A threshold-based spatial framework for evaluating energy and crop-light trade-offs in agrivoltaic systems

Agrivoltaic systems are increasingly considered a viable strategy to reconcile photovoltaic electricity generation with agricultural production and reduce land-use conflict. Their design requires a quantitative understanding of how layout affects both energy yield and crop-releva...

High‐Rate Magnesium‐Ion Batteries Enabled by Boron‐Doped Bismuth Anodes

Large volume expansion upon (de)alloying faced by bismuth anodes always leads to severe capacity loss and poor durability for magnesium‐ion batteries. This failure mode becomes particularly pronounced under high current‐density impact, where the sluggish electron transport and io...

LAB #4137 NEUTRAL: LEDGER BENCH: Apply filter: USDCHF LONG — improves win rate from 32.6% to 39.7% (+7.2pp, n=146) — E8 Intelligence Research

IDEA: Adjustment made to the live model — verify against the backtests: Apply filter: USDCHF LONG — improves win rate from 32.6% to 39.7% (+7.2pp, n=146) SAME-WINDOW EFFECT: Over the current live window, the filter would have blocked all USDCHF LONG entries — but none of the list...

Metasurface-Enhanced Sensing Platforms for Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Monitoring: Recent Advances and Future Perspectives

The growing demand for sensitive, selective, and rapid detection of trace analytes in complex matrices is driving the development of compact optical sensing platforms. Metasurfaces can strengthen light–matter interactions through subwavelength field confinement and resonance engi...

Depression and Anxiety Among Adolescents with Cancer: A Saudi Cross-Sectional Study

Background/Objectives: Adolescents undergoing treatment for cancer face both physical and psychological challenges, including depression and anxiety, yet local prevalence data remain limited in Saudi Arabia. The primary objective was to determine the prevalence of depressive and...

Simulation of SAR multi-angle ship target imaging, considering multiple scattering

Ship recognition based on SAR imagery supports in maritime tracking and security applications. However, the cost and limited accessibility of real SAR data make simulation a critical alternative to address data scarcity. To generate high-fidelity SAR images of ship targets, this...

Bacterial Surfaces and Barriers: Biogenesis and Pathogen–Host Interactions

Abstract The bacterial surface represents the primary interface between pathogens and hosts, yet its chemical and architectural complexity challenges conventional classification. This Review examines structural organization, molecular composition, and biogenesis of bacterial surf...

A Review on Film-Forming Mechanisms, Modification Strategies, and Applications of Natural Lacquer

Originating in the East, lacquer is a natural polymeric material noted for its superior film-forming properties, corrosion resistance, and mechanical robustness. The decorative techniques associated with it have been inscribed on China’s national intangible cultural heritage list...

Language assessment literacy for CLIL: in-service teachers’ practices, perspectives, and (Re)learning needs

This study investigated Taiwanese in-service CLIL teachers’ understanding of language assessment concepts and identified their training needs in designing assessment in CLIL contexts. A total of 161 teachers participating in CLIL professional development programs were involved. D...

Carcinogenic mechanisms in penile cancer: HPV, inflammation, and other pathways

Objective: Penile cancer, though rare, carries profound clinical and psychosocial consequences. Its diagnosis often occurs at advanced stages, leading to mutilating surgeries and severe impairment in quality of life. Approximately 95% of penile malignancies are squamous cell carc...

Identification of stable reference genes for quantitative real-time PCR in human fibroblasts from lymph nodes and synovium

Abstract Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is a widely used method for gene expression analysis; however, its accuracy depends on the selection of stable reference genes for normalization. To date, no study has systematically identified suitable reference genes for primary hum...

Association Between Sperm DNA Fragmentation Index and Outcomes of Fresh Embryo Transfer in IVF/ICSI Cycles: A Retrospective Cohort Study

OBJECTIVE: This study explored the impact of the sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) on clinical outcomes and infant safety in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) among infertile couples. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study analyzed clinical data...

CFD-DEM modeling and experimental validation of fluidized bed drying using Reaction Engineering Approach

Fluidized bed drying is an effective technique for drying particulate materials and is widely applied in post-harvest processing of agricultural products as well as in industrial applications. This study develops a numerical drying model based on a coupled Computational Fluid Dyn...

No justice for all! Green masculinity, extractivism, and global energy transitions

This article develops the concept of “green masculinity” as a socio-political order grounded in patriarchal structures that legitimizes car fetishism, large-scale technological control, extractive dominance, and violence against feminized bodies and territories as central strateg...

Expert Consensus on Robot-Assisted Vascularized Bone Grafting for the Treatment of Early-Stage Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) remains a progressive clinical challenge that predominantly affects young and active adults between 20 and 50 years of age. Without timely and effective surgical intervention, natural disease progression leads to structural subchondral fra...

Biochar-Based Materials from Plant Waste: Physicochemical and Structural Characteristics, Zearalenone Binding in Vitro

Contamination of feed with zearalenone (ZEN) poses a threat to animal and human health, which drives interest in low-cost sorbents derived from plant waste. For non-activated biochars, the properties that govern ZEN binding remain not fully studied. A hypothesis was proposed stat...
