Statewide Empirical Analysis of Asphalt Pavement Performance and Service Life at Intersections

Abstract Intersections are consistently found to be among the most critical locations for pavement deterioration, yet large-scale empirical evidence quantifying their relationship with deterioration remains limited. This research conducts a comprehensive statewide empirical inves...

The effects of a mobile health application on adolescent mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic: a randomized controlled study

Abstract Adolescents experienced substantial psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic, including elevated stress, disrupted routines, reduced peer interaction, and reduced access to in-person professional support. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions may offer accessi...

Strategies for Enhancing Efficiency and Operational Stability in Green Phosphorescence‐Sensitized Fluorescence (PSF) Organic Light‐Emitting Diode (OLED) Technology

ABSTRACT Multi‐resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR‐TADF) emitters have gained considerable attention to solve the color purity issue in organic light‐emitting diode (OLED) commercialization. However, their slow reverse intersystem crossing rate (k RISC ) leads...

Complete strategy spaces reveal hidden pathways to cooperation

Understanding how cooperation emerges and persists is a central challenge in evolutionary game theory. However, models of communication often rely on restricted strategy sets, making it unclear whether omitted behaviours alter cooperation. Here, we study the complete deterministi...

Beyond Economic Benefit: How Justice, Empowerment, and Political Trust Shape Residents’ Support for Space Tourism

This study extends research explaining resident trust through cost–benefit evaluations of tourism development. In the context of space tourism development, a government-led initiative that offers residents limited participation and few direct benefits, we drew on Lefebvre’s right...

Effects of low-intensity aerobic and resistance training on physical function, adiponectin, and metabolic health in oldest-old women: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Few studies have examined exercise interventions in oldest-old women—that is, women aged 85 years and older—despite their high risk of experiencing functional decline and metabolic dysregulation. Thus, the present study investigated the effects of low-intensit...

Lithium Niobate Electro‐Optic Photonic Processor for Variational Quantum Eigensolver

Encoding quantum information in high-dimensional photonic states as a qudit provides a powerful route to resource-efficient quantum simulation. Among various integrated photonic platforms, lithium niobate on insulator is particularly attractive because it combines low optical los...

Electronic Structure Modulation of Ni 2 P Nanospheres via Interfacial Control With Lattice‐Expanded MoS 2 Nanosheets for Enhanced Hydrogen Evolution

ABSTRACT The development of cost‐effective and durable electrocatalysts is a prerequisite for scalable hydrogen production via water electrolysis. In this context, modulating the electronic structure of transition‐metal phosphide electrocatalysts via interfacial engineering with...

Quality of life assessment in individuals with schizophrenia: a COSMIN-based systematic review of S-QoL41 and S-QoL18 incorporating neurobiological support

Background Quality of life is a key outcome in schizophrenia, requiring valid patient-reported outcome measures. We evaluated Schizophrenia Quality of Life (S-QoL) instruments. Methods We searched PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science from inception to Dec 10, 2025. Measurement pr...

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...

An open-source FPGA control architecture for solid-state spin-photon interfaces

Scalable quantum networks require quantum interfaces that coherently connect stationary matter qubits with flying photonic qubits. In solid-state defect platforms, such interfaces require coordinated optical excitation, microwave spin control, photon detection, and feedback with...

Memristive‐Gated RC‐Delay Synaptic Transistors for Time‐Encoded Analog in‐Memory Computing

ABSTRACT In‐memory computing using memristor crossbar arrays promises to overcome the von Neumann bottleneck, yet interface‐type memristors suffer from inherent current–voltage nonlinearity that degrades analog accuracy. Here we introduce a memristive‐gated RC‐delay synaptic tran...

Scalable Manufacturing of Nano–Micro Hybrid Composites for Large-Scale Aircraft Structures Using rGO-Embedded Carbon Fabrics

Abstract Carbon fiber–reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are widely used in aerospace structures due to their high specific strength and lightweight characteristics. However, their laminated architecture and limited fiber–matrix interfacial interaction often restrict interlaminar perfor...

Age-Stratified Outcomes of Off-Clamp Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy: A Comparison of Patients Younger Than 65 Years and Those Aged 65 Years or Older

Background: Evidence for completely off-clamp robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in older patients is limited. We compared age-stratified short-term outcomes. Methods: We reviewed 146 consecutive patients who underwent off-clamp RAPN between June 2022 and March 2026: 99 we...

Zippers and Twisters: Planes of Satellite Galaxies Emerge from Whirling and Shocking Gas Streams in the Cosmic Web

Abstract We investigate dwarf satellite systems around massive centrals analogs (Milky Way to Centaurus A) in the NewHorizon simulation. Using simple estimators limiting overdetection, we identify planes of satellites comparable to observations in 30%–70% of cases. The full sampl...

Synergetic Enhancement in Thermoelectric Performance via Localized Magnetic Moments and Lattice Softening
