Convergent use of aminopeptidase N receptor by hedgehog merbecoviruses

Abstract Coronaviruses circulating in wildlife, such as European and Asian hedgehog merbecoviruses (EriCoVs), pose a potential transmission risk. Knowledge of viral receptors can inform risk assessment and development of countermeasures; however, the functional receptor for EriCo...

Dynamic Response and Progressive Failure of Moraine‐Covered Slopes Under Combined Rainfall and Earthquake Loading

ABSTRACT Rainfall and seismic loading are major factors triggering the instability of moraine slopes widely distributed in the mountainous regions of western China. To investigate the dynamic response and failure mechanisms of moraine soil slopes under combined rainfall and seism...

Preview-Aware LSTM-Assisted Predictive Control for Turboshaft Engines Under Tiltrotor Conversion-Flight Power Demand

Conversion flight turns the aerodynamic versatility of a tiltrotor into a demanding propulsion-control problem. As the nacelles rotate and vertical load transfers from the proprotors to the wing, the two turboshaft engines must follow a rapidly changing shaft-power demand while r...

Alignment response time for non-spherical particles in turbulence

Evolution of spheroidal particle orientation in turbulence is a fundamental problem in particle-laden flows. In this study, we introduce a response time for the spheroidal particle orientation in turbulence, representing a time scale for the particle with different initial orient...

Product Carbon Footprint Rules Shape Declared Emissions of Electric Vehicles and Traction Batteries

Abstract Product carbon footprint (PCF) rules are increasingly used in disclosure, subsidies, procurement, and emerging performance requirements, but their interpretation and policy effects depend on accounting-rule design. We compare China’s draft PCF standards for traction batt...

Sequential Ultrasound-Assisted Enzymatic Hydrolysis and Microwave Treatment of Gluten–Starch Complexes: Functionality, Volatile Profiles, In Vitro Immunoreactivity and Interactions

Sequential non-thermal and thermal processing offers a route to jointly adjust the functionality, color/volatile profile and immunoreactivity of gluten-containing systems. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of sequential ultrasound-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis, wheat/rice...

MXene-based interface-engineering electrocatalysts and artificial intelligence-driven strategies for advanced anion exchange membrane water and seawater electrolysis

Green hydrogen production through water electrolysis is a promising pathway for renewable-energy integration and low-carbon development. Among electrolysis technologies, Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis (AEMWE) is attracting increasing attention because it enables alkal...

Joint beamforming and movement design for agentic AI assisted ISAC system

Abstract Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) designs often overlook power amplifier (PA) nonlinearity and user mobility. To address these gaps, we study an ISAC system model incorporating memoryless PA nonlinearity and agent mobility, where agents proactively move toward...

High quality 3D integral compressive light field projection display

We propose a 3D Integral Compressive Light Field (ICLF) display that extends the depth of field (DoF) and suppresses shear artifacts in conventional Integral Imaging systems. Conceptually, ICLF employs a lens array to optically magnify continuous yet physically shallow light fiel...

Prevalence and risk factors of comorbidities among Chinese older people living with HIV/AIDS: a cross-sectional study

With population aging among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), comorbidity has become a prominent challenge for long-term care. However, evidence on its prevalence and associated factors in Chinese community settings remains limited. We conducted a cross-sectional study among P...

From policy-related proxy indicators to scenario space optimization: Carbon-neutrality-oriented emission reduction pathways for the building sector in Shaanxi Province, China

With China's carbon-peaking target being progressively advanced, identifying key emission drivers and feasible reduction pathways in the building sector is essential for supporting the transition toward carbon neutrality. To address the limitations of conventional driver analysis...

Advanced CO2 Capture from Flue Gas by Promoting Amine Solvent Regeneration Using Dual-Functional Graphitized Packing

Abstract Amine-based CO2 capture from flue gas provides a reliable approach for industrial emission reduction, but still suffers from a high energy penalty due to high-temperature regeneration. Catalytic amine solvent regeneration has emerged as an effective strategy to enhance t...

Reshaping China’s Labour Market: AI’s Dual Impacts on Employee Adaptation and Employer Demand

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping labour markets globally, with profound implications for China amid structural fragility, youth unemployment and demographic ageing. This study examines AI’s impacts from a dual-perspective framework: employees’ ad...

Endogenous instability: modeling behavioral, structural, and environmental drivers in the coal-power supply chain

The stability of the coal-power supply chain is vital to energy security but often undermined by overlooked behavioral and structural forces. This paper develops a discrete-time agent-based simulation model incorporating three sector-specific features: the structural feature (cap...

Construction of a Furan-Based Core–Shell APP Flame Retardant for High-Performance Polyurethane Composites

Abstract Polyurethane (PU) with both high flame retardancy and excellent mechanical performance is highly desired for cutting-edge applications. Herein, a novel furan-based core-shell flame retardant was synthesized through in situ formation of a crosslinked furfuryl alcohol-male...

Safety, efficacy and acceptability of human-GenAI single-session exposure-based intervention for academic anxiety: randomized controlled trials

Generative AI (GenAI) may expand access to exposure therapy, a gold-standard anxiety treatment, but its safety, efficacy, and acceptability remain untested. We developed a hybrid human–GenAI single-session exposure program targeting academic anxiety and evaluated it across two ra...

Effect of coupling characteristics between combustor and Helmholtz resonator on thermoacoustic stability

Helmholtz resonator (HR) is widely used to control thermoacoustic instabilities, and its interaction with combustion systems has been studied. However, modal interaction across a range of coupling strengths remains to be discussed. This study introduces a subsystem-based analytic...

Numerical Investigation of LPG Leakage Dispersion and Explosion Consequences in a Spherical Tank with Safety Walls
