A Meta-Analytic Review of Gender Difference in Self-esteem in China

Gender difference in self-esteem has been widely studied in psychology. Previous meta-analyses, mostly based on Western samples, found males reported higher self-esteem than females. To examine if there is the same finding in China, we conducted a meta-analysis of 802 studies inv...

Development of Low-Carbon Coatings/Materials and Intelligent Construction Protection Technology

Global urbanization continues to accelerate, driving rapid growth in demand for new buildings and infrastructure, as well as further exacerbating natural resource consumption, ecological degradation, and greenhouse gas emissions [...]

HFEDTI: A DTI Prediction Model Integrating Local–Global Feature Fusion and Weighted Ensemble Learning

Drug–target interaction (DTI) prediction is a critical step in drug discovery, and accurate prediction of potential interactions can significantly accelerate the drug-development process. Although deep-learning approaches have achieved promising performance in DTI prediction, two...

Asymmetric RBBP7 regulates the first cell fate decision of early mammalian embryos

Asymmetric transcription of noncoding RNA LincGET is currently recognized as the earliest event regulating the first cell fate decision in mammalian embryogenesis. However, whether key protein factors modulate this process remains elusive. Here, we identify RBBP7 as the earliest...

Mechanistic insights into the co-pyrolysis of lignin and spent bleaching clay over a Mo-modified carbon catalyst

Lignin pyrolysis is a sustainable pathway for synthesizing high-value alkylphenol chemicals and fuels. In this study, the co-pyrolysis process of lignin and spent bleaching clay was investigated for producing alkylphenols. The effects of different metal-loaded biochars, pyrolysis...

Colossal and ReversibleBarocaloric and Solvent-CaloricEffects in a T C-Adjustable Spin-CrossoverComplex

Abstract Barocaloric effects (BCE) represent an appealing refrigeration technology and have attracted great interest recently. However, most BCE materials still cannot meet real-world refrigeration requirements because of their fixed phase transition temperature TC and the signif...

Coupling LiF Dissolution Chemistry with Solvation Regulation for High-Power and Wide-Temperature Li/CF x Batteries

Abstract Lithium/fluorinated carbon (Li/CFx) batteries are promising for mission-critical power sources, but their practical performance is hindered by solvent-dominated Li+ solvation and insulating LiF accumulation. Herein, 2-fluoro-6-methoxyphenylboronic acid (FMPB) is introduc...

Preparation, microstructure, and performance of ThO 2 -doped tungsten alloy cathodes for high-power lamps

In response to the demand for tungsten (W) cathodes in high-power short-arc lamps, a powder metallurgy-swaging process was employed to fabricate thoriated W alloy rods with a diameter exceeding 30 mm. This approach successfully addressed issues related to the poor sintering perfo...

Photoacoustic viscoelasticity imaging of thin-cap fibroatheromas: Implications for detecting vulnerable plaques

Viscoelasticity is a key mechanical property for assessing the vulnerability of atherosclerotic plaques. In this Letter, we propose photoacoustic viscoelasticity imaging (PAVEI) to provide morphological information on necrotic-core fibroatheromas together with correlative viscoel...

Analysis of factors and heterogeneity affecting injury severity in low-speed electric vehicle crashes involving older drivers

Traffic safety risks of low-speed electric vehicles (LSEVs) among older drivers are a growing concern. Addressing limited existing research, this study investigates injury severity factors and unobserved heterogeneity using 1,346 older-driver LSEV crashes in Zibo, China (2022–202...

Ultra Broad Range Pressure Tunable CaZrO3:Ce3+ Luminescence for Multiparametric Manometry

Optical manometry is essential in diamond anvil cell experiments, motivating pressure-sensitive phosphors that provide robust broadband readouts over a wide pressure range. Here we report a Ce3+-activated CaZrO3 perovskite phosphor with a low dopant level of about 0.40 atom % Ce...

Biobased Fibrous Films Enabling Synergistic Thermal Conduction and Radiative Cooling for Personal Thermal Management

Abstract Personal thermal management materials are increasingly in demand under intensifying outdoor heat exposure and global warming. However, simultaneously achieving efficient radiative cooling, rapid thermal conduction, mechanical flexibility, and sustainability within a simp...

Nonmetallic plasmonic Al-doped W18O49 drives pure CO production from formic acid dehydration

As a vital industrial feedstock, carbon monoxide (CO) is widely employed in pharmaceutical, electronic and fine chemical synthesis, yet its efficient production in high purity remains challenging. Here we report a solar-driven route to high-purity CO from formic acid using a nonm...

Interpersonal Relationships and Problematic Use of the Internet Among Adolescents: Between‐ and Within‐Person Perspectives

INTRODUCTION: Prior research has examined the role of interpersonal relationships in adolescents' problematic use of the internet (PUI). However, studies that examine the distinct contributions of various interpersonal relationships (i.e., with mothers, fathers, teachers, and pee...
