Labile carbon input suppresses Q10 of soil organic carbon decomposition by dynamically lowering microbial activation energy mediated by a shift in microbial metabolic strategy

Understanding the temperature sensitivity (Q 10 ) of soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition, as constrained by the activation energy (E a ) of microbial metabolism, is critical for predicting climate-carbon feedbacks. This study examined how exogenous glucose influences Q 10 in...

Noise‐Resistant Correlated Biphoton Imaging Based on the Superbunching Emission From Single Colloidal Quantum Dots

ABSTRACT Quantum‐correlated techniques enable high‐contrast and super‐resolution imaging through the feature of correlated photons. The superbunching effect with a second‐order correlation larger than 2, i.e., g (2) (0) > 2, demonstrates the existence of strong correlations betwe...

The SIRT1-ΔExon8 transcript is differentially expressed across brain regions and during neural stem cell differentiation in rats

SIRT1 is an NAD+-dependent deacetylase involved in the maintenance and differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs). Although alternative splicing increases the regulatory complexity of SIRT1, its splice isoforms in the rat nervous system remain poorly defined. This study aimed to...

AI in Journalism Education: Curriculum Development and Implementation of Journalism in BRICS Universities

This study employs content analysis and semi-structured in-depth interviews to examine how journalism education across BRICS countries has responded to the rise of AI and adjusted its core paradigms. In this study, BRICS refers to the expanded BRICS grouping, comprising Brazil, R...

Fracture prediction of 5052 aluminum alloy sheet forming using machine learning-calibrated DF-2013 uncoupled ductile fracture criterion

Ductile fracture is the primary failure mode in sheet metal stamping, directly affecting material forming limits and product quality. Accurate prediction of ductile fracture is critical for optimizing stamping process parameters, avoiding crack defects and cutting production cost...

Encapsulated CsPbBr3 quantum dots with asymmetric chiral magneto-optoelectronic responses

Quantum emitters having non-trivial spin polarizations are highly demanded for chiral quantum devices and quantum photonic technologies. Here we investigate the magneto photoluminescence spectroscopy of perovskite quantum dots encapsulated in silica and report an observation of c...

Quantifying the Correlation Between Capacity Utilization and Electrolyte Dosage for Ultrahigh‐Energy‐Density 769 Wh Kg −1 Rechargeable Lithium Metal Batteries

ABSTRACT The pursuit of high‐energy‐density lithium metal batteries requires simultaneous optimization of electrode architecture, electrolyte formulation, and interfacial stability. Here, we establish a fundamental parameter g(σ e , D e ) that quantifies the relationship between...

Towards sustainable transition in OECD economies: the role of green innovation, energy system, governance, and digital consumption in shaping ecological footprint

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate how green innovation, energy system transformation, governance quality, sustainable consumption and digital consumption jointly shape ecological footprints in OECD economies. By using a dynamic panel framework, the study aims to...

Adipocyte-derived β-hydroxybutyrate confers metabolic resilience in multiple myeloma

Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable blood cancer. Obesity is a known risk factor, but how adipocytes promote MM progression is not fully understood. Here, we uncover a metabolic crosstalk between adipocytes and MM cells that promotes MM cell survival under glucose deprivat...

Hierarchical Enzyme Function Prediction Based on Structural Confidence and Active-Site-Aware Attention

Accurate enzyme function prediction is important for protein functional annotation, drug discovery, metabolic-pathway analysis, and synthetic biology. Although recent structure-based methods have improved Enzyme Commission (EC) number prediction, they still have several limitatio...

Learning to Self‐Interfere: Zero‐Shot Deconvolution Enables Replica‐Free, Low‐Coherence Common‐Path Quantitative Phase Microscopy

ABSTRACT Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) enables full‐field, label‐free, and high‐precision quantitative phase imaging (QPI), yet its performance is often limited by speckle noise, parasitic artifacts, and vibration sensitivity resulting from the highly coherent illumination...

Biomimetic Self-AdhesiveArtificial Periosteum withMicro/Nanofibrous Structure Accelerates Bone Reconstruction via SynergisticOsteogenesis and Angiogenesis

Abstract Critical-sized bone defects remain a major clinical challenge, and the periosteum, comprising a highly vascularized outer fibrous layer and an osteogenic inner layer, is crucial for bone repair. Herein, a biomimetic bilayer artificial periosteum (CP-HP) was developed, co...

Machine learning-based identification of blood lipid-related factors associated with COPD among non-smoking women in the Yili region of Xinjiang, China

Abstract Objective Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in non-smoking women, particularly in rural regions, remains poorly understood. This study employed machine learning to identify key associated factors for COPD among never-smoking women in the Yili region of Xinjian...

From synthesis to clinic: a task-specific framework for CT images metal artifact reduction in cervical brachytherapy

Severe metal artifacts in cervical brachytherapy CT scans obscure critical anatomical structures and applicator geometry. Existing metal artifact reduction (MAR) models are inadequate in addressing these complex artifacts, leading to uncertainties in organs at risk (OARs) delinea...

Open-Set Semiconductor Defect Classification in SEM Images via Uncertainty-Aware Local Prototype Alignment

Automated classification of scanning electron microscope (SEM) defects is complicated by acquisition-domain shift, long-tailed classes, and target-only defect types that invalidate the closed-set assumption. We propose an offline open-set adaptation framework that combines a thre...
