TDRPFormer: Texture-Debiased Reliable Prototype Transformer for Pixel-Level Steel Surface Defect Segmentation

Steel surface defect segmentation is a critical task in industrial visual inspection, with direct implications for quality assessment, process control, and in-service safety. However, complex steel-surface images often contain strong background textures, local reflections, machin...

Land-Use Evolution and Multi-Scenario Spatial Divergence in Bays: A Case Study of Haitan Bay and Tannan Bay, Pingtan Island, China

Conflicts between development and conservation on tourism-driven islands are concentrated in bay-adjacent terrestrial areas, yet land-use evolution and scenario responses are rarely compared among functionally distinct bays on the same island. This study examined Haitan Bay and T...

Van der Waals/MCT heterostructure enabled high-performance uncooled mid-infrared photodetectors via synergistic suppression of dark current and interfacial recombination

Abstract Mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) photodetection is crucial for applications such as night vision, remote sensing, spectral imaging and optical communication, yet its room-temperature operation faces a fundamental challenge of excessive dark current. While high-operating-te...

Self‐Stratifying Electrolyte Enables Triple‐Interface Regulation for Highly Reversible Zn Metal Batteries

ABSTRACT Aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) are challenged by the incompatibility between cathode kinetic demands and Zn‐anode interfacial stability in homogeneous electrolytes. Biphasic electrolytes can spatially decouple the two electrode environments, yet the accompanying li...

Long-term mapping of aboveground carbon storage in China (2000−2020) using a prior-knowledge-constrained deep learning model

Terrestrial ecosystems play a critical role in mitigating climate change by sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂), with aboveground carbon storage (AGC) serving as a key indicator of ecosystem carbon sink capacity. However, existing AGC estimation approaches remain constr...

OAF Blocks SIAH1‐Mediated Degradation of SCPX, a Therapeutic Strategy for MASLD

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) poses an increasing threat to global public health. Currently approved drugs for MASLD, such as resmetirom and semaglutide, have demonstrated clinical efficacy. However, their use is associated with notable adverse...

Artificial intelligence in social work practice for children and youth: A scoping review

Abstract Despite artificial intelligence's (AI) established use in healthcare, its application in social work remains nascent. Therefore, this scoping review examines AI's applications, outcomes or perceived effects, and challenges in social work practice for children and youth,...
