Tuning Water Transport in Subnanometer‐Sized Artificial Water Channels

ABSTRACT Water transport through nanochannels is not only essential for biological functions but also holds promise for the development of advanced flow sensors and membranes. In this study, a series of artificial water channels with subnanometer‐sized pores and tunable hydrophil...

Exploring Trade-offs Between Carbon Storage and Timber Production with Alternative Rotation and Harvest Policies: Insights from a Real-World Forest Management Area

Forests provide essential ecosystem services, particularly timber production and carbon sequestration, both of which play critical roles in climate change mitigation and sustainable forest management. However, the long-term consequences of alternative management strategies on car...

Filling the void: sense of absence as a comprehensive bridge between attachment, parent–adolescent communication, and addictive behaviors among adolescents

Abstract Adolescent addictive behaviors present a growing public health concern, yet the pathways leading from experiences of disconnection to persistent addictive patterns remain unclear. This study examined the Sense of Absence (SoA), a subjective feeling of inner void and disc...

Effect of ions on the ultrafast dynamics of electron–phonon and phonon–phonon interactions in gold nanospheres in water

Modulating localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) plays an essential role in the incorporation of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) in various applications. For instance, the ability to tune the LSPR frequency by varying the size and shape of MNPs is crucial for photodetection and...

Institutional shareholder coordination and labour investment efficiency: evidence from the geographic concentration of institutional shareholders

In an era of dispersed ownership, shareholder coordination has become increasingly important. Using a sample of A-share listed firms on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges from 2007 to 2022, we empirically investigate the impact of shareholder coordination on labour investm...

Cross-Domain Noise Condensation: Universal Topological Signature of Ordered-to-Disordered Phase Transitions in Typhoon, ENSO, Earthquake, and Greenland Ice Sheet

We present the first cross-domain empirical demonstration of a universal topological signal — noise condensation (dH_curl divergence + D_fold negative) — at ordered-to-disordered phase transitions across four geophysical domains: tropical cyclones (21 WPAC typhoons), ENSO (1870-2...

An ensemble learning framework for protein stability prediction with enhanced recognition of stabilizing mutations

Accurately predicting mutation-induced protein stability changes remains a central challenge in structural bioinformatics. Existing methods exhibit a strong bias toward destabilizing mutations, leading to limited performance for stabilizing mutations and constraining their utilit...

Attribution Slows Model Collapse Whether or Not It Is True

Language models trained recursively on their own output degrade. Every published mitigation works by importing information from outside the loop — blending in real human data, relabelling with a frozen external model, or detecting and filtering synthetic text. This paper tests an...

Kinematic Lensing via the Topological Shear Index: Mapping Macroscopic Spacetime Deformations Beyond the Zone of Avoidance

Mapping cold stellar streams, dwarf galaxy remnants, and obscured mass concentrations in the Galactic halo is fundamentally constrained by interstellar dust extinction in regions such as the Zone of Avoidance (ZoA) and molecular cloud complexes. We present an updated, non-paramet...

Preparation andEvaluation of Biopolysaccharide-BasedTemperature-Resistant Drilling Fluid Additives

Abstract Xanthan gum (XG), valued for its environmental friendliness and multifunctionality, has been extensively utilized in drilling fluids. However, its inadequate thermal stability at elevated bottomhole temperatures encountered in deep drilling operations has constrained its...

Water, Alcohols, Amines, and Amides as Formal Hydrogen‐Atom‐Transfer Reagents Through Activation With Redox‐Active Lewis Acids

ABSTRACT The O─H and N─H bonds of protic molecules such as water, alcohols, amines, or amides typically resist hydrogen‐atom abstraction because of the high energy of the resulting heteroatom‐centered radical intermediates. However, association of the protic molecules with redox‐...

Primary Acantholytic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Breast With Basal-Like Immunophenotype and Low Proliferation: A Case Report and Literature Review

Background Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast is an extremely rare subtype of metaplastic breast carcinoma, often showing aggressive clinical behavior and posing diagnostic challenges, particularly when acantholysis is present and mimics vascular neoplasms. Patient pre...

Multi-ancestry conditional and joint analysis applied to GWAS summary statistics

Manc-COJO (Multi-Ancestry Conditional and Joint Analysis) is a C++ software package for identifying independent association signals from multi-ancestry GWAS summary statistics. By jointly modelling association signals across ancestry groups while accounting for ancestry-specific...

Artificial Intelligence for Diagnosis of Temporomandibular and Cranio-Cervico-Mandibular Musculoskeletal Disorders: A Systematic Review and Exploratory Diagnostic Test Accuracy Meta-Analysis

Objectives: To systematically evaluate the diagnostic accuracy, clinical applicability, and methodological maturity of artificial intelligence (AI)-based methods for temporomandibular disorders (TMD), temporomandibular joint (TMJ) abnormalities, and related cranio-cervico-mandibu...

Mechanical Performance, Durability, and Microstructure of Dune-Sand Concrete Incorporating Rice Husk Ash and Dried Oil Sludge

This study evaluates sustainable dune-sand concrete produced using local dune sand, rice husk ash (RHA), and dried oil sludge. The experimental program included a control mixture (C0) and three modified mixtures (M1–M3). RHA was used as a partial replacement for Portland cement a...

"From Innovation to Market" White Paper

As part of the Security Mission Information & Innovation Group (SMI2G) event, held on 23–24 April 2026 at the Conseil régional d'Île-de-France, Paris, France, the panel discussion "From Innovation to Market" brought together panellists who shared their experience in research and...

The Andorra Scenario Engine: A Data-Grounded Framework for Policy-Oriented National Development Planning

Planning long-term national development under uncertainty is difficult for small states, where indicators are fragmented, frequently revised, and span tightly coupled social, economic, and environmental domains. Scenario tools can support such decisions without committing to a si...

Non-Compensatory Security and Utility Gates for Blockchain Lifecycle Assessment: Framework Development and an Operational-Energy Application to the Ethereum Merge

Environmental comparisons of blockchain systems are often reduced to electricity per transaction, although operational services also depend on validators, cloud gateways, storage, monitoring, key management, recovery, and hardware replacement. This study develops a lifecycle asse...

Comprehensive genomic characterization of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from neonates: multiple center insights into virulence, resistance, and transmission dynamics

Neonatal extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC), which can cause severe long-term sequelae by systemic infections, is gradually becoming the primary pathogen threatening neonatal health. The lack of large-scale genomic epidemiological investigation hinders further un...
