Dietary shift from marine to agriculture in coastal Lower Yangtze Delta during Neolithic revealed by isotopic evidence from Jingtoushan

Neolithic agriculture is considered to have reduced marine food reliance among coastal populations, yet whether this dietary transition occurred in Neolithic China remains unclear. The lower Yangtze River Delta, central to both marine adaptation and rice agriculture origins, prov...

Experimental investigation of hydrogen liquefaction performance and ortho-para hydrogen conversion kinetics in a small-scale hydrogen liquefier

Small-scale hydrogen liquefiers are promising for distributed hydrogen storage, but the coupled behavior of liquefaction performance and ortho-para hydrogen conversion requires further experimental investigation. In this study, an experimental small-scale hydrogen liquefaction pl...

Modeling and quantification of beam steering uncertainties in high-pressure laser absorption spectroscopy of non-uniform physical fields

Beam steering induced by refractive index gradients poses a significant challenge for laser absorption spectroscopy in high-pressure, non-uniform combustion environments. This work establishes a physics-based framework to model and quantify beam steering effects on path-integrate...

A Full-Cycle Recycling Strategy for End-of-Life Nanofiltration Membranes toward Lithium Extraction, Implemented by Membrane Cleaning and Targeted Restoration

Abstract Nanofiltration (NF) membranes have garnered extensive implementation for lithium extraction from salt lakes, yet the disposal and management of end-of-life (EOL) membranes after an extended service duration still represent a persistent and intractable challenge, particul...

A Flooding‐Resistant Fluorinated Methacrylate Polymer for Enhanced CO 2 Electroreduction to Ethylene

ABSTRACT The electrochemical reduction of CO 2 to ethylene offers a sustainable approach for the chemical industry and greenhouse gas mitigation. However, the widely used perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) binder is prone to causing catalyst layer flooding due to its excessive hydroph...

Chen, Xiao-Min, Chen, Yu-Hui, Wu, Cheng-Chen, Wang, An-Tai (2015): A new species of the genus Girardia (Tricladida: Dugesiidae) from China. Zoological Systematics 40 (2): 166-178, DOI: 10.11865/zs.20150202, URL: http://zoobank.org/5520163b-0355-4362-9b98-8aa0ae049e4a

High-sensitivity deep shortwave infrared organic photodetectors enabled by selenium-integrated quinoidal molecular semiconductor

Developing organic photodetectors (OPDs) that can detect in deep shortwave infrared (deep-SWIR) region (1.2–1.6 μm) is technologically important. Yet, the performance of the state-of-the-art deep-SWIR OPDs remains substantially limited. Herein, we report a selenium-integrated qui...

Chen, Yu-Hui, Chen, Xiao-Min, Wu, Cheng-Chen, Wang, An-Tai (2015): A new species of the genus Dugesia (Tricladida: Dugesiidae) from China. Zoological Systematics 40 (3): 237-249, DOI: 10.11865/zs.20150301, URL: http://zoobank.org/33f3beb5-b79a-45df-9681-aa5fcb90a3cc

Thermometry-derived quasi-dynamic source modeling for full-course temperature prediction in microwave ablation: A phantom study

Accurate temperature prediction in microwave ablation requires a source model that can reflect the stage-dependent nature of heating. In this study, we developed a thermometry-derived quasi-dynamic effective-SAR framework for full-course temperature prediction. The method estimat...

New species of gallwasps inducing in Quercus fabri and its inquiline (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) in China

Pujade-Villar, Juli, Wang, Yi-Ping, Guo, Rui, Chen, Xue-Xin (2014): New species of gallwasps inducing in Quercus fabri and its inquiline (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) in China. Zoological Systematics 39 (3): 417-423, DOI: 10.11865/zs20140308, URL: http://zoobank.org/7629cd81-d26f-49bc...

Cross-population genome-wide meta-analysis identifies pancreatic cancer susceptibility loci and etiologic pathways

Abstract Background Pancreatic cancer is a fatal malignancy influenced by genetic, metabolic, and lifestyle factors. We aimed to identify susceptibility loci and clarify associated genes, biological pathways, and potential etiologic factors. Methods We performed a cross-populatio...

Stage-specific nanotherapeutics for glaucoma target elevated IOP, impaired aqueous-humor outflow, RGC degeneration, and fibrotic inflammation during postoperative wound healing

Glaucoma is a chronic neurodegenerative disease in which elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), impaired aqueous-humor outflow, retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration, and postoperative fibrosis may coexist or predominate at different stages. Conventional therapies are effective...

Productivity loss associated with type 2 diabetes in China: the trend and projection from 1990 to 2050

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has become increasingly prevalent among young adults in their prime working years. This study aimed to estimate the productivity-adjusted life years (PALYs) loss associated with T2D among working-age Chinese adults from 1990 to 2021, with project...

Disruption of local CTCF binding impairs renin expression and blood pressure response in Dahl salt-sensitive rats

Most genetic variants associated with any complex trait are found in non-coding regions. Multiple studies have reported enrichment in single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) found in specific sequences bound by CCCTCF-binding factor (CTCF). CTCF binds DNA to establish boundaries,...

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of End-Tab Geometry Effects on the Compressive Response of Ultra-Thick CFRP Laminates

Compression testing of ultra-thick carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates requires high loads to be transferred over a limited gripping length, while the stiffness discontinuity at the end-tab termination can initiate unintended local failure. This study examines the ef...

Prediction and analysis of displacement response of submerged floating tunnel under impact loading based on machine learning and SHAP methods

Submerged floating tunnels (SFTs) are prone to accidental impact hazards such as ship anchoring and vessel collisions. Existing displacement prediction methods suffer from limited working condition coverage, ambiguous nonlinear multi-factor coupling mechanisms, and the black-box...
