Ultralight dark matter halo structures around a noncommutative Euler-Heisenberg black hole spacetime

Cosmological simulations of ultra-massive black-hole configurations in the early universe challenge the idealized assumption of vacuum black-hole solutions. In this respect, we propose noncommutative-smeared Euler-Heisenberg-type black hole solutions embedded in ultralight dark m...

NLRP3 inflammasome activation drives psychological stress-induced TMJOA through chondrocyte pyroptosis

Psychological stress, an increasingly serious social problem, is widely recognized as a contributing factor to temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs). However, whether it could directly cause temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is still unknown. This study aimed to i...

Investigating tunnel seepage erosion and induced structural mechanical response using CFD-DEM-FEM method

Seepage erosion, induced by groundwater infiltrating surrounding soils through cracks between tunnel segments, poses a significant threat to the long-term stability of underground tunnels. However, the evolution of erosion and its influence on tunnel mechanical behavior remain in...

Orbital Hybridization Dominates the Enhanced Polarization Response Arising From Interlayer Coupling in Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene

ABSTRACT Interlayer engineering plays a crucial role in the electronics, electromagnetics, and microwave engineering properties of two‐dimensional materials. However, the lack of clear clarification of the complex coupling mechanisms has become a key bottleneck in guiding further...

sTREM2 and GFAP mediated the association of cerebrospinal fluid GLP-1R with tau pathology in alzheimer’s disease

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is involved in metabolic regulation and has also been implicated in neuroprotection and the modulation of neuroinflammatory processes in the central nervous system. GLP-1R has therefore emerged as a potential therapeutic target for Alzhei...

Temperature-dependent longitudinal-wave acoustoelastic behavior of concrete

The acoustoelastic effect provides a physically grounded basis for evaluating internal stress in structures, but temperature variation can substantially interfere with acoustoelastic stress evaluation in concrete. Nevertheless, the influence of temperature on the acoustoelastic r...

Association between central thyroid hormone dysregulation and chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional study

This cross-sectional study investigated the association between central thyroid hormone resistance and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who have normal peripheral thyroid hormones. The study included 2,759 T2DM patients with normal ser...

A corporate bond pricing model incorporating step-function dividends and credit rating migration

We develop a credit rating migration model with step-function dividend rates. The model incorporates two prescribed thresholds: a credit rating migration boundary and a dividend-rate adjustment boundary, which divide the firm's asset dynamics into three distinct regions. Using a...

Three-Dimensional gelatinous Network-Tailored magnetic Fe3O4@Ag6Si2O7 heterostructures for efficient Visible-Light-Driven water remediation

Severe agglomeration of spherical magnetic photocatalysts can restrict accessible surface area and catalyst recovery. Here, a tailored sol–gel protocol followed by interfacial thiolation was used to construct a three-dimensional gelatinous Fe 3 O 4 @Ag 6 Si 2 O 7 heterostructure...

Joint capacity planning and dynamic allocation for container leasing with asymmetric substitution

Container leasing companies maintain a flexible container pool to meet short-term requests from committed customers and the spot market. However, capacity planning and container allocation are complicated by stochastic demand, container returns, and asymmetric substitution betwee...

Flexural performance of composite pile–wall structures: Experimental investigation and stochastic fiber-beam modelling

Pile–wall integrated structures combine retaining piles with subsequently cast sidewalls to form composite load-bearing components in urban underground construction. Their flexural performance was investigated through four-point bending tests on four quarter-scale specimens and a...

Real-Time Precise Positioning Performance of BDS-3 PPP-B2b: Evaluation and Marine Buoy Application

This study decodes the BDS-3 PPP-B2b binary data broadcast by BDS satellites using a self-developed software decoder, RT-B2b (Real-Time PPP-B2b). The orbit, clock corrections, and differential code biases (DCB)—collectively referred to as State Space Representation (SSR) correcti...

Importance of Energy and Molecular Transport on the Modeling of Explosion Limit and Explosion Behavior of Hydrogen-Oxygen Mixtures

Despite the classical developments and subsequent studies of individual transport mechanisms, many recent explosion-limit simulations still apply homogeneous formulations. Many recent study on explosion limits of reactive mixtures focuses on the usage of homogeneous models that n...

Rethinking the determinants of urban economic resilience: the role of intercity investment network in Chinese cities

Faced with rising urban uncertainties, understanding the drivers of urban economic resilience (UER) has become a critical issue. Rather than focusing solely on internal urban attributes, this study adopts an external perspective and investigates how intercity investment networks...

Physics-guided diffusion models for inverse design of disordered metamaterials

Disordered metamaterials are promising for programming physical properties, yet their inverse design remains challenging due to the non-intuitive structure-property relationships. Recent generative approaches, particularly diffusion models, have shown potential in high-dimensiona...

Biomineralization-Assisted Valorization of Phosphogypsum

Abstract The sustainable management of phosphogypsum (PG), a solid waste generated during phosphate fertilizer production via the wet-process phosphoric acid route, remains a major environmental and resource challenge. Transforming this waste stream into functional resources is a...

A Novel Live Load Survey Approach for Classroom Buildings by Group Intelligence: Methodology and Application

Floor live load is a governing parameter for engineering structures, and its reliable quantification is critical during both the design phase and the structural service life. Although classrooms represent a common building category, research regarding their live load characterist...

High-resolution land cover mapping from coarse labels via a noisy label learning-guided cross-scale framework

High-resolution remote sensing images (HRSIs) provide essential data support for land cover mapping, where deep learning has shown great promise. However, deep learning-based methods rely on abundant high-quality annotations, while low-resolution coarse labels are difficult to us...
