Internal-locking intramedullary nails (talons, claws, wings, wedge-locks, endopins): a mechanics-guided scoping review of designs, failure signatures, and technique imperatives

“Internal-locking” concepts—deployable talons/claws and tanged anchors, winged/wedge-wing head elements, blade-expandable and wedge-locked distal modules, inside-to-out internal distal locking pins (endopins), and shape-memory (nitinol) wings—aim to streamline intramedullary (IM)...

Nanostructured Zirconia-Based Aerogels for High-Temperature Thermal Insulation

Abstract Zirconia-based aerogels are lightweight, porous materials made up of interconnected zirconia nanoparticles, forming continuous three-dimensional nanoporous networks. Their high melting point, low density, high porosity, and low thermal conductivity make them promising ca...

Lower-crustal unzipping drives active orogenic deformation

The Apennines-Tyrrhenian Sea system allows us to investigate seismotectonics in coupled thrust belt and back-arc realms driven by subduction retreat, continental collision, and crustal delamination. Since the late Miocene, active extension has progressively migrated forelandward,...

The effects of Twiddle muff vs. physical restraints on facial emotions of hospitalized cognitively impaired persons

Several studies have reported adverse effects of physical restraints use. In the United Kingdom, the Twiddle muff has attracted attention as an alternative intervention, with similar reports in Japan. This study evaluated the effects of Twiddle muffs using artificial intelligence...

Efficacy and Safety of Baxdrostat in Hypertension: A GRADE-Assessed Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

BACKGROUND: Baxdrostat, a selective aldosterone synthase inhibitor, has emerged as a novel therapy for uncontrolled or resistant hypertension; however, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown variable results. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of baxdrostat co...

Lignin valorization orbiting pharmacological molecules and materials

This Perspective summarizes the research strategies, current challenges and potential directions for converting native lignin polymers into pharmaceutical molecules and materials.

Physics-Aware Enhanced Implicit Neural Representation with Multimodal Feature Fusion for Zero-Shot Super-Resolution of Complex Flow Fields

This study addresses the insufficient representation of key regions, such as shock waves and boundary layers, in classical implicit neural representations (INRs) for super-resolution reconstruction of complex aerodynamic flow fields. A physics-aware enhanced implicit neural repre...

Kinetic and Arrhenius modelling of banana quality loss for application in cold-chain management

Banana shelf life along tropical supply chains depends on the distinction between mature-green storage and warmer retail exposure, yet few studies have integrated both thermal regimes into a single predictive framework for ‘Prata’ bananas. This study evaluated temperature-depende...

КИБЕРПРЕСТУПНОСТЬ В УСЛОВИЯХ ГЛОБАЛЬНОЙ ЦИФРОВИЗАЦИИ: КРИМИНОЛОГИЧЕСКАЯ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКА, ДЕТЕРМИНАНТЫ И ИННОВАЦИОННЫЕ МЕТОДЫ ПРОФИЛАКТИКИ ПРАВОНАРУШЕНИЙ

Настоящая статья посвящена системному криминологическому и уголовно-правовому анализу феномена киберпреступности как одной из наиболее динамичных угроз национальной и международной безопасности. В работе исследуются ключевые детерминанты цифровой преступности, специфика личности...

Unified Manifold Tensor: A Multi‑Scale Deterministic Framework

The Unified Manifold Tensor (T_{\mu\nu}) acts as the master integration layer of the Hollin-Levine framework, bridging microscopic quantum vacuum curvature, crystallographic net-displacement deformation, and macroscopic nonlinear field saturation into a single deterministic model...

Assessment of Commercially Important and Herbivorous Fish Species Ten Years After the Akumal Fishery Refuge Zone Decree

Fishing Refuge Zones (FRZs) are intended to promote the recovery of exploited populations, but their ecological outcomes can be difficult to interpret on reefs where fisheries protection coincides with persistent habitat degradation, multiple local pressures, and limited implemen...

Engineering melanin nanoconjugates from rational synthesis to clinical translations

Melanin, a natural biopolymer, has become a very promising material for the development of multifunctional nanoconjugate due to its unique physicochemical properties, such as broadband UV-NIR absorption, redox activity, metal-chelating capacity, adhesive surface chemistry, and bi...

Reduced-Order Electrochemical Model for Coupled Three-Dimensional Flow Simulations of High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells

Abstract Accurate modeling of multiphysics systems presents significant computational challenges, particularly when addressing coupled transport phenomena across interfaces of multidomain systems with geometric complexities as in high-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane (HT-...

Bridging the Laboratory-to-Industry Gap: An International Project-Based Learning Model for Hydrogen Plant Conceptual Design

Abstract The global energy transition requires a workforce in the chemical sciences and engineering capable of bridging the laboratory-to-industry training gap. This paper presents an international joint Project-Based Learning (PBL) model involving undergraduate students from uni...

Business Strategy and Corporate Waste Outcomes: The Moderating Role of Board Gender Diversity

ABSTRACT Firm‐level drivers of corporate waste remain underresearched relative to other sustainability topics, such as carbon emissions and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure. Moreover, the role of female directors on corporate boards in this realm is also und...

Two new Orieosia Bucsek species discovered in Papua, Indonesia (Lepidoptera: Erebidae, Arctiinae, Lithosiini)

Two new species in the genus Orieosia Bucsek, 2012 have been discovered, O. waisimoni sp. n. and O. unipunctata sp. n. The species are described and the adults and genitalia are depicted. A tribute to wildlife conservationist Alex Waisimon is given.

Green–Kubo Memory and Irreversibility from Ordered Absorption

What dynamical information can be inferred when an experiment records only whether a system survives a controlled absorption protocol? Static state-dependent absorption is exactly blind to stationary time reversal, even when complete survival curves are known. We show that two or...

Microbial Conversion of Wetland Plants to Organic Acids for Reductive Bioleaching of Metals (Manganese, Iron, and Nickel): Review

This review focuses on invasive aquatic and wetland plants, such as cattail ( Typha latifolia ) L., common reed ( Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steud.), and water hyacinth ( Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms), as feedstocks for microbial production of organic acids used i...

The Assessment: Scoring an Agent Estate Before Someone Else Does

The maturity models exist. The assessment is the act of applying them honestly, and the first honest question about an agent estate is not what level are we, it is how many agents do we actually run. This paper walks the method end to end: discover the agents, inventory the three...

Subduction-driven erosion enhances carbon sequestration and climate cooling during ocean-to-continent transformation

Abstract How submerged oceanic domains trapped within growing continents become stable, subaerial continental interiors and what that conversion means for the long-term carbon cycle remain poorly understood. Traditional models of such ocean-to-continent conversion emphasize signi...
