Post-traumatic growth in people with cancer: A meta-synthesis of qualitative studies

This qualitative meta-synthesis systematically reviewed studies on post-traumatic growth (PTG) in people with cancer. A comprehensive search of nine databases was conducted up to February 2025. Following PRISMA guidelines, the methodological quality of included studies was assess...

GNN-LS: An Information-Enhanced Method for Label Scarcity on Graphs

Label scarcity severely hinders the performance of the node classification task on graphs. To overcome the lack of supervised information provided by labels, some work has attempted to attach a pretext task based on self-supervised learning, aiming to mine intrinsic information f...

Prioritizing sustainable practices for decarbonizing construction SMEs: an actionable roadmap for capability development in developing economies

Purpose As the construction sector strives to meet global climate targets, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in developing economies represent a critical yet often overlooked frontier for decarbonization. Despite their significant role, construction SMEs face barriers suc...

Synergistic influence of geogrid material and bio-inspired geometry on rutting performance

Geogrids are widely used to mitigate rutting in pavements; however, most prior studies have examined the effects of geogrid geometry and material independently. Insights from natural systems, such as spider webs, suggest that these factors can interact synergistically to influenc...

Energy-Time-based Docking-Return Path Planning for Cooperative UAV–UGV Systems in GPS-Denied Environments

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) offer complementary capabilities for long-duration autonomous missions, where UAV recovery by a ground platform can significantly reduce aerial energy consumption. In practical GPS-denied environments, however, s...

Assortment Optimization for the Multinomial Logit Model with Repeated Customer Interactions

This paper presents the multinomial logit model with repeated customer interactions. In each period, the same customer selects a product from the recommended assortment or opts out. From the seller’s perspective, the choice probability in the current period is updated based on th...

Animalizing the political other: Qian Binghe’s caricatures of Yuan Shikai and revolutionary propaganda in early Republican China

This article examines Chinese political caricature in the early 1910s, focusing on Qian Binghe (1879–1944) and his caricatured depictions of Yuan Shikai (1859–1916), the first president of the Republic of China. A staunch revolutionary aligned with Sun Yat-sen, Qian opposed both...

Empowerment or disempowerment: the impact of GenAI use on graduate students' research innovation capability

Purpose This study aims to examine how generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) use influences graduate students' research innovation capacity in the Chinese context, with particular attention to the mediating role of research self-efficacy, the moderating effects of peer suppo...

Advances in applications of chiral biomaterials in bone regeneration

Chirality, a fundamental property of nature, plays a pivotal role in regulating cell fate and promoting tissue regeneration. Owing to their distinctive stereochemical properties and the inherent chiral selectivity of biological systems, chiral biomaterials offer novel strategies...

Structural characteristics of the temporomandibular joint in temporomandibular joint disorder syndrome: a preliminary cross-sectional study based on MRI

Temporomandibular joint disorder syndrome (TMD) is a prevalent oral-maxillofacial condition. The Diagnostic Criteria serve as a widely used diagnostic framework for TMD with high specificity, yet its sensitivity requires further optimization. In contrast, magnetic resonance imagi...

Projectile penetration into corundum rubble ultra‐high performance concrete: Test and meso‐scale simulation

Abstract Aiming to systematically explore the penetration resistance of corundum rubble ultra‐high performance concrete (CR‐UHPC) with varying oblique and attack angles of projectile, firstly, the laboratory‐based penetration tests (175 m/s) of a 105 mm caliber projectile on CR‐U...

p21 Inhibition Rescues Radiation‐Induced Osteogenic Dysfunction and Promotes Bone Regeneration in Osteoradionecrosis of the Jaw via the Rb–Smad2/3–Runx2 Axis

ABSTRACT Background Osteoradionecrosis of the jaw (ORNJ) is a severe radiotherapy complication with unclear molecular drivers. CDKN1A/p21 is upregulated by radiation‐induced DNA damage, but its role in ORNJ remains unknown. Methods An ORNJ mouse model was established. Single‐cell...

Optimal placement of viscous dampers in high-rise buildings using the target-oriented krill herd algorithm with a dynamic search mechanism

Optimal placement of viscous dampers is essential for enhancing the seismic performance of high-rise buildings. In this study, we propose a target-oriented krill herd algorithm with a dynamic search mechanism (DTOKH) to optimize the placement of viscous dampers in high-rise build...

A Comprehensive Assessment Framework for the Sustainable Ecological Carrying Capacity of Chinese Cities Based on Time-Series Uncertainty and Interval-Valued Fermatean Fuzzy Sets

The assessment of sustainable ecological carrying capacity (SECC) serves as a crucial scientific foundation for supporting high-quality urbanization, advancing ecological civilization, and achieving the strategic goals of the “Dual Carbon” initiative. However, existing assessment...

Nonorthogonal Polarization‐Multiplexed and Detachable Diffractive Processors

Polarization multiplexing provides an elegant route for parallel all-optical processing, yet its intrinsic orthogonality fundamentally limits channel capacity and interlayer interaction in diffractive systems. We present a detachable diffractive processor that leverages nonorthog...

DDX3x Regulates NINJ1 Transcription via Histone Lactylation in Sepsis Associated‐Acute Kidney Injury

Sepsis associated-acute kidney injury (SA-AKI), a severe complication of sepsis, is characterized by impaired tubular injury that can ultimately cause renal failure and patient mortality. Both histone and non-histone lactylation and cellular PANoptosis have been implicated in the...

Realization of unconventional staircase topological Anderson phase transitions

Topological Anderson insulators provide a paradigm for disorder-induced topology, in which the underlying system turns from a trivial to a topological phase. It is widely recognized that the latter disappears at large disorder amplitude. Here, and contrary to the general belief,...
