstract We investigate the channels through which inflation expectations affect household spending by conducting surveys featuring hypothetical scenarios involving an increase in inflation expectations. Most households did not adjust their current spending plans, often because t...

Palmitoylation of TK1 exacerbates osteoarthritis by promoting JNK-mediated metabolic reprogramming

Osteoarthritis (OA) lacks approved disease-modifying therapies. Here, by integrating quantitative proteomics with reanalysis of public single-cell RNA sequencing data from human articular cartilage, we identify thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) as a pathogenic regulator linking inflammato...

Polymer Substrates for Flexible Sensors: Advances and Contributions to Smart Agriculture

ABSTRACT The advancement of smart agriculture is becoming increasingly dependent on sensor technologies that enable the digitization and optimization of agricultural processes. Traditional sensors, however, are constrained by their inherent rigidity, poor conformability to irregu...

Fail-Slow Hardware Failure Bug Analysis and Detection for Cloud Systems

Fail-slow hardwares are still running and functional, but in a degraded mode, thus slower than their expected performance. Bugs triggered by fail-slow hardwares cause severe cloud system failures. Existing testing tools fail to efficiently detect these bugs due to overlooking the...

Calibration method of driving energy for vaporizing foil actuator welding and its application

In this study, a driving energy calibration method applicable to the vaporizing foil actuator (VFA) was proposed and applied to the process of vaporizing foil actuator welding (VFAW). This method is based on a technical approach combining high-speed photography with finite elemen...

A hierarchical whole-body control framework for humanoid robots in shelf-picking

Purpose This paper aims to present a hierarchical whole-body control (H-WBC) framework for humanoid shelf-picking in structured shelf environments. The objective is to improve motion coordination, posture regulation and safe task execution for humanoid manipulation in spatially c...

Smart Rubber Composites for Building Structure Monitoring: Laboratory Experiments and Molecular Simulations

Abstract Intelligent sensing technology offers great promise for structural health monitoring (SHM) of building structures. Nevertheless, conventional strain sensors suffer from fragility, low sensitivity, and limitations in real-time monitoring, which have hindered their widespr...

Nasolacrimal duct obstruction following allo-HSCT: an overlooked manifestation of ocular graft-versus-host disease

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a curative treatment for a broad spectrum of benign and malignant haematological disorders [ 1 ]. However, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remains a major long-term complication, with ocular involvement occurring...

Spatially defined IGF1R-STMN1 axis delineates a metastatic cell state in osteosarcoma

Abstract Metastatic osteosarcoma (OS) remains the leading cause of disease-related mortality, yet effective therapies are still lacking. Here, we integrated single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and functional assays to investigate signaling dependencies in OS meta...

Longitudinal dynamics of the maternal gut virome associate with metabolic features of preterm birth

Preterm birth (PTB) remains a major pregnancy complication, yet the role of the maternal gut virome in its etiology is largely unknown. Here we show that the maternal gut virome undergoes ecological destabilization prior to PTB, coupled with distinct host metabolic remodeling. Ne...

Signal Detection and Temporal Analysis of Aromatase Inhibitor‐Associated Hepatotoxicity: A Pharmacovigilance Study Integrating Bayesian Belief‐Propagation Network and Frequentist Metrics

ABSTRACT Background This study assessed the real‐world hepatotoxicity of third‐generation aromatase inhibitors (AIs) for breast cancer using pharmacovigilance approaches. Methods FAERS data (Q1 2004–Q1 2025) were analysed using a data‐driven disproportionality analysis framework...

Deciphering the mechanistic landscape of notch signaling in autoimmune pathogenesis

Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders with multiple etiologies that disrupt normal immunological function, leading to the immune system mistakenly attacking the body’s own tissues. The Notch signaling pathway is a conserved pathway that is in part responsible for multiple...
