First Report of Trunk Canker of London Plane Tree Caused by Botryosphaeria dothidea in China
In June 2025, trunk canker symptoms were observed on London plane trees (Platanus × acerifolia (Aiton) Willd.) in green spaces of Kashi City, Xinjiang, China. A survey of more than 1,000 trees at 20 urban green-space sites in Kashi City revealed a disease incidence of 6.0%. Sympt...

Learning to Code with Generative AI: Benefits, Risks, and a Comprehension-First Approach
Abstract: This narrative review examines how generative AI affects programming productivity, novice learning, code reliability, and software-engineering education. AI delivers the most value when students use it to unpack, test, and refine their thinking, rather than just taking...

Optimal control of COVID-19 transmission model with breakthrough infection and immune failure
Abstract To explore the evolutionary characteristics of COVID-19 disease and prevention and control measures after the relaxation of the epidemic, we establish a COVID-19 transmission model with breakthrough infection and immune failure. Firstly, dynamic analysis of the model is...

Triple collaborative asymmetric deep hashing for multi-label image retrieval
Abstract Due to its efficient storage and fast retrieval capabilities, hashing methods have garnered significant attention in image retrieval applications. However, most existing methods rely on semantic similarity matrices to indicate whether two images are similar or not, which...

Application of Grey Relational Analysis in Oil and Gas Resource Exploration
Since its inception in 1982, grey relational analysis (GRA) has evolved from early point relational coefficient models and generalized grey relational analysis models to contemporary complex models integrating multiple methods and robustness assessment. Its research objects have...

At what cost? Governing unity in Tibetan diaspora nationalism
This article examines Tibetan exile politics as a form of long-distance nationalism unfolding within a deterritorialized arena linking homelands, host states, and global solidarity networks. While diasporas are often portrayed as cohesive political actors, Tibetan exile politics...

Hybrid Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube–Nanocellulose Networks as Current-Collector-Free Electrodes
Abstract Hybrid nanoarchitectures that combine structural functionality of nanocellulose (NC) with electrical conductivity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are of growing interest for electroanalytical electrode design. However, CNT:NC hybrid film electrodes reported to date typically...
