Physics‐Guided Transformer Enables Efficient Inverse Design of Terahertz Metasurfaces for Glucose Sensing

ABSTRACT Inverse design of terahertz (THz) metasurfaces via algorithmic models has become a mainstream trend and finds wide application in THz biosensing devices. However, traditional inverse design methods without optimization often rely solely on mathematical correlations, lack...

Highly Thermally Stable and Efficient Ru/ MAFO Catalysts for Glucose Hydrogenolysis to 1,2‐Propylene Glycol

ABSTRACT The catalytic hydrogenolysis of glucose to produce 1,2‐propylene glycol (1,2‐PG) has opened promising avenues for sustainable chemical production. However, traditional Ru‐based catalysts suffer from issues such as high metal loading, poor dispersion, and a tendency to ag...

ROS-Responsive, Water–Oil Biphasic Hydrogel-Based Separable Microneedle System for Intra-Articular Delivery in Osteoarthritis Therapy

Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by a chronic inflammatory microenvironment with excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and progressive cartilage degeneration. To address these challenges, we developed a ROS-responsive, water–oil biphasic separable microneedle patch...

Network-wide multipath progression model for signal coordination using subpath connections

Traffic signal coordination is essential for improving urban traffic efficiency. However, existing network-wide models struggle to handle complex multipath turning flows and intense resource competition. To address this limitation, this paper proposes a multipath progression mode...

Cost Estimation Approaches in Urban Regeneration: A Systematic Review

Urban regeneration has become a primary strategy for addressing the spatial, social, environmental, and economic challenges associated with rapid urbanization. By using the PRISMA framework, this paper provides a systematic review of urban regeneration, focusing on its objectives...

Temporal Multi-Omics Reveals Microbial and Metabolic Succession Following Astilbin Treatment in a Human Colonic Model

Background: Astilbin is a bioactive flavonoid with documented anti-inflammatory properties; however, its sustained interactions with the gut microbiota remain poorly understood. Fecal samples from three healthy donors were pooled and fermented with astilbin in an in vitro human c...

Dynamic Total Cost of Ownership Assessment of Methanol Dual-Fuel Container Ships in the Ningbo–Zhoushan–Valencia Green Shipping Corridor

Green methanol is widely regarded as a technically feasible low-carbon marine fuel for sustainable shipping in the medium term, but its economic viability remains constrained by fuel price and supply-scale uncertainty. This study develops a dynamic total cost of ownership (TCO) m...

Building inclusive learning communities: the collaborative role of parents and school leaders in supporting students with additional needs

Inclusive education is widely endorsed as a policy priority; however, less is known about how school leaders practically enable collaboration with parents to support inclusive schooling. This qualitative study examines how secondary school leaders enact and sustain collaboration...

Waste‐Derived Crayfish‐Shell Biochar for Norfloxacin Removal: Mineral‐Driven Adsorption Mechanisms

ABSTRACT Crayfish–shell waste (CSW) is an abundant aquaculture by–product rich in biogenic minerals; however, the contribution of these inherited mineral phases to antibiotic adsorption remains poorly understood. Herein, pyrolysis–derived crayfish–shell biochar (CSB) was prepared...

Work with or work alone? How AI involvement in healthcare consultations shapes consumer responses to service failure

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into healthcare services, an important question emerges: should AI be deployed to work with humans physicians' or autonomously to provide healthcare services? This research examines how varying levels of AI involveme...
