Interfacial Effects on the Catalytic Performance of Water-Splitting Electrocatalysts

Electrochemical water splitting is a core component of clean and renewable energy technologies. Developing low-cost, highly active electrocatalysts is critical to enabling its large-scale deployment. Interfacial effects, which govern charge-transfer kinetics and the adsorption of...

Mechanisms of Exercise Training in Ameliorating Cognitive Function in Patients With Depression: A Narrative Review of Molecular Targets and Clinical Prescriptions

ABSTRACT Depression is frequently accompanied by core cognitive impairments, notably in executive function and memory. Although the ameliorative effects of exercise training have been widely corroborated, the evidence regarding its underlying mechanisms remains fragmented. To pro...

Fermentation of oilseeds and their by‐products: biotechnological transformations, challenges and future prospects for nutrient enhancement and functional food development

Abstract Oilseed fermentation is a traditional biological process with a long history. In recent years, due to its potential in enhancing nutritional value, reducing anti‐nutritional factors, and generating bioactive compounds, this technology has regained attention. This article...

Two new species of Ziminellia Nihei & de Carvalho from China (Diptera: Muscidae), with new combinations and key to species

During our study of the genus Ziminellia (Diptera, Muscidae) from China, two species are recognized as new to science, Z. quadrangula Xue & Nihei, sp. nov. and Z. yunnanensis Xue & Zhang, sp. nov., and their descriptions, illustration and diagnoses are given. Furthermore, five ne...

Ultrasound-Induced Changes in the Physicochemical and Functional Properties of Whole and Defatted Tiger Nut Flours: Association with Endogenous Lipid Content

Ultrasound treatment can alter the functional properties of flour systems by modifying the organization of starch, protein, lipids, and other matrix components. In this study, whole tiger nut flour (WTF) and defatted tiger nut flour (DTF) were treated with probe ultrasonication a...

Fundamental insight into copper-based zeolite catalysts for NH3-SCR: Two decades’ progress and future perspectives

Amidst tightening mobile-source emission regulations, ammonia selective catalytic reduction remains the dominant post-treatment technology for NO x removal, with copper-exchanged zeolites (Cu-zeolites) serving as benchmark catalysts. Here, we systematically survey zeolite topolog...

Pressure-Induced Phase Transition and Structural Evolution of Single-Crystal CaSnO3 Perovskite

Abstract Calcium stannate (CaSnO3) is a widely used analogue of bridgmanite (MgSiO3), capable of undergoing a pressure-induced perovskite-to-postperovskite phase transition under accessible experimental conditions. In this study, high-quality single-crystal CaSnO3 perovskite was...

Height-threshold-dependent estimates of forest gap characteristics, spatial patterns, and dynamics: Evidence from multi-temporal UAV–LiDAR

Forest gaps record disturbance, regeneration, and canopy structural change, yet estimates of gap closure depend strongly on the height threshold used to define when a gap is considered closed. This issue is particularly relevant for three-dimensional LiDAR analyses, where gap str...

D‐Carbazole‐A Compounds: Modulation of Second‐Order Nonlinear Optical Properties by Substituent Types and Positional Isomerism

ABSTRACT Three‐dimensional materials exhibiting through‐space charge transfer (TSCT) have garnered extensive research interest in the field of nonlinear optics (NLO). In this work, density functional theory (DFT) was employed to systematically investigate a series of donor (D)‐ca...

Altitude-dependent role of nitric acid in iodic acid-iodous acid nucleation: from marine boundary layer catalyst to upper troposphere core component

Abstract. With global sulfur emissions declining and concurrent marine iodine emissions rising, new particle formation (NPF) driven by iodic acid (HIO3) and iodous acid (HIO2) has become critical to global aerosol and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) budget. However, the role of u...

Climatic niche divergence and high‐elevation adaptation promoted rapid diversification of Pimoa spiders in Pan‐Himalaya

The Pan‐Himalayan region harbors exceptional biodiversity, yet the origins and underlying mechanisms driving this remarkable diversity remain poorly understood, especially among species‐rich invertebrates. Pimoa spiders exhibit an intercontinental disjunct distribution across thr...
