Post-Functionalized Vinyl-Addition Polynorbornenes as Modular Platforms for Anion Exchange Membranes: Structure–Property Relationships

Abstract Fully hydrocarbon-based anion exchange membranes (AEMs) were developed through a facile post-polymerization strategy using vinyl-addition polynorbornene (VA-PNB) backbones. A high-molecular-weight poly(5-vinyl-2-norbornene) (PVNB) precursor was synthesized via chemoselec...

Density functional theory study of native point defects in CaO

We investigate the structural, electronic, and optical properties of native point defects in CaO using first-principles density functional calculations. Oxygen vacancies (VO) are favored under O-poor conditions, whereas calcium vacancies (VCa) dominate under O-rich conditions. Ca...

Candidate neurobiological pathways linking physical exercise to cognition in Parkinson’s disease: a hypothesis-generating translational framework

Cognitive impairment is a major nonmotor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), yet effective strategies for preserving cognitive function remain limited. Although physical exercise may confer cognitive benefits, the biological pathways linking exercise to cognition in PD remain in...

Integrated Assessment of Pollen Substitute Diets in Honey Bees Based on Transcriptional Responses, Immune-Derived Predicted Biological Age, and Survival

Heat events and nutritional stress threaten honey bee health, but how pollen substitute formulation shapes responses to acute heat remains unclear. Newly emerged Apis mellifera workers received three pollen substitute diets or two beebread-based reference diets for five days befo...

Comparative Toxicity of Antifouling Paint Particle Suspensions and Dissolved Leachates in the Marine Copepod Tigriopus japonicus

Antifouling paint particles (APPs), generated by coating degradation and ship-maintenance activities, are an emerging but poorly characterized source of marine pollution. APPs can release particle-associated and dissolved toxicants, yet their relative contributions to toxicity re...

Associations of adiposity and physical fitness with hippocampaldependent mnemonic discrimination in postmenopausal women

[Purpose] This study examined the associations of adiposity indices and physical fitness components with domain-specific cognitive function in postmenopausal women, focusing on hippocampus-dependent mnemonic discrimination.[Methods] The study involved 68 postmenopausal women aged...

Waste Management for Sustainable Port Development: A Two‐Stage Data Envelopment Analysis

ABSTRACT Environmental efficiency is a pillar of overall sustainable efficiency, where the capacity to regulate carbon dioxide emissions serves as a key constraint on sustainable port development. Consequently, amid the global transition toward sustainable port operations, improv...

Flexible and Transparent Ga 2 O 3 /NiO Photovoltaic Diode for Full‐Wave Rectification in Wearable Optoelectronics

ABSTRACT Flexible and transparent electronic components are critical for next‐generation wearable optoelectronic devices, which require lightweight, flexible, and optically transparent power solutions. Wearable systems, including smart textiles, flexible displays, and bioelectron...

Evaluating In-Vehicle Drunk-Driving Warning Symbols Using Generative AI: A Comparison with Human Judgments

This study examined whether Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) can evaluate in-vehicle drunk-driving warning symbols (telltales) in ways comparable to human perceptual and semantic judgments. Using visibility and intuitiveness ratings collected from Korean and Texas-based U....

Pedestrian-Safety Perceptions in Automated-Vehicle Crossing Scenarios: An Immersive Virtual-Reality Experiment

Understanding how pedestrians perceive roadway conditions and vehicle-state communication is important for examining pedestrian interactions with automated vehicles (AVs). This study used an immersive virtual reality experiment to examine three trial-level perception outcomes—per...

Self-Regulating Polymer–Carbon Nanotube Composite Heater on Meta-Aramid Textile

Electric vehicles (EVs) lack a substantial source of recoverable powertrain waste heat, making cabin heating a direct parasitic load on the battery and thereby increasing the need for efficient and spatially distributed thermal management strategies. In this study, a flexible sel...

Performance Analysis and Modeling of a Multiphase Switched Reluctance Generator Under Fault Conditions for Wind Energy Applications

The growing demand for reliable and sustainable renewable energy systems has increased interest in advanced electrical machines for wind energy conversion. Among these, the multiphase switched reluctance generator (SRG) offers advantages such as simple construction, low cost, hig...

Wearable photovoltaic textiles: From device technologies to long‐term reliability

Abstract Photovoltaic (PV) textiles are emerging as a promising class of energy‐harvesting systems that combine solar conversion capability with the softness, porosity, and wearability of fabrics. Unlike conventional rigid modules, PV textiles are designed to conform to the human...

Ferritin Complex Vaccine against Influenza A Using Screened Immunogenic Sequences from Fv-Antibody Library

Abstract A ferritin-based influenza A vaccine was developed. The immunogenic sequences of the nucleoprotein (NP) were screened using an autodisplayed Fv-antibody library, and the paratopes with a high-affinity binding affinity were analyzed through docking simulations. The result...
