ABSTRACT Aim(s) To identify the palliative care needs of individuals with head and neck, lung and oesophageal cancers undergoing radiotherapy and explore the factors associated with these needs. Design This cross‐sectional descriptive study involved a survey. Methods Data were co...

Carbon-based materials coupled with metal oxide semiconductors for hydrogen sensors: linking mechanisms and dimensions

Reliable H 2 detection is essential for hydrogen energy systems, industrial processing, battery safety, and clinical monitoring. Chemiresistive sensors based on metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) are widely used because of their low fabrication cost and facile integration. However,...

Hierarchical operation optimization of reserve storage capacity in pumped-storage power stations for enhanced high-penetration renewable energy accommodation

Pumped-storage power (PSP) stations play a vital role in promoting renewable energy accommodation, yet the operational potential of their reserve storage capacity (RSC) remains insufficiently exploited. This study proposes a hierarchical control framework for RSC in PSP peak-shav...

A Near-FCI Framework for Vibrationally Resolved X-ray Absorption Spectra

Abstract We present a near-full configuration interaction framework based on iterative configuration interaction with selection and second-order perturbation theory (iCIPT2) for simulating vibrationally resolved X-ray absorption spectra. By combining high-fidelity potential energ...

Peptide G3 Suppresses Hyphal Development in Candida albicans by Disrupting β-1,3-Glucan

Abstract The increasing incidence of invasive candidiasis, driven by the hyphal morphology and virulence of Candida albicans (C. albicans), underscores an urgent need for alternative strategies to attack the fungus. In this study, we describe the potent fungistatic activity of th...

Joint inversion of self-potential and active-source electrical data constrained by a Gaussian mixture model prior for detecting water-bearing anomalies in tunnels

Water-bearing fractured zones, dissolution fractures and infilled low resistivity bodies ahead of tunnel faces generally produce low resistivity anomalies and self-potential (SP) volumetric source strength responses. However, the restricted observation space in tunnels and the li...

Coupling Ionic Network Reconstruction With Interfacial Electrostatics Shielding Resolves the Interphase Stability‐Transport Trade‐Off for High‐Temperature Durable Li‐SPAN Batteries

ABSTRACT High‐performance lithium‐sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) batteries require an electrolyte that simultaneously delivers robust lithium metal stability and efficient bulk ionic transport. However, existing electrolyte engineering strategies generally improve interfacia...

Failure wear mechanism and blade width effect of TBM center cutter rotation in water-bearing weakly cemented sandstone

Weakly cemented sandstone (WCS) in western China is rich in clay minerals. Water‑induced softening tends to induce rotation failure of TBM central hobs, which further causes eccentric tip damage and edge chipping and remarkably reduces tunnelling efficiency. Aiming at the poorly...

Aqueous‐Phase Process Accelerates OH Oxidation of Biomass‐Burning PAHs and Generates New Multifunctional Products

Abstract Biomass burning (BB) emits large amounts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and is an important source of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). Recent studies suggest that, compared with gas‐phase oxidation, the oxidation of BB‐emitted organics in atmospheric aqueous...

Pathways and mechanisms for layer-wise regulation during laser powder bed fusion of horizontal overhang structures

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) enables the freeform fabrication of complex metallic components, yet stable support-free forming of horizontal overhang closure structures remains a major challenge because of severe thermal stress accumulation, insufficient transient support, and p...

IL-2-mediated Treg cells recruitment regulates neuroimmune crosstalk to promote hippocampal neurogenesis in depressive mice

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent and debilitating neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by severe neuroinflammation and impaired hippocampal neurogenesis, yet effective clinical treatments remain limited. Accumulating evidence indicates that adaptive immune dysfun...

Metal-phenolic conducting polymer hydrogels for multifunctional cardiac patches and post-infarction myocardial repair

Myocardial infarction (MI) causes irreversible cardiomyocyte loss and adverse ventricular remodeling, yet current cardiac patches remain limited by inadequate bioactivity and poor electrical integration with host myocardium. We report a multifunctional metal–phenolic conducting p...

From local jurisdiction to imperial domain: the making of Ji’an’s salt monopoly under the Imperial Household Department, 1644–1795

Abstract This article uncovers the Imperial Household Department’s holding of salt monopoly permits, a long-overlooked dimension of Qing salt administration, and examines how this practice reshaped salt monopoly operations in regions with chronic tax arrears as well as the depart...

Tandem Interphase Design Achieves Two‐Year Cycling of Aqueous Zinc Metal Batteries Under Extreme Conditions

ABSTRACT The development of aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) is impeded by their limited lifespan, especially at extreme conditions (high current, low temperature etc.), primarily because the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on Zn anode cannot simultaneously balance the sol...

Carbon Precursor-Dependent Si–C Interfacial Reactions and Phase Evolution in Silicon Carbide Synthesis
