ABSTRACT The crystallographic orientation of Zn deposition essentially controls the electrochemical efficiency of aqueous Zn metal batteries. While (002)‐oriented growth suppresses dendrites, its sluggish kinetics limit rate capability; the (100) plane enables faster deposition b...

Large Language Model for Verilog Code Generation: Literature Review and the Road Ahead

Code generation represents a critical intersection of Software Engineering (SE) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Within this broader landscape, Verilog, as a representative hardware description language (HDL), is fundamental to Electronic Design Automation (EDA), recent research...

Transcriptomic profiling of inner ear hair cell spontaneous regeneration reveals the key role of dlx5a

Sensory hair cells (HCs) are susceptible to damage, typically causing permanent hearing and balance deficits in mammals due to limited regeneration. Understanding spontaneous regeneration in non-mammalian models offers key insights for restoring sensory function. Here, we establi...

Design, simulation and experimental validation of a single-shot piston burner for adjustable diesel PM generation toward confined space deposition

Diesel combustion particulate matter (PM) poses severe environmental and health risks, but the laboratory-scale batch-type, quantitative, and stable generation of diesel PM remain challenging due to the lack of dedicated generators. Here a single-shot piston burner was proposed,...

Nonorthogonal Polarization‐Multiplexed and Detachable Diffractive Processors

Polarization multiplexing provides an elegant route for parallel all-optical processing, yet its intrinsic orthogonality fundamentally limits channel capacity and interlayer interaction in diffractive systems. We present a detachable diffractive processor that leverages nonorthog...

Effects of Pretreatment Temperature on Ni/CeO 2 Catalysts for Low‐Temperature CO 2 Hydrogenation

ABSTRACT Metal–support interaction (MSI) plays a key role in the intrinsic properties of catalysts and related catalytic performance, and it is crucial to explore the correlation between the performance and MSI. Herein, two series of Ni/CeO 2 catalysts were synthesized, and their...

A quantitative and visual detection probe based on isothermal nucleic acid amplification coupled with CRISPR/Cas12a system (INACS) for miR155 detection

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as ideal biomarkers for early clinical diagnosis. Achieving the accurate detection of miRNAs plays a critical role for assuring its implementation in their clinical applications. In this study, we developed a dual-signal amplified ultrasensitive fl...

Terrain‐Adaptive Quadrupedal Locomotion Using Model Predictive Control With Impedance Control and SINDy Model Enhancement

ABSTRACT Quadrupedal robots operating in unstructured environments require adaptive control systems that can handle diverse terrain conditions without prior surface characterization. This paper presents an integrated control architecture that combines Model Predictive Control (MP...

Mefatinib versus gefitinib as a first-line treatment for EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer: a randomized, double-blind, multicenter phase III study

Mefatinib, a novel second-generation epidermal growth factor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has shown promising antitumor activity in targeting non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with common and uncommon EGFR- activating mutations. In this phase III, randomized, double-bli...

Moderate aortic stenosis identified during intensive care admission for a non-cardiac primary diagnosis and 90-day mortality: a retrospective cohort study using the MIMIC-IV echocardiography database

Abstract Background Moderate aortic stenosis is associated with reduced survival in ambulatory cardiology populations, but its prognostic significance when identified during an intensive care admission for a non-cardiac primary diagnosis is unknown. We examined its association wi...

Associations of maternal mood on the outcome of childbirth: a latent profile analysis

It is important to recognize that childbirth and the transition to the maternal role constitute a profound identity reconstruction, involving both the physical experience of labor and the psychological adaptation to motherhood, during which many women experience unstable and inte...

Extraction-reasoning gaps in open-source LLM grading of liver pathology reports

Large language models (LLMs) may reduce the manual effort required to convert narrative pathology reports into structured research data, but it remains unclear whether their performance reflects extraction of explicit diagnostic labels or genuine histopathological reasoning. We e...

Integrated Transcriptomic and Machine-Learning Analyses Identify Shared Na+ Overload-Related Gene Signatures in Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Ankylosing Spondylitis

Background: Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) exhibit substantial pathophysiological overlap, including dysregulated innate immunity, barrier dysfunction, and Th17-mediated inflammation. However, whether Na+ overload-related genes (NRGs) exhibit sha...
