What Could ‘Manchesterism’ Mean?: Infrastructural Citizenship for Civic Renewal

ABSTRACT Local infrastrucutre is a lens through which citizens materially experience the actions of the state. Drawing on the concept of 'infrastructural citizenship', this paper explores how shared spaces can shift from sources of alienation to catalysts for trust. To anchor the...

Physical and electrochemical characterization of different ternary PtAuNi/MWCNT-N electrocatalysts for DMFC application

Over the years, researchers have observed the importance of developing efficient and durable electrocatalysts for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications. This study develops ternary PtAuNi/MWCNT-N catalysts, by varying gold concentration as 0%, 50% and 100%. The physicoche...

In-Plane Shear Behavior of Masonry Walls Strengthened with High-Ductility Concrete and Steel Connectors

This study investigates the influence of high-ductility concrete (HDC) strengthening configurations and steel connector positions on the in-plane shear performance of masonry walls in a retrofit scenario where the external masonry facade is retained while the original masonry wal...

Cobamide Fingerprinting Reveals Nutritional Diversity of Vitamin B12 in Edible Shellfish

In edible shellfish, vitamin B12 content has traditionally been evaluated based on total content; however, recent studies reveal substantial diversity in corrinoid composition among species. This review integrates molecular and ecological perspectives to reassess vitamin B12 leve...

Online-Channel Introduction and Residual-Capacity-Based Differentiated Pricing in Spent Power-Battery Recycling

This study investigates the effects of introducing a manufacturer-operated online recycling channel (hereafter “online channel”) and adopting a residual-capacity-based differentiated-pricing strategy in spent power-battery recycling. We develop a manufacturer-led Stackelberg game...

Suffering, Trauma, and Relational Integration: Re-Envisioning Spiritual Care and Psychoanalysis in a Decolonial Age

Spiritual care is summoned by suffering—by ‘wounds’ that are psychological, relational, spiritual, embodied, and political at once. As disciplines continue to be entrenched and siloed amidst the growing sociopolitical tensions and global crises in a decolonial age, what is at sta...

Alzheimer’s Disease Detection Using Combined EEG Source Connectivity and Microstate Features

Background/Objectives: Electroencephalography (EEG) connectivity and microstate analysis have shown great potential for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) diagnosis; however, their clinical application remains limited by the low spatial resolution of EEG and the lack of standardized micros...

An Adaptive Energy and Charging-Aware Routing Protocol for Electric Vehicles in the Internet of Vehicles

Electric vehicles are emerging as a sustainable alternative to conventional transportation. However, route planning in Internet of Vehicles environments remains challenging because conventional routing algorithms based on travel distance or time do not adequately consider electri...

Moderate aortic stenosis identified during intensive care admission for a non-cardiac primary diagnosis and 90-day mortality: a retrospective cohort study using the MIMIC-IV echocardiography database

Abstract Background Moderate aortic stenosis is associated with reduced survival in ambulatory cardiology populations, but its prognostic significance when identified during an intensive care admission for a non-cardiac primary diagnosis is unknown. We examined its association wi...

Developmentof Noval, Recyclable, and Tunable ArylImidazolium Salts with a Dual Brønsted–Lewis Acid Characteras Catalysts for the Copper(I)-Catalyzed Azide–Alkyne CycloadditionReaction (CuAAC)

Abstract The development of novel aryl imidazolium salts (ISs) with dual Brønsted–Lewis acid character represents a significant advancement in the field of green chemistry and catalysis. These imidazolium salts serve as efficient catalysts for the copper(I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne...

Easy come, easy go: non‐compliance, overwithholding and income tax revenue in Germany

Abstract This paper examines tax non‐compliance among individuals in Germany who were legally required to file a tax return but failed to do so. Using administrative tax data and simulation‐based analysis, we quantify the financial implications of non‐compliance for approximately...

Light‐Absorbing‐Layer‐Free Flash Lamp Annealing for High‐Throughput Fabrication of All‐Solution‐Processed Oxide Electronics

ABSTRACT Metal oxides exhibit high transparency across the visible spectrum, making them challenging to anneal via flash lamp annealing (FLA). Whether such materials can effectively absorb light and self‐heat remains debated. Conventional workarounds often involve light‐absorbing...

Revolt of 1857 In Hisar Region and Beyond: An Eyewitness Record of Sant Sahab Ram Rahad

The historiography of the Revolt of 1857 has been dominated by colonial archives and elite nationalist narratives, which have largely silenced peasant, artisanal, and rural voices. This article recovers the subaltern dimensions of 1857 by foregrounding the eyewitness account of S...

Field-Scale Simulation of CO2 Water-Alternating-Gas Enhanced Oil Recovery in a Mature Waterflooded, Low-Permeability, and Highly Heterogeneous Reservoir

Water flooding in low-permeability, highly heterogeneous reservoirs often causes a rapid increase in water cut and inefficient pressure maintenance because injected water preferentially flows through high-permeability channels. In this study, a field-scale compositional simulatio...

Whole-Genome Sequencing Identifies Potentially Causative Variants in SOX30, AKAP4, and RNF220 in Non-Obstructive Azoospermia

More than 70% of non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) cases remain idiopathic, and the underlying genetic causes need to be investigated. In this study, we aimed to identify genes and variants associated with the etiology of NOA. Two NOA patients from consanguineous families, with n...
