Multi-layer aquifer hydrogeological responses to deep coal mining and their controlling mechanisms: A hydrochemical and multi-isotope coupling study

Study region The Dahaize Coal Mine lies on the southern margin of the Mu Us Sandy Land, a key part of the large coal energy base in northern Shaanxi, China. Study focus Deep coal mining severely disturbs regional groundwater stability, yet the long-term and multi-scale responses...

A Bacterial–Microalgal–Manure Co-Application Ameliorates Saline-Alkali Soil and Promotes Wheat Growth

Severely saline–alkaline land degradation poses a considerable challenge to sustainable agriculture, owing to high salinity, elevated pH, and nutrient deficiency. To address this, a salt-tolerant nitrogen-fixing bacterium (Bacillus sp.) and a microalga (Chlorella pyrenoidosa) wer...

Colonial history shapes the pathways toward energy independence driven by renewable energy innovation

Energy independence is a cornerstone of national sovereignty, increasingly dependent on renewable energy development. Yet structural inequalities rooted in colonial history, institutional path dependence, and global innovation barriers shape the effectiveness of technology-enable...

Modeling the development of English reading enjoyment in AI-mediated IDLE: A complex dynamic systems theory perspective

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into English learning, AI-supported informal digital environments have emerged as an important space for learners' engagement with English reading. However, little is known about how English reading enjoyment develop...

Interface-shrunk regulated synthesis of asymmetric ultrafine mono-mesopore Nepenthes with tailored window

Asymmetric ultrafine mono-mesopore architectures with ultrasmall size, an open window, and unique physicochemical properties offer great opportunities in energy storage, yet their synthesis remains challenging. Inspired by the fast, unidirectional capture ability of Nepenthes, we...

Mechanism Analysis and Prevention of Road Damage in High-Latitude Permafrost Regions

Abstract Frost heave and thaw settlement occur widely in northern China. Environmental change has increased their occurrence. High-latitude permafrost regions have high temperature sensitivity, experience freeze–thaw settlement, and exhibit unique rheological properties. Multiple...

In Situ Coordination Engineeringof Fe Single Atoms Enables Efficient Electrocatalytic CyclohexanoneOxime Synthesis

Abstract Cyclohexanone oxime (CHO) is a vital precursor in industrial synthesis of nylon-6. However, traditional synthetic routes involve harsh reaction conditions and the potential danger posed by explosive hydroxylamine. Herein, we introduce an electrocatalytic approach for CHO...

Mechanics-Permeability Similarities Between Natural-like and Natural Coal–Rock Specimens—A Comparative Study

Investigating the mechanics-permeability similarities between natural-like and natural gas-bearing coal–rock specimens provides a theoretical basis for using natural-like specimens as substitutes for natural ones in laboratory simulations of the incubation of coal–rock gas compos...

Predicting Climate Change Impacts on the Optimal Habitat of Rare Potaninia mongolica Maxim. on the Mongolian Plateau

The combined effects of global climate change and human activities are profoundly reshaping the geographic distribution patterns of rare and endangered plants in arid and semi-arid regions, accelerating habitat fragmentation and population decline, thereby posing a core challenge...

Mesoscale Simulation of Steel Slag Fine Aggregate Concrete Using a Cohesive Zone Model: Influence of Microparameters on Uniaxial Compressive Behavior

Abstract Steel slag fine aggregate (SSFA) concrete is a composite material comprising cement mortar, SSFA, coarse aggregate, and an interfacial transition zone (ITZ). To simulate the SSFA concrete’s uniaxial compression performance on the mesoscale this study applied Python in co...

Architecting optimized heterostructure for exceptional strength-ductility synergy in Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Mn alloy

Achieving a superior combination of strength and ductility in magnesium (Mg) alloys remains challenging. Heterogeneous microstructures have been demonstrated as an effective strategy to overcome this dilemma. In this study, a remarkable strength-ductility synergy is sustained in...

Resilience Pathways for Land Degradation Neutrality: How Informal Institutions Shape Community Land Governance Across the Global South

ABSTRACT A decade after Land Degradation Neutrality was incorporated into Sustainable Development Goal 15.3, implementation outcomes across the Global South remain uneven. Mainstream commons research identifies recurring institutional features, whereas critical institutionalism e...

A Universal Precipitation‐Transformation Strategy Toward Low‐Defect Prussian Blue Analogs for High‐Performance Sodium‐Ion Batteries

ABSTRACT Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) are considered promising cathode materials for sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) due to their low cost and open framework structure. However, their practical application is hindered by intrinsic [Fe(CN) 6 ] 4− vacancies and coordinated water, which...

Soil wind erosion and its driving forces in the three-north region, China

The Three-North Region hosts the world's largest and longest-running artificial afforestation project. Systematic research in this area is not only an ecological imperative but also a key strategic instrument for alleviating China's forest resource shortages and their associated...

Association of ovarian inflammation and hormonal dysregulation: a candidate mechanism underlying polycystic ovary syndrome

Abstract Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder characterized by female infertility, menstrual irregularities, and hormonal imbalance, leading to impaired reproductive health. Hyperandrogenemia is considered a central endocrine feature and a ke...
