An integrated evaluation and uniformity control process for jet grouting column diameter in interlayered soils

Controlling the diameter of jet-grouted columns is difficult because of variable ground conditions and the complex interaction of grouting parameters. As jet grouting is increasingly used in space-constrained and traffic-intensive areas, traditional trial-and-error pilot tests ar...

Achieving 10% Efficiency in Quantum Dot‐Sensitized Solar Cells via Vacancy‐Engineered Carbon Nitride in CuS/C Heterostructures

ABSTRACT The development of high‐efficiency counter electrodes (CEs) is a pivotal challenge for advancing the performance of quantum dot‐sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs). This study reports the rational synthesis of a CuS/C‐DCN ox heterostructure, featuring copper sulfide nanopart...

Chamfer effect in the step and Eddy corner of the backward-facing step fluidic oscillator

Abstract A backward-facing step fluidic oscillator (BFSFO) was modified by creating chamfers at step and Eddy corners with variations from 20% to 80%. Analysis was conducted using CFD methods involving an SST k-ω turbulence model. Reynolds numbers ranged from 3 × 10⁴ to 5.5 × 10⁴...

Impact of Source Contact Segmentation on the Electrical Characteristics of 4H‐SiC Planar MOSFETs

Source contact (SC) segmentation is investigated as a layout approach for tuning the capacitance, conduction, blocking, and switching characteristics of 1.7 kV 4H‐silicon carbide (4H‐SiC) planar metal‐oxide‐semiconductor field‐effect transistors (MOSFETs). Three‐dimensional TCAD...

Solar‐Driven Photothermal Manufacturing of Defect‐Rich Oxide Interfaces for Biomass Electrocatalysis

ABSTRACT Defect‐rich metal oxides are central to sustainable electrocatalysis, yet conventional heat treatment is generally constrained by thermodynamic equilibrium, limiting precise control over defect chemistry while requiring substantial energy input. Here, we establish a sola...

Paired functional screening reveals GMI‑modulated drug response behavior in heterogeneous tumor models

Tumor drug sensitivity is often evaluated under static experimental conditions despite the dynamic biological environments that influence therapeutic response. Here, we established a paired ex vivo functional screening framework to evaluate modulation-dependent drug-response beha...

Genomic Characterization of Colistin and Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli from Diseased Food-Producing Animals in Taiwan

Background: The global spread of antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli (E. coli) from food-producing animals is a critical concern within the One Health framework, particularly because of the potential transmission of clinically relevant resistance determinants across the...

Back-analysis of bi-directional pile load tests of drilled shaft socketed in weak rock

Back-analyses using the finite-element method were undertaken to evaluate the performance of three bi-directional pile load-tested (BPLT) drilled shafts socketed into weak rock (sandstone) for a cable-stayed bridge structure. The hardening soil (HS) model was employed to define t...

Toward on-premises RAG pipelines for AI-assisted neuroradiology: practical considerations on privacy, accuracy, and timeliness

Accurate differential diagnosis (DDx) in neuroradiology is challenging and remains vulnerable to cognitive biases and inter-reader variability in clinical practice. Despite expert training, human-generated DDx may be limited in breadth. Large language models (LLMs) have shown pro...
