A Cu 2 S/NiOOH Heterojunction Enables Highly Selective Ammonia‐to‐Nitrite Electrooxidation at Industrially Relevant Current Densities

ABSTRACT Electrocatalytic ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) offers a green route to nitrite (NO 2 − ) synthesis while coupling hydrogen evolution reaction. However, maintaining NO 2 − selectivity at high current density remains challenging due to the narrow thermodynamic windows f...

HFIP-Assisted Electrochemical Annulation of Enaminones with Phenols for the Selective Synthesis of 7-Aryloxy and 5-Hydroxy Benzofurans

Abstract The electrochemical annulation reactions between enaminones and phenol derivatives have been achieved for the selective synthesis of 7-aryloxy benzofurans and 5-hydroxy benzofurans. With an electron-donating group (EDG), such as alkoxy or amino-functionalized phenols as...

Bridging theory and praxis

Abstract The persistent epistemic divide between translation research and professional practice privileges theoretical knowledge over practitioners’ lived expertise. This study advocates for translation Communities of Practice (CoPs) as a potentially decolonial framework to bridg...

A transformer framework for vessel trajectory prediction in complex maritime scenarios with an original vessel trajectory dataset

In maritime intelligent collision avoidance, accurate multi-step ship trajectory prediction is essential for assessing collision risk and making proactive decisions. Conventional artificial intelligence methods typically rely on low-dimensional kinematic inputs, which often fail...

Three-dimensional woven fabric composites under ballistic impact: A systematic review of multiscale modeling strategies from fiber to structural scale

Three-dimensional woven fabric composites (3DWFCs) provide superior through-thickness reinforcement and delamination resistance under ballistic impact, yet no multiscale modeling framework has achieved broad, independently validated predictive capability across architectures and...
