Abstract Purpose To evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of anterior intervertebral osteotomy and fusion (AIOF), guided by the inflection point of the uncinate process (IPUP), for the treatment of multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy (MCSM), and to compare these...

I2M: a box-based detection framework for molecular structure recognition from images

Accurate recognition and reconstruction of chemical structures from molecular images is critical in cheminformatics, with applications spanning drug discovery, materials science, and patent analysis. However, much of this chemical matter exists in implicit forms that are not dire...

Research Progress on Thermal Runaway and Thermal Management of Lithium‐Ion Batteries

ABSTRACT Thermal safety remains a critical barrier to the large‐scale deployment of lithium‐ion batteries. This review summarizes recent progress along the full chain from failure onset to system‐level protection. At the single‐cell level, coupled exothermic reactions—SEI decompo...

Spatial-seasonal distribution and ecological risk assessment of multiple herbicides (chloroacetamides, triazines, chlorophenoxy acids, bentazone) and their transformation products in the Yangtze River, China

Abstract Herbicides such as chloroacetamides, chlorophenoxy acids, triazines, and bentazone are widely used in agriculture, contaminating aquatic ecosystems. However, their distribution and ecological risks in the Yangtze River are not clear. Thus, we analyzed 144 surface water s...

TPMS-based hierarchically infilled metamaterials via stress-guided strategy for exceptional thermo-mechanical synergy

Triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) lattice metamaterials, featuring lightweight characteristics, high load-bearing efficiency, and tailorable heat-transfer responses, show great potential for aerospace structures and thermal management systems. A single topology rarely optimi...

Beyond Surface Catalysis: Dynamic Cation‐Regulated Interfacial Water Gating for Aqueous Polysulfide Electrochemistry

ABSTRACT Aqueous sulfur electrochemistry holds great promise for high‐energy density storage but is currently constrained by sluggish redox kinetics and severe polarization. Despite extensive efforts in catalyst design to enhance polysulfide adsorption, kinetic improvements have...

Physics-constrained multi-output cGAN for efficient prediction of triaxial tyre-road contact stresses

Accurate characterization of the triaxial contact stress field at the tyre-road interface is crucial for tyre design and pavement analysis; however, classic measurements and finite-element (FE) simulations are both costly and time-consuming. This paper presents a physically const...

Early-life exposure to polypropylene microplastics and DEHP induces ASD-relevant neurodevelopmental alterations involving mTOR-regulated autophagy impairment

The health risks of polypropylene plastic, a major food-grade polymer, are often underestimated. Current evidence indicates that infants and young children may ingest millions of polypropylene microplastic particles (PP-MPs) daily, accompanied by co-exposure to di(2-ethylhexyl) p...

Investigation of soil arching evolution in piled embankments with three-dimensional trapdoor tests

This study focused on the mobilisation and degradation of three-dimensional soil arching by adopting a matrix trapdoor test device with 144 individually and electrically controlled movable plates to simulate unreinforced piled embankments at different coverage ratios and fill hei...

Extinction-restraint intervention eradicates fear memory encoded in BLA engram cells via D2 receptor-mediated dopaminergic modulation from locus coeruleus

Abstract Despite undergoing exposure therapy, individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) frequently experience relapses when confronted with trauma reminders. This study examined the impact of extinction-restraint intervention (Ext-Res) in a PTSD-related fear relapse...
