Abstract Cloud‐fog formation substantially reduces near‐surface solar radiation and modulates land‐atmosphere interactions, but quantifying such reduction is limited by sparse mountain observations. Using a 1‐km geostationary satellite‐retrieved product, we apply the Reduction Ra...

Achieving both seismic resilience and sustainability has emerged as a critical objective in contemporary building design and seismic retrofit practice. However, these goals often require substantial upfront investment, leading to trade-offs between initial disaster-prevention cos...

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...

Who speaks for sustainability transformation: Gendered visibility at Taiwan’s sustainability forums
Gender scholarship has shown that climate governance is deeply shaped by social inequalities in voice, authority, and participation. Building on this insight, we examine sustainability conferences as key arenas where climate expertise is publicly staged and legitimised. We treat...

Educational games are often evaluated as unitary interventions, and little is known about how learners appraise individual game elements or how these appraisals relate to experiential and cognitive outcomes. We examined these associations in a board game–based child-development c...

Pairwise analysis of genomic and spatial data offers opportunities to identify and estimate the associations between covariates and the transmission of pathogens between individuals. However, such pairwise analyses are computationally intensive, and may not be feasible to conduct...

ABSTRACT A modular stepwise strategy for the controlled synthesis of heteronuclear metal string complexes (HMSCs) remains highly desirable but is challenging because of the similar coordination preferences of transition‐metal ions. Herein, we demonstrate that a metalloligand‐base...

Cholecystokinin B receptor (CCKBR) is a promising theranostic target because of its overexpression in several malignancies, including medullary thyroid carcinoma, small-cell lung cancer, gastric cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Its high-affinity ligand binding and efficient recepto...

ABSTRACT Background Sacral fractures are posterior pelvic ring injuries which mechanisms range from high‐energy trauma to low‐energy falls in osteoporotic patients. In surgical treatment, percutaneous approaches have demonstrated significant shorter operation time and less soft t...

Abstract Fermi level pinning (FLP) fundamentally limits contact engineering in two-dimensional semiconductors, yet its intrinsic origin remains obscured by the presence of interfacial disorder and defect-induced gap states. Although theoretical models attribute FLP to metal-induc...

Chronic psychosocial stress is increasingly recognized as an important determinant of healthy aging and may contribute to osteoporosis through activation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. However, the association between physiological variation in endogenous corti...

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...

Abstract “Taiwan Area Heavy rain Observation and Prediction Experiment” (TAHOPE) was originally planned to be conducted from August 2019 to July 2022 to study Mei-Yu fronts, mesoscale convective systems (MCSs), landfalling typhoons and afternoon thunderstorms near Taiwan. The Pre...

The Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (CFMIP) contribution to CMIP7
Cloud processes constitute one of the key uncertainties for climate change projections. The fourth iteration of the Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project, CFMIP4, contributes to the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 7 (CMIP7), by providing a set of global climate...

High-resolution historical aerial imagery is valuable for analyzing long-term land-cover and environmental change, but most deep-learning methods rely on multispectral or color data and cannot fully use grayscale archives. We developed a semantically guided framework that uses Op...
