Sulfur‐Rich Vitrimers From Oligosulfides and Epoxy Cross‐Linkers With Tunable Mechanical Properties and Adhesive Performance

ABSTRACT Sulfur‐rich vitrimers have attracted increasing interest due to their dynamic covalent networks and potential in sustainable materials. In this work, sulfur‐based vitrimer networks were constructed via a two‐step strategy by combining hydroxyl‐functionalized oligosulfide...

Real-Time Precise Positioning Performance of BDS-3 PPP-B2b: Evaluation and Marine Buoy Application

This study decodes the BDS-3 PPP-B2b binary data broadcast by BDS satellites using a self-developed software decoder, RT-B2b (Real-Time PPP-B2b). The orbit, clock corrections, and differential code biases (DCB)—collectively referred to as State Space Representation (SSR) correcti...

Effects of Alkaline Mineral Complex Water Supplementation in the Diet on the Oxidative Stress, Immunity and Health of Lactating Cows

Mid-lactation represents a critical production phase for high-yield dairy cows, where nutrient imbalance can compromise animal health and farm profitability. This study investigated the effects of dietary alkaline mineral complex (AMC)–water supplementation on milk yield, blood b...

Nutrient Management on Soil Microbiome Dynamics and Plant Health

Soils harbor the most diverse microbial communities on Earth [...]

Verifying the Universal Truth and Its Evolutionary Laws Through the Method of Cultivating Human Body

This manuscript adopts an Eastern, Chinese-style mode of reasoning and narrative. Unlike Version 1, this release excludes laboratory physiological measurements including respiration, oxygen and carbon dioxide metrics, electrocardiography, electroencephalography and brain entropy...

Hygrothermal reconfiguration of radial chemo-mechanical gradients in arc-shaped natural fiber-reinforced bamboo composite for flattening and panel manufacturing

It remains unclear whether hygrothermal softening controls the deformation of bamboo as a natural fiber-reinforced composite by reshaping its radial physicochemical structures and mechanical-gradient heterogeneity. Here, hygrothermally softened arc-shaped bamboo strips were inves...

A Taxonomic Review of the Gall Wasp Genus Saphonecrus Dalla-Torre and Kieffer and other Oak Cynipid Inquilines (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) from Mainland China, with Updated Keys to Eastern Palaearctic and Oriental Species

Weld, 1944 from the USA are discussed.

The Impact of Energy‐Consuming Right Trading Policy on Green Technology Innovation in China

ABSTRACT China is committed to building the energy‐consuming right trading market. In this article, the impact of energy‐consuming right trading policy (ERTP) on green technology innovation (GTI) of Chinese manufacturing industry listed companies is evaluated. The results show th...

Molecular Riveting Stabilizes Wide‐Bandgap Perovskites by Reinforcing Cation‐Octahedron Coupling

ABSTRACT High‐quality wide‐bandgap (WBG) perovskites are essential top‐cell absorbers for perovskite/silicon tandem cells, yet their stability is limited by light‐induced halide phase segregation and defect evolution. Here, we report a molecular riveting strategy that reinforces...

Spatial prediction and drivers of surface soil organic carbon density in subtropical montane forests

Soil organic carbon (SOC) represents the largest terrestrial carbon (C) pool, and even small changes in its stock can exert great influences on regional and global C cycles. Quantifying the spatial distribution of forest SOC and identifying its key drivers are therefore central t...

Beyond Fragmented Science The Taoist Topological Matrix as a Pre‑Modern Unified Framework—Validated Through Somatic Cultivation Phenomenology

Version 1.0: This is a preliminary preprint. The in‑depth theoretical elaboration on transcendental immortality and longevity cultivation is not fully presented here and will be expanded and supplemented in Version 2.0. All historical versions remain publicly accessible for refer...

Transcriptome-informed selection and validation of reference genes for RT-qPCR normalization in Cuphea hookeriana across tissues and under low-temperature stress

Reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is widely used to quantify gene expression, but reliable normalization requires reference genes with stable expression in the species, tissues, and experimental conditions being examined. Cuphea hookeriana is an ornamental shrub wh...

Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Responses to Root and Litter Removal Depend on Experimental and Environmental Context: A Meta-Analysis

Environmental change can alter aboveground and belowground plant inputs, with consequences for soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling and their coupling. However, how soil C and N respond differently to root and litter removal, and which factors regulate these responses, remain...

The dynamic and static mechanical properties of agricultural straw fiber reinforced cement soil and the evolution mechanism of the fiber-matrix interface microstructure

The research on the mechanical properties of agricultural straw fiber modified cement waste soil aims to explore the deficiencies in the mechanical performance of cement soil when using waste soil as raw material and its potential hazards. As a commonly used building material, th...

Four Spices Differentially Modulate Roasted Beef Patty Quality and Fluorescent ALEs Formation via Carbonyl Precursors

The accumulation of dietary advanced lipid oxidation end-products (ALEs) in thermally processed meat products is closely associated with quality deterioration and potential health risks. Spices are widely recognized for both flavoring and antioxidant properties and may therefore...
