Enhanced early warning of extreme river discharge events in the Yangtze River Basin using atmospheric circulation signals

Early warning of extreme river discharge events (ERDEs) is crucial for water resources management and disaster reduction in the Yangtze River Basin (YRB), yet substantial uncertainty remains in their prediction. This study proposes a novel strategy to enhance ERDE early warning b...

Harnessing Endogenous Quinones to Orchestrate Water Dynamics and Electron Transfer at a Self‐Reinforcing Bio‐Abiotic Interface

ABSTRACT The bio‐abiotic interface is the central bottleneck in bioelectrochemical CO 2 conversion, where electron and mass transport are governed by an intricate interplay among the electrode, microbial mediators, and interfacial water. Here we show that endogenous quinone media...

Estimating supraglacial lake bottom ablation rates by integrating ICESat-2 repeat track data and multi-temporal sentinel-2 imagery

Supraglacial lakes are widely distributed across the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) each summer. The resulting meltwater-enhanced ablation effect plays a critical role in understanding the GrIS surface mass balance but remains poorly quantified. Inspired by the insight that longer me...

Asymmetric Radical-Type Clayden Rearrangement for the Synthesis of Enantiopure 1,2-Aminothiols and 1,2-Aminoalcohols

Abstract We report herein an expedient method for the construction of enantiopure 1,2-aminothiols and 1,2-aminoalcohols starting from polar amino acids cysteine and serine via a photoredox-catalyzed, decarboxylation-enabled asymmetric radical-type Clayden rearrangement. The strat...

A NOTE ON TREE–CYCLE RAMSEY NUMBERS

Abstract Let R ( T n , C m ) $R(T_n,C_m)$ upper R left parenthesis upper T Subscript n Baseline comma upper C Subscript m Baseline right parenthesis denote the Ramsey number of a tree T n $T_n$ upper T Subscript n on n $n$ n vertices versus a cycle C m $C_m$ upper C Subscript m o...

Association between age and outcomes of evidence-based feeding protocol versus usual care in critically ill patients: secondary analysis of a multicenter cluster-randomised controlled trial

BACKGROUND: Nutrition therapy is essential in critically ill patients, yet large randomised trials have shown inconsistent results regarding the effect of an evidence-based feeding protocol. The NEED trial showed a feeding protocol could effectively promote delivery of enteral nu...

Climate change and extreme hydroclimatic events primarily regulate sedimentary organic carbon sequestration in an alpine lake on the Tibetan Plateau

Long-term carbon sequestration dynamics of alpine lakes on the Tibetan Plateau under dual pressures from ongoing climate warming and frequent climatic extremes remain poorly understood. Here, we reconstructed century-scale organic carbon burial dynamics and identified organic car...

Few-layered MoS2 nanoflakes confined in N-doped carbon nanocages for high-rate and durable Na storage

Transition metal sulfides are promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their high theoretical capacities and diverse redox reactions. However, their Na storage performances are often limited by poor inherent conductivity and electrochemical instability. He...

This software record contains the custom R scripts and curated study-level tables used to reproduce the revised Bayesian network meta-analysis reported in “Comparative Network Meta-Analysis of Immunotherapy and Targeted Agents for Glioblastoma Survival and Response.” The workflow...

From online traces to upstream surveillance: Large language models uncover the hidden status of non-native freshwater apex predators in China

Biological invasions are often recognised only after ecological damage has become visible in the wild, even though the human-mediated processes that drive introductions may already be underway through private rearing, trade, and release. This gap in upstream surveillance is espec...

Gut Microbiota-Derived Indole-3-propionic Acid Attenuates Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticle-Induced Liver Injury by Targeting Kupffer Cells via the Gut–Liver Axis

Abstract Nanotitanium dioxide (nTiO2) is widely used as a food additive, leading to chronic dietary exposure and rising health concerns. Although adverse effects on the liver and gut microbiota have been individually investigated, whether gut microbiota mediates nTiO2-induced liv...

Developing meta-FM machine learning model with application for personalized language learning environment

A meta-pretrained factorization machine (FM) framework, termed Meta-FM, is proposed to address the cold-start problem in personalized learning path generation for middle-school foreign language education. The framework further introduces a cross-modal feature augmentation module...

Desire, judgment, and burdened agency: Female knight-errant subjectivity and production formation in three contemporary Chinese Wuxia films

This article contributes to feminist wuxia studies by asking how contemporary Chinese wuxia films make women legible not only as fighters but as ethical subjects. Comparing Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), Hou Hsiao-hsien’s The Assassin (2015), and Yuen Woo-ping’s...

Exploring the potential of large language models for public participation in urban redevelopment planning

Public participation is essential to human-centered urban planning, yet existing approaches often struggle to translate dispersed public opinions into clear and discussable preference expressions. This limits substantive deliberation between public preferences and expert knowledg...

Machine learning reveals divergent drivers and migrating thresholds of cropland degradation in Southern and Northern China

Under the dual pressures of rapid urbanization and climate change, cropland systems in China are facing escalating degradation risks, posing a critical threat to national food security. However, the compound driving mechanisms and nonlinear threshold effects underlying cropland d...
