Neuroprotection in the early window: a randomized controlled trial of butylphthalide initiation within 3 hours in acute ischemic stroke

Neuroprotective agents have shown promise in preclinical studies but failed to demonstrate efficacy in clinical trials, potentially due to delayed treatment initiation. The optimal therapeutic window for neuroprotection in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains undefined. We aimed t...

Precision targeting of teacher burnout using network-informed ecological momentary interventions

Teacher well-being affects classroom functioning and workforce stability, yet generic digital programs rarely use person-specific affect dynamics to select support. This cluster-randomised trial evaluated whether micro-interventions selected from high expected influence (EI) node...

A Real-Time Single Image Haze Removal Accelerator for Increasingly Automated Vehicles

Autonomous vehicles at L2 and above are increasingly relying on stereo vision systems, where haze removal is critical to detect obstacles hidden in fog. Existing image haze removal techniques have low processing speed and high resource consumption, restricting their application s...

Enhancing optical confinement in hybrid surface plasmonic nanocavities via external mode coupling near avoided resonance crossings

Plasmonic devices have been intensively studied in the past few decades. However, the substantial intrinsic ohmic losses imposed by noble metals highly limited further applications of such devices. Herein, we demonstrate the formation of long-lived states via external mode coupli...
