A layered dynamic material flow framework for modeling building renovations

Abstract Dynamic material flow analysis (dMFA) is widely used to study the material demands of residential building stocks. In most of the studies conducted to date, buildings are modeled as homogeneous units instead of a system of components. A limitation of this assumption is t...

Evaluating the Stability of Oxide‐Derived Cu─Sn Catalysts for CO 2 Reduction in Zero‐Gap Electrolyzers

ABSTRACT Bimetallic electrocatalysts hold substantial potential for scaling up CO 2 electroreduction, yet their practical deployment is hindered by a persistent gap between conventional three‐electrode testing and industrially relevant electrolyzer conditions. In this study, we e...

XPO1-mediated TRIM21 nuclear export reprograms TREM2+ macrophage polarization by targeting IRF3 to augment anti-PD-1 efficacy in small cell lung cancer

Abstract Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive malignancy that responds poorly to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy, due to its immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Here, we analyse preclinical mouse tumor models and patient-derived SCLC samples and identify...

From chemical oscillators to biological synchrony: a programmable reaction-diffusion model for studying signal coordination in cardiomyocyte networks

Abstract The self-organization of asynchronous rhythms into synchronized beating in in vitro cardiomyocyte networks is a fundamental problem in systems biology research. Inspired by the dynamics of chemical oscillators, this paper presents a programmable model framework based on...

Ultrasound-Activated Janus Heterojunction-Mediated Enhanced Cascade Nanozyme for Inflammatory Bowel Disease Therapy

Abstract Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is exacerbated by the excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). To overcome the insufficient catalytic activity of conventional cerium-based nanozymes, we designed an ultrasound-activated Bi@BTC heterojunction nanozyme. The...

Reconstructing pharyngealized vowels for Qieyun Division II in Middle Chinese

Abstract It is widely accepted that Middle Chinese Division II, a syllable category in Middle Chinese, originates from the Old Chinese medial *-r-, yet its reconstruction remains debated. Existing proposals assign Division II a palatal, velar, or r-colored feature or segment. Bui...

Mandated to Change, Pressured to Survive: How Newly Appointed CEOs Use Resonance to Manage Strategic Change–Early Survival Dilemma

Abstract Newly appointed CEOs often enter office with a mandate to initiate strategic change, yet such change disrupts established routines and interests, frequently provoking resistance from organizational stakeholders. This creates a fundamental leadership transition dilemma: t...

Dynamically Tunable Exciton‐Photon Coupling via Multi‐Physics Field in Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Microcavities

ABSTRACT Atomically thin transition‐metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) host tightly bound excitons with large oscillator strengths, making them ideal for studying light‐matter interactions and polaritonic devices. When integrated with optical microcavities, TMD monolayers and van der W...

Prognostic significance of adropin with Grace and Gensini scores for in-hospital outcomes in ST: elevation myocardial infarction patients

This prospective cohort study investigated the prognostic value of serum Adropin in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and its incremental predictive utility beyond traditional GRACE and Gensini scores. A total of 508 participants were enrolled, incl...

How does advertising goal framing impact green hotel consumption intentions? The moderating role of nature connectedness

Promoting green hotel consumption is a key element in the green transformation and upgrading of the tourism industry. Goal framing serves as a common method of information presentation to encourage consumer behavior. However, few studies have examined how advertising goal framing...

SupramolecularlyStabilized Copper(I) Halides forHigh-Efficiency Near-Ultraviolet Emission and X-ray Scintillation

Abstract Near-ultraviolet (NUV)-emissive materials are crucial for advanced photonic technologies and high-resolution scintillators. However, existing NUV-emitting materials face challenges in balancing efficiency, stability, and scalability for broad optoelectronic applications....

NiCo-PBA-DerivedHollow Co–C–N-DopedNiS Nanocages as High-Performance Cathode Materials for Aqueous Zinc-IonBatteries

Abstract Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have emerged as a promising candidate for next-generation energy storage systems due to their low cost, high safety, and environmental benignity. Nevertheless, the inherent drawbacks of zinc-ion battery cathode materials, including insu...

Searching the Literature by Meaning: Benchmarking Free and Commercial Word Embedding Models on Social Work Text

<p><b><i><span>Purpose</span></i></b><span>: Locating relevant studies is the first step of evidence-based practice, yet most searching relies on keyword matching. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools called embedding models search by...

Toward In Situ ProgrammingLigand Desorption/AdsorptionDynamics of Metal Nanoparticles in Electrocatalysis

Abstract Ligand effects represent a long-last dilemma in metal nanocatalysis, as organic ligand coordination inevitably blocks active metal sites while maintaining structure stability of nanoparticles. To tackle this challenge, we demonstrate herein a supramolecular interaction-a...

Anomalies of NetPrimary Productivity under CompoundMarine Heatwaves and Microplastics

Abstract Marine heatwaves (MHW) and microplastics (MPs) pollution increasingly co-occur, yet the response of phytoplankton net primary production (NPP) to this compound condition remains incompletely characterized, in part because analyses confined to local conditions may overloo...

Intermittent fasting promotes plaque regression and activates the BMAL1–MERTK efferocytosis axis

Abstract Background Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease can progress despite intensive lipid lowering, highlighting the need to identify local mechanisms that remodel established plaques. Intermittent fasting may engage metabolic, circadian, and immune pathways relevant to thi...

Time-Resolved Fluorescence of a Two-Level System Using Time-Dependent Variational Method

The time-resolved fluorescence spectrum of a driven two-level system is investigated using a time-dependent variational method. We first establish the transient build-up of the Mollow triplet via the Lindblad master equation under the rotating-wave approximation, providing a comp...

Extreme heat, supply chain risks and enterprise performance

This paper examines the impact of exposure to high temperatures on the performance of downstream enterprises. By constructing “supplier-customer” pairs during 2010-2019, we explore exogenous variation in temperature and find that high temperatures in suppliers' regions significan...

Chemo-Enzymatic Synthesisof Purine 3′-O-Amino-DeoxyribonucleosideTriphosphates

Abstract 3′-O-amino-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (3′-ONH2-dNTPs) are crucial reversible terminators for template-independent DNA synthesis. Owing to the structural complexity of purine bases, here we propose a chemo-enzymatic process for the synthesis of purine-type 3′-ONH2-...
