Rare-earth-free regenerator materials for enhanced 4-K cryocooler performance

Abstract Cryogenic cooling, a vital technology in magnetic resonance imaging and quantum computing, depends on scarce helium and heavy rare-earth elements. The increasing demand for this technology highlights the urgent need for alternative materials to reduce this reliance. Alth...

AI‐Based PV Fault Detection: Benchmarking Indicators and Feature Selection Methods

ABSTRACT This article presents a benchmarking of indicators for automated defect detection in photovoltaic modules based on I‐V curves. The methodology is structured in three stages. First, an ideal defect‐free I‐V curve is generated through simulation to provide a reference for...

Human dimensions of protected areas: a systematic review of the social-ecological effects of legal restrictions on local communities

Legal restrictions associated with protected areas can act as anthropogenic disturbances in social-ecological systems, altering relationships among communities, territories, and resources. This study examined how the scientific literature documents these effects by investigating...

Recognized but displaced: Uranium mill tailings and the sustainability accounting of nuclear energy

Nuclear-energy sustainability is usually debated through reactor performance, carbon intensity, fuel availability, operational safety and spent-fuel disposal. Less visible are the front-end residues generated by uranium production, especially uranium mill tailings (UMT), likely t...

A MEMS inertial sensor-based onboard system with calibrated vector-synthesis attitude estimation for dynamic testing of automatic loading systems

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to design an onboard storage and testing device for automatic loading systems in large-caliber heavy machinery, to accurately measure acceleration, angular velocity and attitude under high impact and vibration, overcoming the limitations of wi...

Foundational Fracture: Failing to Reform the World Trade Organization in an Age of Geopolitics

ABSTRACT The World Trade Organization (WTO) is at the crossroads, with a principal challenge raised to the organization by the United States in 2025 and a series of related, largely unsuccessful reform attempts over the last several years. To shed new light on why recent WTO refo...

Integrated Evaluation of Rooftop Solar Power Generation System Performance in Tropical Climate Using Geometric, Electrical, and Environmental Parameters

The increasing demand for electrical energy in the commercial sector has encouraged the utilization of rooftop Photovoltaic (PV) systems as a sustainable energy solution in tropical climate regions. However, rooftop PV performance is influenced by the interaction of geometric, el...

Interfacial ferroelectricity at naturally-formed van der Waals interfaces

Sliding ferroelectrics emerge as compelling candidates for next-generation wafer-level non-volatile storage applications with low power consumption and high packing density. However, artificially stacked sliding ferroelectrics with homogeneous/heterogeneous interfaces rely on hig...

Reimagining Book History Creatively for Twenty‐First‐Century Publishing Students

ABSTRACT Teaching book history to twenty‐first‐century publishing students often proves a delightful challenge as some grapple with appreciating how this history is relevant to not only their pursuit of a career in the publishing industry but also the publishing industry generall...

Data-Driven Risk Allocation and Incentive-Compatible Payment Schemes in Construction Contracts: Integrating Comparative Standard Forms, Public Works Disputes, and Principal–Agent Modeling

Abstract Construction projects worldwide suffer from misaligned risk allocation, poorly chosen payment schemes, and opaque claims and dispute processes, leading to chronic cost overruns and litigation. Building on comparative analyses of widely used international and national sta...

Improved YOLOv11 Framework with Channel Attention for High-Precision Identification of Luffa Leaf Diseases

Early accurate identification of luffa crop diseases is essential for timely treatment and high-quality agricultural production. Currently, luffa disease diagnosis relies solely on manual field inspection, which is labor-intensive and error-prone, and lacks assessment uniformity....

Architecture-Driven Supramolecular Assembly in Bottlebrush Hydrogels

Abstract Supramolecular materials are traditionally designed by strengthening noncovalent interactions or increasing the number of binding motifs. Here, we demonstrate a fundamentally different strategy: using macromolecular architecture to amplify weak molecular interactions int...

Burden, healthcare utilization, and costs of chronic liver disease–related hospitalizations in California: a population-based study of trends and projections, 2005–2035

Background Long-term trends in hospitalization burden, healthcare utilization, and costs of chronic liver disease (CLD) in the United States remain poorly characterized. Using statewide hospital discharge data, we quantified trends from 2005 to 2018 and projected future burden th...

Cycling Versus Swapping After First-Line TNF Inhibitor Failure in Psoriatic Arthritis: Real-World Insights From the Argentine RECCAPSO Registry

Objectives: Cycling within the same mechanism of action (MoA) or swapping to a different MoA are 2 strategies after failure of advanced therapy in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). We described the frequency, clinical characteristics, and treatment trajectory of cycling versus swapping...

Genotype by environment interaction analysis for fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) response and yield stability of maize hybrids (Zea maize L.) in southern Ethiopia

Abstract This study lies in the simultaneous evaluation of maize hybrids for grain yield stability and FAW tolerance under natural infestation conditions in the Gamo lowlands, an area where such integrated assessments are limited. The study also provides valuable insights into th...
