Mapping the methodological landscape of coupling carbon and electricity markets: A critical review of models, applications, and future pathways

Coupled carbon-electricity markets are increasingly important for power-sector decarbonization, but existing studies remain fragmented in their modeling objectives, assumptions, and methodological choices. To address this gap, this study develops a bibliometric-informed methodolo...

Checkerboard-type Zhang-Rice states in overdoped cuprate superconductors

Abstract Cuprate superconductors remain central to condensed matter physics due to their technological relevance and unconventional, incompletely understood electronic behavior. While the canonical phase diagram and low-energy models have been shaped largely by studies of underdo...

Correcting social norm misperceptions to counter online vaccine misinformation during pandemics

Abstract Online vaccine misinformation circulating on social media undermines public health efforts, yet factual debunking alone has shown limited success in improving vaccination intentions. We tested whether combining descriptive social norm information with factual debunking i...

Triglyceride-glucose-sarcopenia index and risk of cardiovascular diseases in multinational prospective cohorts

Abstract Background Muscle tissue dictates insulin-driven glucose uptake; muscle dysfunction paired with insulin resistance can trigger a compound cardiometabolic failure. However, whether this dual pathology confers incremental long-term cardiovascular risk stratification is yet...

Learning-based hybrid optimization for circular E-waste supply chains under uncertainty

The rapid growth of electronic waste and increasing pressure to adopt circular-economy practices challenge conventional supply-chain design, particularly under uncertain demand, return flows, recovery yields, and technology performance. This study develops a Circular, Sustainable...

Do Androgens and Sex Hormone–Binding Globulin Mediate Sex Differences in the Risk of Stroke and Myocardial Infarction? The KORA Study

BACKGROUND: Sex differences in cardiovascular disease are well established, but the role of androgens and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) remains unclear. We investigated whether these hormones and SHBG mediate sex differences in the risk of stroke and myocardial infarction (...

Grounding the cloud: Urbanism in the shadow of data , by Ali Fard

Cloud computing has left us with a persistent cognitive impasse, as more of the world is encountered through digital interfaces that smooth partial representations into seemingly seamless systems w...

A local shape-aware compensation approach to improve the geometric accuracy of layer contours in 3D printing

Purpose This study aims to enhance the geometric accuracy of layer external contours of 3D-printed parts by implementing a local shape-aware compensation approach. Design/methodology/approach Systematic experiments analyze the positional deviations of points along layer contours...

Configurational-Entropy-Engineered Prussian Blue Analogue Cathodes for Low-Temperature Semi-solid-state H2 Batteries

Abstract Low-temperature proton transport kinetics remains a key limitation for rechargeable H2 batteries. Herein, we report a configurational-entropy-engineered K1.36Mn0.6Fe0.1Co0.1Ni0.1Cu0.1[Fe(CN)6]0.61·□0.39·1.2H2O (CEM0.6-PBA) cathode for semi-solid-state H2 batteries. Densi...

Independent Ageing Amongst Older Adults Who Live Alone: Social Networks and Support in Singapore

ABSTRACT This paper examines how older adults who live alone draw on local and extra‐local social ties—including kinship relations, community networks, and friendships—to age independently in Singapore. Conceptually, it engages with extant debates on the hierarchical‐compensatory...

Filling-ratio-dependent heat transfer behavior and machine-learning prediction of hybrid water–paraffin phase change thermal storage

This study investigates interfacial replacement-controlled melting in an immiscible water–paraffin thermal storage system. Unlike conventional phase change storage, in which heat transfer is mainly limited by the low conductivity of phase change material (PCM) and the increasing...

Unrestricted Phase Manipulation in Electrically Programmable Terahertz Metadevices via Dual-State Decoupling

Abstract Future terahertz (THz) paradigms, particularly in the context of 6G wireless networks and ubiquitous sensing, necessitate highly integrated and reconfigurable platforms capable of high-dimensional wavefront manipulation. However, the development of multifunctional THz me...

Street view video for urban sensing: Potential for measuring urban vitality

Urban vitality is a key quality of the livability and attractiveness of a city, with street-level social dynamics recognized as a central representation. However, existing approaches to capturing such dynamics, primarily through pedestrian volume, rely on static imagery, location...

LiCoO 2 /LiMn 0.6 Fe 0.4 PO 4 Composite Cathode with Enhanced Interfacial Structure Enables Long‐Life Lithium‐Ion Batteries

ABSTRACT Extending the cycle life of LiCoO 2 (LCO) cathodes under elevated cutoff voltages remains a critical challenge for lithium‐ion batteries, as accelerated degradation is often governed by reaction heterogeneity and interfacial instability. Herein, we report a composite cat...

Atomic Defect-Mediated Charge Trapping Enables Multimodal Plasticity in van der Waals Heterostructures for In-Sensor Neuromorphic Vision

Abstract Neuromorphic hardware that unifies sensing, memory, and learning at the device level remains challenging due to limited optoelectronic comodulation and rigid architectures. Here, we report a flexible, van der Waals (vdW)-integrated MoS2/hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN)/gra...

Lessons from arthritis and osteomyelitis mimicking juvenile idiopathic arthritis: painlessness as an important clue to NTRK1 mutations

Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is an extremely rare disorder that is caused by autosomal recessive mutations in the Neurotrophic Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (NTRK1) gene. The disease typically presents with a triad of insensitivity to pain and temperature, a...

State of the art: practical evaluation and management of tuberculous pleural effusion

Purpose of review Tuberculous pleuritis (TBP) is one of the most common causes of new-onset pleural effusion, particularly in tuberculosis-endemic regions. This review discusses recent advances in the diagnosis and practical management of TBP, with an emphasis on integrating biom...

Peri‐operative glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist use and outcomes: a national prospective multicentre cohort study

Summary Introduction Peri‐operative glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1 RA) use is associated with delayed gastric emptying. It is unclear what proportion of patients having anaesthetic care are receiving GLP‐1 RAs; what strategies are used in their peri‐operative man...

Coordinate rings on symmetric spaces

Abstract Let $$G_k$$ G k be a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field k of char $$\ne 2$$ ≠ 2 . Let $$\theta _k$$ θ k be an algebraic group involution of $$G_k$$ G k and denote the fixed point subgroup by $$K_k$$ K k . We construct an integral model for the s...
