On-demand inverse design of metamaterials via denoising diffusion probabilistic models

Abstract The nonlinear and non-unique relationship between unit-cell topology and bandgap properties motivates the development of complementary data-driven approaches for metamaterial inverse design. This work presents a conditional denoising diffusion probabilistic model (DDPM)-...

Interfacial Coordination and Dimensional Confinement Enable Continuous Thin MOF-on-MOF Membranes for Ion Sieving

Abstract Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with crystallographically defined pores and chemically programmable internal structures are attractive candidates for regulating ion transport at the molecular scale. Yet, it is still difficult to grow MOF-on-MOF structures as continuous t...

Improved Variational Mode Decomposition for Magnetotelluric Data Denoising Combined with Transformer Neural Network

Magnetotelluric (MT) transfer-function estimation is severely challenged by strong industrial interference and random noise in complex observation environments. Here, we introduce a hybrid denoising framework that integrates Transformer-based interference identification with part...

Conditional Effectiveness of Night Ventilation During Heatwaves: Nonlinear Interactions Among Event Morphology, Thermal Mass and Operating Strategies

Consecutive warm nights during heatwaves erode the cooling potential of night ventilation (NV), making its effectiveness strongly dependent on both the event and the building conditions. This study quantified the nonlinear effects of heatwave morphology, building thermal mass (TM...

Affine and Cyclotomic Schur Categories

Abstract Using the affine web category introduced in a prequel as a building block, we formulate a diagrammatic $$\Bbbk $$ k -linear monoidal category, the affine Schur category , for any commutative ring $$\Bbbk $$ k . We then formulate the cyclotomic Schur categories . Integral...

Integrated analysis of single-cell and transcriptome data reveals temporal dynamics of microglial phagocytic reprogramming in neuropathic pain progression

Abstract Neuropathic pain (NP) often progresses from acute to chronic, but the mechanisms driving this transition remain unclear. Microglia play a central role in spinal sensitization, yet their functional evolution during pain chronification is poorly understood. Through integra...

Activity Landscape Roughness Anticipates Machine-Learning Reliability Across Environmental Chemistry Endpoints

Abstract Machine learning increasingly supports chemical risk assessment under REACH, TSCA, and OECD QSAR frameworks, but random-split performance can be optimistic for structurally novel chemicals. We ask whether task difficulty can be anticipated before model training. EnvMolBe...

Efficacy and Safety of the First Adalimumab Biosimilar in Chinese Children with Severe Plaque Psoriasis: The PISCES Study, a Multicenter Prospective Study

Adalimumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting tumor necrosis factor-alpha, has been approved for the treatment of severe plaque psoriasis in children aged 4 years and older. Data on its use in the clinical management of pediatric psoriasis in China remains limited. This study is th...

Navigating the Digital Leisure Landscape: The Relationship between Online Gaming, Short Video Consumption, and Marital Satisfaction

Amidst evolving digital leisure habits, research on their impact on marital satisfaction remains limited. This study investigates the mechanisms linking digital leisure (online gaming and short video consumption) to marital satisfaction using a representative sample of 396 Chines...

Cross-Scale Defects Enable Ultralow Lattice Thermal Conductivity and High Thermoelectric Performance in Silver Nanowire-Integrated Bi2Te3/Sb2Te3 Nanoheterojunctions

Decoupling the intrinsically coupled electrical and thermal transport remains a central challenge for achieving high-performance thermoelectrics. Herein, we report a defect-modulated transport-decoupling strategy in anisotropic Bi2Te3/Sb2Te3 (BT/ST) heterojunction nanomaterials w...

A copula-based poisson-mixed multinomial logit model for joint analysis of vessel incident types and fatality counts: Evidence of tail dependence from commercial fishing data

Commercial fishing remains one of the most hazardous occupations worldwide, with high fatality rates and complex incident dynamics, making the joint understanding of incident type and fatality frequency critically important. This study addresses the limitation of conventional app...

A New Method for Optimizing Spinal Canal Cross-Sectional Area During Laminoplasty: Lateral Mass Gutter

Study Design Retrospective Cohort Study. Objective To propose a new technique named “lateral mass gutter” and investigate its role in augmenting spinal canal cross-sectional area (SCA) during laminoplasty. Methods This study included 105 patients who received cervical laminoplast...

Reward-driven mixed and stochastic equilibria for efficient and resilient traffic assignment

Regulators adopt incentive strategies to guide urban travel behavior, but travelers deviate from system-optimal routes due to heterogeneous information access and perceptual biases. Traffic assignment quantifies such regulatory impacts on network flow, yet fixed user equilibrium-...

Evaluating the effectiveness of roadside auditory warnings in tunnel noise: a staged auditory information processing perspective

In tunnels, roadside auditory warnings provide an important safety communication channel for drivers. However, warnings transmitted at the intended volume may not remain clear when reaching drivers. This study examined the effects of broadcast voice, volume, and ambient noise on...

Refining the average µ182W and µ142Nd compositions of the Archean to Proterozoic upper crust

The chemical composition of siliciclastic rocks provided key insights into the chemical composition of the upper continental crust and was suggested to record the onset of modern-style plate tectonics by ∼3.0 Ga. Recent studies aiming to establish the crustal µ 182 W and µ 142 Nd...

The Efficacy of Adjuvant EGFR-TKI Therapy for Stage IA Lung Adenocarcinoma with EGFR Mutations: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Abstract Introduction Surgical resection is the standard for early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), but recurrence remains a risk for patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. The efficacy of adjuvant EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) in stage IA...

A dual GLP-1/GIP agonist inhibits oxidative stress in diabetic rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury by activating the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway

Stroke is the leading cause of disability-affected life years in China, posing a great social hazard. Diabetes is a chronic disease that seriously affects human health that can aggravate cerebral ischemia - reperfusion injury. Oxidative stress is the main mechanism through which...
