Cluster-level analysis in three-level cluster randomised trials with multi-level covariate-dependent missingness

Community-based public health interventions often use three-level cluster randomised trials (CRTs), for example, individuals are nested within households which are again nested within communities. In these trials, outcome missingness commonly depends on baseline covariates measur...

Confined Water Wires as Anisotropic Proton Highways in a Neutral Polymer Single Crystal

Abstract Directional proton transport is central to bioenergetics and emerging electrochemical technologies, yet achieving high and anisotropic proton conductivity in fully covalent, charge-neutral crystalline materials remains a challenge. Here, we report anisotropic proton cond...

Heme-Mediated Charge Transport Modulation: Coupling Biological Recognition to Solid-State Protein Electronics

Abstract Integrating the selectivity of biological recognition with the robustness of solid-state electronics remains a formidable challenge. Here, we demonstrate the functional integration of myoglobin (Mb) and its heme-depleted analogue, apomyoglobin (apoMb), within lithographi...

On $$\vec {p}(\cdot )$$-Laplacian Equations with Generalized Anisotropic Neumann Boundary Condition

Abstract In this paper, we investigate the existence and multiplicity of solutions for an anisotropic variable exponent problem of the form $$\begin{aligned} -\sum _{i=1}^{N}\frac{\partial }{\partial x_{i}} \left( \left| \frac{\partial u}{\partial x_{i}}\right| ^{p_{i}(x)-2} \fra...

Triple-Helical Assembly of Atomically Precise Silver Nanocluster-Assembled Material: A p-Type Semiconductor

Abstract The construction of helical architectures from achiral building blocks remains a fundamental challenge in supramolecular and materials chemistry. We report the first triple-helical cluster-assembled material constructed entirely from achiral components via covalent coord...

Reaction–Transport Coupling Drives Spatiotemporal Organization in Fuel‐Driven Supramolecular Polymerization

ABSTRACT Chemically fueled supramolecular systems provide a versatile platform for generating nonequilibrium structures and dynamical instabilities, including chemical oscillations and traveling waves reminiscent of biological organization. However, a minimal mechanistic framewor...

Magnetized Dense Matter in the Nambu–Jona–Lasinio Model and Its Applications to Compact Stars

We review the properties of strongly interacting matter under the influence of an external magnetic field, with emphasis on results obtained using the Nambu–Jona–Lasinio model and its variants. Strong magnetic fields, relevant for heavy-ion collisions and magnetars, introduce mod...

A matrix-targeting enzyme and an engineered bioactive gauze enable resistance-agnostic antibiofilm wound care

The development of biocompatible strategies that dismantle biofilm architecture without exerting bactericidal pressure represents a major challenge in translational biotechnology and materials engineering. Here, we present a matrix-targeted enzymatic strategy for biofilm control...
