Typhoon‐Driven Near‐Surface Groundwater Dynamics Revealed by Ambient Noise in the Mountain Watershed

Abstract Near‐surface groundwater dynamics (NSGD) regulate water residence time and downstream water resources in mountain watersheds, yet whether a single extreme rainfall event can reorganize near‐surface storage remains unclear. Here, we examine typhoon‐driven NSGD using ambie...

Coordinating Mesopore Geometry and Interfacial Water Dynamics for Iron‐Site Evolution in Nitrate Electroreduction

ABSTRACT Developing electrocatalysts with active sites that undergo structural evolution under operating conditions remains a challenge in electrochemical nitrate reduction. Here, we use single‐crystalline mesoporous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with distinct pore geometries t...

Fluorescent Advanced Glycation End Products and Their Implications in Diabetes Mellitus

ABSTRACT Elevated blood glucose levels are a key contributor to clinical pathologies of diabetes. Prolonged hyperglycemia accelerates the Maillard reaction in tissues and results in the physiological production of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs promote biochemical p...

Mechanically Coupled Supramolecular Scissors Govern Photomechanical and Elastic Responses in Molecular Crystals

Mechanically responsive molecular crystals offer a powerful platform for transducing molecular motion into macroscopic mechanical work, yet molecular-level understanding of how crystal structures govern molecular motion and, consequently, mechanical behavior remains limited. A no...

Mechanisms of Public Service Motivation Development Through Public Administration Education: A Four‐Year Panel Study in Taiwan

ABSTRACT Given that public human capital is critical to sustainable development, this study aims to investigate the mechanisms through which public administration education shapes the public service motivation of prospective civil servants, in either positive or negative ways. Da...

A Scoping Review of Digital Behavioral Approaches to Improve Medication Adherence in Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract Purpose of Review Consistent medication adherence is fundamental for achieving favorable health outcomes in diabetes care; however, attaining optimal adherence remains a challenge. This review summarized recent evidence on digital behavioral interventions designed to imp...

Cilostazol Treatment for Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Targeting Dural Lymphatics

BACKGROUND: The meningeal lymphatic system contributes to hematoma resolution and neurological recovery after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We previously demonstrated that intraperitoneal cilostazol administration promotes dural lymphatic growth and enhances clearance of intrac...

A streamlined protocol for small-scale protoplast generation and CRISPR/Cpf1-mediated genome editing in Fusarium oxysporum

Fusarium oxysporum plays crucial roles as both a damaging plant pathogen and a model for studying host-pathogen interactions. It is well established that systematic functional genomics approaches are vital for advancing agricultural biotechnology and developing biological agents....

Radiofrequency Microneedling Combined With Topical Extracellular Vesicle Preparation for Facial Rejuvenation: A Randomized Split-Face Controlled Study

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether adding a topical extracellular vesicle (EV) preparation after radiofrequency microneedling (RFMN) improves objective and patient-centered outcomes for facial rejuvenation in a randomized split-face design. METHODS: Sixty adults underwent paired faci...

Early Antiviral Therapy in Pediatric Outpatients and Risk of Influenza-Related Hospitalization

OBJECTIVES: Evidence on the effectiveness of antiviral therapy in preventing influenza-related severe illness and hospitalization among children remains limited. We hypothesized that early administration of antiviral therapy within 48 hours of symptom onset would significantly re...

Measuring Ocean Surface Waves

Abstract Propagating waves on the ocean surface can be represented as a stochastic process whose statistics are characterized by a spectrum. This paper reviews methods for measuring the wave spectrum and related quantities. Observations begin by sensing fluid dynamical properties...

Optimizing Recovery in Head and Neck Surgery: Factors Influencing Drainage and Early Discharge

Background: Postoperative bleeding and prolonged drainage after head and neck surgery may delay drainage tube removal and hospital discharge, increasing complication risk and resource utilization. Optimizing intra and postoperative hemostasis is essential to facilitate early reco...

Integrative analysis of bulk, single-cell, and spatial transcriptomes reveals a clinically relevant transcriptional program from hepatocellular carcinoma to pan-cancer

Abstract Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, underscoring the urgent need for robust molecular signatures that support multiple clinical tasks and generalize across diverse transcriptomic platforms. Results We p...
