Implicit and Explicit Visual Information Aware Multimodal Relation Extraction

Recently, Multimodal Relation Extraction (MRE) has achieved great improvements. The inherent abstraction and variability of visual content make it challenging to extract relational information in multimodal relation extraction. Beyond identifying explicit visual entities for filt...

Endogenous Functional Group Engineering Enables High‐Efficiency Hard Carbon Anodes for Sodium‐ion Batteries

ABSTRACT Hard carbon is a leading anode for sodium‐ion batteries, but its widespread use is still prevented from low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and unstable electrode‐electrolyte interfaces. In this work, we show that engineering endogenous functional groups can directly...

Power outages, multi-product firms, and firm productivity: Theory and evidence from China

This study develops a model of multi-product firms (MPFs) to examine their responses to power outages and the consequent effects on firm productivity. In the model, MPFs mitigate the adverse effects of power outages by discontinuing their less-productive products and focusing mor...

Orthogonally Polarized Excitons Under Quasi‐One‐Dimensional Moiré Confinement

ABSTRACT Moiré superlattices in two‐dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) offer a versatile platform to engineer excitonic states through interlayer coupling and symmetry control. While twist‐induced 2D moiré superlattices have been widely investigated, exciton...

HPWS and Employee Outcomes among Healthcare Professionals: The Moderating Role of Organizational Justice, and the Mediating Role of Employee Engagement in Shaping Employee Performance and OCB

In an ever-evolving, high-demand, and resource-constrained healthcare environment, it is imperative that healthcare administrators and policy makers understand both theoretically and practically the influence of organizational practices on employees’ behaviour. This study, drawin...

Monoclonal anti-dsRNA antibody-based metagenomics (MADAM) reveal Pyricularia oryzae mycovirome

This study introduces MADAM (Monoclonal Anti-dsRNA Antibody-Based Metagenomics), a novel approach that integrates multiple technical modules previously used independently in other protocols. MADAM combines monoclonal antibody-mediated double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) enrichment, seque...

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Elatostema involucratum

Elatostema involucratum Franch. & Sav, a perennial herb in the genus Elatostema (family Urticaceae), has significant medicinal value. Here, we report the complete chloroplast genome of E. involucratum for the first time, assembled using high-throughput sequencing. The chloroplast...

Near‐Unity Linear Polarization of Self‐Trapped Exciton Emission in Cu 3 PS 4 With Highly Anti‐Thermal‐Quenching for Sensitive Optical Thermometry

ABSTRACT Recently, self‐trapped exciton (STE) emission has attracted considerable attention. However, reports on the STE emission in transition‐metal phosphorus chalcogenides remain scarce, and their interesting luminescence and underlying photo‐physical mechanism aren't yet full...

Thin Phophorus‐Oxide‐Assisted Electrically Pumped Mid‐Infrared Light Emission in a Twisted Black Phosphorus Structure with Polarization Switching

ABSTRACT Efficient and polarization‐switchable on‐chip mid‐infrared light sources are desirable for portable and miniaturized systems for applications in gas sensing, free‐space optical communications, and imaging. The polarization‐switchable function can offer a new information...

Computed Tomography-Derived Sarcopenia and Two- Versus Three-Dimensional Body Composition for Prognostication in Colorectal Cancer Patients Receiving Chemoradiotherapy: An Automated Deep Learning Segmentation Study with External Reproducibility Assessment

Background: Skeletal muscle depletion predicts poor outcomes in gastrointestinal cancers, but whether volumetric three-dimensional (3D) body composition adds anything over the standard two-dimensional (2D) single-slice approach in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients receiving chemor...

Mechanisms of sludge reduction in Nostocoides -driven enhanced biological phosphorus removal process

Nostocoides, a key phosphate-accumulating organism (PAOs), is abundant in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs); however, the mechanism of sludge reduction in biological phosphorus removal systems under its dominance remains largely unknown. This study employed a lab-scale, explora...

Misaligning Cascaded Liquid Crystal Elements for Continuously Tunable Axial Spin‐Dependent Splitting

ABSTRACT Achieving continuous tunability and spin‐multiplexed functionality is essential for depth‐resolved imaging, yet existing approaches suffer from fixed focal lengths, transverse‐plane splitting, or inability to acquire two depth planes simultaneously. Here, we propose and...

Synthesis of Isoquinolines Through Isochromenylium Intermediates Captured by Nitriles and a CO‐to‐CN Switch

ABSTRACT Isochromenylium ions have emerged as versatile intermediates for the rapid construction of molecular complexity through cascade reactions. However, their application in catalytic annulation processes with nitriles to form isoquinolines remains largely unexplored, despite...

Urban Energy Transition During Climate-Smart Technology Diffusion: Stage-Dependent Evidence from 282 Chinese Cities

Urban energy transition requires the deployment of clean energy alongside technologies that lower the carbon intensity of urban economic activity. Yet the effect of climate-smart technology may change with the stage of technology diffusion. Using city-level data from 282 Chinese...

Ionizing Radiation Induced Strain Engineering for Exciton Dynamics in Atomically Thin Semiconductor

ABSTRACT Uncovering and controlling exciton dynamics in atomically thin semiconductors is crucial for excitonic devices. While conventional techiniques often damage materials, ionizing radiation offers a non‐contact, low‐cost modulation method. Here, we introduce a non‐destructiv...

Unlocking the Potential of Sparingly Soluble LiNO 3 in Carbonate Electrolytes With Pyridine as a Carrier Cosolvent for 450 Wh Kg −1 High‐Voltage Lithium Metal Batteries

ABSTRACT LiNO 3 is a highly effective electrolyte additive for ether‐based lithium metal batteries, but its extremely poor solubility in carbonate electrolytes has long restricted its application in high‐voltage high‐energy‐density systems. In this study, we develop a pyridine ca...
