A Lithium-Ion Battery Remaining Useful Life Prediction Framework Based on Mode Decomposition and CNN-TimeXer

Remaining useful life (RUL) prediction is essential for lithium-ion battery health management, yet accurate prognosis remains difficult because battery degradation trajectories are strongly non-stationary and often contain mixed-scale fluctuations together with local regeneration...

Attapulgite Nanocomposites for Cartilage and Osteochondral Repair: Material–Tissue Matching, Evidence-Graded Mechanisms and Translation

Attapulgite (ATP; palygorskite) is a fibrous magnesium aluminum silicate that can reinforce hydrated polymer networks, provide a surface for molecular interactions, and participate in formulation-dependent ion or drug delivery. Although ATP has been studied most extensively in bo...

Tribenzotriquinacene Fused Dimers (“Fusodimers”)—Synthesis and Host–Guest Properties

ABSTRACT The synthesis and structural properties of two stereoisomeric tribenzotriquinacene (TBTQ) derivatives, syn ‐ 4 and anti ‐ 4 , in which two rigid TBTQ bowls share a common benzene ring, are described. Owing to the orthogonal orientation of the three indane wings in each o...

How digital leadership fosters employee proactive behavior: A dual-pathway model based on job demands and resources

BackgroundDigital leadership is increasingly recognized as critical to organizational digital transformation. How digital leadership fosters employee proactive behavior through job characteristics remains insufficiently understood.ObjectiveDrawing on Job Demands-Resources theory,...

From overweight/obesity to metabolic syndrome: increased postoperative survival risk in gastric cancer

Overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are recognized as potential risk factors for gastric cancer, but their impacts on postoperative morbidity and overall survival (OS) following radical gastrectomy remain controversial. We hypothesized that overweight/obesity and Met...

Mindfulness as a moderator of the association between physical activity enjoyment and academic burnout through self-control in Chinese primary school students

This study aims to examine the association between physical activity enjoyment and academic burnout, testing the mediating role of self-control and the moderating effect of mindfulness in the mediation model. Participants were drawn from twelve primary schools in China using conv...

Design and Synthesisof Potential Quinoline-BasedSDH Inhibitors Inspired by Quinine Alkaloids with Activity againstPhytopathogenic Fungi and Bacteria

Abstract In pursuit of environmentally friendly agrochemicals, we employed the natural quinine alkaloid scaffold as a lead for the design and synthesis of three series of structurally diverse quinine derivatives and systematically evaluated their in vitro antibacterial and antifu...

Catholyte‐Free Composite Cathodes Break the Energy Density Barrier of All‐Solid‐State Lithium Batteries

ABSTRACT The gravimetric and volumetric energy densities of 500 Wh kg –1 and 1000 Wh L –1 are considered as the “holy grail” target values for the development of all‐solid‐state lithium pouch batteries. However, the substantial amount of non‐energy‐providing deformable catholytes...

Calibration of theMass Spectrometer of China’sChang’E-7 Lunar Soil Water Molecule Analyzer

Abstract The existence of water ice at the lunar south pole has become a major topic in contemporary deep-space exploration. China’s Chang’e-7 lunar mission is scheduled for launch in 2026. One of its primary scientific objectives is to conduct an in situ investigation of water i...

Clinical value of artificial intelligence ultrasound-assisted diagnostic system in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules

Accurately distinguishing the benign thyroid nodules (BTNs) and malignant thyroid nodules (MTNs) is crucial for treatment planning and prognosis. This study aims to explore the clinical value of artificial intelligence ultrasound-assisted diagnostic system (AI-UADS) in diagnosing...

Inverse Design of Programmable Mechanical Metamaterials via Explainable Graph Neural Model

ABSTRACT The rational design of metamaterials enables anomalous physical properties, yet achieving target performance remains challenging in ultra‐large optimization spaces. Herein, we propose an intelligent design framework for programmable mechanical metamaterials based on grap...

Integrated interpretability machine learning and clinlabomics analysis for the risk prediction of hepatocellular carcinoma

This study aimed to develop a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk prediction model based on clinlabomics and develop an online prediction tool to provide a novel approach for early HCC diagnosis. We retrospectively collected clinical and laboratory data from 1,017 patients (576 H...

Key innovation triggers adaptive radiation of the genus Medicago

Reconstruction of a robust phylogeny of Medicago using genome-scale nuclear data from the Angiosperms353 probe set sheds light on the origin of the genus and provides evidence that pod morphological traits acted as key innovations, playing a central role in the adaptive radiation...

Botulinum toxin type A attenuates trigeminal neuralgia-like pain by suppressing CGRP release and modulating NaV1.7-associated signaling

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a disabling facial pain disorder, and current treatments remain insufficient for a substantial proportion of patients. Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) has shown therapeutic benefit in TN, but its peripheral analgesic mechanisms remain incompletely und...

Design and Optimization of Composite Thermal Insulation Layers for Mine Ecological Restoration Under Simulated Solar Radiation: Integrating Response Surface Screening with Gaussian Process Bayesian Optimization

Thermal regulation of surface soil is critical for vegetation establishment in degraded mining environments, yet the systematic design of insulation layers tailored to mine restoration remains underdeveloped. Fifteen candidate thermal insulation materials from six categories were...

Planetary Boundary Layer Height on the Northern Mount Qomolangma Region Retrieved From Wind LiDAR Observations

Abstract A coherent Doppler wind LiDAR (Wind3D 6000) has been operating in the northern Mount Qomolangma region since 2023. We retrieved planetary boundary layer height (PBLH) from LiDAR observations collected from October 2023 to September 2025 using a hybrid algorithm combining...

Elevated aerosol layers within the daytime mixed layer over ecologically sensitive areas of northwest China: diurnal variation, formation mechanisms and regional effects

Abstract. The cyclic processes of aerosol evolution have a profound impact on regional climate, water resources and ecosystems. However, studies on diurnal variations of aerosol vertical distribution in typical ecologically sensitive areas remain scarce due to limited availabilit...

Simulation-Based Performance and Limitations of Photovoltaic and Solar Water Heating Systems in a Passive-Designed Rural House
