Building a Physics-Aware AI Ecosystem for Solid-State Hydrogen Storage Materials

Abstract Hydrogen storage remains a central bottleneck for scalable hydrogen energy systems due to the multiscale and coupled nature of the thermodynamics, kinetics, and microstructural evolution of hydrogen storage materials (HSMs). Although artificial intelligence (AI) has acce...

Qualitative Data Sharing with Care: A Concise Guide

Created by the Materialising Open Research Practices in the Humanities and Social Sciences (MORPHSS) project, this resource offers guidance on how to make decisions around whether and how to share qualitative data in ways that carefully negotiate the needs and requirements of dif...

Properties of Multidimensional Vector Zeckendorf Representations

A generalization of Zeckendorf’s theorem states for integer k≥3, every nonnegative integer has a unique k-Zeckendorf representation as a sum of distinct k-bonacci numbers, where no k consecutive k-bonacci numbers are present in the representation. Anderson and Bicknell Johnson ex...

A live‐cell autophagy reporter reveals reversible vacuolation in naked mole‐rat skin fibroblasts under lysosomal stress

Abstract Naked mole-rats (NMRs, Heterocephalus glaber ) display unusual longevity and resistance to age-related decline, and accumulating evidence suggests that their autophagy–lysosome pathway (ALP) is regulated differently from that of conventional mammalian models. However, mo...

An Energy-GradientStrategy for Triplet-Pair Separationin Singlet-Fission Oligomers

Abstract Singlet fission (SF) offers a pathway to surpass the Shockley–Queisser limit by converting one photoexcited singlet exciton into two triplet excitons. However, in molecular assemblies, this process commonly yields a strongly exchange-coupled correlated triplet pair, 1(TT...

Long-term outcomes of first episode affective psychosis in postpartum women

BACKGROUND: Outcomes of first episode postpartum psychosis and their distinction from outcomes of non-postpartum psychosis are poorly characterised. AIMS: To characterise the disease course and outcomes of first episode postpartum psychosis, compared with first episode non-postpa...

The tradition of washing hands in a common bowl before eating: a qualitative study of the practice of communal bowl hand rinsing before mealtimes, in rural and urban Mali

<title>Abstract</title> Background Diarrhoeal disease is a leading cause of death in children under 5 years old globally, despite being largely preventable. It is widely known that individual handwashing with soap is key in preventing transmission of enteric pathogens. Communal b...

The Effects of Non-Premixed Hydrogen on Soot Formation in an Ethylene-Fuelled Laboratory-Scale Rich-Quench-Lean Combustor

Abstract This work investigates the effects of hydrogen blending on soot formation and flame structure in a laboratory-scale Rich-Quench-Lean (RQL) burner using ethylene-hydrogen mixtures (0-50 vol.% hydrogen) at constant carbon mass flow rate. Laser-induced incandescence and sin...

Adherence to the Eatwell Guide and associations with markers of adiposity: a prospective analysis within the UK Biobank cohort

Abstract Background Obesity remains a major public health concern in the UK, contributing towards increased disease risk and premature mortality. The Eatwell Guide - the UK’s health eating model - is widely applied in policy and practice, yet evidence linking adherence to this di...

Trace-element enrichment in agricultural soils under wastewater-influenced surface-water irrigation: a plot-scale study in an Andean micro-watershed

Abstract The use of wastewater-influenced surface waters for agricultural irrigation is common in many regions, yet its implications for soil geochemistry remain insufficiently characterized, particularly in Andean micro-watersheds. This study evaluates the occurrence and distrib...

Programmable multifunctional microrobots for synergistic cuproptosis-immunotherapy

Abstract Oral microrobots as drug carriers have shown great promise in enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, existing platforms frequently lack the programmable temporal precision required to execute complex, multi-stage dosing regimens. Here, we...

Predicting The Extinction Condition For Gas Turbine Combustors

Abstract Capturing flame blow-off (BO) or extinction limits early in the combustor design process is essential for ensuring reliable performance and reducing development time and cost. This study investigates the applicability of a low-order extinction prediction model based on a...

Global Disparities in the Recreational Fishery Economy: A Systematic Review

Recreational fisheries contribute significantly to global economies through tourism, employment, and ecosystem service valorization. However, a systematic understanding of their economic magnitude and regional disparities remains fragmented. This study conducts a systematic revie...

Resilience and adaptation of cancer screening programs to external crises

Objectives To examine how cancer screening programs resumed during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on their resilience in terms of coordination, communication, recovery, participation rates, catch-up efforts, inequities, and preparedness. Setting Cancer screening programs represe...

Collision dynamics of false-vacuum oscillons

A bstract We study the collision dynamics of localized oscillons in two classes of (1 + 1)-dimensional scalar field theories with metastable false vacua, a normal class with a positive quartic self-interaction term and an inverted class with a negative quartic term. We construct...

Effects of insoluble surfactants on breaking waves: regular and spilling regimes

We investigate the influence of insoluble surfactants on the spatio-temporal evolution of breaking waves, focusing on both regular and spilling regimes. Three-dimensional direct numerical simulations are conducted using an interface-tracking/level-set method that incorporates sur...

John Stewart Turner

Abstract Black and white portrait showing John Stewart Turner, an older man with a receding hairline, wearing thick-framed glasses, a light-colored textured suit jacket, a white shirt, and a light-colored tie with a dotted pattern. He smiles slightly and looks directly forward. B...

In the Wake of Brands: De-Enregisterment and Re-Enregisterment

Abstract Branding is frequently examined as a form of enregisterment. However, for freelance illustrators whose styles contribute (sometimes unintentionally) to such projects, branding also weakens their personal connection to their work. Drawing on a plagiarism feud between an i...

Individualized hybrid electroconvulsive therapy (i-HECT) shows rapid anti-depressant effect in young patients with depression

Abstract Background For young patients with depression, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is highly effective but causes acute cognitive side effects. We designed a new individualized hybrid electroconvulsive therapy (i-HECT) combines ECT with low-charge electrotherapy (LCE) and in...

Bulldozing an immersed granular material in a confined channel

The motion of an immersed granular material in a channel is characterised by complex interactions among the grains, between the grains and the permeating liquid, and between the grains and the channel walls. Here, we develop a reduced-order continuum model for the bulldozing of a...
