2H‐Phase Molybdenum Diselenide/Hollow Carbon Sphere‐Based Separator With “One‐Stone‐Two‐Birds” Effect Boosting High‐Performance Lithium‐Sulfur Batteries

ABSTRACT Lithium‐sulfur batteries (LSBs) offer advantages such as high energy density, cost‐effectiveness, and abundant sulfur resources and therefore are regarded as ideal large‐scale energy storage systems. However, due to the shuttle effect caused by the dissolution of soluble...

Defining and Measuring Developmental Regression During Childhood: A Scoping Review

ABSTRACT Developmental regression during childhood is inconsistently defined and measured, resulting in delayed diagnostic discovery and intervention. This study aimed to examine published definitions and measures for developmental regression. A comprehensive search strategy was...

Assessing the Influence of Risk Maturity Level on Construction Delay Factors: A Machine Learning-Based Model

Construction project delays remain a persistent challenge in the construction industry, yet existing studies have generally examined delay risk prioritisation and organisational risk management maturity as separate research domains. This study addresses this gap by investigating...

Factors associated with bowel cancer screening participation among First Nations Peoples receiving home health care services in New South Wales, Australia

First Nations Australians consistently exhibit lower bowel screening participation rates than non-First Nations Australians. However, limited studies have been conducted to understand the factors associated with bowel cancer screening participation among First Nations Australians...

Using long-axial field-of-view dynamic PET/CT data to generate synthetic contrast enhanced CT images

ABSTRACT Purpose Dynamic whole-body [ 18 F]FDG PET/CT (DWB-PET/CT) imaging performed on long-axial field-of-view (LAFOV) systems enables the simultaneous assessment of tracer delivery and metabolism across extended anatomical regions. We investigated whether tracer delivery infor...

Advanced Membrane Technologies for the Treatment of Industrial Wastewater and Emerging Contaminants: Challenges and Innovations

Industrial wastewater management has become one of the defining environmental challenges of the twenty-first century [...]

Fire resistance tests of light steel floor–ceiling systems using steel sheet-laminated gypsum plasterboards

Light steel framed (LSF) floor–ceiling systems using cold-formed steel (CFS) joists typically rely on multi-layer gypsum plasterboard ceilings for fire protection, but their fire resistance is often governed by premature ceiling lining fall-off. This study evaluates the use of Su...

Implementing evidence in residential aged care facilities: a longitudinal multi-method evaluation of knowledge broker evolution

Background Knowledge brokers act as intermediaries to bridge evidence-to-practice gaps. Limited evidence describes how the knowledge broker role in health settings evolves over time. This study aimed to (a) examine the evolution of knowledge broker activities over a 12-month impl...

Vancomycin optimised dosing regimens for critically ill patients receiving renal replacement therapy

Optimal dosing of vancomycin in critically ill patients receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT) is uncertain due to high pharmacokinetic variability. We aimed to develop individualised vancomycin dosing recommendations that optimise efficacy while minimising toxicity. Prospecti...

Considerations from a pilot study: Informing future research on gender and sexuality diverse autistic students' perspectives of Internet threats

Abstract Autistic students often face unique challenges related to Internet threats. When intersected with gender and sexuality diversity, challenges can compound and lead to increased risk of bullying, discrimination, marginalisation and exclusion. Although there is an intersect...

Enhancing passing ability of coral aggregate concrete by optimising wet packing density

This study employed sea sand (SS) and coral aggregate (CA) to completely replace river sand and natural coarse aggregate in the production of seawater sea sand coral aggregate concrete (SSCAC). However, the porous characteristics of CA increase the surface friction between the ce...

One Stone Two Birds: Sustainable Perovskite Solar Cells Obtained by Using Water‐Based Recycled PbI 2 and Guanidinium Thiocyanate Post‐Treatment

Recycling materials from end‐of‐use metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is essential for reducing environmental risks and improving the sustainability of this emerging photovoltaic technology, with lead iodide (PbI 2 ) being a target due to its toxicity and material value....

Is anybody listening? Children and young people’s participation in tourism policy

Purpose This study explores the extent to which children and young people are incorporated into tourism policy and planning in Australia. This study aims to critically assess their recognition as stakeholders in destination governance and to evaluate whether their participation i...

β1- and β2-adrenergic receptor mediated spontaneous contractions and ryanodine receptor channel opening in human failing heart

Abstract In heart failure, β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR)-Gsα-cAMP-protein kinase A (PKA) signalling predisposes to delayed-afterdepolarisation-mediated arrhythmias. Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) hydrolyse cAMP, and PDE3 restrains β 1 -AR, β 2 -AR-mediated inotropic responses in failin...
