Attribution and projection of runoff variability in a subtropical monsoon basin under changing environments

Study region The Pearl River Basin is a humid subtropical monsoon basin in southern China and an important water source for South China, including the Pearl River Delta and Hong Kong. Its abundant precipitation, high vegetation coverage, and strong seasonal variability make it a...

How do different serve types influence offensive structures in complex I in elite women’s volleyball?

This study employed Social Network Analysis (SNA) and chi-square tests to investigate the structural variations in the offensive systems of elite women’s volleyball teams when facing different serve types (jump float, jump, and standing serves). The sample comprised 1,434 complet...

Mitochondrial Dyes with Balanced Permeability-Fixability for Live, Fixed, and Expanded Multicellular Imaging

Abstract Mitochondrial inner-membrane ultrastructure plays a central role in cellular metabolism, aging, and cell death. However, super-resolution imaging of mitochondria after fixation remains challenging: commercially available fixable probes often lack sufficient reactivity fo...

Exploitation discouragement: gender differences in entrepreneurial opportunity identification and exploitation intention

Purpose This study aims to examine whether gender dynamics vary across two distinct stages of entrepreneurial decision-making: opportunity identification and exploitation intention. Given the masculine stereotype of entrepreneurship and the socially evaluative nature of the explo...

Machine-Vision-Authenticated Hue-Programmable Bilayer Heterostructures for Anticounterfeiting

Conventional anticounterfeiting based on structural color relies on human vision for authentication, which introduces subjective bias and ambiguity, particularly for individuals with color vision deficiencies. Here, we propose a strategy that overcomes this limitation by integrat...

Aromatic Heterocycle Ligands for Perovskite Photovoltaics: Balancing Defect Passivation and Heterostructure Formation

ABSTRACT Inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) possess great potential for improving efficiency and operating stability, but parasitic charge recombination at the interfaces still limits their performance. As additives and surface treatment agents, ammonium ligands have been rep...

Exact grid-free confidence-region computation from dependent p -value functions under arbitrary dependence

Repeated randomization workflows, such as sample splitting and conformal ensembling, frequently produce multiple dependent valid p-value functions for the same target. Existing p-merging theory guarantees pointwise validity under arbitrary dependence, but confidence-region invers...

Associations of multiple core stability aspects with drop jump performance

Abstract Background Drop jump performance (DJ) is essential for many ball sports. Core stability (CS) contributes to trunk control and lower-limb capacity during jump movements. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationships between multiple CS aspects and DJ pe...

MDFNet: a lightweight multi-stream network tailored for real-time GIS and disaster monitoring applications

Very high-resolution remote sensing image scene classification (RSSC) is a key enabling technology for geographic information systems (GIS) in disaster prevention, emergency response, and recovery. Current methods often suffer from excessive complexity, restricting their capabili...

Conceptions of GenAI-assisted learning among university students with different levels of self-perceived AI literacy: a drawing-based content analysis and epistemic network analysis

As generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) becomes increasingly prevalent in higher education, understanding how students conceptualize its role in learning has become an important issue in AI education research. Existing studies have examined learning outcomes, usage intentio...

A Wearable Multimodal Assistive Interface for Virtual Cursor Control in Stroke Survivors with Upper-Limb Impairment

Stroke survivors with upper-limb impairments often have difficulty using conventional computer interfaces, which limits their ability to perform daily computer-related activities independently. This study developed a wearable multimodal assistive interface that enables computer i...

Genomic predisposition is associated with the direction of sex chromosome evolution

Sex chromosome evolution is among the most dynamic genomic innovations in vertebrates, yet why some lineages evolve XY while others evolve ZW remains unclear. Using chromosome-level genomes from 19 geckos, we found that gecko sex chromosomes originated independently from 16 ances...

Direct experimental test of Feynman’s path integral postulates with single photons

The experimental validation of fundamental thought experiments in quantum mechanics has profoundly advanced quantum science and technology while deepening our understanding of quantum mechanics. However, experimental studies of the path integral formulation, a cornerstone of quan...

Targeting the NR1D1–IGF2BP2–V‐ATPase Axis With Hybrid Nanovesicles Restores Macrophage Rhythms to Reverse Sepsis‐Induced Immunosuppression

ABSTRACT Patients with sepsis exhibit circadian disruption and persistent immunosuppression. However, the molecular mechanisms linking them remain unclear. Integration of multi‐cohort transcriptomic and single‐cell datasets shows that circadian gene dysregulation in patients with...

Trophic transfer and biological effects of azithromycin across a freshwater food chain

Antibiotics in the aquatic environment can bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms and transfer to higher trophic levels. While the direct toxic effects of antibiotics on aquatic organisms have been extensively studied, research on their transfer through aquatic food chains and their...

Observations of groundwater-surface water exchange effects on emerging pollutants in a subtropical catchment

The occurrence of emerging pollutants (EPs) in aquatic environments is a major threat to natural ecosystems and human health, but the connections between EPs in surface water and groundwater have been largely unexplored. Here, a total of 38 EPs, including antibiotics, per- and po...

Spatial Differentiation and Sustainable Development in Urban Housing Choice Among China’s Floating Population: A Geospatial Heterogeneity Perspective

Geospatial heterogeneity plays a critical role in shaping housing tenure among China’s floating population. Using three binary indicators—homeownership, social housing, and informal housing—this study measures migrants’ housing affordability, access to public housing resources, a...

Does Test Duration Matter? Comparing 1‐s and 5‐s Isometric Mid‐Thigh Pull Protocols for Performance Diagnostics in Basketball Players

ABSTRACT To compare kinetic characteristics of a 1‐s isometric mid‐thigh pull (IMTP) protocol with the traditional 5‐s protocol and examine their associations with basketball‐specific performance. Twenty‐five Tier 3 male basketball players performed standardized 1‐s and 5‐s IMTP...

Identification of specific transcripts for plant heat stress tolerance through genome-wide analysis of SIZ1-dependent alternative polyadenylation

Heat stress (HS) has emerged as a significant environmental factor affecting plant growth and agricultural productivity. Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is a crucial co-transcriptional process that regulates developmental processes and stress responses in plants. However, the d...

Occupational identity, competence dimensions, and psychological well-being among Chinese public security personnel: a cross-sectional path analysis

Police personnel are exposed to substantial occupational stress, yet less is known about how occupational identity and different dimensions of occupational competence are associated with psychological well-being. This study examined the direct associations of occupational cogniti...
