Clinical outcomes after cystectomy or unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for seromucinous borderline ovarian tumors: a single-center retrospective cohort study

Seromucinous borderline ovarian tumor (SMBT) is an uncommon subtype of borderline ovarian tumor characterized by Müllerian-type differentiation and frequent coexistence with endometriosis. Because of its rarity, its clinicopathological characteristics and the oncologic and reprod...

Birds of a feather? Local gambling preferences and corporate debt maturity in China

Although debt maturity is central to firms’ operations, how informal institutions such as local gambling preferences shape it remains unclear. Using a sample of A-share listed firms from 2008 to 2023, this paper explores whether and how local gambling preferences shape corporate...

Green gentrification beyond residence: Diverging residential change and park-user restructuring in Shanghai

Green gentrification is commonly understood through residential upgrading and displacement, implicitly treating socio-economic restructuring as a coherent transformation across urban spaces. We challenge this holistic assumption by asking whether residential change around green a...

Shaking table test on accumulation of excess pore water pressure in silty sand ground subjected to repeated liquefaction histories

Silty sand seabed deposits may experience repeated liquefaction during offshore earthquake sequences, posing a threat to marine infrastructure. Modeling tests offer an effective way to reproduce the dynamic response of saturated deposits under seismic loading. Previous shaking ta...

Carbon mitigation potential of metro-based underground urban logistics under operational constraints

Rising urban freight and decarbonization pressures raise an increasingly pressing question: can metros provide green freight mobility without harming passengers? We develop a policy-evaluation framework for metro-based underground logistics (MUL) that integrates multi-task demand...

Thermal-capacity-aware admissible command generation and constrained tracking control for flexible pulverized-coal boiler–turbine units

High renewable penetration is shifting coal-fired units toward deep peak-shaving and automatic generation control (AGC)-like load following, where the key limitation is not only tracking speed but command thermal admissibility. This study proposes a thermal-capacity-aware admissi...

To Greater Twist: A Kinetically Biased π‐Radical Cascade

π-Radical cascades of open-shell graphene fragments-exemplified by phenalenyl and related systems-are emerging as a versatile synthetic tool for constructing complex polycyclic aromatic frameworks. While previous investigations showed that the reaction outcome can be reduced to a...

Real-time hybrid simulation of full-scale tuned mass-damper-inerter for vibration mitigation of floating offshore wind turbines under combined wind and wave loads

Experimental evaluation and validation of vibration mitigation of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) face challenges due to laboratory limitations and scaling issues such as the inherent conflict between Reynolds and Froude similarity criteria, as well as the inherent nonlin...

Petri Nets-based Methods on Automatically Detecting for Concurrency Bugs in Rust Programs

Rust's memory safety guarantees, notably ownership and lifetime systems, have driven its widespread adoption. Concurrency bugs still occur in Rust programs, and existing detection approaches exhibit significant limitations: static analyzers suffer from context insensitivity and h...

Affective Profiles of Figurative Language: Cognitive and Computational Insights

Abstract Figurative language is a powerful means of expressing complex emotions and thoughts. This study examines how different types of figurative language relate to emotion by analyzing metaphors, similes, idioms, and sarcasm with four BERT-based emotion classification models t...

Integrative pan-cancer profiling identifies BRIX1 as a candidate prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target in liver hepatocellular carcinoma

BRIX1 belongs to the Brix domain-containing protein family and participates in ribosomal assembly and in cell growth regulation. Nevertheless, a systematic pan-cancer assessment of BRIX1 expression and its clinical implications in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) remains lac...

Shared-structure sparse identification for parametric reduced-order modelling

Parametric reduced-order modelling plays an important role in engineering applications, where repeated simulations under varying parameters can make direct high-fidelity computation prohibitively expensive. To achieve both computational efficiency and interpretability, one appeal...

EXTREME VALUES OF DERIVATIVES OF DIRICHLET L -FUNCTIONS

Abstract In this paper, we establish lower bounds for extreme values of derivatives of Dirichlet L -functions in the range 1 / 2 < σ < 1 $1/2<\sigma <1$ 1 divided by 2 less than sigma less than 1 . Compared with the work of Aistleitner et al. [‘On large values of L ( σ , χ ) $L(\...

An advanced generative framework for low-carbon urban morphology optimization

Abstract Optimizing urban morphology is pivotal for lowering energy consumption and carbon emissions while supporting sustainable development. However, traditional methods often rely on inefficient post-evaluation, hindering direct, goal-oriented design feedback. This study thus...

High-power tunable laser operation of Ho:YScO 3 crystal at 2.1 µm

We report the Czochralski growth, spectroscopic characterization, and laser performance at 2.1 µm of a Ho:YScO 3 mixed sesquioxide crystal with a doping concentration of 0.4 at.%. Spectroscopic evaluation was performed based on room-temperature absorption and fluorescence measure...

A Neuro-Symbolic Framework for LLM-Driven Task Planning and Execution in Industrial Assembly

This paper proposes a neuro-symbolic framework that combines large language model (LLM)-driven task planning with formal symbolic verification and reactive Behavior Tree execution to support high-precision operations in industrial assembly. While Large Language Models (LLMs) demo...

Different concentrations of atropine in children with high myopia: a 2-year multicenter double-blind, randomized controlled trial

High myopia in children risks irreversible visual impairment, yet optimal interventions remain debated. This multicenter double-blind, randomized-controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect and safety of different atropine eyedrops for myopia control in children with high myopia...

Resilience Evaluation of Urban Tunnel Operations Based on Multi-Source Data and Explainable Artificial Intelligence

As critical nodes in urban transportation networks, the operational resilience of urban tunnels directly affects roadway network efficiency and public safety. Existing studies on tunnel resilience exhibit deficiencies in the attention paid to routine incidents, the interpretabili...
