Threshold-window framework reveals management-sensitive controls of CH4 and N2O emissions in flooded rice

Rice paddies are major sources of methane (CH 4 ) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O), yet co-managing water and nitrogen (N) to limit both gases remains challenging because emissions arise from non-linear interactions among multiple drivers. We combined a two-year field experiment in subt...

Residual Conditional GAN for Structured Control-Pore-Volume Inversion from Dynamic Production Responses

Rapid inversion of coarse-scale parameters is important for history matching in reduced-order reservoir models, yet conventional methods require repeated simulation and iterative updating. This study proposes a residual conditional generative adversarial network (Res-cGAN) to rec...

TPS10 contributes to linalool emission in rice in response to brown planthopper infestation

Abstract BACKGROUND Terpenoids, a prominent class of herbivore‐induced plant volatiles, play a crucial role in plant responses to insect attacks. However, the precise ecological functions of individual terpene synthases in rice defense mechanisms remain unclear. RESULTS The level...

Freeze–Thaw Durability and Pb Leaching Control of Graphene-Assisted MICP-Stabilized Pb-Contaminated Loess: Coupled Hydro-Environmental and Geotechnical Performance

Freeze–thaw cycling can strongly disturb the pore-water environment, soil fabric, and contaminant mobility of heavy-metal-contaminated loess, thereby threatening the long-term effectiveness of stabilization treatments in seasonally frozen regions. This study investigated the coup...

Hydroxylamine-Enhanced NiFe2O4/H2O2 Fenton-like System for Phenol Degradation at an Initial pH of 7: Performance and Mechanistic Insights

A major limitation hindering the practical application of heterogeneous Fenton-like systems is their inherently slow reaction kinetics, particularly near neutral pH. To address this issue, a hydroxylamine (HA)-enhanced NiFe2O4/H2O2 system was developed for phenol degradation. At...

Effects of groundwater level decline on shallow soil water in grassland open-pit mining areas: Water vapor migration and water sources estimation

Study region The Chenqi Coalfield in the Hulunbuir grassland, a typical semi-arid grassland open-pit mining area in Inner Mongolia, China, where mining has caused severe groundwater level decline. Study focus This study adopted in situ monitoring and hydrogen-oxygen stable isotop...

Preparation of Oil Sludge-Based Activated Carbon Loaded with CuO/Fe2O3 and Its Mechanism in Activating Peroxymonosulfate for p-Nitrophenol Degradation

In this study, oil sludge was utilized as a carbon source to prepare a carbon-based catalyst. By leveraging the oil sludge’s inherent iron content and subsequently introducing exogenous copper, a CuO/Fe2O3/carbon composite material (OSC-0.75Cu) was synthesized for the activation...

Network analysis of frailty, sleep quality, and life satisfaction in older patients: a cross-sectional study stratified by chronic disease burden

Abstract Background Multimorbidity and chronic disease burden are common among older patients and are closely associated with frailty, poor sleep, and reduced subjective well-being. However, total-score-based analyses may obscure item-level interactions across health domains. Thi...

Divergence Problem in Solution of Direct Method for Three-Dimensional Magnetotelluric Forward Modeling

Abstract The direct solver is widely utilized in three-dimensional (3D) magnetotelluric (MT) forward modeling, primarily due to its robustness and ease of implementation. However, divergence issues may arise in the MT direct solution under certain conditions, such as very long pe...

Recent Advances in Interfacial Chemistry for Solid‐State Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

ABSTRACT All‐solid‐state Lithium–sulfur batteries (ASSLSBs) have emerged as a highly promising candidate for next‐generation energy storage systems, featuring a unique combination of earth‐abundant sulfur cathodes, high‐capacity lithium metal anodes, and nonflammable solid‐state...

A federated privacy-preserving framework for osteoporotic fracture risk assessment over multi-source heterogeneous medical data

Osteoporotic fractures impose a heavy clinical and economic burden, yet conventional risk tools such as FRAX rely on narrow feature sets and cohort-specific calibration, while richer cross-hospital data remain locked behind privacy and regulatory walls. We propose ADP-FedRE, a fo...
