Rational Design for Crosslinked and Pried‐Open Redox‐Active Graphene Electrode Materials and High‐Performance Supercapacitors

Developing high‐performance graphene‐based electrode materials through rational structural design remains a critical challenge for advanced supercapacitors. In this work, a unique molecule (DAPTO) featuring four carbonyl groups and a conjugated backbone was screened and successfu...

Converting identity into political capital in Indonesia’s decentralized democracy

Identity politics has become an increasingly prominent feature of local electoral competition in post-Reformasi Indonesia. While previous studies have primarily examined religion, ethnicity, and regional identity as independent determinants of electoral behavior, limited attentio...

Bridging the molecular gap in one of the world’s most endemic earthworm faunas through a strategic roadmap from India

Earthworms are vital ecosystem engineers that sustain soil health and agricultural productivity. India harbors 497 described species (approximately 8.4% of global diversity), with nearly 71% endemism; however, this diversity remains poorly characterized at the molecular level. DN...

From Sustainability Outcomes to Firm Value: Outcome Verifiability in Multi‐Tier Sustainable Supply Chains

ABSTRACT Sustainability investments in supply chains are positively associated with firm value on average, yet their effects remain heterogeneous. This paper argues that a critical and undertheorized source of this heterogeneity arises after environmental and social (E/S) outcome...

Perioperative Care of Cancer Patients Treated with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: Current Evidence and Clinical Considerations—A Scoping Review

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have moved from the metastatic setting into neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and fully perioperative strategies across several solid tumors. This shift has created a new clinical interface between medical oncology, surgery, anesthesia, pathol...

Provider-Identified strategies to address homelessness in Arizona: a summary of strategies, evidence, and impact

Few sources have reviewed the state of the evidence on commonly implemented and emerging strategies to prevent and respond to homelessness in the United States. We conducted focus groups with 58 homeless service providers and administrators across Arizona about strategies used to...

Gravitational Manipulation Theory v2.3 — Multi-Apparatus Information Sufficiency and Minimum-Record Robustness

GMT v2.2 established, for a single Controlled Synthetic Apparatus (CSA), a minimum record for reconstructing a precision-force constraint: operator sufficiency at L*_operator = I2 and a minimum sufficient set I_min = I4. That result was representative-class and was explicitly not...

Visualising an emerging diaspora

This visual essay uses photovoice to explore how Israeli migrants negotiate questions of identity and belonging within an emerging diasporic community in the Alentejo region of Portugal. Twelve women were invited to document their daily experiences through photography and to enga...

Diabetes-Related Foot Ulceration as a Biological and Clinical Continuum: An Integrative Review of Risk, Chronicity, Multimodal Care, Nursing, and Recurrence Prevention

Diabetes-related foot ulceration is a progressive and recurrent complication in which neurological, vascular, biomechanical, metabolic, inflammatory, microbial, behavioral, and health-system factors interact across time. This integrative narrative review critically synthesizes ev...

Beta-lactam antibiotics have immunomodulatory effects in vitro, including changes consistent with sepsis-induced immunosuppression

Abstract Introduction Sepsis is associated with immunosuppression, predisposing patients to secondary infections. Many treatments routinely used for infections have immunomodulatory effects, including antibiotics. We therefore assessed the immunomodulatory effects of beta-lactam...

Clinical experience and safety of catheter-directed thrombolysis using monteplase for acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis: a retrospective single-center analysis

Abstract Iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is associated with an increased risk of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS), despite anticoagulant therapy. However, since the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, no thrombolytic agent has been available under the national health insuranc...

Combined Effects of Peracetic Acid and Pulsed Light on Salmonella Typhimurium Inactivation

Abstract Due to the potentially severe implications of pathogenic Salmonella in contaminated food products, especially in fresh and ready-to-eat products, there is a need for alternative microbial intervention methods. This study investigates the effectiveness of combining pulsed...

A student-led living laboratory as work-integrated learning: an action research study of professional identity development in Malaysian higher education

Purpose Higher education faces a growing imperative to develop graduates who possess not only academic expertise but also the resilience and practical readiness demanded by today’s complex professional landscapes. While work-integrated learning (WIL) is commonly advocated to brid...

Sustainable gamma radiation–assisted synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles on acrylic fabric for durable antibacterial and UV-protective performance

This study demonstrates the successful synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on acrylic (PAN) fabrics via gamma radiation. PAN fabrics were padded with an alkaline zinc nitrate solution of 0.1 and 0.2 M, before treatment with 2% w/v of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). Gamma r...

A multicenter pilot study of nivolumab with drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization in patients with liver-limited hepatocellular carcinoma

Background Drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization (deb-TACE) is a standard for liver-limited, locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and may enhance response to immune checkpoint inhibition through tumor immune microenvironment modulation. We evaluated nivolum...

Improving few-shot stance detection with MINE: meta-prompting and in-context N-shot examples

Abstract Stance detection aims to identify an author’s stance toward a target topic. Although recent prompting-based methods enable zero- and few-shot stance detection with large language models (LLMs), they often require extensive prompting or costly use of multiple LLM agents,...

Spiral Random Walk-Enhanced Puma Optimizer for Side Lobe Suppression and Null Control in Array Antenna Design

This study proposes a spiral random walk enhanced puma optimizer (SRW-PO) for array antenna design. The method preserves the hunting and ambush search structure of the classical puma optimizer (PO) while embedding two complementary mechanisms into its update process. The adaptive...

This preprint presents the author’s archive of research materials published on the CALAMEO digital publishing platform. The archive includes books, articles, preprints, research notes, educational materials, and numerical studies in seismic exploration, geophysics, applied mathem...

From Seaweed to Corrosion Inhibitor: A Multi-MethodValidation of λ-Carrageenan as a Non-Toxic Inhibitorunder Acidic Hydrodynamic Conditions

Abstract Corrosive processes are responsible for direct and indirect costs in industrial systems, which can be mitigated by corrosion inhibitors. The awareness of environmental risks has motivated sustainable approaches, such as naturally derived biopolymers, due to low toxicity...

Gamified learning across academic stages: a developmental perspective on motivation, collaboration, and identity in computer engineering education

Research on gamification in higher education has expanded significantly; however, limited attention has been paid to how students’ experiences with gamified learning evolve across academic stages and processes of disciplinary identity development. This study compares perceptions...
