Toward In Situ ProgrammingLigand Desorption/AdsorptionDynamics of Metal Nanoparticles in Electrocatalysis

Abstract Ligand effects represent a long-last dilemma in metal nanocatalysis, as organic ligand coordination inevitably blocks active metal sites while maintaining structure stability of nanoparticles. To tackle this challenge, we demonstrate herein a supramolecular interaction-a...

Proper board succession planning helps develop leadership pipelines, smooth transitions

Experts in nonprofit governance assert that having a formal board succession plan in place is key to ensuring smooth transitions between outgoing and incoming board members. But unfortunately, many nonprofits don't commit the time and energy to this aspect of their operations, le...

Band‐Selective, Low‐Dispersion Terahertz Attenuators Based on 3D Bulk Metamaterials Leveraging De‐latticed Cross‐Bar Resonator Ensembles

ABSTRACT Terahertz (THz) optical components for power attenuation and dispersion management require materials that provide isotropic and band‐selective control of electromagnetic waves. However, two‐dimensional (2D) metasurfaces based on coherent lattice coupling exhibit polariza...

Recent Advances in PLA Stereocomplexes: Synthesis, Modification, and Applications

Stereocomplexes derived from natural polylactides are an important class of renewable plastics. Although neat polylactides generally exhibit low elongation at break and low Young’s modulus, stereocomplex formation significantly enhances their thermal resistance and stiffness (rat...

Quantifying authenticity in historic districts: an integrated framework of morphological indicators and social perception based on Scenes Theory

Tourism commercialization poses growing challenges to the preservation of authenticity in historic districts. Current conservation practices often focus on physical spaces, yet may overlook the integrity of “Scenes” as an integration of material and intangible elements, potential...

Order-Sensitive Fast-Synapse Limits in Sparse Excitatory–Inhibitory Threshold–Reset Networks

Componentwise weak convergence of signed synaptic kernels does not, by itself, determine the fast-synapse limit of a sparse threshold–reset network. Within a causal event protocol with clamped refractoriness and smooth positive-delay kernels, we construct two families whose excit...

Meeting quality and employee well-being: determinants of meeting satisfaction, engagement and strain

Purpose Workplace meetings are integral to collaboration and performance in organizations, and the quality of these meetings significantly affects meeting satisfaction and attendees’ well-being. Although meeting research has identified key quality factors – such as design, time m...

Global Disparities in the Recreational Fishery Economy: A Systematic Review

Recreational fisheries contribute significantly to global economies through tourism, employment, and ecosystem service valorization. However, a systematic understanding of their economic magnitude and regional disparities remains fragmented. This study conducts a systematic revie...

Adding Value to Cassava Genetic Resources Conserved at CIAT—Part II: Fifty Years of Evaluation and Use of Landraces for Variety Development

For millennia, farmers in cassava’s homeland in the neotropics selected varieties suited to their climate, soils, biological environments, management systems, and nutritional needs. These actions were fundamental to the crop’s success as a reliable staple energy source. After the...

Using physiologically based pharmacokinetic modelling to optimize repaglinide and irbesartan dosing in Chinese population with SLCO1B1 polymorphism

Aim The first aim of this study was to develop physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models for irbesartan (IRB) and repaglinide (REP) and then apply the REP/IRB PBPK model to describe the drug–drug interaction (DDI) of REP and IRB in the population with SLCO1B1 c.521 T &g...

Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction of Curcumin Using a Deep Eutectic Solvent: Molecular Insights into the Extraction Mechanism

In this study, five levulinic acid-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were evaluated for the ultrasound-assisted extraction of curcuminoids from Curcuma longa. The relationship between DES composition, intermolecular interactions, and extraction performance was investigated by c...

Leadership for climate-resilient healthcare: insights from an ATACH technical meeting

Introduction Climate change is increasingly recognised as both a public health emergency and a systemic stressor on healthcare systems. While many healthcare organisations have articulated ambitious climate and sustainability commitments, progress is frequently constrained by gap...

Why digital hoarding behavior occurs when engaging with user-generated content on social media

Purpose Digital hoarding, characterized by the excessive accumulation of digital materials that clutters virtual spaces, has emerged as a pervasive psychological phenomenon and behavioral challenge among contemporary youth. The purpose of this research is to identify factors affe...

Development and validation of an amyloid PET dementia of the Alzheimer's type (DAT) score

Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) can be debilitating if left untreated, but its progression may be altered through early detection. Objective To develop and evaluate a convolutional neural network (CNN) for detecting AD from amyloid PET brain images and to investigate the regi...

Reframing risk management for AI-enabled medical devices: A dual-layer risk governance framework

Background AI-enabled medical devices introduce dynamic, data-dependent risks that challenge traditional safety-risk management frameworks. While ISO 14971, AAMI CR34971, and the EU Artificial Intelligence Act each address elements of device safety and algorithmic governance, the...
