Hot Carrier Trapping in InAs Nanowires for Ultraviolet to Infrared Photodetection

Abstract Semiconducting InAs nanowires are promising building blocks for optoelectronics, but their performance is often complicated by an unusual negative photoconductivity (NPC) originating from surface charge traps. Harnessing the competition between this NPC and conventional...

The Largest Mountain Belt of the Last Billion Years: The East African Orogen, its tectono-topographic evolution and global significance

Hutton's Principle of Uniformitarianism suggests that the present is the key to the past, and in the present, Earth's topography is dominated by the Himalaya. The geological record clearly preserves past mountain ranges, but few have purported to have the effect on Earth's surfac...

How to Do a Laparoscopic Iliac Lymph Node Biopsy Under Indocyanine Green ( ICG ) Guidance

ABSTRACT Isolated abdominal lymphadenopathy can be difficult to diagnose when lesions are inaccessible to percutaneous biopsy. We describe a laparoscopic common iliac lymph node biopsy performed using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence guidance. A 67‐year‐old woman with bilater...

Atomically Dispersed Fe‐Modified SnS for Sn‐Centered Peroxymonosulfate Activation Toward Acetaminophen Degradation

ABSTRACT SnS is a low‐cost and environmentally benign semiconductor for photocatalysis and piezocatalysis, but its direct use for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation remains limited. Here, we develop a facile Fe substitution strategy to construct atomically dispersed Fe‒S in SnS n...

Transition from a fund-based to a lifecycle-oriented EPR system: the evolution of extended producer responsibility for electrical and electronic equipment in China

Abstract The Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system for electrical and electronic equipment in China has evolved from a “fund-based” to a “special fund” model. To transcend conventional end-of-pipe governance, we propose an “EPR 3.0” framework that extends environmental re...

Shamanism as an Analogue Model for Extraterrestrial Communication

This paper proposes shamanic practices as an analogue model for communication with an extraterrestrial intelligence. Drawing on examples of cross-species communication and shamanic embodied signalling, it identifies six signalling principles: rhythm, movement, mimicry, repetition...

Challenges in establishing epidemiological cut-off values for the Burkholderia cepacia complex

ABSTRACT The Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) is comprised of 24 species of gram-negative bacteria that cause opportunistic infections. While antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) has historically been used to guide treatment for BCC infections, recent work highlighting pr...

Optimal exercise dose in adults with chronic low back pain disorders: systematic review with dose-response network meta-analysis

Objective To quantify exercise dose-response relationships and estimate the optimal dose in adults with chronic low back pain disorders (CLBDs). Design Systematic review with random-effects model-based (non-linear) dose-response network meta-analysis. Risk of bias was assessed wi...

Determining the Number of Chronic Subdural Hematoma Potentially Eligible for Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization: A Population-Based Study

BACKGROUND: Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) was recently proven to be an evidence-based adjunct to burr-hole drainage for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). Population-level estimates of patients with CSDH potentially eligible for MMAE are lacking, limiting rational se...

Evanescent Bloch wave framework for water-wave propagation through an array of porous structures

Abstract We present a theoretical framework for water-wave interaction with finite periodic arrays of porous blocks, with emphasis on the effect of dissipation on the complex band diagram of the media. A semi-analytical model based on linear potential-flow theory, coupled with po...

Ngarrawa (mound spring) sediments as archives of Holocene environmental change in arid central Australia: Insights from Itrax XRF scanning

ABSTRACT Central Australia's ngarrawa, or ‘mound springs’, are unique hydrological systems that serve as some of the only near‐permanent sources of water and continuous sediment deposition in Australia's arid interior. As such, they hold significant potential as palaeo‐climate an...

A prognostic model to predict the risk of cesarean delivery after induction of labour: development, validation, and clinical utility

Induction of labour (IoL) is an increasingly common obstetric procedure aimed at artificially stimulating labour. However, cesarean delivery could occur due to various complications associated with the procedure. Evaluating the risk of cesarean delivery after IoL is crucial for m...

Bathing in wine and olive oil: Late Roman agricultural production in the Small Bath at Antiochia ad Cragum, Rough Cilicia

Abstract This article presents a recently discovered multipurpose agricultural processing facility constructed within the Small Bath at Antiochia ad Cragum in Türkiye. We argue that the Bath was transformed for the production of wine and olive oil in Late Antiquity, representing...

Posterior inference of attitude-behaviour relationships using latent class choice models

The link between attitudes and behaviour has been a key topic in choice modelling for two decades, with the widespread application of ever more complex hybrid choice models. This paper proposes a pragmatic and computationally tractable alternative framework for empirically examin...

Manufactured stakeholder voice in global value chain sustainability governance: Toward a conceptual model of astroturfing

Abstract Sustainability governance in global value chains increasingly relies on stakeholder identification and engagement to determine which issues and claims are material and what should be reported, enforced, and managed across dispersed production and consumption networks. Or...

From technical feasibility to institutional misalignment: stakeholder insights into PVC circularity across the value chain

Purpose The global polyvinyl chloride (PVC) market continues to expand, making PVC one of the most widely produced and utilised plastics worldwide. Despite its versatility, a substantial proportion of PVC waste is landfilled, generating significant environmental and public health...

Diet Quality and Weight Gain Among Women in the Aboriginal Family Birthing Program in South Australia

Background: This study assessed diet quality and the association between engagement with nutrition support bundles and weight gain among pregnant women having Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander babies who participated in the Aboriginal Family and Baby Bundles implementation pr...

T7. PLASMA PROTEOMIC SIGNATURES UNDERLYING THE POLYGENIC SCORES OF MAJOR PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS

Background Large-scale genetic studies have substantially advanced our understanding of the genetic architecture of major psychiatric disorders by identifying multiple genetic variants, demonstrating complex polygenicity and revealing strong genetic overlap across these disorders...

How behavioral differences between autistic and nonautistic suspects in forensic interviews affect observers’ evaluations: Evidence for expectancy violations theory but not the double empathy hypothesis.

OBJECTIVE: Despite suggestions that autistic individuals' behavioral characteristics may arouse suspicion and undermine credibility during police and courtroom questioning, specific contributing behaviors have not been identified. We examined whether (a) suspects' figurative lang...

Weakening conjugation of organic cyclic additives towards advanced aqueous zinc-ion batteries

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) offer a safe and economical option for energy storage but face zinc dendrites and parasitic reactions. Here we report 1,3,5-tris(2-hydroxyethyl) isocyanurate (THI) as an electrolyte additive that delivers environment-dependent dual-state protect...
