The nonlinear dynamic performance of a constrained rolling-lobe air spring (CRLAS) is measured using a servo-controlled hydraulic test rig. Experimental results indicate that in the ultra-low frequency range (0.002–1 Hz), the dynamic stiffness increases sharply, while the loss an...

Selective Hydrogenation of Styrene to Ethylbenzene over a Pd/Cu(111) Single-Atom Alloy Surface
Abstract The hydrogenation of styrene (C6H5CH═CH2) to ethylbenzene (C6H5CH2CH3) over a 0.1 ML Pd/Cu(111) single-atom alloy (SAA) surface was investigated under ambient pressure conditions using polarization-dependent reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (PD-RAIRS). Gas-pha...

ABSTRACT There is an urgent need for novel antimicrobials to treat multidrug-resistant strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae . In a phase III trial (EAGLE-1), gepotidacin, a first-in-class triazaacenaphthylene antibacterial, demonstrated non-inferiority to ceftriaxone plus azithromyci...

Wafer-scale synthesis of WSe 2 for high-performance p-type top-gated transistors and logic circuits
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) offer a promising pathway for next-generation electronics due to their exceptional electrical characteristics at atomically thin thickness. Nevertheless, the realization of high-quality p-type 2D-FETs remains a signific...

The one-Layer Antarctic model for Dynamical Downscaling of Ice–ocean Exchanges (LADDIE) version 2.0
Projections of Antarctic mass loss and its contribution to sea-level rise are highly sensitive to the applied ocean-driven melting. As fully coupled continental-scale ocean–ice sheet models are scarce, ice sheet models are typically run in standalone configurations, forced with p...

A nuclear terrorism scenario: improvised nuclear weapons with 60%-enriched uranium
In this work we show that approximately 60–70 kg of 60%-enriched uranium can be used to build a crude nuclear weapon with a kiloton yield. While too large to fit on a missile, such a weapon could be delivered by a shipping container. This analysis is motivated by the June 2025 Is...

Purpose Surgical site infections following certain hand surgery procedures are inherently low; however, the utility of prophylactic antibiotics in such scenarios remains a point of controversy. This study aimed to evaluate postoperative infection rates among patients who were pre...

A microeconomic perspective on the cash-flow endogeneity in terminal value models
Abstract This paper studies how treating free cash flow (FCF) as endogenous—shaped by a firm’s investment choices—changes terminal value calculations. In practice, analysts address the uncertainty and ambiguity of the perpetual growth rate g and the cost of capital r with sensiti...

The emergence of rational behaviour in the proving process: towards Inside-Out 2
Abstract This paper focuses on proving as a rational process, contributing to the field of teaching and learning of proof, with reference to its relationship with argumentation. Within a larger study that investigates how cognitive role-playing in digital storytelling can foster...

Enabling Efficient NIR‐III Emission Under 808 nm Excitation Through Tm 3+ to Ho 3+ Energy Transfer
ABSTRACT Near‐infrared‐III (NIR‐III, 1700–2500 nm) phosphors are promising for deep‐tissue imaging and long‐wavelength photonic applications but are limited by weak excitation compatibility, low efficiency, and severe thermal quenching. Here, we report a Y 2 GeO 5 :Tm 3+ ,Ho 3+ p...

Acellular pertussis (aP) vaccines protect against pertussis disease but fail to induce tissue-resident memory (T RM ) cells that prevent nasal infection with Bordetella pertussis . Here, we demonstrate that boosting aP-immunized mice with a whole-cell pertussis (wP) vaccine impai...
