Evaluating the role of oxygen adsorption in the detection of local oxygen starvation conditions in proton-exchange membrane fuel cells

One of the key challenges in fuel cell systems control is avoiding local oxygen starvation, which can lead to the degradation of the catalyst layer. Reduced-order model-based control strategies can help to detect this situation and apply corrective measures in terms of working pr...

Anticancer effects of an XPO1 inhibitor (selinexor) with sotorasib following omeprazole preconditioning in KRAS G12C-mutant non-small cell lung cancer cells in vitro and in a mouse tumor xenograft

BACKGROUND: KRAS G12C-mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is currently treated with KRAS G12C covalent inhibitors, such as sotorasib, or RAS (ON) G12-selective inhibitors; however, response rates and progression-free survival remain limited, with recurrence occurri...

HighlyTransparent Layer-by-Layer Nanoassembled MulticomponentFilms of TiO2 and Graphene for Increased PhotocatalyticPerformance

Abstract Here, we report novel highly transparent and photoactive multicomponent films for enhanced photocatalytic applications. Some films are based on intimately interfaced TiO2 nanoparticles and few-layer graphene (FLG) assembled through an environmentally friendly aqueous lay...

Stitched catenary benchmark. PACDIN statement of methods

This paper presents the PACDIN (PAntograph-Catenary Dynamic INteraction) software participating in the latest international benchmark for stitched catenaries. Since its inception in 2014 in collaboration with Patentes Talgo, S.L.U., PACDIN has undergone a significant transformati...

The Pragmatics of Emotion in Artificial Intelligence: Theoretical and Applied Perspectives

This Special Issue of Corpus Pragmatics explores how emotion shapes and is shaped by language in interaction with artificial intelligence.As human communication increasingly involves intelligent systems, emotion emerges as both a linguistic signal and a computational construct.Ba...

Isolated Cu+–O–Ga3+ Pairs as Structural Motifs that Enhance CO2-to-Methanol Conversion

Abstract Isolated dual-atom sites constitute a promising yet largely unexplored strategy for directing reaction intermediates in CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. In this work, we identify isolated Cu+–O–Ga3+ dual-atom motifs and provide a mechanistically consistent interpretation l...

Light-InducedNeuron-Like Bursts

Abstract Aside from recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) models, specialized AI hardware has become increasingly important for processing large volumes of unstructured and dynamically evolving data at the edge. The growing demand for on-device learning calls for dynami...

The common good in business ethics: disentangling a crucial concept

Purpose This paper aims to examine how the notion of the common good has evolved within the social sciences, with a particular focus on its application in business ethics and corporate social responsibility. Although scholars often cite the concept, they frequently use it ambiguo...

Towards Situated Climate Education: Territorial Memory, Climate Justice and Emotional Literacy in Teacher Education (TEJA Model)

Climate change education has expanded in curricular, institutional and media arenas, yet it still faces a central challenge: turning scientific knowledge into educational practices that transform perceptions, decisions and participation. This article argues that the challenge can...

Characterization of Anisotropic Optical Behavior in Phase‐Change Material Sb 2 Se 3

ABSTRACT Phase‐change materials with ultralow optical losses are enabling a new generation of reconfigurable photonic devices. Sb 2 Se 3 has emerged as a leading candidate owing to its negligible optical losses across the visible and infrared, yet how polycrystallinity translates...

Impact of Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 content and particle size on the electrochemical properties and stability of polymer-based solid electrolytes for lithium batteries

This work addresses the current limitations of standard composite solid electrolyte membranes through a systematic optimization of the LATP Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO 4 ) 3 wt fraction and rigorous particle size control via selective milling. By precisely integrating these calibrat...

Skewed Criterion-Weight Distributions for Spatially Regularized Selection of IoT-Enabled Environmental Monitoring Nodes

This work presents a spatially regularized modelling framework for selecting IoT-enabled environmental monitoring nodes within smart-lighting infrastructures. The study does not claim novelty in CRITIC, TOPSIS, mixed-integer programming, or Voronoi tessellation as isolated method...

Empirical Optimization of the Stumpf Method Parameter for Satellite-Derived Bathymetry

Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) based on the Stumpf log-ratio method routinely uses a fixed parameter n = 1000, a convention that has rarely been evaluated systematically. This study assesses empirically how SDB error varies with n across 31 bathymetric scenarios at 18 coastal...

Early Physiological and Gut Microbiota Responses to Dietary Fishmeal Reduction in Mugil cephalus Under Biofloc Technology

The early intestinal response of Mugil cephalus to fishmeal replacement with alternative protein sources under biofloc technology (BFT) was assessed. Juvenile mullet (82.68 ± 0.05 g) were distributed among three dietary treatments with decreasing fishmeal inclusion levels of 15%,...

Field-Scale Evapotranspiration of Flood-Irrigated Rice with Automated METRIC on Google Earth Engine in an Arid Region of Northern Peru

Irrigation water management in arid systems requires spatially distributed estimates of crop evapotranspiration (ET) that fixed crop coefficients cannot provide. The actual ET of flood-irrigated rice (Oryza sativa L.) on the arid northern coast of Peru was mapped with the METRIC...

Developing a numerical method to filter DNS atomization results in aeronautical pressure-swirl injection

Abstract Improving liquid injection by enhancing breakup capabilities is vital to face climate change for industries that still require combustion processes. In this work, a numerical methodology is developed to filter droplet population results in DNS primary atomization simulat...

Uncertainty-aware electrification of university campuses: Matching demand with renewable generation for zero emissions

Urban decarbonization requires robust methodologies to match electrified demand with on-site renewable generation under operational variability. University campuses are particularly well-suited testing environments, as their predominantly daytime demand profiles favor solar photo...
