A Context-Aware Adaptive Reasoning Framework for Dynamic Industrial Embodied Intelligence Systems

In modern industrial settings, flexible production pipelines are increasingly essential to accommodate customized products and small-batch orders under dynamic operational conditions. Traditional execution and reasoning pipelines deployed at edge nodes typically rely on fixed top...

Explainable data generation from observed small samples by matrix tri-factorization

Data generation on small samples has exhibited great potential on real-world biomedical scenarios, especially on extreme cases such as early-stage or emerging biomedical conditions (e.g. Patient Zero of a brand-new disease with only one sample) because of insufficient sample info...

Industrial robot adoption and marriage market transformation: evidence from China

This paper examines whether industrial robot adoption affects marriage formation in China. Using micro-level data from the China Family Panel Studies for 2010–2020 matched with a city-level measure of robot exposure, we find that greater robot exposure significantly reduces the p...

Phased Planning of Expressway EV Charging Infrastructure: A Data-Driven Systems Approach Considering Spatial Heterogeneity and Peak Demand

Planning charging facilities at expressway service areas requires joint consideration of traffic growth, charging behavior, temporal demand peaks, charger technology, existing equipment, and local power-supply capacity. However, existing planning approaches rarely integrate spati...

Percolation transition of K -destinations reveals universal backbone of urban mobility networks

Abstract Cities are held together by a small subset of recurrent origin–destination ties, but extracting this backbone from noisy mobility data remains difficult, and most models still prioritize distance over connectivity. We build directed mobility networks from 48 months of mo...

Antibacterial Cyclic Oligo(disulfide)s with Tunable Hydrophilicity Dictate Membrane Interactions and Distinct Metabolic Interference

Abstract To combat drug-resistant bacteria, antimicrobial agents with tunable and multi-modal mechanisms are urgently needed. While membrane-disrupting polymers have been widely explored, precisely regulating their membrane interactions and downstream metabolic effects remains ch...

High-capillarity limit and smoothing effect of large solutions for a multi-dimensional generic non-conservative compressible two-fluid model

Abstract We investigate the global existence and long-time behaviour of large solutions in the high-capillarity regime for a general multidimensional non-conservative compressible two-fluid model with the capillary pressure relation f ( α − ρ − ) = P + − P − . Our main contributi...

Na2S Enhancement of Pyrrhotite/Sulfur Fixed Bed Reactors: Synergistic Denitrification Mechanism and Microbial Community Restructuring for Low-Alkalinity Advanced Nitrogen Removal

Advanced nitrogen removal from secondary effluent of municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) faces substantial technical challenges. This study investigated the denitrification performance and underlying mechanisms of a pyrrhotite/sulfur-coupled autotrophic denitrifying bio...

A longitudinal study on differential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and normalized prevention and control on overweight and obese adolescents in China

Abstract Objective To investigate the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and its normalized prevention and control phase on the body mass index (BMI) and prevalence of overweight and obesity among adolescents aged 13–18 years in China, providing a basis fo...

Pseudo-Core/Shell Latex Particles Constructed via Soft/Hard Segment Phase Separation for High-Performance Si/C Anodes

Abstract Silicon-based anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) currently suffer from structural collapse and capacity decay caused by drastic volume expansion in silicon particles. To address this issue, a binder that exhibits strong interfacial interactions and suitable mechanica...

Multifunctional Hydrogel Based on Synergistic Hydrophobic and Multivalent Hydrogen-Bond Interactions

Abstract Developing soft materials that integrate high mechanical performance, self-healing, adhesion, and stimulus-responsive functions remains challenging due to the trade-off between dynamic reversibility and mechanical resilience. Here, we report a P(AA-MA-OA-FHMA) hydrogel f...

Durability of CO 2 mineralized materials and products

This review provides an overview of the durability performance of CO2 mineralized cementitious materials. Most recent research emphasized the importance of post-hydration following carbonation to ensure better durability performance. Mineral carbonation generally reduces chloride...

Real-time conductivity monitoring of industrial lubricating oils using an interdigital electrode sensor

Purpose To effectively monitor quality of lubricating oil, the purpose of this paper is to design a novel conductivity sensor with interdigital electrode (IDE sensor), which can accurately and stably monitor conductivity of lubricating oil. Design/methodology/approach A reliable...

A single-cell-informed framework maps context-dependent myeloid damage-response states across cancers

Tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells occupy heterogeneous functional states that are not adequately represented by macrophage abundance or fixed polarization labels. We developed the myeloid damage response index (MDRi), a single-cell-informed framework comprising injury, resolution...

Copper binding heterogeneity of pH-fractionated soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) revealed by multi-spectroscopy and two-dimensional correlation analysis

Soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a pivotal role in governing the environmental behavior and fate of metal ions. The inherent heterogeneity of DOM, however, leads to complex and poorly understood interactions with heavy metals. In this study, soil DOM was fractionated int...

Decoupled Synthesis Pathway via Precursor Functionalization Stabilizes High‐Voltage Nickel‐Based Cathodes

ABSTRACT Nickel‐based layered cathodes are promising candidates for high‐performance, high‐energy lithium‐ion batteries, yet their high‐voltage application is jointly limited by synthesis‐inherited structural defects and an unstable lattice oxygen framework. Here, we show that bo...

Regulating H‐Aggregation via a Thiazole‐Modified Acceptor‐Based Packing Reshaper Toward Highly Efficient and Stable Organic Solar Cells

ABSTRACT Organic solar cells (OSCs) based on non‐fullerene acceptors have achieved power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) exceeding 20%. However, their long‐term stability remains limited by uncontrolled molecular aggregation and morphological degradation in bulk heterojunction (BH...

Coupling metabolic reprogramming with sacrificial cell lysis: multi-omics insights into an ascorbic acid-associated Se(IV) reduction and extrusion hypothesis in Lactiplantibacillus plantarum

Mechanisms supporting microbial survival under lethal selenite [Se(IV)] concentrations during bioremediation remain elusive. This study employed integrated multi-omics to analyze Lactiplantibacillus plantarum BSe (LPB) under extreme Se(IV) stress. LPB achieved 76.32% removal at 1...
