On Euler’s observation and Ericksen’s class of controllable deformations in isotropic incompressible elasticity including conservative body forces

Conservative body force loads are special in homogeneous incompressible finite elasticity since they do not change the displacement solution (Euler 1757). According to Euler they change only the pressure reaction solution. This has several interesting theoretical and numerical im...

Eine Auswertung der Publikationsprofile von auf VWL-Professuren Berufenen in Deutschland

Zusammenfassung Kathrin Stock, Peter Tillmann und Andreas Walter analysieren die Publikationsprofile von Volkswirtinnen und Volkswirten, die an deutschen Universitäten auf Professuren berufen worden sind, die zwischen 2014 und 2022 ausgeschrieben waren. Basierend auf Publikations...

Financing the Circular Transition Under Compound Risk: Public Capital Allocation Between Civil Protection and the Digital Circular Economy in Lithuania

Industry 5.0 frames digital and circular investment as a capital-allocation problem under risk. This study examines how a small open economy allocates limited public capital between two demands. The first is civil protection against hybrid and military threats. The second is the...

Approaches for GSLS based nearly constant- Q viscoacoustic wave equations and its application in reverse time migration calculated by finite-difference method

Abstract Seismic waves are attenuated and distorted during the propagation. The amplitude attenuation can decrease the energy of the wavefields, and dispersion effect distort the phase of seismic waves, thereby degrading the imaging resolution. In nearly constant-Q reverse time m...

Plant growth-promoting bacteria enhance growth and drought resilience in tomato by reprogramming photosynthesis, antioxidant defence, and gene responses

Drought stress is a major constraint on crop productivity, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions where water limitation disrupts photosynthesis, antioxidant balance, and core physiological processes. Here, we isolated three plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) from hypersa...

Successful treatment of an aggressive vertebral haemangioma with radiofrequency ablation and laminectomy: a case report

Background and Importance Aggressive vertebral haemangiomas are rare, hypervascular spinal tumours that can extend beyond the vertebral body, causing spinal cord compression and neurological deficits. These lesions are particularly challenging to manage due to high intraoperative...

Ultrafast In-Plane Photo-Dember Ring at Buried Semiconductor Heterointerfaces Visualized by Scanning Ultrafast Electron Microscopy

Abstract The ultrafast transport dynamics of photogenerated carriers at buried semiconductor heterointerfaces govern the operation of modern optoelectronic devices, yet direct real-space visualization of in-plane carrier motion at such interfaces has remained an outstanding exper...

PIEZO1 Is a Contextual Mechanosensor and Its Depletion in Scx‐Lineage Cells Accelerates Structural and Functional Recovery

ABSTRACT Previous work has identified PIEZO1 as an important mechanosensor in homeostatic tendon, where it detects mechanical overload and regulates tissue adaptation. Here, we investigated the consequences of PIEZO1 depletion during tendon healing using a full‐thickness central‐...

Cross-cultural adaptation of the Athlete Diet Index, a web-based dietary assessment tool for athletes

Background The literature suggests that many athletes fail to meet health and sport-specific dietary recommendations which may negatively impact their overall health and performance. Moreover, completing a proper assessment of an athlete's diet is complex; the quality and validit...

Dynamic operation of a hybrid air-driven concentrating solar thermal system based on rotary receiver and radial thermocline

Air-driven concentrating solar thermal (CST) systems can supply heat up to 800 °C for supercritical CO 2 (sCO 2 ) Brayton cycles and process heat, but their integrated transient behaviour under variable solar input and hybrid electric heating remains uncharacterised. This study d...

Continuous Glucose Monitoring and Long-Term Glycemic and Kidney Outcomes

Importance Real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM) improves short-term glycemic control in diabetes. However, scant evidence exists regarding rtCGM’s longer-term benefits for glycemia or kidney health. Objective To evaluate whether rtCGM initiation and sustained use is as...

Robust Angles-Only Tracking of Cislunar Noncooperative Maneuvering Targets with Observation Gaps

This study investigates space-based angles-only orbit tracking of cislunar noncooperative maneuvering targets under the Earth–moon Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem. The problem is particularly challenging when impulsive maneuvers occur during observation gaps, owing to accu...

Orbital Coupling‐Induced Quasi‐Covalent Interaction in Nd‐Doped L1 2 ‐Pt 3 Co Intermetallic Catalysts for Durable Fuel Cells

ABSTRACT Platinum remains the benchmark catalyst for proton exchange membrane fuel cells, but its long‐term durability and tolerance toward CO impurities are still insufficient for demanding practical operation. Here, we propose a novel perspective to address the degradation and...

Deep-learning-based fMRI decoding of real-world size for hand-held objects

Real-world object size is a fundamental dimension of visual cognition, supporting effective interaction with the environment and object manipulation. However, neural mechanisms underlying size representation have largely been inferred from extreme size comparisons, leaving the ne...

Amazonian forest residues as bioenergy resources: pyrolysis behavior, kinetic triplets and model validation

Wood residues from sustainable forest management in the Amazon represent an underexploited feedstock for thermochemical conversion, yet the pyrolysis kinetics of these materials remain poorly characterized. Eleven native Amazonian species were physicochemically characterized and...

Secretory Phospholipase A2–Albumin–Membrane Interactions: A Proposed Mechanism of Internal Cell and Tissue Injury in Systemic Inflammation

Systemic inflammation in sepsis causes internal cell and tissue injury through mechanisms that remain incompletely understood. Secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2-IIA; hereafter, sPLA2), a potent inflammatory mediator whose circulating levels rise dramatically during sepsis, hydrol...

Vertical Structure of Wind-Related Coastal Cooling in a Multi-Layer Buoy Array

The cooling of surface water in coastal seas is routinely detected by surface sensors, but a surface record alone cannot show whether the water below cooled at the same time or instead became warmer, and the two patterns may arise from different physical processes. We examined te...

What explains the implementation gap in foresight-designed policies? Evidence from a regional development strategy in Chile

Abstract Foresight and strategic planning have been widely recommended in public policy design to reduce uncertainty and improve governance. However, the gap between a foresight-designed public policy and its effective implementation remains a critical challenge for long-term gov...

Integration of high-κ oxide on 2D semiconductors with carbon-dot monolayer assembly as van der Waals interfacial layer

The atomically smooth surfaces of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials minimise scattering-induced carrier-transport degradation. However, this same attribute poses a major challenge for integrating 2D materials with high-quality dielectrics at sub-nanometre equivalent oxide thickn...

The impact of comorbid substance use on individual and group therapeutic alliance in specialised personality disorder treatment: a longitudinal multi-site study

Abstract Background The therapeutic alliance remains understudied in patients with personality disorders and comorbid substance use disorders. While personality disorder alone has been associated with impaired alliance formation and quality, the specific contribution of comorbid...
