Miocene northward expansion of the NE Tibetan Plateau via intracrustal underthrusting: insight from Cenozoic stratigraphy and provenance studies

The India–Eurasia collision and continued convergence caused significant uplift of the Tibetan Plateau and intracontinental deformation. However, how this convergence was accommodated at plateau margins remains debated, with two main models proposed: pure-shear thickening versus...

Persistent Chiral Diradicals via SUMO–LUMO Inversion: Modular Synthesis, Electronic Structures, and Redox‐Switching Properties

ABSTRACT Integrating chirality into organic open‐shell architectures holds immense promise for molecular spintronics and advanced optoelectronics. However, achieving simultaneous chemical persistence, configurational stability, and practical synthetic accessibility remains a form...

Multi-Step Obstruction Reasoning for Target-Oriented Grasp Sequence Generation in Cluttered Scenes

Retrieving target objects in severe clutter requires multi-step reasoning to establish valid obstacle removal sequences. While recent Vision–Language Models (VLMs) have advanced instruction-driven clutter grasping, existing paradigms lack explicit construction of graph-constraine...

RGB-based line segment detection and processing for fabric corner recognition and robotic grasping

Abstract To address the difficulty of deploying complex grasping point detection methods in fabric unfolding and folding tasks for smart homes and automated production lines, this paper presents an RGB-based robotic grasping system for fabric corner recognition, targeting small-...

The unique role of bromine in NaF crystallization of photo-thermo-refractive glass

Photo-thermo-refractive (PTR) glass generates a refractive-index modulation through photothermally induced NaF nanocrystallization, making it essential for volume Bragg gratings. The halide co-dopant determines how silver nanoparticle templates (Ag NPs@AgX, X = Cl, Br, I) steer N...

Dual-Factor Mental Health Profiles Among Rural School Teachers in China: Associations With Sociodemographic, Occupational, Health Behaviors, and Psychosocial Factors

This study aimed to identify heterogeneous profiles of school teachers in rural China and to examine whether these profiles differed across sociodemographic, work-related, health behavior, and psychosocial factors. Participants were 513 teachers from rural schools in Hunan Provin...

Effect of bond performance on flexural crack width of SCBSB concrete beam

Stainless steel-clad bimetallic steel bars (SCBSB) are an attractive choice for durable reinforced concrete (RC) structures in aggressive environments, where controlling crack width is critical to preventing chloride ingress and exploiting the cladding’s corrosion resistance. How...

Coupled characteristics and operational optimization of a high-pressure hydrogen cascade fast refueling system

To reduce energy consumption while maintaining refueling efficiency and thermal safety, this study develops a simulation-driven prediction and optimization framework for a high-pressure hydrogen cascade fast refueling system. A coupled flow-thermal-solid numerical model is establ...

Commercial or relational cues: how information salience in project titles affects crowdfunding performance

Scholars have paid considerable attention to factors that could influence crowdfunding performance. However, whether or how the salience of information in project titles may affect crowdfunding performance remains unknown. To address this research gap, we examine 2,064 startups t...

Noise-Robust Distributed PV Power Prediction with Sampling-Noise Awareness

This paper presents a forecasting strategy for distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems using the echo state network (ESN), aiming to improve forecasting performance with data noise at sampling points of dispersed PV data collection devices. In real-world scenarios, noisy and non-no...

Statistical Methods for Assessing Non-Replicable, Outlying, and Influential Studies

Quantitative evidence synthesis has become a central tool for integrating findings across multiple studies, multi-centre trials, and multi-source cohort data. However, the identification and interpretation of non-replicable, outlying, and influential studies remain insufficiently...

PEDV evades host immunity through reciprocal stabilization of PLP2 and GSDMD-CT

Abstract GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis is a critical component of the host innate immune defense against viral infection. While the pyroptosis-executing N-terminal domain of GSDMD (GSDMD-NT) has been extensively investigated, the role of the C-terminal domain (GSDMD-CT) remains large...

Polypoid manifestations of mucosal prolapse syndrome: a retrospective analysis of 29 cases

This retrospective study evaluated the clinical, endoscopic, and histopathological features of polypoid manifestations of mucosal prolapse syndrome (MPS). Patients diagnosed with polypoid MPS by endoscopic biopsy between December 2016 and May 2025 at two tertiary hospitals in Chi...

ProactiveAudioBench: Evaluating Condition-Driven Responses in Audio Streams

Audio assistants are moving from turn-based question answering toward continuous listening, where they must interpret incoming audio while deciding whether to respond or remain silent. Existing proactive benchmarks emphasize video and audiovisual interaction, while audio-centric...

A foldable small-scale soft electromagnetic robot for multimodal navigation in confined and unstructured environments

Multimodal locomotion is crucial for an animal’s adaptability in unstructured wild environments. Analogously, in the human gastrointestinal tract, characterized by viscoelastic mucus, complex rugae, and narrow openings like the cardia, multimodal locomotion is also essential for...
