Extending Partition Coefficient Predictions from Key Solvent Systems to Biological and Environmental Systems via Linear Solvation Energy Relationship

Abstract Accurate prediction of equilibrium partition coefficients of organic compounds in biological and environmental media is critical for evaluating their environmental fate and bioaccumulation potential, as well as for guiding drug design and toxicology studies. Linear solva...

Field-Validated Hyperbolic Model Predicts Load Displacement of Untested Grouted Railway Piles

ABSTRACT Current design codes for grouted piles focus exclusively on bearing capacity improvements (β factors) and lack reliable methods for displacement prediction, creating significant risks for settlement-sensitive railway infrastructure. To address this gap, this study propos...

Age-Dependent Heterogeneity Trends in the Associations between Urban Green Space and Cardiovascular Health in a Humid-Subtropical Megacity

Abstract Urban green space (UGS) is a promising nature-based solution for cardiovascular health, yet its associative pathways in pollution-saturated, high-density environments remain contested. We applied a two-stage framework combining gradient boosting decision trees and struct...

Between silence and the state: Victim-survivors’ justice journeys in cases of image-based abuse and sextortion in Bangladesh

Image-based abuse and sextortion are increasingly recognised as serious forms of technology-facilitated sexual violence, yet limited empirical research has examined how victim-survivors navigate justice-seeking in high-stigma contexts. This article examines victim-survivors’ just...

Multi-objective wake steering optimization for monopile offshore wind turbines considering pile-soil interaction

Wake effects reduce downstream wind turbine power output, significantly impacting offshore wind farm performance. While wake steering strategies can mitigate these adverse effects, they also influence the dynamic response and fatigue damage of both upstream and downstream turbine...

A Hybrid Knowledge-Enhanced Legal AI System for Construction Contract Disputes

Abstract With rapid urbanization and expanding infrastructure, construction contract disputes are increasing in volume and complexity, challenging traditional adjudication. This study proposes a domain-specific legal artificial intelligence (AI) system for construction contract d...

Factors Affecting Knowledge Mapping: An Empirical Investigation in the Construction Industry

Abstract Construction firms operate in knowledge-intensive and complex project environments where critical project knowledge is frequently fragmented across teams, documents, and digital systems. This fragmentation limits the systematic capture, structuring, and reuse of knowledg...

Experimental Study on Thermal Protection Performance of an Insulation-dissipation Structure

Abstract Hypersonic vehicles experience sustained and spatially distributed aerodynamic heating usually. For the thermal protection of large-area regions of vehicles,conventional passive systems only delay heat conduction and cannot suppress heat accumulation during prolonged hea...

How can carbon quota pledge financing contribute to the two-stage production and carbon abatement of emission-dependent remanufacturing firms?

Due to the severe environmental pollution problem and the guidance of carbon emission reduction (CER) policies by the government, firms conduct carbon abatement investment (CAI) through different CER paths to realize low carbon production, in which capital constraint may be a sig...

Estimates for Linear Wave Equation with Scale-Invariant Damping

This study is devoted to deriving precise pointwise estimates for the linear Cauchy problem of the wave equation with scale-invariant damping. The proof relies on representing the solution via Fourier integral operators and employing techniques from microlocal analysis. As an app...

Cyclic Deformation Characteristics of Laser-Cladding Additively Manufactured 316L Stainless Steel: An Experimental Evaluation

Abstract Laser cladding (LC) is a 3D printing technology that has been increasingly applied to the repair and strengthening of civil engineering structures. However, research on the cyclic performance of laser-clad materials is currently limited. Therefore, 11 specimens were fabr...

Shearing‐Assisted Interfacial Exfoliation of Graphene Inks for Embodied Intelligence

ABSTRACT Unlike conventional printed electronics, embodied intelligence systems impose simultaneous demands on high electrical conductivity, intrinsic deformability, multimodal responsiveness, and scalable manufacturability to enable seamless integration into wearable human‐machi...

Pressure-gated flexible nanofluidic memristor based on a probe-punctured PDMS membrane

A flexible nanofluidic memristor is demonstrated based on a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane containing a single nanopore formed by probe puncturing and controlled by external pressure. A PDMS prepolymer with a base-to-curing agent ratio of 10:1 is cast and cured into a thin,...

Network-wide multipath progression model for signal coordination using subpath connections

Traffic signal coordination is essential for improving urban traffic efficiency. However, existing network-wide models struggle to handle complex multipath turning flows and intense resource competition. To address this limitation, this paper proposes a multipath progression mode...

Rapid general electromagnetic analysis of metallic surfaces via conformal energy minimization

We recently found that the electromagnetic scattering problem can be solved efficiently using an approach that expresses the fields in terms of a set of orthonormal basis functions. In this paper, we apply computational conformal geometry with the conformal energy minimization (C...

Charge-ResonancePolymerization at Donor–AcceptorInterfaces Enables Large-Area Organic Magnetic Membranes

Abstract Electron acceptors such as tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) and its fluorinated analogue F4TCNQ are foundational to charge-transfer and doping chemistry. At interfaces formed by deposition of these acceptors onto donor substrates, reduced anionic species can naturally coe...

Per- and PolyfluoroalkylSubstances in Pediatric CerebrospinalFluid: Evidence of Central Nervous System Exposure

Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been implicated in neurodevelopmental toxicity, yet direct evidence of their presence within the central nervous system (CNS) of children remains limited. We quantified 12 PFAS in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from 47 p...
