A defect and multi-physics informed neural network for fatigue life prediction in friction stir welded additive manufacturing AlSi7Mg

Additively manufactured aluminium alloys joined by friction stir welding exhibit great potential for large-scale structural applications, yet their fatigue life prediction remains challenging due to the complex influence of internal defects and process-induced microstructural het...

Enhanced photocatalytic removal of tetracycline hydrochloride and Cu2+ by the integrated CoFe2O4/g-C3N4 composite and rotating magnetic field system

The widespread occurrence of antibiotics and heavy metals in aquatic environments poses significant risks to ecosystems and human health, yet conventional treatment methods often suffer from incomplete mineralization and limited removal efficiency. An integrated CoFe 2 O 4 /g-C 3...

The Influence of Sense of Direction on Egocentric and Allocentric Spatial Reference Frame Representation: An Investigation Utilizing Behavioral and Eye‐Tracking Metrics

ABSTRACT Sense of direction is one of the important factors influencing the egocentric and allocentric reference frame representation in daily wayfinding. Existing behavioral studies have shown a significant correlation between sense of direction and the accuracy of allocentric r...

Bipolar Hot Carrier‐Driven Switchable Photocurrent Polarity in Plasmonic‐Functionalized Phototransistor for All‐Optical‐Configured Neuromorphic Computing

ABSTRACT Photocarrier engineering in semiconductors is critical for developing advanced optoelectronic devices. Plasmonic hot carriers enable effective modulation of the photocarrier behavior in semiconductor systems, yet their full potential is restricted by the exploitation of...

The underestimation bias of the number sense in positive-valence stimuli

Number sense, the ability to rapidly recognize quantities, estimate magnitudes, and infer relationships between numbers, is a fundamental perceptual attribute and is relatively independent of top-down cognitive processing. However, when positive-valence stimuli are presented, whe...

Pt/MnOx/C Catalysts from Electrolytic Manganese Residue and Oil Sludge for VUV Photocatalytic CO Oxidation: Synergistic Bio-Pretreatment and Polyphenol-Mediated Pt Dispersion

The valorization of hazardous industrial wastes into high-performance catalytic materials presents a compelling route to address both environmental pollution and resource scarcity. This work presents a closed-loop strategy for the fabrication of Pt/MnOx/C composite catalysts usin...

The Longitudinal Association Between Shyness and Cognitive Biases Among Rural Chinese Children: A Three-Wave Cross-Lagged Analysis

This study investigated longitudinal relationships between shyness and three types of cognitive biases (i.e., probability judgment bias, cost judgment bias, and threatening interpretation bias) among rural Chinese children. A three-wave design (lasting 12-month) was employed with...

True Triaxial Physical Simulation Experiment on the Fracture Propagation Law of Hydraulic Fracturing for Horizontal Wells in the Roof of Soft and Low-Permeability Coal Seams

The key to exploiting coalbed methane in soft and low-permeability coal seams by deploying horizontal wells in roof strata lies in whether hydraulic fractures can propagate into the coal seam after initiating from the roof. True triaxial physical simulation experiments based on 1...

Biomass-based bionic solar evaporator for high efficiency and cost effective vapor generation

Solar interfacial evaporation is one of the effective methods to address the freshwater crisis, yet challenges remained in developing solar evaporators that possessed excellent light absorption, photothermal conversion performance, evaporation performance, salt resistance, and co...

Closing the opportunity gap: Exploring micro-enterprises' behavioral intention to integrate with digital platforms for a broader agri-food system

Digital agriculture platforms offer marginalized micro-enterprises a vital pathway to bridge the opportunity gap and overcome structural dependencies on focal companies. However, mainstream literature's focal-firm bias leaves the adoption logic of these grassroots operators under...

Bridging leadership competency gaps across different management levels to enable digital transformation in the construction industry

Purpose As the construction industry undergoes digital transformation, the need for adaptive and effective leadership has become increasingly essential. This study aims to investigate the perceived importance and self-assessed performance of leadership competencies across four ma...

Error-based state resolution for reduced-order prediction of particle-temperature distributions in a gas–solid fluidized bed

Particle-temperature monitoring in gas–solid fluidized beds poses an output-resolution problem: a mean removes thermal heterogeneity, whereas retaining all measured temperature detail can make compact prediction unnecessarily complex. This study reanalyzes retained infrared histo...
