Land-Use Evolution and Multi-Scenario Spatial Divergence in Bays: A Case Study of Haitan Bay and Tannan Bay, Pingtan Island, China

Conflicts between development and conservation on tourism-driven islands are concentrated in bay-adjacent terrestrial areas, yet land-use evolution and scenario responses are rarely compared among functionally distinct bays on the same island. This study examined Haitan Bay and T...

Co‐Ligand‐Induced Electronic Modulation Controls Substrate Adsorption and Selectivity in Biomass Electrooxidation

ABSTRACT The electrooxidation of 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is often limited by competitive adsorption between HMF and surface‐bound hydroxyl species (OH ads ), which governs both activity and selectivity, yet independent control over these...

Intravascular hemolysis and clinical outcomes in continuous-flow LVAD patients: A single-center retrospective analysis

Objective: To determine the incidence of intravascular hemolysis in patients implanted with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), to describe longitudinal changes in hemolysis-related laboratory markers (LDH, total/direct bilirubin, INR), and to assess their di...

In situ precipitation of nanoscale α-Fe enables high-performance Nd2Fe14B/α-Fe nanocomposite ribbons

Nanocomposite magnets combining hard Nd2Fe14B and soft α-Fe phases are promising for surpassing the energy product limit of single-phase permanent magnets, but conventional routes using external Fe powders suffer from poor interfacial compatibility and uncontrolled soft-phase coa...

Optimal Methods for Approximating the Riemann–Liouville Fractional Integral in the Sobolev Space

We construct and analyze optimal quadrature formulas for the right-sided Riemann–Liouville fractional integral in the Sobolev space L2(m)(t,1), using φ,φ′,…,φ(m−1) at N+1 equally spaced nodes. The analysis is carried out through the Peano kernel of the error functional, for which...

Preservation, Acceptability and Sustainability of African Leafy Vegetables: A Narrative Review

African leafy vegetables (ALVs) are increasingly recognised for their nutritional, phytochemical, and socioeconomic importance, particularly in resource-limited communities. This narrative review synthesises current evidence on the effects of preservation methods on nutritional c...

Moral norms and consumer innovativeness independently explain sustainable tourism behavior among Vietnamese Generation Z

Sustainable tourism represents a critical pathway toward SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption) and SDG 13 (Climate Action), yet behavioral interventions remain constrained by incomplete understanding of motivational mechanisms. Value-Belief-Norm (VBN) theory typically explains only 29...

Evaluation of an Innovative Incisional Dressing With Closed Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System in Healthy Volunteers Through Evaluation of Dressing Survivability, Adverse Reactions, User Tolerability, and Comfort: A Self-controlled Randomized Trial in Healthy Volunteers

OBJECTIVE: This study compared an innovative closed-incision negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) system with the leading control system in healthy volunteers simulating recovery from total knee arthroplasty. The new system combines a single-use NPWT device with an incisional...

Spiro‐Configured Self‐Assembling Molecule Modulates Phase Distribution at the Buried Interface for Efficient Sky‐Blue Perovskite LEDs

ABSTRACT Quasi‑two‑dimensional (quasi‑2D) perovskites are promising candidates for efficient blue perovskite light‑emitting diodes (PeLEDs), but their complex low‑dimensional phase distributions often result in non‑radiative recombination and emission broadening. Herein, we desig...

Do Not Play: Recognizing Spiritual Distress in Serious Illness

Spiritual distress is a significant yet frequently underrecognized component of serious illness and palliative care. Although spirituality is recognized as a core domain of quality palliative care, patients often express spiritual suffering through grief, mistrust, anger, identit...

Bimodal α Phase Transformation and Strengthening‐Toughening Mechanisms in Ti–7Mo–4Al–3Nb–2Cr–2Zr Alloy via Synergistic Control of Cooling Rate and Thermal Cycling Frequency

To systematically investigate the influence of thermal history on microstructure evolution along the deposition direction in Ti–7Mo–4Al–3Nb–2Cr–2Zr alloy during laser melting deposition, the morphological changes in the α phase have been mainly researched. Results indicate that t...

Strengthening research administration in low-resource settings: assessment of knowledge gain from a research administration workshop at Makerere University, Uganda

Abstract Background This manuscript will focus on a research administration skills-building workshop as part of a National Institutes of Health (NIH) G11 grant for administrative development, “Expanded Strengthening of Makerere University’s Research Administration Capacity Progra...

Replacing Undefined Earned Media Value Metrics with a Rigorous Mention Quality and Impact (MQI) and Mention Earned Media Value (mEMV) Framework

Traditional Earned Media Value (EMV) calculations suffer from methodological limitations by depending on oversimplified and outdated proxies like Advertising Value Equivalency (AVE). In service marketing, where offerings are intangible and consumers cannot inspect an offering bef...

Future of lithium industry in Chile and the national lithium strategy: integration of solar evaporation, direct lithium extraction, and controlled reinjection

The lithium industry in Chile is undergoing a critical transition from an extensive evaporitic model to a more efficient, sustainable, and technologically integrated operation. This paper analyzes the main challenges of the Salar de Atacama, considering its high lithium concentra...

Does ESG performance enhance financial performance? Evidence from Morocco and the moderating role of corporate governance

Purpose This study addresses the ongoing debate on the environmental, social and governance (ESG)–financial performance nexus by examining whether ESG performance enhances firm profitability and whether corporate governance mechanisms condition this relationship in an emerging ma...

Predictors of Sentinel Lymph Node Metastasis and External Validation of the MSKCC Nomogram in Breast Cancer: A Retrospective Single-Center Cohort Study
