Isotopic Engineering of Water Reactivity for Stable Aqueous Iron‐Metal Batteries

ABSTRACT The development of aqueous iron‐metal batteries (AIBs) is critically hindered by the severe parasitic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at the anodes and the resulting structural degradation of the cathode. Moving beyond conventional additive‐based approaches, this work...

Surface morphology, printing accuracy and flexural strength of 3D-printed zirconia posts with longitudinal microgrooves

Postcore restoration is essential for compromised teeth. Zirconia is a promising material due to its esthetics, strength, and radiopacity. Additive manufacturing, particularly advanced customized jetting (ACJ) technology, enables the fabrication of complex microstructures on zirc...

Comprehensive genomic characterization of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from neonates: multiple center insights into virulence, resistance, and transmission dynamics

Neonatal extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC), which can cause severe long-term sequelae by systemic infections, is gradually becoming the primary pathogen threatening neonatal health. The lack of large-scale genomic epidemiological investigation hinders further un...

METTL14-dependent N6-methyladenosine modification of FGF16 participates in IGFBP5 deficiency-enhanced angiogenesis.

A-FGF16 axis may offer novel therapeutic strategies for ischemic disease.

Value maximization under present-biased preferences

Abstract We examine a value-maximizing problem involving present-biased behavior, a prevalent and empirically observed psychological phenomenon, in a firm’s strategic decisions on earnings retention, payout, and capital injections. By modeling present-biased preferences using sto...

Experimental and computational investigation of collagen modification in skin chromatic alterations

Skin darkening and yellowing are significant concerns associated with aging, particularly among Asian women. Skin sallowness in aging is influenced by factors such as melanin deposition, dermal glycation, and carbonylation, which alter skin’s optical properties. However, the mech...

The influence of self-supporting personality on social anxiety in college students: the serial-mediating roles of attention bias and social problem-solving orientation

Social anxiety is highly prevalent among college students and is associated with impaired academic functioning and long-term social maladjustment. Although prior research has documented the adaptive value of self-supporting personality, the specific cognitive-behavioral mechanism...

METTL14-dependent N6-methyladenosine modification of FGF16 participates in IGFBP5 deficiency-enhanced angiogenesis

Abstract N 6 -methyladenosine (m 6 A) RNA modification plays critical roles in physiological and pathological processes. Our prior study demonstrated that IGFBP5 expression is upregulated in the ischemic limb, whereas endothelial-specific IGFBP5 knockout (Igfbp5 EKO ) protects ag...

Optimising LoRA for fine-tuning lightweight LLM expert agents in cross-regional collaboration in the construction industry: Evidence from the Greater Bay Area

Abstract Under the “One Country, Two Systems, Three Legal Jurisdictions” framework, cross-regional collaboration in the construction industry of the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) is more complex than other urban agglomerations, and this makes traditional method...

Gliomas grading prediction using multicenter 3T Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Abstract Background Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) is a non-invasive imaging technique that detects various metabolites in brain tissues, making it essential for the grading of brain gliomas. MRS measures key metabolites such as N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA), choline (Cho), and...
