Robust fault-tolerant control for wastewater treatment processes via integrated adaptive dynamic programming with fault-aware experience replay

Wastewater treatment is a crucial measure to address water scarcity and water pollution, and various control methods have been proposed for wastewater treatment processes (WWTPs). However, actuator faults can compromise existing control strategies and destabilize the system. In t...

Resilient load frequency control of power systems with energy storage under DoS attacks

With the growing reliance of power systems on communication networks, denial-of-service attacks on communication links induce link congestion, which poses a severe threat to system frequency stability. Therefore, this paper addresses the load frequency control problem for power s...

Calcium-leaching-resistant shotcrete for subsea tunnels: Effects of alkali-free accelerator, early-strength material and leaching inhibitor

Calcium leaching can reduce the long-term mechanical capacity of shotcrete used as primary support in subsea tunnels. This study investigated the effects of an alkali-free accelerator, an early-strength material (ESM), and a leaching inhibitor on the strength development, pore st...

Species-dependent activities of the PINK1–parkin axis

In vitro studies have established that PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) and parkin are central regulators of mitophagy, and loss-of-function mutations in either gene can cause early-onset Parkinson's disease (PD). Although various animal models, including mice and pigs with...

Adaptive generalization: An active perception framework for robust intelligent fault diagnosis under dynamic environments

The distribution shift problem induced by dynamic environments significantly degrades the performance of data-driven fault diagnosis systems in real-world applications. Although domain generalization techniques have been introduced to address distribution discrepancies, static ge...

Spatial transcriptional signatures linked to brain activity patterns in MECP2 transgenic monkeys and human autism spectrum disorder

Imaging transcriptomics studies in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have identified relevant biological pathways, yet the specific laminar molecular signatures associated with functional abnormalities remain largely unexplored. We integrated resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) data from m...

Active-Site Relay of Y-Doped LaFeO3 for Enhanced CH4 Reactivity in Chemical Looping Dry Reforming of Methane

Abstract The development of high-performance oxygen carriers (OCs) for chemical looping dry reforming of methane (CLDRM) is often hindered by the sluggish kinetics of C–H bond activation and the susceptibility to carbon deposition. Herein, we report that A-site Y doping in LaFeO3...

Extracellular matrix remodeling upregulates hippocampal neurogenic niche stiffness and impairs neurogenesis in Alzheimer's disease

Abstract INTRODUCTION Preserving adult hippocampal neurogenesis alleviates cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet how biophysical alterations in such as stiffness in the neurogenic niche regulate neurogenesis remains unclear. METHODS Stiffness in the hippocampal dent...

Energy-Time-based Docking-Return Path Planning for Cooperative UAV–UGV Systems in GPS-Denied Environments

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) offer complementary capabilities for long-duration autonomous missions, where UAV recovery by a ground platform can significantly reduce aerial energy consumption. In practical GPS-denied environments, however, s...

Preparation of a new fixed-combination carteolol-netarsudil ophthalmic solution via one-pot pH-adjusting solubilization strategy for glaucoma treatment

Currently, the commercial fixed-combination of two agents is facing several clinical challenges, including suboptimal intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction, which requires multiple daily administrations, compromised bioavailability due to rapid tear film clearance and nasolacrimal...

Stoichiometry-driven electronic heterogeneity in covalent organic frameworks for coupled H2O2 photoproduction and chemoselective fragrance upgrading

Coupling H2O2 photoproduction with value-added organic transformations avoids the sluggish kinetics of water oxidation, yet integrating both processes within one photocatalyst remains challenging. Here, we report stoichiometry-driven electronic heterogeneity in covalent organic f...

Intelligent fingerprinting of semi-volatile and intermediate-volatility organic compounds (S/IVOCs) from cooking emissions using pixel-resolved GCxGC-MS analysis

Semi-volatile and intermediate-volatility organic compounds (S/IVOCs) emitted from cooking are important secondary organic aerosol (SOA) precursors, yet their broad volatility range, chemical complexity, and extensive unresolved chromatographic signals hinder comprehensive charac...
