Applying a Novel CLDD Lossless Snubber for SEPIC Converters

This paper proposes a CLDD lossless snubber for application in SEPIC converters. Unlike conventional designs, this snubber employs no active components, utilizing instead two diodes, a snubber inductor, and a snubber capacitor to reduce switching losses and enhance efficiency. Th...

Pragmatic competence and authenticity in EIL curricula and listening assessments: The case of Hong Kong and Taiwan

Recent English globalization has highlighted the need for English language teaching (ELT) to prioritize pragmatic competence for effective international communication rather than ‘native-like’ accuracy. This study examines how this concept of pragmatic competence is reflected in...

Plasmon-Enhanced Copper Nanodendrites as Dual-Function SERS Substrates and Photoelectrochemical H2O2 Sensors

A facile, one-step galvanic replacement route was used to grow hierarchical copper nanodendrites (Cu NDs) directly on aluminum (Al) foil, providing a dual-function plasmonic platform for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and enzyme-free photoelectrochemical (PEC) detection...

Gate Electrode Engineering for Tunable Synaptic Plasticity in Organic Electrochemical Neuromorphic Devices

ABSTRACT Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) are widely studied for neuromorphic hardware, as their volumetric electrochemical doping couples ionic and electronic transport to mimic biological synaptic transmission. Research on OECT‐based artificial synapses has focused p...

Withdrawal Constrained Transfer for Revising Rollout Support in World Model Planning

Predictive world models organize candidate futures, yet execution experience can change which futures should retain deployment authority. This paper studies revision of a rollout admission rule rather than construction of a new planner or safety objective. Withdrawal Constrained...

Compositional Reuse of Semantic Change Relations in World Model Dynamics

Compositional generalization asks whether familiar structure can still be reused when familiar pieces appear in combinations absent during fitting. In world model dynamics, this becomes a question of whether directed effects among semantic changes can be recombined without learni...

Nonantipodal Semantic Change as a Planning Abstraction for World Model Latents

Planning with a world model depends not only on predictive accuracy but also on which distinctions remain available to downstream reasoning. The abstraction asks whether opposing semantic changes should be merged into one signed coordinate or preserved as separate directions unti...

Interfacial engineering of sulfur-modified g-C3N5/V2O5 heterostructures for enhanced overall water splitting and sonophotocatalytic tetracycline degradation

Electrochemical water splitting (EWS) and photocatalytic advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are promising approaches for clean hydrogen production and environmental remediation; however, their efficiency is often limited by high overpotentials, rapid charge recombination, and po...

Performance Optimization of Lead-Free Cs2AgBiI6 Solar Cells with the LBSO Electron Transport Layer: A SCAPS-1D Simulation Study

Abstract Lead toxicity in conventional halide perovskites has long been a concern for practical photovoltaic deployment, and Cs2AgBiI6 double perovskites gained significant attention as promising lead-free alternatives due to their high carrier mobility, suitable optoelectronic c...

Dynamic Photochromic Molecular Design for Regulating the Structure–Property–Function Relationship of Liquid Crystalline Polymer Networks

Abstract The ability to simultaneously regulate optical response, mechanical properties, and macroscopic actuation remains a central challenge in the molecular design of photoresponsive liquid crystalline polymer networks. While photochromic molecules have been widely explored as...

Low‐Threshold Red Lasing in Diketopyrrolopyrrole‐Based Organic Semiconductor Films

ABSTRACT Achieving low‐lasing threshold organic semiconductor lasers (OSLs) in the red to deep‐red region remains challenging due to the intrinsic trade‐off between long‐wavelength emission and high optical gain. Extended π‐conjugation required for red‐shifted emission typically...

Multi‐Biomimetic Structural Colors Inspired by Pearls and Bird Feathers

ABSTRACT One‐dimensional photonic crystals (1D PCs) enable precise control of light–matter interactions and display stable structural colors. However, their optical performance critically depends on strict periodicity and nanometer‐scale control of thickness, necessitating comple...

Dual-functional Amino–Sulfonic acid interfacial passivation for efficient perovskite solar cells

Interfacial defect passivation is essential for suppressing non-radiative recombination (NRR) and charge accumulation, which limit the performance of inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, we introduce DSDA (4,4′-diamino-2,2′-stilbenedisulfonic acid) as a multifunctional...

An Integrated HFACS–FMEA Model Under an Interval-Valued Fermatean Fuzzy Environment for Human-Factor Risk Assessment in Construction Engineering

Construction accidents are predominantly rooted in human factors that cut across organizational, supervisory, and operational levels, yet traditional risk-assessment tools struggle to capture the multi-level causation and cognitive uncertainty involved. This study integrates the...
