Natural Sunlight IR‐Driven Highly Efficient Synthesis of Acetaldehyde From Bioethanol Over Cu/Fe 2 O 3

ABSTRACT Using renewable biomass to synthesize valuable chemicals can reduce fossil fuel dependence and achieve carbon neutrality. Here, for the first time an infrared light‐driven catalyst, Cu/Fe 2 O 3 , was designed to convert bioethanol to valuable acetaldehyde, accompanied by...

Discourse, sentiment, and resonance of workplace burnout on Chinese social media: A computational analysis

Background and theoretical context Occupational burnout has evolved from an individual psychological concern into a systemic challenge to organisational sustainability. Traditional burnout research relies predominantly on structured scales or small-scale interviews, making it dif...

Transcriptomic timeseries links hepatic gene expression to an early and self-limited systemic response to enteric infection

The liver receives microbe and host signals from the intestine via the portal vein, thereby connecting the gut to systemic physiology. Homeostatic control of the timing of systemic responses is critical to prevent the expansion and dissemination of gut microbes and to mitigate un...

Contextual Socialization Processes of LGBTQA+ Youth’s Queer Identity Development

Ethnic-racial socialization research has identified myriad ecological influences shaping youth identity development, but few studies have put this research in conversation with queer of color critique to understand contextual socialization processes of queer youth identity develo...

Inter-DropletElectric Fields Drive Water Redox Chemistryin Microdroplets

Abstract The chemistry of water microdroplets is often interpreted from the perspective of isolated droplet interfaces, although practical microdroplet systems more commonly exist as dense ensembles of interacting droplets. Here, we show that a closed reactor based on ultrasonic...

PUH Theorem 318 (The Convergence Window Has No Mechanism) — A Planck Core's Area Goes as m², Not m^(2/3), So Surface-to-Mass RISES with Mass and T198's Theorem 4 Inverts; No Candidate Mechanism Supplies the Required Scaling

Photonic Universe Hypothesis (PUH) — Defect Located. THE CLAIM AT ISSUE. T198 derives a planetary-formation timeline from rebound momentum sorting, whose central relation v = p₀/m gives lighter cores higher velocity and sorts primordial cores into concentric mass shells. That rel...

Entros Protocol: A Framework for Temporally-Consistent, Decentralized Proof-of-Personhood

The proliferation of sophisticated AI and bot networks necessitates robust methods for verifying human uniqueness and liveness in digital ecosystems. Existing Proof-of-Personhood (PoP) solutions rely on centralized authorities, invasive static biometrics, or socially-correlatable...

Retirement and Personality Trait Development: A Continuous Time Meta-Analysis

The project thus pursues two interrelated goals: substantively, to evaluate whether retirement constitutes a robust and replicable factor of personality trait change.

L_net: Federal Reserve Net Systemic Liquidity as a Predictor of Nasdaq 100 Drawdowns

This paper constructs L_net = WALCL − WTREGEN − RRP, a synthetic indicator of Federal Reserve net systemic liquidity...

Implementing synchronous telehealth with people with dementia: exploring the perspectives of UK speech and language therapists

Background Communication difficulties are the main and leading symptom in primary progressive aphasia (PPA), and a common major symptom in all dementia types. Speech and language therapy is the principal treatment for communication difficulties in dementia. However, access is dep...

Magnetized Dense Matter in the Nambu–Jona–Lasinio Model and Its Applications to Compact Stars

We review the properties of strongly interacting matter under the influence of an external magnetic field, with emphasis on results obtained using the Nambu–Jona–Lasinio model and its variants. Strong magnetic fields, relevant for heavy-ion collisions and magnetars, introduce mod...

Between tradition and survival: Understanding the psychosocial dimensions of Hijra clapping ( Taali ) practices in the Kolkata Metropolitan, India

Introduction The taali, the distinctive hand-clap of the Hijra community, occupies a paradoxical space in South Asian public life, functioning as a sonic marker of gendered identity, a ritual instrument of devotion, and a means of economic survival. Despite its cultural visibilit...

Eliminating serum dependency of bovine mesenchymal stem cell expansion via media composition and genetic screen

The advancement of cultured fat toward viable industrial production is currently hindered by economic and technical constraints, including the formulation of cost-effective, chemically defined culture media. This study addresses serum dependency in bovine mesenchymal stem cells (...

UnlockingSimple Hydroboranes for Selective C–HBorylation of (Hetero)arenes

Abstract Control of borane speciation through Me2PhN·BH3 formation enables HBcat-mediated, metal-free C–H borylation of (hetero)arenes via an electrophilic aromatic substitution pathway. The process operates without external catalysts or additives and provides a sustainable platf...

Photo/Copper-CatalyzedOxidative Direct Diphosphorothiolationof Indolin-2-ones with P(O)SH Compounds

Abstract A visible-light-promoted cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) of indolin-2-ones with S-hydrogen phosphorothioates via 4H elimination has been developed, providing 3,3-diphosphorothiolated oxindoles in good yields with broad functional group tolerance. The protocol was al...

Rural Background, Training Exposure, and Rural Practice Location Among US Physicians

This cross-sectional study assesses the interdependence of rural background and training as factors associated with rural practice among US physicians.

Inventory conditions and tariff pass-through: evidence from U.S. softwood lumber

Using 25 years of monthly U.S.–Canada softwood lumber data and state-dependent local projections, we find that marginal tariff pass-through at six months declines monotonically with the pre-existing inventory-to-shipments ratio, from 1.8% per percentage point at the 10th percenti...

Seeing MolecularRecognition in Action: A Visual,Amplification-Free Sandwich Assay for DNA Detection Using Noble MetalNanoparticles

Abstract This laboratory experiment introduces upper-division undergraduate and early stage graduate students to the design and implementation of a nanoparticle-based DNA sandwich assay for colorimetric DNA detection. The assay leverages sequence-specific hybridization between DN...

Turkish Mothers’ Narratives of Communication and Emotional Labor in Families Raising Children with Multiple Disabilities: A Qualitative Study

Previous research on raising children with disabilities has primarily emphasised parental stress and caregiving burden, yet less is known about how mothers sustain everyday communication and emotional labour when conventional language-based interaction is limited. This qualitativ...

Committed Presentism: A Single-History Ontology of Quantum Mechanics

Committed Presentism is a single-history ontology of quantum mechanics: only the present exists, reality advances through one global now within a causal domain, and one already-decohered branch becomes actual while the others never do. The construction is finite-dimensional, cohe...
