Accelerated Electrolyte Engineering by Deep Learning: A Quaternary Ammonium Additive Enables Ultra-Stable Zinc Anodes

Abstract Currently, achieving long-cycling zinc anodes for aqueous zinc-ion energy storage devices remains a challenge owing to uncontrolled dendritic growth and concurrent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Electrolyte engineering via molecular additives has emerged as an effect...

FGF-23 is associated with increased risk of abdominal aortic calcification

Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is involved in the regulation of phosphate metabolism and has been linked to vascular calcification. However, the genetic association between FGF23 and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) remains unclear. We conducted a bidirectional two-sampl...

Molecular Insights into the Bacterial Membrane Interactions of Proline-Stabilized Graphene: Effects of Proline Oligomerization

Abstract Multidrug-resistant bacterial infections pose a major global health challenge. Graphene nanosheets exhibit promising antibacterial activity through membrane disruption, but their practical application is limited by poor aqueous stability and biocompatibility. A recent st...

A new species of Tyloperla (Plecoptera: Perlidae) from China, with a supplementary description of T. bimaculata Li & Kong, 2020

Tyloperla yintiaolinga sp. nov. is described from Chongqing, China. Additionally, we provide a supplementary description of T. bimaculata Li & Kong, 2020 and diagnostic imagery for clarity. Furthermore, we summarize and discuss the distribution of all Tyloperla species with occur...

How locus of control shapes digital nomads’ subjective well-being: the mediating roles of telepressure, technostress, and boundary control

Abstract Background As digital nomadism becomes an increasingly prevalent form of digital labor, understanding how psychological mechanisms shape well-being under highly autonomous yet weakly institutionalized work conditions is critical. Drawing on the Job Demands–Resources (JD-...

Do good neighbours compensate for bad climate? The case of sessile oak Quercus petraea in phylogenetically distant neighbourhoods

Stressful climates threaten the performance of individuals and the survival of species, but individual performance also depends on biotic interactions with neighbours, so that ‘good' neighbours might in theory compensate for ‘bad' climates. However, what makes a good neighbour, a...

Thermodynamic Drivers of Rapid Transition From Drought to Flood in Siberia, Russia

Abstract Siberia is a warming hotspot under the impact of climate change, and faces growing threats from hydroclimatic extremes. The rapid transition from drought to extreme wet conditions (hereafter RTDFs) could exacerbate compound hazards, as intense rainfall on drought‐weakene...

Synergistic effect of the warm plasma discharge and the flow field on the ammonia/air premixed combustion stabilization near the lean blowout limit

This work investigates the synergistic effect of the warm plasma discharge and the flow field on the ammonia combustion stabilization under different discharge powers and swirl numbers by a novel contribution analysis method that integrates the numerical simulation with a theoret...

CFD analysis of two-phase flow in siphon outlet passage with retaining weir in the low-head pumping station

Abstract The siphon outlet passage is a typical type of discharge passage used in large-scale low-head pumping stations and is widely employed in agricultural irrigation pumping stations. However, its application is limited by the sump water level, preventing some pumping station...

pH-responsive supramolecular vesicles based on a pillar[5]arene–cuminaldehyde inclusion complex with enhanced antibacterial properties
