Review of Current Techniques for Tracking as Behavior Across Micro-Interfaces in Paddy

Arsenic (As) in rice poses health risks, and the soil micro-interface is the key zone controlling As transformation and migration in the soil-water-rice system. Sharp redox transitions along the soil-water interface and rhizosphere cause simultaneous millimeter-scale changes in r...

Touch Localization with a Resistive Position Sensor-Gated Oxide Neuromorphic Transistor

Abstract The ability to localize external mechanical stimuli is fundamental to human tactile perception, making its hardware implementation of significant interest for advanced human–machine interaction. Here, a resistive position sensor (RPS) is proposed for touch location recog...

High value‐added use of natural plant products in crop protection: construction of novel N ‐sulfonylpyrrolomatrine derivatives from a naturally tetracyclic quinolizidine alkaloid sophocarpine via the Van Leusen reaction as aphicidal agents

Abstract BACKGROUND Nowadays, structural modifications of natural products have been one of procedures for research and development of new pesticide candidates. Here, by using a naturally tetracyclic quinolizidine alkaloid sophocarpine as the lead compound, a series of N ‐sulfony...

CD34+ myofibroblasts promote neointima formation in vein grafts by activating ferroptosis-induced smooth muscle cell phenotype switch

Abstract Aim Vein graft (VG) failure due to adverse remodeling and aggressive neointimal hyperplasia is a major complication and key limiting factor for maintaining long-term VG patency. CD34+ cells have been implicated in multiple cardiovascular diseases, but their functional in...

A trans-therapeutic signature of recovery in internet gaming disorder: From shared network reorganization to molecular underpinnings.

Background and aims: A variety of self-regulation interventions have shown efficacy in treating Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD), but their shared and unique neurobiological mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to identify a common, trans-therapeutic neural signature of recov...

Does AI-Assisted Design Undermine Market Value? The Influence of Design Source, Style, and Campaign Duration

Against the backdrop of the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technologies, traditional design value assessment systems based on creative input are facing new challenges. This study aims to examine the effects of design source (human-designed design vs. AI-assisted des...

Performance of the axial length-to-corneal radius ratio in distinguishing pre-myopia from hyperopia under cycloplegia in school-aged children: an age-stratified retrospective cross-sectional study

The axial length/corneal radius (AL/CR) ratio is an established structural indicator of myopia, but its ability to discriminate within the non-myopic range—specifically pre-myopia from hyperopia under cycloplegia—remains poorly characterised. We aimed to evaluate the performance...

Machine learning enhanced electrohydrodynamic printing of heteroatom-doped composite electrodes for high-performance flexible supercapacitors

Flexible supercapacitors are promising power sources for wearable electronics, but single-component electrodes often provide insufficient capacitance or poor rate performance. Integrating materials with different charge-storage mechanisms while controlling electrode structure rem...

Frost Heave Evolution and Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical Coupling Analysis of Transmission Tower Foundations in Silty Clay of Seasonally Frozen Regions

Frost heave of transmission tower foundations in seasonally frozen regions endangers cold-region power infrastructure and grid security. This study establishes a coupled model to simulate foundation freeze-thaw and frost heave processes, validated via laboratory tests. The result...

Beyond scenic tea tourism: Reframing therapeutic experience through enabling places

This study conceptualizes therapeutic experience in tea tourism as relationally assembled through material, social, and affective enabling resources. Drawing on a constructivist grounded theory study conducted in Wuyishan, China, we identify nine enabling resources and three enab...

God-Nature and the Walpurgisnacht Motif in Goethe’s Faust: Religious Continuity and Contestation in Literary Form

Goethe’s three Walpurgisnacht scenes in Faust are usually separated as demonic spectacle, satirical intermezzo, and classical phantasmagoria. Read together, they form a poetic sequence interpreted through Goethe’s conception of God-Nature (Gott-Natur), a non-systematic conception...

Assessing Arctic ship navigability: Divergence between international rules and local regulations

Arctic ship navigability is affected by both international rules and local regulatory frameworks. When differences arise between the two frameworks from policy and practical perspectives, issues inevitably arise, yet they remain insufficiently addressed in the existing literature...

IRP1 affects the long-term survival and function of iTregs by regulating ferroptosis and apoptosis

As an important classification of Tregs, iTregs play a critical role in inducing transplant immune tolerance. Iron metabolism is closely linked to iTreg function, and IRP1 serves as a central regulator of cellular iron homeostasis. However, the relationship between IRP1 and iTreg...

Dynamic user interest modeling and prediction integrating query box embedding with graph neural networks

User interests are multi-peaked, vaguely bounded, and prone to temporal drift, yet most recommendation models still encode them as single points in a latent space, discarding coverage and uncertainty alike. This paper represents interest as a region rather than a location, and le...

Valproic Acid Inhibits Glioma Cell Proliferation by Inducing Neuronal‐Like Differentiation Partly Through HDAC1/REST Suppression

ABSTRACT Inducing differentiation of glioma cells, including glioma stem cells (GSCs), into neuron‐like cells represents a promising therapeutic strategy. Our previous drug repositioning study revealed that histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are potential inducers of glioma ce...

Satellite altimetry reveals heterogeneity in global flood peak timing and its shifts

Flood peak timing (FloPT) is a key indicator of hydrological responses to climate change. Yet global FloPT assessments is limited by sparse and uneven in-situ discharge observations. Here, we demonstrated the capability of satellite altimetry to estimate FloPT worldwide and prese...

Bioinspired Thermal-Stable Room-Temperature Phosphorescent Peptides

Abstract Room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials exhibit long-lived emission, making them promising for bioimaging, information security, and flexible optoelectronics. Traditional inorganic systems are limited by toxicity and complex synthesis, whereas their organic coun...

Controlling Nonadiabatic Transitions through Engineered Ultrafast Laser Fields at Conical Intersections

Abstract In this paper, we investigate the coherent control of nonadiabatic dynamics at a conical intersection (CI) using engineered ultrafast laser pulses. Within a model vibronic system, we tailor the pulse chirp and temporal profile and compute the resulting wave packet popula...

Development and Analytical Validation of a Smartphone‐Based Quantitative Lateral Flow Immunoassay for Serum Cystatin‐C
