Mechanism-Driven Risk Assessment of 1,3,6-Tribromocarbazole: An Integrated Strategy Implicates ESR1-Associated Cardiovascular Toxicity

Abstract Polyhalogenated carbazoles (PHCZs) are globally distributed emerging persistent organic pollutants, yet their cardiovascular hazards remain largely uncharacterized. We therefore built an adverse outcome pathway (AOP)-guided prediction-to-validation strategy─coupling envi...

Air-core vortex formation and tail breakup in tidal-energy intakes: Effects of inlet geometry and flow mechanisms

Air-core vortices (ACVs) in horizontal tidal-energy intakes can induce air entrainment, deteriorate inflow uniformity, and threaten downstream hydraulic components. Experiments and high-fidelity numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the effects of a straight pipe in...

Multibody dynamic modelling and guided reinforcement learning for a novel air suspension system of semi-trailers

Vehicle vibrations during long-haul logistics transportation can significantly degrade ride comfort and increase the risk of cargo damage. To address this issue, this paper proposes a novel torsion-beam air suspension configuration and a guided reinforcement learning–based semi-a...

Mathematical modeling of chikungunya transmission dynamics and control using disease-driven machine learning

Abstract The Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a significant vector-borne threat; however, few models successfully integrate rigorous theoretical guarantees with efficient, reliable predictive tools. This study aims to address this gap by introducing a nonlinear seven-compartment huma...

Research Progress on Intelligent Seeding Technology and Equipment: The Development of Seeders from Multi-Functional Integration to Agricultural Intelligent Agents

Protonation Prerequisite in Selective Furfural Hydrogenation to Furfuryl Alcohol: A Kinetic Isotope Effect Study

Abstract The electrochemical hydrogenation of furfural (FF) to furfuryl alcohol (FA) offers a sustainable route for biomass valorization, but the mechanistic origins of FA selectivity─particularly the suppression of radical-mediated C–C coupling─remain insufficiently resolved. He...

Machine-learning classification of myocardial infarction and ST/T-change ECG phenotypes across complementary evaluation settings

The primary PTB-XL outcome was an operational ECG phenotype defined by myocardial infarction and/or ST/T-change diagnostic superclass labels, rather than adjudicated active ischemia. Public ECG datasets were harmonized to 10-s, 12-lead, 100-Hz inputs. Patient-disjoint PTB-XL part...

Sensing Technologies in Robotic Manipulators for Low-Damage Fruit and Vegetable Grasping: Principles, Integration, and Applications

Fruits and vegetables vary greatly in shape and are easily damaged, and are typically handled in highly unstructured environments, posing significant challenges to stable, accurate, and low-damage robotic manipulation based solely on predefined trajectories and fixed gripping par...

Spatially decoupled design and AI-driven optimization for thermal uniformity and nitridation resistance in NH3-fueled micro-tubular SOFCs

Ammonia-fueled micro-tubular solid oxide fuel cells (MT-SOFCs) offer a compact route for carbon-free power generation, but the endothermic NH 3 decomposition can cause thermal non-uniformity, and local NH 3 enrichment can increase the thermodynamic risk of Ni nitridation in the a...
