Enhancing the Resilience of Critical Military Supply Chains through External Threat Management

In recent decades, the importance of supply chain management has increased due to the frequency and severity of disruptions. The issue of supply chain resilience is widely discussed in the scientific literature. It should be noted that most studies focus on the functioning of com...

Algal Bioactive Metabolites with Important Roles in Wound Healing

A wound is defined as disruption or destruction of tissue integrity. In order to support healing in wound management, a good wound bed free of necrotic tissue and infection is desired, but intensive chemical antiseptics will cause cell destruction and delay healing. In order for...

Identifying key prognostic indicators for extended hemodialysis survival: A comprehensive analysis of clinical, laboratory, and demographic factors

Objectives: Although maintenance dialysis prevents death from uremia, mortality among patients with end-stage kidney disease-ESKD remains high. Hence, this study aims to detect the demographic, clinical, and laboratory parameters that contribute to long-term survival on hemodialy...

The evolution of maximum breaks in professional snooker

Abstract The maximum 147 break is snooker’s most celebrated achievement, yet its frequency has never been analysed statistically. We compile a season-level dataset of 44 seasons (1981–82 to 2024–25) and 217 maximum breaks. Using negative binomial regression with a log-frames offs...

The Paradox of Tau and RNA-Binding Proteins: How Adaptive Stress Granule Regulation Becomes Pathological with Aging

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are a large class of proteins that form biological condensates to facilitate their functions. Chronic stress, such as occurs in neurodegenerative diseases, stimulates persistent accumulation of particular RBP condensates as part of the translational st...

Cross-platform transcriptomic integration identifies PDPN for precision prognostic stratification of 1p/19q non-codeleted adult diffuse gliomas

Molecular stratification is central to precision oncology, enabling targeted diagnosis and risk-adapted management of glioma. However, clinically robust transcriptomic biomarkers that refine molecular risk stratification according to 1p/19q status and support personalized diagnos...

Proton Capture and Relay Codesign Enables a pH‐Neutral All‐Organic Aqueous Proton Battery

ABSTRACT Aqueous all‐organic proton batteries promise safe, sustainable, and high‐rate energy storage, but operation under near‐neutral conditions is hindered by low proton activity and competition from nonproton charge carriers. Here, we report a proton capture and relay codesig...

Prescribed‐Time Adaptive Dynamic Surface Control for Non‐Strict‐Feedback Nonlinear Systems

ABSTRACT In this paper, we investigate the practical prescribed‐time (PPT) tracking control problem for a class of nonlinear non‐strict‐feedback systems with arbitrarily bounded initial states. A radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is employed to approximate unknown and...

Failure behavior of star-shaped zero Poisson's ratio honeycomb core with aluminum face-sheet sandwich beams under three-point bending

The failure behavior and energy absorption performance of star-shaped zero Poisson’s ratio honeycomb core with aluminum face-sheet sandwich beams under three-point bending are experimentally and numerically studied. A numerical model that accounts for the nonlinear mechanical beh...

Purposeful publishing: concern as methodological responsibility in accounting research

Purpose This article addresses how purposeful research can be sustained in academic systems where what matters is increasingly defined through citation counts and journal rankings. It proposes the recovery of purpose through concern. A study's concern is the normative orientation...

Exploring the electrification of electric road systems for wireless electric vehicle charging on electric motorways

Abstract The projected increase in the adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in the coming years as necessitated the need for available and accessible charging networks. Dynamic Wireless Charging (DWC) is introduced as one of the emerging techniques that can be implemented to reduc...

To address driving safety risks and energy waste caused by significant brightness fluctuations on road surfaces, this study proposes a dynamic optimization and intelligent control method for highway tunnel lighting environments. Through field experiments and data analysis under v...

Government Certification and Innovation in Strategic Core Technologies: A Systems Perspective on China’s Little Giant Program

Breakthroughs in strategic core technologies depend on the coordinated functioning of policy institutions, capital markets, knowledge networks, and firm decision-making. This study examines whether government certification can mobilize these interdependent elements within an inno...

Geopolitical risk and renewable energy consumption: distributional patterns, innovation, and energy-exporter heterogeneity

Purpose This paper aims to examine how the relationship between geopolitical risk and renewable energy consumption varies across the conditional distribution. It also assesses renewable-energy innovation as a partial channel and energy-exporter status as a moderator. Design/metho...
