Concentration-Dependent Transition in the Rate-Determining Step of Hydrogen Evolution Driven by Pyridinium-Tethered Mononuclear and Dinuclear Platinum Photocatalysts

Abstract Previous studies on the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyzed by Pt(II)-based molecular catalysts have often demonstrated a second-order dependence of the HER rate on the catalyst concentration, suggesting the importance of stabilizing dinuclear platinum intermedia...

Final Environmental Assessment for salmon and steelhead hatchery programs in the Skokomish River Basin

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and the Puget Sound Treaty tribes jointly submitted seven HGMPs for Chinook salmon, steelhead, coho salmon, chum salmon, and sockeye salmon hatchery programs in the Skokomish River Basin, Puget Sound as RMPs.

Cognitive predictors of narrative retelling in early childhood

This study examined the associations between inhibitory control, working memory, inductive reasoning, awareness, and children’s narrative retelling abilities in early childhood. A total of 212 children aged 4–7 years participated in the study. Executive functions were assessed th...

Place and cause of death among people with chronic neurological diseases in Munich: a population-based study using death certificates

Abstract Introduction Access to palliative care is often delayed and fragmented for patients with chronic neurological diseases. This study aimed to characterize the place and cause of death among individuals with chronic neurological diseases to help identify potential gaps in p...

Network-guided synthesis of antagonistic microbiota for suppressing maize stalk rot disease.

Plant-associated microbiomes play a crucial role in sustaining host health and fitness, but how pathogen invasion reshapes microbial interaction networks and how to leverage this for developing effective biocontrol strategies remain poorly understood. This study investigated the...

Slides: What Happens in MPI Shouldn't Stay in MPI: Making Communication Visible for Learning and Performance Analysis

Slides of the invited talk at EuroMPI 2026, TU Wien, Vienna, Austria, October 8, 2026.Speaker: Anna-Lena Roth, Fulda University of Applied Sciences, Germany. Learning MPI means more than learning its syntax. Efficient parallel programs require understanding why communication is n...

Grassland soil bulk density decreases under grazing exclusion and responds asymmetrically to altered precipitation

Soil structure is a key determinant of grassland health and functioning, with bulk density serving as a widely used proxy. Grazing exclusion is a common restoration practice that often reduces soil bulk density in grasslands by restoring plant productivity and removing livestock...

Asymmetric Financial Flash-Crash Sabotage: Weaponizing Trusted Media Distribution Nodes, Algorithmic Latency, and Cross-Border Market Contagion in Gig-Economy Warfare

【Description / Abstract】Modern financial market microstructure is defined by high-frequency trading (HFT) algorithms and quantitative automated execution models that parse incoming news headlines with sub-millisecond latency. While regulatory frameworks focus predominantly on e...

Study on the pilot fuel injection strategy for a large-scale diesel/methanol dual-direct injection engine at high methanol substitution ratio

The diesel/methanol dual-direct injection (DMDDI) engine attracts wide attention because of its high methanol substitution ratio (MSR). This study establishes and validates a 3D CFD model for a 6400 kW two-stroke diesel/methanol dual-fuel (DMDF) engine. Under a fixed direct-injec...

H1: Phase-Guided Graphene Thermal Shield — Thermal Routing, Recession, Latency and Mass Constraints

H1 investigates whether phase-guided redistribution of lateral heat transport can improve thermal-shield response and whether this improvement translates into lower admissible normalized areal mass. The numerical sequence, H1.1–H1.12 with the H1.12R closure, progresses from conse...

Weak Tensor Transfers, Finite Tensor Closure, and Coherence from Restricted Triple Products

We construct a finite-exception weak tensor operation for fixed automorphic representations of general linear groups by combining restricted triple-product harmonic analysis with a converse-theorem argument. The analytic construction uses the proved affine-$\Psi$ Fourier–Poisson...

Generative LLM for adaptive taxonomy-informed multi-label classification in construction safety

Accurate hierarchical multi-label classification of construction accident narratives is vital, yet traditional methods struggle with the Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System (OIICS), which contains over 2000 labels across four attributes with four-level hierarchi...

Rheological characterization and microstructural features of a novel polymer-modified bentonite slurry for underground construction

During underground construction, complex conditions often degraded slurry rheological performance and compromised stability. A polymer-modified bentonite slurry was developed in this study using a novel composite polymer additive prepared by combining polyethylene oxide (PEO) and...

Analysis of Multiple Tire Rubber-Derived Chemicals in Fish Bile and Plasma: Analytical Method and Field Assessment in Puget Sound, WA, USA

Abstract Tire rubber-derived chemicals (TRCs) are known to be highly toxic to fish, but understanding of their environmental levels and fate is still limited. This study presents a new method for the analysis of 18 TRCs, including phenylenediamines (TRC-PDs), their quinone deriva...

Polypyrrole-Engineered ZnO/BiOBr Nanostructured Heterojunction with Broadband UV-Visible Optical Sensing Properties

Abstract Extending the spectral response of wide-bandgap semiconductors into the visible region remains a significant challenge for broadband UV-visible optical sensing. Herein, a polypyrrole (PPy)-engineered ZnO/BiOBr nanostructured heterojunction was developed to enhance visibl...

Association between intraprocedural oxygen administration and postprocedural pneumothorax after ct-guided transthoracic lung biopsy

Abstract Background Pneumothorax is the most common complication of computed tomography (CT)-guided transthoracic lung biopsy (TLB). Whether supplemental oxygen administered during the procedure before pneumothorax detection is associated with postprocedural pneumothorax remains...

A Hydrogen Bomb During Your Scheduled Flight

This article examines the physical consequences of a thermonuclear detonation from the perspective of passengers aboard a scheduled commercial flight at cruise altitude. Following the event from the first nanoseconds of energy release through thermal radiation, electromagnetic ef...

Stationary Susceptibility and Dynamic Landslide Hazard Forecasting System for Georgia Using ERA5, Fuzzy Logic, and Hybrid Machine Learning

Georgia, due to its high mountains, growth of population, intensive land use, and the number of vulnerable infrastructures (roads, large engineering constructions, etc.), as well as climate change, belongs to the one of most vulnerable regions in the world, as it is prone to haza...

Two-Scale Coating-Budget Framework for Broadband Sub-6 GHz Transmission Recovery Through Commercial FTO Low-Emissivity Glazing

Low-emissivity glazing reduces heat transfer, but its continuous fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) coating attenuates wireless signals. A two-scale coating-budget framework treats coating removal as a cost to minimize inside the patterned window and over the whole pane. A laboratory...

Mapping entrepreneurial competencies: integrating scholarly and practitioner perspectives

Purpose This study aims to synthesize competency-related terms used in the literature and by entrepreneurs into a consolidated framework of entrepreneurial competencies. Design/methodology/approach A structured focused review identified entrepreneurial competencies reported in pr...
