Characterization and comparative analysis of the complete mitochondrial genomes of two Amorphophallus species (Araceae)

Amorphophallus muelleri and Amorphophallus krausei are perennial herbaceous plants of the genus Amorphophallus (family Araceae). Their tubers can be processed into food and possess medicinal and economic value. However, their mitochondrial genomes have not yet been reported. Ther...

The Algorithmic Well‐Being Paradox: When AI Decision Delegation Helps and Hurts Consumer Well‐Being

ABSTRACT As generative AI increasingly shapes consumer decision‐making, its implications for consumer well‐being remain unclear. Existing research largely focuses on the trade‐off between algorithmic efficiency and autonomy loss. This research advances understanding by proposing...

Polarotactic Aggregation of the Migratory Locust Locusta migratoria migratorioides (Insecta: Orthoptera) Driven by Spectral-Polarization Vector Combinations

The migratory locust, Locusta migratoria migratorioides (Fairmaire et L.J. Reiche) (Insecta: Orthoptera) (syn. L. m. manilensis), exhibits polarization-sensitive (polarotactic) aggregation behavior that can be exploited for behavioral control. This study elucidates the effects of...

From interface engineering to recycling-oriented design: A review of oxide-based all-solid-state batteries

All-solid-state lithium batteries based on oxide solid electrolytes have attracted extensive attention due to their high safety, wide electrochemical stability window, excellent thermal stability and superior mechanical strength. However, their practical application is still limi...

Mapping of three novel linear B-cell epitopes on the VP7 protein of epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus with monoclonal antibodies

Abstract Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) is an important Orbivirus transmitted by culicoides midges. EHDV poses a significant threat to ruminant production worldwide. The VP7 protein is a highly conserved, group-specific antigen of EHDV, which serves as a key target fo...

Highly Selective Capture of ReO4– by a Conjugated Amine-Based Polymer Synthesized via a One-Pot Strategy

Abstract Given the highly dispersed occurrence of rhenium in the natural environment, it is commonly encountered in conjunction with other minerals and primarily occurs as perrhenate ions (ReO4–) in the acidic waste solutions produced by nonferrous metallurgical operations. The a...

Flattery from robots, praise from humans: building consumer trust and comfort

Purpose This study aims to investigate how the interaction between service agent type (robot vs human) and language style (flattery vs praise) influences customers’ psychological comfort, alongside the dual mediating roles of affective and cognitive trust and the moderating role...

Mobile health interventions for oral health-related behavior management in adolescents with fixed orthodontic appliances: a scoping review

To map the characteristics of mobile health interventions for oral health-related behavior management among adolescents undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment, identify the behavior change techniques embedded within these interventions, and summarize the reported behavioral, clin...

Universal Metal Electrode Contacts in Perovskite Solar Cells via Fermi‐Level Pinning at Yb‐Doped n + Fullerene Interfaces

ABSTRACT Efficient electron extraction at the electron transport layer (ETL)/metal interface is critical for high‐performance perovskite solar cells (PSCs), which is fundamentally governed by interfacial energy‐level alignment; however, the microscopic mechanism by which low‐resi...

ECL adoption without capital erosion: anticipatory preparation and regulatory architecture in Chinese banks

The adoption of expected credit loss (ECL) accounting under IFRS 9 eroded regulatory capital buffers in European banking systems, yet Chinese banks subject to the equivalent Chinese Accounting Standard 22 (CAS 22) did not exhibit this pattern. We propose and test the preparation...

Lost balance: synergy-redundancy dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease

<title>Abstract</title> Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder, yet reliable early biomarkers are still lacking, which greatly hinders timely intervention for AD. This study employed an integrated information decomposition framework to systematical...

Relative Localization of a Floating Recovery Target in an Unmanned Surface Platform-Assisted UAV–ROV Search-and-Recovery System Under High Sea States

This study addresses target-to-ROV relative localization in an unmanned surface platform-assisted UAV–ROV search-and-recovery system. Because the submerged ROV is not assumed to be visible from the air, the UAV observes the floating target and a GNSS-equipped ROV-associated surfa...

MemTrax as a scalable digital triage tool for mild cognitive impairment screening: primary validation in Alzheimer’s disease and exploratory analysis in Parkinson’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) pose escalating global health challenges, with early detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) being critical for timely intervention. The 2023 Delphi consensus highlights the need for scalable tools suitable for primary ca...
