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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Molecular Segments Reorganization Strategy Coupled With Retrosynthetic Analysis for Designing Sustainable Alternatives to Alkylphenol Ethoxylates

ABSTRACT Alkylphenol ethoxylates is an important fine chemical that has been used in industrial cleaning, textile manufacture, and emulsion polymerization. However, their petrochemical origin and adverse health effects, particularly xeno‐oestrogenic activity, pose a challenge for...

Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analysis Following LmRab11A Knockdown Reveals Its Role in Metabolic Regulation and Molting in Locusta migratoria

Rab proteins are key members of the Ras superfamily that regulate vesicular trafficking in eukaryotic cells, ensuring accurate cargo transport and cellular homeostasis. To investigate the functional role of Rab proteins, RNA interference (RNAi) was employed to silence LmRab11A in...

Design and engineering of layered double hydroxide-based composites for efficient wastewater treatment

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), often referred to as hydrotalcite components, have gained popularity as wastewater treatment solutions due to their distinct lamellar structure, changeable metal arrangement, excellent anion exchange efficiency, and notable memory effect. However...

Development of a teacher-delivered, school-based mental health promotion programme for adolescents in China: a Delphi study

Strengthening social and emotional competencies (SECs) is a promising upstream strategy for adolescent suicide prevention. However, the existing school-based programmes cannot be directly transplanted into the Chinese school environment. It could be attributed to the different ps...

Temperature drift compensation of tunable F-P filter based on dual-attention LSTM model

To address the wavelength temperature drift of tunable F-P filters under dynamic thermal conditions, this study constructs a closed-loop system of “physical perception signal processing feature analysis intelligent inference error correction” and proposes a Dual-Attention LSTM co...

Effect of Ion Chelating Agent on the Ion Corrosion Resistance of Concrete Partially Immersed in Different Salt Solutions

Abstract Concrete partially immersed in saline solutions suffers double damage from salt crystallization and harmful ion corrosion. The ion chelating agent (ICA) can stimulate the production of crystalline products to repair concrete damage and densify its structure. Based on thi...

A survey of contrastive clustering research: algorithms, applications and challenges

Contrastive clustering, which leverages contrastive learning to enhance clustering performance, has made significant progress in recent years. The emergence of numerous diverse and valuable research outcomes highlights the necessity of systematically summarizing and analyzing the...
