Quasi-static compression performance of multiphase 3D-printed PLA–PETG interpenetrating TPMS structures

Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) lattices are attractive cellular architectures owing to their smooth, curvature-continuous geometry, high surface-to-volume ratio, and efficient load-bearing behavior. TPMS structures are widely investigated for lightweight and energy-absorp...

Boron Monofluoride Complexes Bearing π‐Expanded Coumarin Subunits: Facile Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Solid‐State Enhanced Emission

Boron-containing compounds have received special interest over the last few years owing to their favorable photophysical characteristics, stimulating their use as fluorescent sensors, in bioimaging and mechanofluorochromic materials. However, their synthesis is often time-consumi...

From surface to deep sea: A depth-resolved vertical profile of microplastics in the Canary Basin

Microplastic (MP) contamination of the open ocean is well documented, yet the vertical structuring of MPs and the role of water masses in shaping deep-water inventories remain poorly resolved along the eastern boundary of the North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre. Here we present a hig...

Digital Transformation, Carbon Disclosure and Firm Performance: The Moderating Role of Green Innovation in European Listed Firms

ABSTRACT In the context of accelerating digital and sustainability transitions, firms increasingly face the strategic challenge of simultaneously enhancing technological capabilities and environmental transparency. This study examines the associations of digital transformation an...

Singular perturbations for superlinear problems in non-reflexive fractional Orlicz–Sobolev spaces

Abstract In this work, we investigate the existence and multiplicity as well as regularity of solutions for a huge class of concave–convex problems involving the fractional upper Phi $\Phi$ Φ -Laplacian operator in non-reflexive setting. The main difficulty arises from the lack o...

Stability of a Degenerate Thermoelastic Equation

This work is dedicated to the study of a linear model arising in a thermoelastic rod of homogeneous material. The system results from a coupling of a heat and a wave equation in the interval ( 0 , 1 ) with Dirichlet boundary conditions at the outer endpoints, where the parabolic...

Novel tools into phytochemical profile, bioinsecticidal properties, and molecular docking analysis of Tunisian Diplotaxis erucoides (L.) DC. subsp. erucoides

This study evaluated the insecticidal effects of Tunisian Diplotaxis erucoides (DXe) against Tribolium confusum . Active substances present in the extracts were identified through UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS/MS. Repellency and mortality were assessed using different concentrations of the...

Ab Initio Investigation of the Electronic Structure and Spectroscopy of LiTe and LiTe+ Including Spin–Orbit Coupling: Prospects for Laser Cooling

Abstract The electronic structure and spectroscopic properties of neutral LiTe and ionic LiTe+ molecules are investigated using high-level ab initio calculations based on the CASSCF/MRCI + Q method, employing the aug-cc-pV5Z basis set for Li and an effective core potential for Te...

Generational changes in lung function in adults from several world regions: results from the Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease study

This study estimated birth cohort effects on lung function using BOLD (Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease) data from 28 569 adults born between 1902 and 1976 across 41 sites in 34 countries. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1 ) and the FEV 1 /FVC...

Epidemiology and mortality predictors of acute poisoning in a Tunisian Emergency Department: a two-year retrospective study

Introduction Acute poisoning is a major public health challenge and a frequent cause of emergency department (ED) admission in Tunisia and North Africa. This study aimed to describe the epidemiological, clinical, and therapeutic characteristics of acute poisoning cases and to ide...

Exploring women’s green entrepreneurship in Tunisia: an ecofeminist perspective

Purpose This study addresses a gap at the intersection of gender, sustainability and entrepreneurship in North Africa by exploring women’s green entrepreneurship in Tunisia. It aims to provide an in-depth understanding of Tunisian women’s experiences by examining their motivation...

Marine‐Derived Type I Collagen From Scyliorhinus canicula : Extraction, Characterization, and Biomedical Applications

ABSTRACT Marine‐derived biomaterials have attracted increasing interest as sustainable and biocompatible alternatives to terrestrial sources. In this study, type I collagen (Coll‐I) was extracted from the skin of Scyliorhinus canicula using an acid‐solubilization method, 7.08% ±...
