Service Operation Strategy Selection Based on the Vehicle–Battery Separation Model

The vehicle–battery separation (VBS) model, which encompasses battery leasing and swapping services (BLSs), can effectively address the adoption challenges of new energy vehicles (NEVs). To identify the optimal strategy for battery-swapping operators under this model, this paper...

The Fixation of Belief in Machines: Disciplined Contestation as an Alternative to Mutual Adversarial Oversight

Current approaches to artificial intelligence reliability are inspectional: opaque models are first trained, and their reliability is evaluated through interpretability, red-teaming, or oversight by equally opaque models. This generates an unaudited regress of overseers, as each...

Lattice dynamics and complete polarization analysis of Raman-active modes in LaInO 3

In this study, we present a comprehensive analysis of the Raman-active phonon modes in orthorhombic LaInO 3 based on a combination of polarization-angle resolved Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. By using backscattering from multiple crystallographic...

Dissociable Handwriting Domains in Parkinson's Disease?

BACKGROUND: Handwriting abnormalities in Parkinson's disease (PD) extend beyond classical micrographia and may involve multiple graphomotor domains with distinct clinical and mechanistic correlates. OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether distinct handwriting domains demonstrate disso...

Real-time monitoring of CAR T cell dynamics in tumor patient-derived organoids using the OrganoIDNet algorithm

Abstract Background Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) provide physiologically relevant 3D tumor models for preclinical drug testing, yet robust and automated methods to quantify dynamic responses to immunotherapies remain limited. OrganoIDNet is a deep learning-based image analysi...

CuFe Bimetallic Electrocatalyst for Low-Voltage Formaldehyde-Assisted Dual Hydrogen Production

Abstract An effective strategy to lower the operating voltage and system cost of water electrolysis for green hydrogen production is to couple the hydrogen evolution reaction with a kinetically facile oxidation reaction instead of the oxygen evolution reaction. Formaldehyde oxida...

Oral beta-D-glucan challenge to assess gut permeability in subjects receiving haemodialysis

Abstract Background Beta-D-glucan (BDG) levels are elevated in people receiving haemodialysis (HD), perhaps reflecting translocation of dietary BDG and gut-derived microbial products, and are a putative cause of HD-associated inflammation. BDG has been advocated as a marker of in...

Driving Style Recognition and Road-Safety Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Reproducible Data Architecture

Driving style, reflected in recurrent patterns of acceleration, braking, speed selection, following distance, gear use, and lane-changing behavior, plays an important role in road safety and is also associated with fuel consumption, emissions, passenger comfort, and vehicle wear....

Industrial Engineering and Non-Profit Governance: Bridging Operations Research, Legal Fiduciary Standards, and Faith-Based Integrity (V3.1)

This paper introduces an integrative framework that bridges industrial engineering, corporate governance law, and organizational ethics within non-profit and faith-based institutions. While classical operations research (OR) models prioritize cost reduction and throughput optimiz...

Land suitability assessment for irrigated lentil cultivation in Southwest Shewa Zone, Ethiopia using remote sensing, GIS, and the analytic hierarchy process

Sustainable expansion of irrigated agriculture requires accurate identification of suitable land areas based on biophysical conditions. This study evaluates land suitability for irrigated lentils cultivation in Southwest Shewa Zone, Ethiopia, using an integrated Remote Sensing (R...

Environmental Statecraft, Fragmented Authoritarianism, and Technocratic Governance: The Structure and Agency of China's Local Environmental Politics

ABSTRACT Local environmental politics in China is often said to be dominated by state‐controlled modes of multi‐level governance. However, top‐down governance is embedded within and transformed by local politics, adding complexity to governance practices and environmental outcome...

Analysis of UK small business entrepreneurs’ attitudes towards digitalization and sustainability

This study explores how small business entrepreneurs perceive digital technology and sustainability and examines how their attitudes toward digital technology shape their attitudes toward sustainable development. Data were collected from 385 small business owners in the United Ki...

Field efficacy of the pupal parasitoid Chouioia cunea Yang, 1989 (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) and selected insecticides for management of Hyphantria cunea (Drury, 1773) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) in hazelnut orchards

The fall webworm, Hyphantria cunea (Drury, 1773) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), is a destructive polyphagous pest that poses a serious threat to hazelnut production worldwide. Effective management strategies are critical for minimizing its economic impact. This study aimed to evaluate...

Self-tracking inequalities in public health: Mapping the landscape and identifying avenues for research

While extensive research has been conducted on self-tracking (using devices like smartwatches to monitor behaviours), few studies have investigated the question of inequalities within this area. This creates a critical knowledge gap at a time when self-tracking is rapidly expandi...

Enhancing class-imbalanced soil classification using an explainable tabular network and synthetic minority over-sampling framework

Accurate characterization of soil engineering properties is fundamental to effective infrastructure design; however, traditional soil classification approaches are resource-intensive, requiring extensive laboratory testing which affects road project budgets and timelines. Further...

Communicating, Interacting and Strategizing: Exploring the Situatedness of Strategy-Making

While a growing body of work has established that strategy is communicatively constituted through talk, writing, narratives, documents, material artifacts and multimodal interactions, this literature remains dispersed across disciplinary traditions and publication outlets. This s...

Synergistic N-Vacancy and S-Scheme Engineered CaF2/g-C3N4 Heterojunction for Photocatalytic Aromatic Phenol Degradation: DFT, Phytotoxicity, and Environmental Impact

Abstract Advanced oxidation technology using photocatalysis is widely regarded as a promising strategy for removing pollutants from wastewater. However, developing efficient visible-light-driven photocatalysts for practical applications remains a significant challenge. In this st...

Development of a multiplex real-time PCR assay with fluorescence probe-melting-curve analysis for one-tube detection of respiratory pathogens

Pathogens causing respiratory infections have reemerged globally since the COVID-19 pandemic. Rapid and accurate identification of respiratory pathogens is critical for diagnosis and treatment. In this study, we developed and evaluated a multiplex real-time PCR assay with a fluor...

Towards some conjectures by Arnol’d

Abstract In this work, we focus on the study of the components of semilevel sets of pseudoperiodic functions. Specifically, we provide partial proofs of a conjecture proposed by V.I. Arnol’d in 1991, concerning the boundedness of such components. In pursuit of a complete answer t...
