Water hardness and all-cause and cause-specific mortality: evidence from a prospective cohort study

The health implications of domestic water hardness remain controversial, with limited prospective evidence on cause-specific mortality. We investigated associations of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) concentrations with all-cause and cause-specific m...

Study on Contact Characteristics of Aeronautical Floating Splines Considering Maneuvering Deformation

Floating involute splines are widely used in aviation power transmission systems for torque transmission. In this study, a finite element model considering the dynamic deformation of a floating involute spline shaft was established to analyze the influence of shaft deformation on...

IMPC of Multiple Precision Motion Systems Subject to Dynamic Coupling and Input Delay

Complex manufacturing processes, such as lithography, frequently depend on the coordinated operation of multiple precision motion systems whose accuracy is typically undermined by three principal limitations: dynamic coupling among the subsystems, input delays within their contro...

Vibration suppression and surface roughness control in flexible blade polishing: modeling, simulation and optimization

In the flexible polishing process for blisk, tool vibration represents a critical factor governing surface integrity and machining stability. However, comprehensive modeling of the dynamic behavior of flexible polishing tools and its quantitative correlation with the final surfac...

Reassessing global trade and welfare impacts of EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism in developing countries: a structural quantitative model

The European Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has been agreed on since 2023, while the discussions, especially in developing members that have higher carbon intensity, are still underway. Here, we used a structural quantitative trade model to analyze how the EU CBAM affe...

Geometric Invariant Moment-Based Feature Extraction for Cognitive Load Monitoring

EEG-based cognitive workload assessment has attracted considerable attention in fields such as brain–computer interfaces and human–computer interaction due to its high temporal resolution and non-invasive nature. However, existing studies mainly focus on time-domain and frequency...

Design and experimental investigation of a heat pump-assisted double-effect evaporation system using ethanol as the working fluid

Most existing studies on the evaporation process of ethanol solutions focus on the microscopic scale, with a lack of research on design calculation methods and operational characteristics targeting macroscopic systems. This study proposes a heat pump-assisted double-effect evapor...

Research on interfacial microstructure, mechanical properties, and damage behaviors of AZ91/GWZ831K bimetallic structures fabricated via wire-arc directed energy deposition

This study investigated the interfacial microstructure, mechanical properties, and tensile damage evolution behavior of AZ91/GWZ831K bimetallic structures fabricated by wire-arc directed energy deposition (WA-DED). Bimetallic specimens were prepared with two distinct deposition s...

Kelvin–Helmholtz vortices at the magnetopause during northward IMF: multi-satellite observations of energy transport and plasma redistribution

The Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) instability is a fundamental plasma process in many astrophysical environments; its vortices facilitate solar wind energy transport and plasma mixing. We investigate the energy flux density distribution and fluctuations of a typical KH vortex event obser...

Uncertainty-inspired open-set model for identifying infantile fundus abnormalities

Accurate and safe identification of infantile fundus abnormalities is critical for large-scale screening, yet remains challenging because of heterogeneous disease presentations and overconfident predictions by conventional artificial intelligence (AI) models. In this study, we ai...

In vivo labeling–based proteomic analysis of early follicle oocytes and cisplatin-induced alterations in mice

Abstract A systematic proteomic profile of oocytes from early-stage follicles, particularly primordial follicles, is critical to protect female reproductive capacity in the context of chemotherapy, yet progress has been hindered by the rarity of oocyte samples and technical chall...

CURB-65 score for predicting deep vein thrombosis in severe community-acquired pneumonia: a cohort study

Patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP) are at significantly increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Traditional VTE risk assessment tools like the Caprini and Padua prediction scores are often underutilized in acute care settings due to their complexity...

Aqueous Humor Proteomics Reveals the Molecular Basis for Differential Treatment Responses in nAMD and pmCNV

Purpose: Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) causes vision loss in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and pathologic myopia-related CNV (pmCNV). Despite shared clinical features, they respond differently to treatment. This study compared aqueous humor (AH) proteom...

Phantom-Free Geometric Refinement for Industrial CBCT Using Physical Constraints and a Normalized Low-Rank Projection Prior

Geometric misalignment degrades industrial cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), particularly when a dedicated calibration phantom cannot be deployed during object acquisition. This study presents a three-stage, scan-specific geometric refinement framework that searches a bounded...

Rational Design of Angle‐Resilient Ultrathin Metals With Broadband Visible–Near‐Infrared Transparency

ABSTRACT Transparent conductors are critical for optoelectronic devices such as photodetectors and solar cells. Ultrathin metals, particularly silver, are widely used due to their excellent optoelectrical properties and large‐scale processability. However, their inherently high e...

Hybrid intelligent strategy driving high-dimensional encrypted orbital angular momentum comb multicasting towards optical data-transmission networks

Abstract Achieving higher degrees and dimensions of light is one of the accessible paths for increasing the capacity of optical data-transmission systems. Orbital angular momentum (OAM), owing to its infinite and mutually orthogonal nature, offers a promising carrier for high-cap...

Smart Urban Agriculture in Transition: A Systematic Review of ICT Integration, Applications, and Challenges

This paper systematically reviews the emerging field of smart urban agriculture, defined as the integration of information and communication technologies (ICTs) into food production practices within and around built-up urban areas. Although urban agriculture and digital agricultu...
