A Phyllostachys Edulis -Derived Microporous Carbon-Coated Separator with Improved Li+ Transport for Long Cycling Lithium–Chalcogenide Batteries

Abstract Lithium–chalcogenide batteries (LCBs) offer high theoretical energy density but suffer from the polysulfide/polyselenide shuttling during charging and discharging processes with conventional polypropylene (PP) separators, causing low active-material utilization and sever...

Joint scheduling of distributed mixed-line high-speed train bogie maintenance: a multi-agent hierarchical deep reinforcement learning approach

Distributed mixed-line reassembly has emerged as a vital paradigm for high-speed train bogie maintenance. However, spatio-temporal heterogeneity complicates the joint scheduling of line assignments, operations and heavy component transportation. Because reassembly and transport c...

Macrophage-to-myofibroblast transition-derived itaconate promotes bone metastasis in lung cancer through targeting of HSPA8

Abstract Lung cancer bone metastasis carries a poor prognosis, yet the metabolic determinants driving tumour–stroma crosstalk remain largely elusive. Despite extensive investigations into itaconate, a prominent immunometabolite implicated in macrophage polarization, the precise m...

Optimisation design of rail profiles for improving wear and RCF performances on a small-radius curve: A case study

Abstract Wear and rolling contact fatigue (RCF) are regarded as two prominent factors that deteriorate the long-term service performances and aggravate the maintenance costs of metro rails on the small-radius curves, therefore an effective countermeasure against which is needed....

Quantitative Morphological Analysis and Indicator Identification in Linear Market Towns of the Chengdu Plain of Western Sichuan

The traditional market towns of the Western Sichuan Plain, known as Changzhen, represent a distinctive form of vernacular settlement shaped by the interplay of geographical conditions, migration history, and socio-economic dynamics. In the context of rural revitalisation and inte...

Multiscale Mechanisms Governing the Performance Evolution of MgO-GGBS-Stone Powder Lightweight Foamed Soil Under CO2 Curing

To facilitate low-carbon construction technologies in subgrade engineering, this study proposes a carbon-sequestering lightweight foamed soil (C-LFS) using an all-solid-waste binder system in which reactive magnesium oxide (MgO), ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), and s...

A Comparison Study on the Dynamic Response of Rectangular and Circular Pile–Slab Retaining Walls Against Rockfall Impact

Abstract Pile–slab retaining wall (PSRW), as an innovative passive protection structure for mitigating rockfalls, has been extensively utilized in the western mountainous regions of China. A typical PSRW is composed of reinforced concrete piles, concrete slabs, and a soil cushion...

Engineering design of cobalt-based biomaterials for advanced cancer theranostics: Multimodal synergy, scalable fabrication, and clinical translation

Despite established modalities such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, cancer treatment remains hindered by off-target toxicity, drug resistance, and adverse effects. Cobalt-Based Biomaterials (Co-BMs) have emerged as versatile nanoplatforms for tumor theranostics, leveraging reve...
