Research on the mechanism of linking time pressure to career growth among hotel employees

Research overlooks how and why identical cognitive appraisals of time pressure translate into divergent coping behaviors. Drawing upon the cognitive appraisal theory of stress, this study investigates the mechanisms linking time pressure to the career growth of frontline hotel em...

Diagnosing Regional Contrasts in May-to-June Surface Ozone Transitions across China

Abstract Ground-level ozone (O3) is a major warm-season air-quality challenge in China, decreasing from May to June in southern China but increasing in North China (NC). Yet the distributional basis of this contrast remains unclear. Using 2015–2025 observations, reanalysis, fire...

Economic nationalism and the uneven fate of domestic firms: why small businesses exit

Purpose Economic nationalism is commonly justified as a policy approach that prioritizes domestic firms and strengthens national economies. However, existing research largely assumes that domestic firms benefit uniformly from such policies. This study challenges that assumption b...

GKR-Spike: A Cross-Attention Enhanced Hybrid SNN via Gaussian Kernel Density Estimation and Key-Residual Frames for AIoT

Device-free fall detection using Wi-Fi Channel State Information (CSI) is promising for pervasive health monitoring but is impeded by environmental dependency and a high computational cost. While deep learning (DL) methods can automatically extract features, computationally expen...

Advancing Global Short-Term Wildfire Forecasting with Wildfire-Specific Spatiotemporal Deep Learning

Abstract Reliable daily wildfire forecasting is essential for early warning, air-quality management, and reducing smoke-related health exposure. However, global approaches generally emphasize either fire-weather danger or pixel-wise occurrence prediction and do not explicitly rep...

Perceived Value and Organic Food Purchase Intention for Sustainable Agricultural Development: An Extended Theory of Planned Behavior in Shandong, China

Understanding consumer demand for organic food is important for the development of sustainable agricultural markets and the broader transition toward more sustainable food systems. This study examines how health, safety, environmental, social, and hedonic values, together with su...

Nonnegative Ricci curvature, Euclidean volume growth, and the fundamental groups of open 4-manifolds

Abstract Let 𝑀 be a 4-dimensional open manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature. In this paper, we prove that if the universal cover of 𝑀 has Euclidean volume growth, then the fundamental group π 1 ⁢ ( M ) \pi_{1}(M) is finitely generated. This result confirms Pan–Rong’s conject...

Association of Long-Term Residentially Assigned Speciated Atmospheric Mercury Emission Flux with All-Cause and Cause-Specific Mortality

Abstract Mercury (Hg) is a persistent global pollutant, but population evidence on residentially assigned species-specific atmospheric Hg emission flux and mortality is limited. We analyzed UK Biobank cohorts for all-cause/other-cause (N = 322,666), cardiovascular disease (N = 34...

Targeting MDA5 induces immunogenic cell death and promotes anti-tumor immunity

Identifying targets to enhance tumor immunity is an urgent need. Although nucleic acid sensors play critical roles in promoting tumor immune clearance, their exceptionally low mutation rate in cancers suggests potential unexplored roles in tumor progression. Here, we demonstrate...

An automated operon refactoring workflow for heterologous expression of non-ribosomal peptide biosynthetic gene clusters

Microbial genomes encode numerous biosynthetic gene clusters, yet most remain experimentally uncharacterized, particularly large non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) clusters that resist conventional cloning. Existing refactoring approaches are labor-intensive, depend on de no...

Native plant effects on soil multifunctionality are mediated by microbial network reorganization in a subalpine spoil dump

Engineering activities have led to a worldwide increase in spoil dumps, posing severe challenges to ecological restoration, particularly in vulnerable ecological regions. Identifying suitable restoration strategies is critical for the rapidly re-establishment soil multifunctional...

High‐Performance (hk0)‐Oriented Sb 2 S 3 Photodetectors Toward Diversified Optoelectronic Applications

ABSTRACT Broadband photodetectors that simultaneously combine low standby energy consumption, adequate photosensitivity, fast response rate, and scalable integration compatibility remain challenging to realize. Herein, Sb 2 S 3 thin films have been prepared through pulsed‐laser d...

Development and application of a smartphone-based thermal contrast amplification reader for photothermal lateral flow immunoassays

The high cost and poor portability of external infrared thermal imagers have limited the widespread adoption of photothermal lateral flow immunoassays (PT-LFIAs) in on-site testing. To address this, we developed a smartphone-based handheld Thermal Contrast Amplification (TCA) Rea...

Chronic Nitrite Nitrogen Responses in Penaeus monodon: From Growth Phenotypes to Metabolic Hub Signaling

Nitrite nitrogen is a prevalent environmental stressor in intensive shrimp aquaculture that impairs growth and health, yet its chronic effects and underlying molecular mechanisms in Penaeus monodon remain incompletely understood. To address this, we exposed juvenile P. monodon (i...

Multiobjective Optimization of Cross-Flow Membrane Channel Geometry via Integrated CFD Modeling and RSM-Desirability Function Analysis

Abstract Pressure-driven membrane separation processes are pivotal for seawater desalination and wastewater recovery. However, the geometric configuration of the flow channel strongly influences mass-transfer performance and energy consumption. This study applies an integrated th...

Facile Enhancement of Corrosion, Wear and UV Aging Resistance of Epoxy Composite Coatings via Graphene Oxide Incorporation

UV aging, corrosion and wear resistance of epoxy (EP) coatings are all critical for their long-term service in outdoor environments. In this work, graphene oxide (GO) was used as a multifunctional additive in epoxy coatings to improve these properties. Owing to its two-dimensiona...

To describe or to tell? Differential impact of short-video narrative forms on impulsive travel intention

Impulsive travel is increasingly prevalent in short video marketing. Drawing on Narrative Transportation Theory, this study examines how narrative forms in tourism short videos influence impulsive travel intention by comparing landscape-descriptive and story-narrative formats. Fo...

Structural and Mechanistic Insights Into GSDME Pore Formation and Functional Regulation

ABSTRACT Gasdermin E (GSDME) is a unique member of the gasdermin family linked to deafness, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases, and mediates chemotherapy‐induced pyroptosis; however, its pore‐forming mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, we present cryo‐EM structures of...
