Coordination Engineering of Cobalt Single-Atom Catalysts for Periodate Activation with Regulated Reactive-Species Production toward Emerging Contaminants Degradation

Abstract Fenton-like reaction of heterogeneous periodate (PI) activation exhibits high efficiency for emerging contaminants degradation due to the production of iodine-centered radicals, and single-atom metal catalysts demonstrate high activity. However, precisely controlling the...

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...

Electron transfer kinetics and molecular structural basis of dissolved black carbon as an electron shuttle

Dissolved black carbon (DBC) serves as a crucial electron shuttle in various biogeochemical cycles owing to its highly mobile and redox-active nature. Prior work on DBC electron-shuttling has focused on thermodynamic metrics—electron donating capacity (EDC) and electron accepting...

Electrode placement effects on Joule heating and thermal uniformity in an AC zinc-smelting furnace

The steady electrothermal behavior of AC zinc-smelting furnaces is governed by current redistribution and Joule-heat localization, which directly affect bath-temperature uniformity and refractory thermal loading. A three-dimensional one-way coupled electromagnetic-thermal-flow mo...

Financial inclusion and multidimensional poverty alleviation: the moderating role of governance efficiency in Asian countries

<title>Abstract</title> Persistent multidimensional poverty across Asia reflects systemic inequalities in economic participation, where financial exclusion exacerbates deprivation in health, education, and living standards. While financial inclusion is widely advocated for povert...

Establishment of a classification model for different grades of ribbed smoked sheets using near infrared spectroscopy and convolutional neural networks

Natural rubber is a vital industrial raw material and strategic resource. Ribbed smoked sheet is a traditional solid natural rubber that accounts for a significant proportion of the manufacturing of high-performance tyres. Presently, the grading of ribbed smoked sheet is primaril...

MultifunctionalGreen Depressant for Selective CalciteDepression in Cassiterite Flotation: Interfacial Adsorption and HydrationMechanism

Abstract Cassiterite (SnO2), the primary mineral resource for tin production, is commonly associated with calcium-bearing gangue minerals, such as calcite, and their similar flotation responses remain a major challenge for selective separation. In this study, chondroitin sulfate...

Steering Isotropic Li 2 S Growth via Bi‐Metallic Coupling: d ‐State Reengineering for Durable Li‐S Batteries

ABSTRACT Uncontrolled Li 2 S accumulation and high nucleation barriers severely hinder the sulfur utilization and cycle lifespan of lithium‐sulfur batteries (LSBs). Herein, we report an advanced bimetallic Mo 2 V 2 C 3 T x MXene as a functional separator modifier designed to acce...

A Comprehensive Review of Multimodal Medical Image Fusion: Techniques, Evaluation, and Future Directions

In recent years, multimodal medical image fusion (MMIF) has attracted significant attention due to its ability to integrate complementary information from different medical imaging modalities and provide more comprehensive information for clinical analysis. By combining anatomica...

Identification and experimental validation of biomarkers associated with the Wnt signaling pathway in preeclampsia

Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy disorder associated with hypertension. The Wnt signaling pathway regulates human cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis. This study aimed to develop a blood-based (non-invasive) diagnostic biomarker panel for PE based on Wnt signaling pathwa...

A method for intelligent recognition and multi-parameter inversion of photovoltaic panels based on UAV-LiDAR point clouds and DGRNet

Addressing the shortcomings of existing monitoring methods for mountainous photovoltaic power plants—including insufficient 3D data acquisition, low levels of automation, and point cloud recognition methods that are poorly adapted to mountainous scenarios, lack systematic compari...

Heavy‐Halide Coordination and Lattice‐Confined Molecular Alignment Enable Giant Birefringence in Hybrid Metal Halides

ABSTRACT High‐birefringence materials are essential for polarization optics, yet it remains difficult to translate anisotropic molecular building blocks into a strong directionally accumulated crystal‐scale optical anisotropy. Here, we establish a hybrid metal halide engineering...

Optimising freezing pipe layout for improved freezing ground within a coupled thermal-seepage field

The formation of an artificial freezing curtain is severely constrained by groundwater seepage. Traditional numerical methods have limitations in addressing the interaction between seepage flow and freezing soil along a moving freezing front. To address this, an enthalpy-based la...

Escitalopram for psychological symptoms and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with coronary heart disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) often have comorbid depression and anxiety, which worsen prognosis. Escitalopram, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, is used for these symptoms, but evidence on its psychological and cardiovascular effects in CHD is limited. This...

Biochar Exacerbates Nitrogen Loss in Drought-Affected Soil with Green Manure Application

The impact of biochar on N conversion in drought-affected soil with green manure application has not been systematically investigated. Therefore, this study examined the effects of biochar produced at 350 °C, 550 °C, and 750 °C (BC350, BC550, and BC750) on green manure (Medicago...

Study on the influence of stiffness-to- gravity ratio on the seismic performance of base-isolated high-rise building structures

Base isolation can effectively improve the seismic performance and earthquake safety reserve of structures. However, when it is applied to buildings with large aspect ratios, there are two main problems: isolation effectiveness and overturning resistance. This paper discusses and...

Distribution Patterns of Moraines and Susceptibility Assessment of Geological Hazards in the Shangri-La Region, Northwest Yunnan

The Shangri-La region in northwest Yunnan preserves extensive glacial moraines, which provide abundant loose material for landslides and debris flows. Mapping these moraines is therefore critical for susceptibility assessment. In this study, we used remote sensing interpretation...

A Comprehensive Review of Multi-Modal Data Fusion-Driven Systematic Knowledge Construction Technologies for HVDC Operation and Maintenance

Large-scale UHVDC and flexible DC projects accumulate scattered multi-modal O&amp;M data across independent platforms, fragmenting domain knowledge and reducing the efficiency of intelligent fault diagnosis and disposal. Unstructured data typically account for more than 70% of co...

Nondestructive cyclic strain evaluation of seismic isolation bearings using Si-69-modified MWCNT/silicone rubber self-sensing composites

Conductive elastomer composites are promising for large-deformation sensing and structural health monitoring, but their QNDE application is limited by unstable electromechanical responses, resistance hysteresis, and disordered conductive-pathway rearrangement during cyclic loadin...
