The dissent of decarbonization: Sociotechnical controversies in lithium extraction in the Vale do Jequitinhonha, Brazil

This article describes and analyzes the sociotechnical controversies surrounding lithium exploration in the Vale do Jequitinhonha, Minas Gerais, Brazil, situating them within the context of the global energy transition and the so-called “decarbonization consensus.” The research a...

DyCoDiff: Dynamic Collaborative Diffusion for Text‐Image‐Audio‐to‐Video

Text‐image‐audio‐to‐video (TIA2V) generation synthesizes videos whose semantics, appearance, and temporal dynamics are jointly controlled by text prompts, reference images, and audio signals. Existing TIA2V methods usually combine these modalities through separate spatial and tem...

From resource structuring to continuance intention in food sharing apps: the moderating role of digital resources in hospitality

Purpose Food sharing apps are increasingly adopted by hospitality businesses to facilitate surplus food redistribution, improve operational coordination, and support sustainability initiatives. However, existing research has primarily focused on consumer adoption and initial plat...

Navigational affordances emerge stably with brief stimulus exposure despite changes in scene content

Everyday life requires successful navigation often through complex and dynamic environments. The ability to identify efficient and safe routes of egress through scenes relies on perception of the navigational affordances of scenes. Recent behavioral work identified that navigatio...

Predefined‐Time Scaled Containment Control for Nonlinear Multi‐Agent Systems With Prescribed Performance Guarantees

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the practical predefined‐time (PT) scaled containment control (SCC) problem for multi‐agent systems (MASs) subject to unknown nonlinear dynamics and external disturbances. The theoretical framework begins with the presentation of a practical PT st...

River Cooling Distances of the Xiang River in Hengyang: Spatiotemporal Evolution and Associated Factors Based on LCZ

Rapid urbanization has intensified the urban heat island (UHI) effect, yet the river cooling distance and its associated influencing factors remain poorly understood. We retrieved Land Surface Temperature (LST) from Landsat imagery and mapped Local Climate Zones (LCZs) using the...

Cdc42 in Tumor Hypoxia: Molecular Mechanisms of Cellular Adaptation

Tumor hypoxia is a hallmark of solid tumors that promotes aggressiveness and resistance to therapy. Within hypoxic tumors, hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-dependent transcriptional programs drive metabolic reprogramming, lactate accumulation, extracellular acidosis, angiogenesis,...

The Association Between Energy Balance and Body Composition Changes in Recruits During Marine Corps Basic Training

Background/Objectives: United States Marine Corps (USMC) recruit training (“boot camp”) is a physically demanding environment in which recruits often experience significant changes in body composition. Energy balance (EB) plays a critical role in shaping these outcomes, yet how E...

CA-SBA-2914H: Archaeological site record for CA-SBA-2914H

This document is an archaeological site record for CA-SBA-2914H. It contains three recording events.

Cold test passed — no gasp under the pool shower

The author tested the breathing mechanism described in the series After Buteyko, from No. 1, The invisible breath, to No. 7, Shock value, three years before he wrote it down. The test took place in 2023 at a small village swimming pool, under the cold shower that every bather pas...

Detection of Hydrogen Spillover Over Pt Catalysts Supported on UiO‐66‐NO 2 Under Practical Conditions and the Corresponding Ligand Effect

The existence and the roles of hydrogen spillover in heterogeneous catalysts under practical conditions are still under debate. This is particularly true for metal catalysts supported on metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs). Here, we prepared a Pt/UiO‐66‐NO 2 catalyst and a Pt/UiO‐66‐...

Solving Three-Dimensional Conformable Partial Differential Equations Using the Quadruple Sumudu Transform Decomposition Method

In this work, we introduce the conformable quadruple Sumudu transform and employ it in conjunction with the Adomian decomposition method to solve three-dimensional linear and nonlinear conformable partial differential equations. We establish the existence of the proposed transfor...

Explicit Rotation and Arithmetic Obstructions for Null Chains on a Lorentz Ellipsoid

For the ellipsoid x^2/a + y^2/b + z^2/c = 1 in Minkowski space, we compute the positive unreduced rotation lift of the equator return map formed by alternating null geodesics. Put A = 2 integral from 0 to pi/2 of sqrt((a sin^2(t) + b cos^2(t))/(c + a sin^2(t) + b cos^2(t))) dt. A...

SGLT2-mediated glucose uptake defines early metabolic reprogramming in lung adenocarcinoma

Abstract The metabolic reprogramming taking place during early lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) progression remain poorly understood. While early-stage LUAD frequently demonstrates low 18F-2-fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG) uptake on positron emission tomography (PET), it is unclear whether...

Concentration, Positional Persistence, and Institutional Mobility Across Five Major Public Research Funding Systems

This study compares the concentration, positional persistence, institutional mobility, and performance associations observed in five major public research funding systems: NSF, NSFC, JSPS, NSERC, and NSTC. Institution-year funding records are linked to SciVal indicators, while ex...

Ice nucleation by kaolinite: Morphology shapes the size dependence of ice nucleation active sites on dust particles

Mineral dusts are the most important type of ice-nucleating particles and play a key role in cloud formation and climate. Their activity is commonly assumed to scale with particle surface area, yet whether this assumption holds across particle sizes remains unverified. Here, we q...
