Potential and Insight: Sealing Potential of Low‐Permeability Basalt Interlayer in Mudstone Caprock for CO 2 Storage in Sandstone Aquifer

ABSTRACT When CO 2 is sequestered in deep aquifers of sedimentary basins, mudstone or shale is usually used as a caprock. When the caprock contains low‐permeability basalt interlayers, its sealing potential could be improved. This study utilized geological data from the Jianghan...

Evaluation of clinical interventions made by pharmacists, doctors and nurses in a hospital post-discharge telephone service: a retrospective cohort study

Abstract Introduction Clinician-led post-discharge telephone follow-up programs are effective in resolving medication-related problems (MRPs) in older adults. Our hospital offers a post-discharge telephone service, Talk-To-You-Tomorrow (TTYT), to general medicine patients to supp...

Multistability and global dynamics of orthogonally coupled von Mises trusses with unilateral contact

Abstract This work investigates the nonlinear dynamics of a system composed of two orthogonally coupled von Mises trusses connected through a unilateral elastic element. A discrete model is derived using an energy-based formulation, accounting for geometric nonlinearities and uni...

Modeling the effect of microstructures on thermal stress for virtual prototyping of TWTA samples

Abstract This study presents a thermal stress FEM model of five different Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier components subjected to a 300K–823K continuous heating/cooling cycle. The effects of variation in the constitutive composite brazed material properties, complex shape structure...

Spray-Induced Gene Silencing (SIGS) of Dual-Target Genes (AaGH10 and AaSOD) Enhances Control of Alternaria alternata White Leaf Spot in Chinese Chive

Chinese chive (Allium tuberosum) suffers severe yield and quality losses from white leaf spot disease caused by Alternaria alternata. Spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) presents a sustainable alternative to traditional chemical fungicides. To maximize the biocontrol efficacy of...

Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation Following Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgery (RESTORE II)

Objective: RESTORE II compared in an RCT the impact of a 12-week multidisciplinary rehabilitation program versus standard care (SC) on cardiorespiratory fitness and physical function in patients postupper gastrointestinal (UGI) oncologic surgery. Summary of Background Data: The v...

Tiny Messengers, Actionable Targets: sEV-Driven Epigenetic Changes in Cancer

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are pivotal mediators of intercellular epigenetic communication in cancer. Following MISEV2023, we use the size- and isolation-based term sEV throughout, because most primary studies cited here cannot resolve which biogenetic route generated th...

Rapid Detection of Spring Viremia of Carp Virus ( SVCV ) Using RAA ‐ CRISPR /Cas12a

ABSTRACT Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV), that can infect cyprinoid and koi causing an acute hemorrhagic symptom, with a feature of widespread epidemic, which poses a severe threat to the global aquaculture industry. Given the absence of specific effective medicine or vaccine...

NASA TLX workload profiles of multimodal artificial intelligence models and dental students during objective structured practical dental examinations

Abstract Accuracy alone cannot characterize how artificial intelligence (AI) models engage with dental assessment tasks. This cross-sectional study introduces workload profiling as an evaluative lens, comparing modified National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Inde...

Malaria burden across 126 tropical countries and territories, 1990–2021: tropical-climate share, sociodemographic correlates, population dynamics, and projections to 2050

Malaria remains a major global health challenge, particularly in tropical regions. Although recent global reports describe persistent malaria burden, fewer studies have jointly assessed tropical-climate context, sociodemographic development, demographic decomposition, and future...

The genome sequence of Tanacetum vulgare L., 1753 (Asterales: Asteraceae)

We present a genome assembly of Tanacetum vulgare (tansy; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Asterales; Asteraceae). The assembly consists of two haplotypes with total lengths of 4 610.35 megabases and 4 806.39 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (97.11%) is scaffolded into 9 chromosomal ps...

The Effect of News Portal Use for Local News on Subjective Well-Being: The Mediating Role of Thwarted Belongingness and the Moderating Role of Self-Esteem

Considering the changing news consumption patterns driven by new media technology and the decline of traditional local news outlets, the current research explored how the use of news portals for local news as emerging channels of news consumption affects the news audiences’ psych...

Automated Linguistic-Feature Analysis of Speech Related to Impulsivity Trait in Children and Adolescents

Impulsivity is a common trait and is understood as a symptom of various disorders such as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). We previously proposed ImpulsivityBank protocol, which is a standardized discourse protocol for retrieving speech samples that enables the id...

Displaced people and kidney health

Purpose of review The number of displaced people worldwide continues to rise because of conflict and disasters-related crises. Kidney disease is increasingly recognized as an important contributor to morbidity among displaced populations, yet it remains under-prioritized in human...

Omphalocele with Patent Omphalomesenteric Duct and Intestinal Prolapse in a Preterm Neonate: Histopathological Evidence of Incomplete Vitelline Duct Involution

Patent omphalomesenteric duct (OMD) with intestinal prolapse coexisting with omphalocele is an exceptional ventral folding anomaly that may be misdiagnosed as gastroschisis. The vitellointestinal duct normally involutes between the seventh and ninth gestational weeks; failure of...

Role of Weathering on the Disintegration of Compatibilized Polymer Blends and Their Release of Microplastics

ABSTRACT The increasing environmental presence of microplastics and nanoplastics constitutes a critical concern for environmental integrity and public health, with notable repercussions across aquatic systems, terrestrial ecosystems, and both human and animal health. These partic...

Flowering-Stage Heat Stress in Xinjiang Jujube Orchards: Spatiotemporal Evolution, Integrated Risk Assessment, and Multi-Scale Drivers

Jujube is an important economic fruit tree in China, with Xinjiang being the largest production region, where flowering-stage heat stress threatens yield stability. Assessing heat risk in jujube orchards requires consideration of crop-specific phenological sensitivity and heat in...

FD-ProtoSCD: Semantic Change Detection in High-Resolution Remote Sensing Images via Frequency-Domain Disentanglement and Dynamic Prototype Learning

Semantic Change Detection (SCD) in high-resolution remote sensing images is challenged by appearance-induced pseudo-changes and highly imbalanced class transitions. To address these coupled difficulties, we propose FD-ProtoSCD, a decoupled SCD framework that combines Frequency-Do...

Associations of momentary food availability and appetitive drive with adolescents' food intake and dysregulated eating in a community sample of adolescents: The moderating role of trait hedonic hunger

Abstract Using ecological momentary assessment (EMA), we tested whether momentary palatable food availability and appetitive drive predict adolescents' palatable food/drink intake and dysregulated eating and whether trait hedonic hunger moderates these momentary links. Adolescent...
