A model for the gas nucleation pressure below the vapour pressure is crucial for predicting cavitation in nozzles and valves and for flashing inception in pipelines. Classical heterogeneous nucleation theory (CNT) predicts nucleation rates for C O 2 that are orders of magnitude t...

This paper relocates the Schrödinger equation, the Born probability rule, and the definiteness of experience from a single undifferentiated account into two layers: a deterministic structural layer (Tier-2) and a translation layer (Tier-3), the layer of commutative, analytic, cla...

We offer a novel theoretical account of why entrepreneurs experience anxiety and how entrepreneurs cope with anxiety. We integrate insights from linguistic theories into entrepreneurship literature to propose that entrepreneurs’ linguistic architecture—particularly the vocabulary...

Low-lime calcium silicate cement (CSC) offers the potential to reduce CO2 emissions during cement production and sequester CO2 through carbonation curing. However, the relationship between CSC replacement, strength development, and CO2 uptake requires clarification at the concret...

ABSTRACT Waste iron oxide particles generated during steelmaking were proposed as promising reinforcements for enhancing the mechanical properties of acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS)‐based composite filaments for extrusion‐based additive manufacturing. The surface chemical s...

Objectives: Papillary thyroid carcinomas detected by nuclear medicine imaging techniques may have a worse prognosis than those identified by conventional methods. However, it remains unclear whether this applies to papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMCs). Methods: Patients diag...

Abstract Understanding how freshwater species move through changing environments is critical for conservation, yet movement in riverine systems is shaped by interacting hydrological, landscape and biological processes that are difficult to disentangle across studies. For semi-aqu...

Background: Sarcopenia is characterized by a progressive decline in skeletal muscle strength, muscle quantity or quality, and physical performance. Patients with chronic rheumatic diseases may be at increased risk of sarcopenia because of persistent systemic inflammation, reduced...

Complex Upper-Mantle Anisotropy Beneath the Pacific Triangle Revealed by Shear-Wave Splitting
Abstract Understanding mantle flow beneath old oceanic plates is essential for linking present-day plate motions with long-term lithospheric evolution, yet direct constraints remain sparse due to limited offshore observations. Here, we investigate upper-mantle seismic anisotropy...

Culture and China’s Economic Development
This study examines the economic implications of long-standing Confucian values and the principles of socialism with Chinese characteristics for China's economic development, particularly in the context of growing tensions between the United States and China. By incorporating an...

Vocational education for entrepreneurial career transformation in the construction sector
Abstract Aim This article examines how Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) can support entrepreneurial career transformation among workers in the construction sector. Context TVET is commonly associated with employability and technical skill formation, but its...

Data as Waves: A Relational Approach to Semiconductor Process Analysis Using Relative Phase
This study investigates a relational representation of semiconductor process data based on relative phase and its progression over time. Rather than treating process data only as collections of individual sensor measurements, the study examines whether relationships formed among...

Health literacy (HL) is a social determinant of health, yet its independent, population-level association with metabolic syndrome (MetS) remains unclear, particularly in Asian populations. Using data from the first Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cycles to...

Environmental conditions associated with active lightning events in April around the Nansei Islands
Abstract A lot of cloud-to-ground lightning flashes sometimes occur around the Nansei Islands in April, while those April lightning bursts (ALBs) have not been investigated. This work aims at elucidating the environments contributing to ALBs through a case study and composite ana...

Contact resistance has been a consistent challenge in the 40-year history of the organic thin-film transistor (OTFT). The problem arises because contact resistance at the metal electrode/organic interface is an amalgamation of physical phenomena: From ubiquitous defect states and...

Cattle produce a subset of antibodies (Abs) with unique architecture. These immunoglobulins feature an ultralong CDR-H3 (uCDR-H3) composed of up to about 70 amino acids that protrudes from the scaffold and folds into a distinct stalk-and-knob structure. The knob is a disulfide-ri...

Hyalospheniids are a conspicuous group of testate amoebae whose rich morphology has allowed their classification based on the characterization of their shells. However, recent studies showed the occurrence of convergences and phenotypic plasticity, which complicate their taxonomy...
