Soybean Seed Characterization and Discrete Element Parameter Calibration for Harvesting Simulation
Mulched drip irrigation is an important water-saving production system for soybean cultivation in arid and semi-arid regions. However, soybean materials harvested from this system exhibit specific physical characteristics, including relatively dry pods and seeds and high stem moi...

Although acetylcholine (ACh) released by the vagus nerve can stimulate enterochromaffin cells (ECs) to secrete 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), the precise regulatory mechanism underlying this process and its association with the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC) remain unclear....

The abc Landscape: Obstructions, Failed Routes, and HCT Diagnostics (DRAFT)
This paper systematizes a sequence of Frey-curve approaches to the abc conjecture and shows why they stop short — deliberately negative, but structural. The routes examined arose from theta products, Tate uniformisation, Tamagawa budgets, period lattices, modular degrees, level l...

Oxidative Electrochemical Coupling Between Bi and Mn in Rechargeable Alkaline MnO2 Cathodes
Abstract The Bi-modified MnO2 cathode is an enabling technology for rechargeable alkaline Zn batteries, which are under intense study for low-cost, sustainable, non-flammable grid-scale energy storage. Although the effect of Bi on MnO2 rechargeability has been known for decades,...

Abstract Herpes simplex virus (HSV) remains a pervasive global health concern and has the ability to challenge current therapeutic strategies because of its frequent recurrence and drug resistance. This research aimed to disrupt the critical interaction between the viral glycopro...
- Engineering & Technology
ABSTRACT Aqueous potassium‐ion batteries (APIBs) have emerged as compelling candidates for large‐scale energy storage owing to their intrinsic safety, cost‐effectiveness, and rapid ion‐transport kinetics. However, developing viable cathodes remains critical bottlenecks due to the...

Rural geography II: Bridging housing and homes in rural research
This report undertakes to bridge the notions of rural housing provision and homemaking, highlighting how structural conditions and lived experiences are mutually constitutive. Drawing on rural geography research, it explores how social relations, everyday practices, and engagemen...

Obsession in Love: A Psychobiographical Study of Gwen John’s Passion for Auguste Rodin
Gwen John (1876–1939) is now widely considered one of the best Welsh artists, though in her lifetime she lived largely in the shadow of two flamboyant and highly successful male artists – her younger brother Augustus John and her older lover, the world-renowned sculptor, Auguste...

A Dual-Criterion System for Surface-Localized States Identification: Application to Al(001) Surface
Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) clearly resolves surface-localized (SL) states, yet conventional density functional theory (DFT) band structures from slab calculations do not readily distinguish weakly confined SL states on surfaces such as Al(001), as tradition...
