Moldavoside ameliorates hypertension and autoantibodies targeting the angiotensin II type 1 receptor-induced endothelial damage via regulation of RhoE/CAV-1/eNOS axis

Globally, more than 100 million patients with resistant hypertension experience severe endothelial damage. Therefore, exploring the mechanisms underlying endothelial damage and developing effective interventions is urgently required. The clinical data and biochemical indicators o...

Atomistic-to-Macroscopic Mechanical Modeling of (HfNbTaZr)B2 High-Entropy Ceramics via a Developed Interatomic Potential

Atomistic investigations of high-entropy diborides (HEBs) are currently hindered by the lack of reliable interatomic potentials. Here, we develop an analytical bond-order potential (ABOP) for the Hf/Nb/Zr/Ta/B system, parameterized via an intelligent global optimization algorithm...

Molecular Gating of the Reactive Water Topological Network for Stable Aqueous Zn Batteries

ABSTRACT The instability of aqueous Zn batteries originates not only from the intrinsic reactivity of water, but also from the continuous hydrogen‐bonded network that enables cooperative interfacial degradation. In conventional aqueous electrolytes, this percolated water network...

Spectral analysis for magnetohydrodynamic channel turbulence at low magnetic Reynolds number

In this study, direct numerical simulations were conducted to investigate turbulent channel flow under the influence of a spanwise magnetic field, at a friction Reynolds number italic Re Subscript tau Baseline equals 180 Re τ = 180 $ \textit{Re}_{\tau } = 180$ and Hartmann number...

Separated liquid-vapor pathways: a hybrid cooling strategy with selective surface modification and jet impingement in open microchannels for enhanced heat transfer

With the rapid development of chip technology and the ever-increasing power density of high performance devices, the demand for efficient thermal management solutions has become increasingly critical. This study demonstrates that, in flow boiling, the “separated liquid-vapor path...

Code-MUE: Measuring Code LLMs’ Uncertainty through Execution-Based Semantic Interaction Graphs

As Code Large Language Models (LLMs) become central to modern software engineering, their inherent stochasticity poses significant real-world risks, where even minor errors can lead to severe functional, security, or safety consequences. Reliable automation, therefore, demands th...

EventSpec: Defining and Detecting Event-Semantic Issues in Blockchain Ecosystems

In recent years, smart contracts have become the backbone of decentralized applications (DApps), and off-chain systems such as bridges, wallets, and indexers rely heavily on event logs to track contract execution and state changes. However, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) does...

Synergistic non-thermal plasma-catalytic reforming of toluene over hierarchical Ni/mHZSM-5 catalysts for efficient syngas production

Biomass tar reforming is generally constrained by the high energy demand of conventional thermal processes because of the chemical stability of aromatic compounds. In this work, dielectric barrier discharge plasma was coupled with hierarchical Ni/mHZSM-5 catalysts for the steam r...

An experimental and numerical study of gas-solid aerosol heat transfer in a turbine blade internal cooling channel with V-shaped ribs

Abstract Atmospheric particulate matter that is inevitably ingested in the internal cooling channels of a turbine blade forms a gas-solid, two-phase aerosol coolant, thereby altering the internal heat transfer and flow resistance characteristics. Experimental investigations into...

Code–Test Co-translation: Towards Practical and Effective Program Migration in the Wild

Program migration, which involves translating software systems from one programming language to another, is essential for modernizing legacy systems and improving maintainability. Recent large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong performance in code translation; howeve...

TrapHunter: Exposing Covert Pathways in Trap Token Contracts

Standardized token contracts (e.g., ERC-20) form the foundation of digital assets. However, attackers increasingly abuse this standardization to disguise malicious trap tokens. Unlike obvious violations, these contracts employ a strategy of "deceptive adherence": they strictly ad...

Layer Dependent Ferroelectricity and Electromechanically Coupled Polarization in Two-Dimensional 1T′-ReS2

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials with sliding ferroelectricity exhibit an enormous potential for next-generation nanodevices. Among these, 1T′-ReS2 with an ultralow symmetry stands out as a pivotal candidate. However, the fundamental scientific mechanis...

DICD-IE: an expert-annotated benchmark for evaluating pretrained biomedical language models in dental implant literature and clinical knowledge extraction

Dental implant literature contains clinically important information on risk factors, treatments, outcomes, and, in rare cases, co-occurrences with oral cancer have been reported. However, this information is typically embedded in concise narrative statements, which complicates au...

Analysis of supercritical CO2 brayton cycle system for laser inertial confinement fusion concept reactors

The large temperature difference between the PbLi and S-CO 2 cooling loops in a laser inertial confinement fusion reactor complicates efficient heat recovery and can degrade the performance of a conventional single-source power-conversion system. To address this issue, this study...

Solid Waste Burning: An Overlooked Atmospheric Source of p -Phenylenediamine Antioxidants and Their Quinones

Abstract N,N′-Disubstituted p-phenylenediamines (PPDs) and their oxidized derivatives (PPD-Qs) are widely used as rubber antioxidants, but their atmospheric sources remain incompletely characterized. Here we systematically investigate solid waste burning as a previously overlooke...

Urban–rural disparities in care deficit among functionally impaired older adults in China: prevalence gaps and shared determinants, 2013–2020
