ABSTRACT Accurate monitoring of rainfall intensity is essential for forecasting and managing floods. The surveillance video-based rainfall measurement method has potential for high spatial and temporal resolution rainfall monitoring. Existing video-based rainfall estimation model...

Numerical analysis of the fluid flow and heat exchange characteristics in a low-temperature and high-permeability reservoir of a heat storage and heating system

It is a promising energy strategy to utilize a shallow, low-temperature geothermal reservoir for seasonal heat storage and heating, with the potential to meet winter heating needs in decentralized rural buildings. The fluid flow and heat exchange in the reservoir govern the therm...

Regulatory Effects of Bone Morphogenetic Protein‐4 on Tumour Necrosis Factor‐Alpha‐Induced IL‐6 and M‐CSF Expression in Cementoblasts

OBJECTIVE: Orthodontically induced root resorption involves the destruction of cementum, and in severe cases, dentine. Cementoblasts are cells responsible for depositing and mineralizing cementum, and they can also communicate with osteoclasts to indirectly regulate cementum dest...

Birch-Type-Reduced Carbazole Anions Enable Redox-Adaptive Super-Reducing Photocatalysis

Abstract Photocatalytic activation of inert chemical bonds is constrained by the redox potential of the catalyst. Here, we report a redox-adaptive photocatalytic strategy in which an electron-rich carbazole photocatalyst, CBZ6, functions as a molecular redox transformer through t...

A configurational-force-guided intra-element cracking strategy for ECZM-FDEM rock fracture simulation

Crack paths in cohesive-zone-model-based finite-discrete element method (CZM-FDEM) simulations are often constrained by pre-existing element boundaries, while intrinsic cohesive insertion may introduce artificial compliance before fracture activation. This study develops a config...

Systematic review and network meta-analysis of performance of the Sapporo criteria, the Revised Sapporo criteria, and the 2023 ACR/EULAR APS classification criteria for patients with antiphospholipid syndrome: A protocol

Background Antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disorder characterized by recurrent thrombotic events and/or adverse pregnancy outcomes. Although three classification criteria—the 1999 Sapporo criteria, the Revised Sapporo criteria, and the 2023 ACR/EULAR antiphospholipid s...

Electric Double Layer Organization of Proton-Transfer Pathways Regulates Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution

Abstract Constructing bifunctional catalysts with synergistic interfaces is a promising strategy to overcome the sluggish kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media, where interfacial proton transfer plays a critical role in the reaction kinetics. However...

Development and validation of a clinical nomogram to predict prostate cancer in men with gray-zone PSA

This study aimed to develop and validate a novel nomogram for predicting prostate cancer in patients with gray-zone prostate-specific antigen (PSA), thereby reducing unnecessary prostate biopsies. Clinical data were retrospectively collected from patients who underwent prostate b...

Grain Boundary-Confined Lead Halides Mitigate Post-Treatment Surface Lattice Distortion in Wide-Bandgap Perovskites for Efficient Tandem Solar Cells

Abstract Wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted increasing attention due to their essential role in high-efficiency tandem architectures. Post-treatment strategies are commonly employed to improve WBG perovskite films by modifying surface states and enhan...

Spatial Inequality in Urban Functional Systems and Subjective Well-Being: Evidence from Chinese Cities

The spatial allocation of urban functional resources is closely linked to residents’ well-being. However, conventional macro-level approaches that emphasize the equalization of aggregate resource provision may not fully capture inequalities in the spatial distribution of function...

Self‐Assembled Dual‐Drug Nanoparticles for Tumor‐Targeted Delivery and Enhanced Antitumor Chemo‐Immunotherapy

ABSTRACT Insufficient tumor‐targeting accumulation and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) greatly restrict the efficacy of chemo‐immunotherapy. Herein, AWS@PTNC nanoparticles (NPs) are elaborately fabricated via self‐assembly of paclitaxel dimer and serine synthes...

Hierarchy-dependent shear resistance and load sharing in root system reinforced soil: Insights from 3D DEM simulations

This paper investigates the shear reinforcement mechanisms of hierarchical tree root systems using three-dimensional discrete element method (DEM) simulations. A hierarchical root model based on Bischofia javanica was developed, explicitly representing taproots, lateral roots, an...

Structural and Mechanistic Insights Into GSDME Pore Formation and Functional Regulation

ABSTRACT Gasdermin E (GSDME) is a unique member of the gasdermin family linked to deafness, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases, and mediates chemotherapy‐induced pyroptosis; however, its pore‐forming mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, we present cryo‐EM structures of...

Charge-Carrier Behavior and Molecular Interface Engineering in Perovskite Light-Emitting Diodes

Abstract Molecular interface engineering has become increasingly important for improving the efficiency and stability of perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs). Although highly emissive perovskite materials have advanced rapidly, their translation into high-performance devices...

Revealing the diurnal spatiotemporal dynamics and drivers of urban traffic congestion resilience

Urban traffic congestion imposes recurrent stress on urban transport systems and varies substantially across the day. This study conceptualises urban traffic congestion resilience (UTCR) as an hourly proxy state under recurrent congestion conditions and develops an integrated roa...

Satellite altimetry reveals heterogeneity in global flood peak timing and its shifts

Flood peak timing (FloPT) is a key indicator of hydrological responses to climate change. Yet global FloPT assessments is limited by sparse and uneven in-situ discharge observations. Here, we demonstrated the capability of satellite altimetry to estimate FloPT worldwide and prese...
