Humidity‐Powered Flexible Sensors Based on Hygroscopic Groove‐Structured Fabric for Real‐Time Health Monitoring

ABSTRACT The significance of real‐time humidity monitoring for personal health management has spurred substantial research into wearable sensors. However, their development faces a critical challenge in power supply. While moisture‐triggered chemoelectric conversion offers a self...

Christian Spirituality, Social Interaction, and U.S. National Parks: Experiencing God in Communal Activities

Semi-structured interviews were used to evaluate the phenomenon of experiencing God by self-identifying Christians through social interactions during leisure or employment at two U.S. National Parks. Collectively, 36 participants were recruited from three sources and include: 1)...

Annotated genome assemblies of two temperate North American dung beetles, Canthon chalcites and Phanaeus vindex

Dung beetles serve as cultivators of their natural habitats, improving soil health and functions in both natural and anthropogenic environments. Despite their ecological importance, whole genome sequences for Scarabaeinae are limited. Here, we present the draft annotated genome a...

Separation and Recovery of High-Purity Dysprosium from Electric Vehicle Scrap Permanent Magnets Using Cyanex 572, a Cationic Extractant in a Membrane Solvent Extraction Process

Abstract Rare earth elements (REEs), especially heavy rare earth elements such as dysprosium (Dy), have gained immense attention globally due to their widespread use in many state-of-the-art technologies. Consequently, demand for REEs is increasing rapidly in comparison to their...

Individual Differences and Task Complexity in Second Language Writing: A Methodological Review

ABSTRACT This article provides a methodological review of empirical studies on second language (L2) writing and task complexity that have investigated the role of learner individual differences (IDs) in L2 writing processes and outcomes. Thirty journal articles published between...

Digital twin for city traffic emissions using deep vision and real time monitoring

Urban on-road air pollution remains a pervasive threat to public health, yet its management is fundamentally constrained by a lack of spatiotemporal precision in emission inventories. Conventional inventories rely on static, registration-based proxies that fail to capture the hig...

Rewetting pulses, more than soil properties, control nitrogen losses from drought-stressed agroecosystems

Climate change is intensifying drought–rewetting cycles in Mediterranean drylands, yet their interactive effects with soil texture on agricultural trace gas emissions remain poorly understood. We conducted a year-long rainfall manipulation experiment using co-located soils of thr...

Matters of care in transportation: Addressing disabling environments in the movement for care-full transitions

Urban scholars are increasingly calling for greater attention to care, as both a practice and ethic, in response to socio-environmental issues. In the urban transportation literature, care has helped to underscore uneven mobility patterns and the need for inclusive planning frame...
