Large language model-assisted design of electrospun bioplastics

Addressing the dual challenges of plastic waste and materials efficiency is critical for advancing sustainability. Here, a biodegradable electrospun polymer formulation was identified through a domain-adapted large language model (LLM) workflow and examined experimentally as an i...

Encircling NATO: the evolution of Russia’s power-projection in the MENA region, 2011–2025

During the previous decade, Russia’s revisionist aspirations have defied the United States and its NATO allies’ purposes to preserve their dominant position in the current distribution of power. Contemporary literature argues that Russia’s policies in the Middle East and North Af...

Conceptual Performance Analysis of Solid-Propellant Propulsion for Small Satellites

This study presents a conceptual and computational framework for evaluating solid-propellant propulsion for small-satellite missions. The methodology combines the rocket thrust equation, specific impulse, total impulse, and the ideal rocket equation to examine the relationships a...

“A beautiful chaos¨: a qualitative study on exploring the role of international communities of practice in knowledge translation for sexual and reproductive health and rights

Persistent knowledge-to-action gaps in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) limit the translation of evidence into policy and practice. Knowledge platform Share-Net International (SNI) uses Communities of Practice (CoPs) to support knowledge exchange, yet little is kn...

Association of cilioretinal artery perfusion length with central visual acuity and vascular circulation in central retinal artery occlusion

Abstract Purpose This study aims to investigate the effects of varying lengths of cilioretinal artery perfusion on central visual acuity and fundus angiography circulation time in patients with central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). Methods A retrospective analysis included 582...

Label-free optical biomarker for prostate cancer diagnosis

Reprogramming of cellular metabolism in cancer leads to changes in the activity of metabolic coenzymes NAD(P)H and FAD which can be used as markers of tumorigenesis and metastasis. NAD(P)H and FAD form coupled redox pair and regulator of mitochondrial energy metabolism. Since NAD...

Machine Learning Guided Meta-transcriptomics Reveals OsRPM1 as a Key Regulator of Rice Blast Resistance

Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae , is the most destructive fungal disease of rice, responsible for annual yield losses of 10–30% and posing a major threat to global food security. The rapid evolution of blast pathotypes and the polygenic nature of resistance complicate br...

Redox-Triggered Interfacial Reconstruction as an AnalyticalTransduction Mechanism for Optical Detection of Arsine with LiquidCrystals

Abstract Arsine (AsH3) is widely used in semiconductor manufacturing yet poses severe health risks, motivating sensitive on-site monitoring for personnel safety. We report a liquid crystal (LC)-based optical sensor that translates arsine-triggered surface chemistry into an orient...

Chlorine-mediated electrosynthesis of hydrazine from urea

Abstract Hydrazine is an important chemical widely used in fuels and emerging energy systems, but its industrial synthesis heavily relies on energy-intensive processes involving hazardous oxidants. Here we report a mild and energy-saving electrocatalysis process that enables effi...

Trait Plasticity in Herbivore Populations Maintains Geographic Patterns of Herbivory on a Dominant Plant Species Under Warming

ABSTRACT Across species' geographic ranges, local populations may enlist behavioral, physiological, and morphological plasticity together to cope with stress from changing thermal conditions. But if local populations cannot sufficiently adjust their phenotype, then they may fail...

Quantum Structural Theory of Harmony (QSTH 5.0 Revised) — The Entropic Clock Revisited

Description / Abstract QSTH 5.0 Revised — The Entropic Clock Revisited examines whether the readable ordering of physical change can be represented through an entropic-informational description of temporal readability. Rather than introducing a new physical time coordinate, the w...

Mindful gaming in a busy world: exploring the retro renaissance

Purpose Motivated by the increasing busyness of modern lives and the rise in video game adoption, this study aims to explore how a busy mindset affects consumers’ gaming preferences, highlighting the relevance of retro (nostalgic) gaming as a psychological coping mechanism and a...

EFKG: An Efficient and Fine-Grained Access Control Encrypted Knowledge Graph

As knowledge graphs are increasingly applied in sensitive domains such as healthcare, ensuring data confidentiality and fine-grained access control over outsourced graph data has become critical. In this paper, we propose EFKG, an Efficient and Fine-grained Access Control Encrypt...

More than 79.47% of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function are simple and on the critical line

This preprint presents a certified-candidate proof that, with ineffective constants, more than 79.47% of the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function are simple and lie on the critical line, and more than 89.73% lie on the critical line. Building on the "two-thirds theorem"...

Differential expression of TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3 across WHO grades in meningioma: convergent evidence from mRNA, methylation, miRNA, and protein analysis

Meningiomas show biological heterogeneity not captured by WHO grading alone. TGF-β signaling has been implicated in meningioma pathobiology, yet a systematic, grade-stratified, isoform-resolved characterization of TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3 across transcriptional, epigenetic, pos...

Multicystic renal dysplasia with ureteral anomaly and arteritis in a C3-deficient mouse

/J (C3 knockout) mouse presented with abdominal distension and reduced general condition. The animal was euthanized and submitted for necropsy. Gross examination revealed marked dilation of the left kidney and ureter, both containing clear fluid consistent with urine and a focal...

Isolated Diastolic Hypertension and Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Young Adults

BACKGROUND: Whether isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH) in young adults represents a benign, age-specific phenotype or confers increased cardiovascular disease risk remains uncertain. We assessed the associations between hypertension subtypes, IDH, isolated systolic hypertensio...

Advancing modified epoxy asphalts from derived waste PET: effects of base asphalt types on fuel resistance joint sealant performance

The performance and fuel resistance of modified epoxy asphalt with carboxyl-terminated poly(ethylene terephthalate) (CTPET) and amine hardeners were investigated. Three asphalt types, AC40/50 (40#), AC60/70 (60#), and a polymer-modified asphalt (M#) were chosen for an extensive c...

FacilitatingJ-Aggregate Formation by LoweringActivation Energy to Achieve Ultrahigh Brightness for NIR-II FluorescenceImaging and Photoacoustic Imaging

Abstract Organic fluorophores operating in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 900–1700 nm) are plagued by low quantum yields (QYs) and diminished brightness in aqueous media. To address this challenge, we proposed a strategy of regulating the activation energy for aggregate...
