Effects of a Pilates-Based Multicomponent Exercise Program on Fall-Risk-Related Physical Fitness and Psychological Variables in Older Adults at Lifelong Education Facilities

Background and Objectives: South Korea is experiencing rapid population aging, leading to elderly isolation, depression, and rising healthcare costs related to falls. Although exercise is recognized as a preventive measure, the short-term functional and psychological benefits of...

Interfacial-coupling-driven 2D Ni(OH)2/SnO2 hybrid heterostructures for carbon-free, durable supercapacitor electrodes

Low-cost, carbon-free electrodes that stay stable over long cycling are hard to make without conductive scaffolds such as graphene or carbon nanotubes. We report 2D Ni(OH) 2 /SnO 2 hybrid nanostructures prepared by a single-step hydrothermal route, in which ultrathin β-Ni(OH) 2 n...

Seasonal divergence in compound heatwave–extreme precipitation events

Compound heatwave – extreme precipitation (CHWEP) events pose escalating risks in monsoon-influenced mid-latitude region across the globe, yet, long-term and seasonally-resolved observational evidence remains limited. Here, we quantify the seasonal and long-term changes, and rece...

Institutional Variation in MRI Utilization After Prostatectomy for Prostate Cancer: A Multicenter Study

Background/Objectives: Healthcare utilization may vary because of institutional practice patterns and policy context. This study aimed to evaluate institutional variation and clinical factors associated with repeated MRI examinations after prostatectomy and to explore whether cum...

Receptive Arts Engagement Activities and Depressive Symptoms Among Older Adults: Serial Indirect Associations Through Leisure-Related Relaxation and Subjective Well-Being

Depressive symptoms are a prevalent mental health concern among older adults. This study examined whether the frequency of receptive arts engagement was associated with depressive symptom scores through leisure-related relaxation and subjective well-being in a specified serial me...

Influenceof Anti-Agglomerants and Water Cut on FlowAssurance and CO2 Capture in a Model Water-in-Oil Systemfor Maritime Applications

Abstract This study investigated the effects of antiagglomerant (AA) concentration and water cut (WC) on flow assurance within a gas hydrate-based CO2 capture and transport using a model water-in-oil (W/O) system for maritime applications. Phase equilibrium measurements revealed...

Long-Lifespan Turbostratic Graphene Field Emitters for High-Power Applications

Abstract Cold cathodes offer heater-free, instantly switchable electron sources, but conventional sharp-tip designs often degrade under continuous thermal loads, limiting high-power applications. We overcome this with a freestanding, edge-emitting turbostratic graphene film (GF)....
