Phase-Programmed Charge Routing Governs Kinetic and Thermodynamic Molecular Selectivity for Chemiresistive Sensors

Abstract Controlling molecular selectivity in chemiresistive gas sensors remains a fundamental challenge, particularly for chemically analogous analytes that generate indistinguishable electronic responses. Here, we demonstrate that polymorph-engineered MoS2/SnO2 heterointerfaces...

One-pot chemical vapor deposition (OP-CVD) of period-4 transition metal oxide catalysts supported on CeO2: A comparative study for CO Oxidation

Ceria-supported catalysts have been used in catalysis, however, facile synthesis routes are a necessity. Herein, we develop transition metal oxide catalysts (TMO x ) over CeO 2 support via one-pot chemical vapor deposition (OP-CVD), where period 4 TM: Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu were cons...

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...

NEMO (IKKγ) citrullination in microglia promotes neuroinflammation in the post-ischemic brain

Peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) catalyzes the post-translational conversion of positively charged arginine residues into neutral citrulline. This modification, known as citrullination, is implicated in various pathological conditions, including those affecting the central nervou...

Ultrafast Nuclear Rearrangement Governs Excited‐State Radial π‐Conjugation and Electron Transfer Dynamics in Organic Nanoring

ABSTRACT Radial π‐conjugation provides a unique platform for extending electronic delocalization in cyclic molecular architectures. Although radial π‐conjugation is relatively robust against static disorders in the ground state, both theoretical and experimental observations indi...

Tigecycline versus doxycycline for scrub typhus: a preliminary randomized trial

Abstract Background Doxycycline is the standard treatment for scrub typhus, but evidence regarding parenteral alternatives remains limited in hospitalized patients. Main body We conducted a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label trial in Korea. Participants were enrolle...

Structure‐Guided Balancing of Ambipolar Transport Enables Symmetric Switching in Heterojunction Bilayer Organic Transistor Inverters

ABSTRACT High inverter performance in ambipolar organic electronics requires balanced channel strengths rather than maximized single‐carrier mobility. Here, we demonstrate symmetric switching through balanced ambipolar transport in vertically stacked pentacene/ N , N ′‐ditridecyl...

Reusable and Soft Self-Adhesive Epidermal Electrodes for Human Skin Enabled by Functional Additives

Wearable electronics, particularly dry epidermal electrodes, provide human-connected interfaces for recording biopotential signals. However, their practical utility is often hindered by their limited operational longevity and the resulting environmental burden of electronic waste...

Utilisation and barriers to health check-ups among people living with human immunodeficiency virus in South Korea: a cross-sectional survey of clinic-attending patients

People living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) continue to experience higher mortality rates than that in the general population. As this increased mortality is largely attributed to chronic comorbidities, regular health check-ups are required. This cross-sectional survey...

A Five-Year Time Series Reveals Recurrent and Episodic Microbial Community Dynamics in an Oligotrophic Lake

Microbial community dynamics are central to the functioning of freshwater ecosystems, yet short-term surveys fail to capture long-term ecological trajectories. Here, we present a five-year monthly time series of microbial communities and environmental variables in Lake Soyang, a...

Estimation of System Parameters Including Repeated Cross-Sectional Data through Emulator-Informed Deep Generative Model

Abstract. Differential equations (DEs) are widely used to model the evolution of natural or engineered systems. Traditionally, the parameters in DEs are adjusted to fit data obtained through system observations. However, in fields such as politics, economics, and biology, the obs...

Seismic vulnerability and sustainable retrofit strategies for traditional masonry heritage buildings in Oman
