For high-precision attitude adjustment tasks of a six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) wave-compensation parallel robot in shipborne applications, strong non-stationary wave excitations, abrupt load changes, and broadband disturbances jointly challenge tracking accuracy and smoothness....

The effect of cracks on mechanical properties of round bamboo

Abstract Cracks are inevitable defects in engineering applications of round bamboo. However, existing research on the effects of cracks on the mechanical properties remains insufficient. In this study, systematic mechanical tests were conducted on crack-free (B1) and cracked (B2)...

Value-Added Growth, Risk Exposure and Economic Sustainability in China’s Agriculture-Related Industries: An Ownership-Based Global Value Chain Analysis

Ensuring the sustainability of agriculture-related industries requires not only expanding value added but also maintaining stable value creation and adaptive capacity under changing economic conditions. This study examines the economic and organizational sustainability of China’s...

Energy-Transfer-Driven[2 + 2] Cycloaddition: Synthesisof Cyclobutane-Fused Tetracycles from Indenes and Maleimides

Abstract Molecular skeletons containing fused cyclobutane rings are of significant value in drug discovery as they can increase the fraction of sp3 carbons (Fsp3) and impart conformational rigidity. Herein, we report a visible-light photocatalytic strategy for the intermolecular...

Reconciling nitrogen fertilization effects on soil nitrification with acidification

Nitrogen (N) fertilization supports nearly half of the global population but disrupts the N cycle. While N addition is assumed to stimulate soil nitrification by increasing substrate supply and nitrifier activity, it may also inhibit nitrification via soil acidification. Resolvin...

Salt‐Controlled Multistep Phase Separation in Hydroxypropyl Cellulose Colloids for Sustainable Adhesives

ABSTRACT Phase separation is an evergreen subject that shapes our understanding of how order and functionality emerge from disordered complex soft matter systems. Here, we report on the salt‐regulated transition from isotropic liquid‐liquid phase separation to anisotropic liquid‐...

Stereoelectronically Controlled Regioselective Allylation of Aldehyde Under Photoredox/Chromium Catalysis

ABSTRACT The formation of structurally defined α,γ‐disubstituted allylmetallic intermediate which could undergo regioselective allylation with carbonyl compounds remains a formidable challenge in synthetic chemistry. Although regioselective in situ formation of α,γ‐disubstituted...

Robust and Recyclable Mussel-Inspired Supramolecular Adhesives Enabled by an In Situ Thermoplasticized Cellulose Ester System

Abstract Developing sustainable adhesives to replace petroleum-based glues is critical, yet bio-based alternatives are often limited by processing difficulties and an inherent adhesion–cohesion trade-off. To address these challenges, a mussel-inspired cellulose ester supramolecul...

A ParallelogramTetranickel Complex with a Short Ni–NiBond Supported by a Pentadentate N-Ligand

Abstract Metal–metal bonded complexes feature unique intermetallic synergy enabling small-molecule activation and organic transformations. Using a pentadentate N-ligand, a dinickel paddlewheel complex is obtained from NiCl2, while a tetranickel complex with a short Ni–Ni bond in...

Collaborative optimization of car-following control and energy management for PHEBs based on deep reinforcement learning

To address the synergistic optimization of car-following control and energy management, this study proposes a collaborative optimization framework based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL). At the car-following control level, a predictive cruise control (PCC) model is developed...

From Inorganic Arsenic to Methylated and Thiolated Arsenic: Speciation Mechanisms, Management Implications, and Rice Safety in Paddy Systems

Rice is a globally important staple crop and a major dietary source of inorganic arsenic (As). Compared with upland crops, flooded rice cultivation profoundly alters soil redox conditions, making paddy soils one of the most active agricultural interfaces for As mobilization, tran...

Tannic-Acid-ModifiedMesoporous Silica NanocarriersEnhance Chlorantraniliprole Delivery against Hyphantria cunea by Improving Foliar Adhesion

Abstract The fall webworm Hyphantria cunea (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) is an invasive pest that severely damages forest resources and disrupts ecological stability. Chlorantraniliprole (CAP) is widely applied to control this pest, yet conventional formulations exhibit poor foliar ret...

HDA15-Mediated Deacetylation of GPX1 Inhibits Its Nuclear Translocation and Increases Osmotic Stress Sensitivity in Rice

Redox regulation plays an important role in plant stress responses. Our previous study revealed that rice GLUTATHIONE PEROXIDASE 1 (GPX1) acts as a redox sensor and transducer and promotes osmotic stress tolerance by transfer of cytosolic oxidative signals to transcription factor...
