A New Memristive Chaotic System With Large-scale Amplitude Modulation and Fixed-time Synchronization

This paper proposes a new simple memristive chaotic system (MCS) containing an exponential term, a constant term, and a memristor-based nonlinear term. The system has dissipative feature and only one equilibrium. Its parameter-relied complex dynamics are comprehensive studied and...

Evolution and Manipulation of Interstitial Oxygen Configuration in Titanium—A Review

Oxygen has been regarded as a detrimental impurity in titanium alloys, as it triggers embrittlement and compromises ductility. Recent research advancements, however, have revolutionized this perception, revealing oxygen as a powerful microstructural architect capable of mediating...

Comparative Performance Analysis of Building-Integrated Photovoltaics and Conventional Envelope Materials: Energy, Economic, and Environmental Assessment

The use of photovoltaic technologies in building envelopes has attracted more and more interest as a promising solution to building sustainability by considering energy efficiency, economic feasibility, and environmental impact issues altogether. This paper will provide an overal...

Interhalogen Complexation Suppresses Hydrolysis–Corrosion Cross‐Talk Degradation in Aqueous Two‐Electron Zn–I 2 Batteries

ABSTRACT Aqueous two‐electron Zn–I 2 (I ‒ /I 0 /I + ) batteries offer high theoretical energy density; however, their practical operation is limited by hydrolysis of iodine monochloride (ICl), which induces cathode irreversibility and Zn‐anode degradation. Here, we introduce an e...

Zero-Fluoroscopy, ICE-Only Patent Foramen Ovale Closure in Early Pregnancy: A case report

Abstract Background Transcatheter closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) is an established strategy for secondary prevention of cryptogenic stroke in selected patients. During pregnancy, the timing and method of closure require individualized assessment of recurrent embolic risk...

Chemical and Enantioselective Characterization and Preliminary Biological Activities of Aristolochia lingulata Aerial-Part Essential Oil

Species of the genus Aristolochia are recognized as a rich source of structurally diverse specialized metabolites; however, the volatile chemical composition and biological properties of several Neotropical species remain poorly characterized. In particular, no information is cur...

Digital Twin-Driven Hybrid Fuzzy Bayesian Simulation Framework for Dynamic Green Credit Risk Assessment in Manufacturing Enterprises

Green credit risk assessment for manufacturing enterprises is a dynamic and complex problem affected by operational states, environmental uncertainty, financial conditions, information quality, and interactive risk evolution. Traditional assessment methods depend heavily on low-f...

Implementation of a passive bin-based perpetual medication inventory model within ambulatory clinics at an academic medical center

PURPOSE: Ambulatory clinics manage high-cost medications with little visibility into quantity or movement, leaving unrealized opportunities for inventory optimization. Automated dispensing cabinets, common in inpatient settings, address this issue but require significant capital...

Tactile length-memorisation training for needle depth control: A pilot study of cross-postural skill transfer

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this pilot study was to examine whether tactile length-memorisation training practised in a single basic posture could improve insertion-depth control across different needling postures. METHODS: In this single-group pre-post pilot study, eight visually impa...

Evaluation of Varnishes to Slow Down the Aging of Plasticized PVC

ABSTRACT This study investigates the preventive and curative potential of surface varnishes to mitigate the aging of plasticized PVC (p‐PVC), with particular emphasis on the influence of the PVC formulation on coating efficiency. Two industrial p‐PVC formulations were studied: PV...

Angiography-Derived vs Wire-Based Physiological Assessment in Coronary Artery Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

This study aimed to determine whether angiography-based physiological assessment yields clinical outcomes comparable to those of conventional wire-based pressure measurements in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing evaluation of intermediate coronary stenoses. A...

Improving interpretability and applicability of welfare management decisions in dairy cows through explainable artificial intelligence

Abstract Background Improving animal welfare and health is a key objective in modern dairy systems. However, translating routinely available dairy herd improvement records into transparent and actionable welfare-related decisions remains challenging, particularly when using compl...

Governing through numbers: a theoretical framework for understanding how accounting information influences megaproject governance

Purpose This paper aims to explore how accounting information shapes the governance of megaprojects by integrating insights from institutional theory and governmentality perspectives into a unified theoretical framework. Design/methodology/approach The framework highlights the in...

A Stabilized Linear Tetrahedral Finite Element with Face-Based Strain Reconstruction Kinematics for Nearly Incompressible Finite-Strain Hyperelasticity

Linear tetrahedral elements for nearly incompressible finite-strain hyperelasticity are often affected by volumetric locking and exhibit oscillatory stress/pressure fields. We propose a stabilized linear tetrahedral u-θ element combining mixed VMS stabilization with face-based st...
