Accelerated Zeolite Defect Healing Suppresses Oxygen-Containing Species Trapping for Tandem Propene Epoxidation

Abstract Selective oxidation of chemical feedstocks with in situ-generated H2O2 offers a sustainable route to high-value oxygenates, yet such tandem catalysis is often fundamentally limited by the trapping of oxygen-containing species, including H2O2-derived intermediates and oxy...

Comparison of CT-based migration analysis against radiostereometric analysis for assessing two-year migration in an uncemented medial pivot tibial knee implant

Aims: Radiostereometric analysis (RSA) is the gold standard for migration analysis of orthopaedic implants, but CT-based RSA has shown comparable results in an increasing number of joints. In this study, we compared the method in an uncemented medial pivot tibial implant. Our pri...

Experimental assessment of engineering models with CFD derived heave hydrodynamic coefficients for a shallow draft barge-type floating wind turbine

Nonlinear hydrodynamic loading for barge-type floating wind turbines (FWTs) remains particularly challenging to capture accurately using engineering (mid-fidelity) models. This study examines the wave-induced responses of a barge-type FWT. Model tests are performed for the novel...

Optimizing hydrogen supply chains for energy-intensive industries: A cost-efficient framework

This study develops an optimization workflow that connects hydrogen supply chain design, hourly operation, screening of parameters, and two-stage stochastic planning. Five supply configurations and three demand profiles for a synthetic steel hub in Asturias (Spain) are compared....

Metocean-stats v1.2: An open-source framework for reproducible and actionable metocean data analysis

Metocean analyses are fundamental to offshore and coastal engineering, maritime operations, and renewable energy development, where reliable estimates of winds, waves, currents, sea level, and related variables are required for structural design, safety assessment, and operationa...

Bariatric Surgery and Risk of Obesity-Related Cancer by Age and Sex

Importance Obesity is associated with elevated risks for multiple cancers. How bariatric surgery influences these risks across age and sex is insufficiently understood. Objective To evaluate the association between bariatric surgery and obesity-related cancer (breast, endometrial...

Å lære å innovere: veien til økt innovasjonskompetanse i norske kommuner

I artikkelen blir det undersøkt hvordan en praksisnær videreutdanning i innovasjon for kommunalt ansatte bidrar til å utvikle studentenes innovasjonskompetanse. Studien har et kvalitativt, utforskende design og bygger på semistrukturerte dybdeintervjuer av tidligere studenter. Ut...

How the European economic area electricity trading market failed into Gresham's Law dynamics and how to redesign it

The current European Economic Area electricity trading was established to lower retail prices and secure the supply of power to its customers. However, the results are the opposite. Prices have increased and the supply of power has become less stable after the integration of vari...

WSymBERT: a weighted neuro-symbolic model for interpretable CVSS prediction

Abstract The rapid growth in reported software vulnerabilities, combined with substantial delays in manual Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) assessment, has created a critical need for automated and interpretable vulnerability scoring tools. When vulnerabilities remain u...

Transfer of verb placement in L3 French: Evidence from self-paced reading

The role of metalinguistic knowledge in transfer patterns in L3 is unclear. Although several recent studies have provided data on learners’ transfer patterns from L1 versus L2 in L3 French, these largely come from off-line tasks which may rely on metalinguistic knowledge. Thus, l...

Influence of elevated temperature on hydride formation and hydrogen-assisted deformation in pure titanium

Abstract The effect of temperature on hydride formation and hydrogen-induced deformation in α-Ti was investigated using tensile testing combined with in-situ SEM observations. Microstructural characterization of hydrogen-charged and deformed specimens at both room temperature and...

Competition and soil conditions limit the growth of High Arctic non‐native plants

Non-native vascular plant species in the High Arctic are currently restricted mainly to settlements and other anthropogenically disturbed areas. The reasons for this remain unclear, but climate or dispersal do not appear to be the main limiting factors. Instead, biotic interactio...

Multi‐professional simulation training on prolonged labor in Tanzania: A quasi‐experimental, pre‐post interventional study

Abstract Introduction In many middle‐income countries, cesarean section rates have increased substantially and reached levels of more than 50% in urban regions. Prolonged labor and non‐reassuring fetal heart rate are the most common indications for intrapartum cesarean section. T...

Stable and efficient n-type scaffolded semiconductor for photocatalytic hydrogen production under tungsten light irradiation

Abstract The production of green hydrogen (H 2 ) is a sustainable strategy to address the current energy crisis without contributing to long-term greenhouse gas emissions. Many powder-based photocatalysts have shown great promise for light-driven H 2 generation; however, in eithe...

Beyond Scalar Objectives: Expert-Feedback-Driven Autonomous Experimentation for Scientific Discovery at the Nanoscale

Abstract Self-driving laboratories or autonomous experimentation are emerging as transformative platforms for accelerating scientific discovery. Bayesian optimization (BO) is among the most widely used machine learning frameworks in self-driving laboratories, but these BO-based f...

When simulator experiences shape later choices: Measuring behavioural spillover on travel preferences

Behavioural spillover, where one behaviour affects others, non-targeted behaviours, is widely studied in psychology but underexamined in transport, despite its potential to improve sustainability. We offer a novel contribution by combining an immersive and feedback-supported driv...

Assessment of perceived competence in aquatic education: Aspects of reliability and validity of the Perceived Swimming Competence Assessment Scale

The objective of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of a new scale, Perceived Swimming Competence Assessment Scale (PSCAS), designed to assess perceived swimming competence in children. The scale is aligned with skills assessed in the Swimming Competence Assess...

Visual cue properties determine innate orientation strategy in Monarch butterflies

Animals use a wide range of environmental signals, including celestial and terrestrial cues for navigation. While celestial cues, such as the sun, play a major role in maintaining a constant heading during long-distance migration and dispersal, terrestrial cues provide an animal...

Revisiting air stability effects on whitecap coverage

The article addresses air stability effects on whitecap coverage at sea. This is achieved by using the logarithmic mean wind speed profile including a stability function as well as adopting two sea surface roughness formulas. The results are valid for wind waves in local equilibr...

Learning from cyberattacks: how problem-focused coping enables individual and organisational learning in a cybersecurity context

Purpose During a cyberattack, employees who resort to problem-focused coping are more likely to respond effectively and learn from that experience. However, little attention has been given to how organisations can promote problem coping and how organisations can learn from a real...
