Enhanced Road Crack Segmentation Using Self-Supervised Learning in Motion-Blurred Images

Abstract With the increasing deployment of autonomous inspection platforms [e.g., unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and robots], the segmentation performance of learning-based road inspection methods is facing severe challenges due to motion blur. In response, an innovative image s...

“It's Not Equality, …It's Not Humanizing:” Content‐Area Teachers' Tensions Between CCR Curriculum and Linguistically Responsive Professional Development

Abstract This qualitative study explores how secondary content‐area teachers of emergent bilingual (EB) students navigate tensions between linguistically responsive professional development (PD) and the implementation of state‐mandated College and Career Readiness (CCR) curricula...

Au Single‐Atom Interlayer Bridge Promotes Cross‐Layer Charge Transport and Intrinsic Catalytic Dual‐Sites Activation for Efficient CO 2 Photoreduction

ABSTRACT Layered photocatalysts are attractive for artificial photosynthesis, but their performance is often limited by inefficient charge transport across interlayer gaps and sluggish surface reaction kinetics. Herein, we propose a single‐atom interlayer bridge strategy by intro...

Morphology and Phylogeny of Hyalinostachys dehongensis sp. nov., a Bambusicolous Species From Yunnan Province, China

China has abundant bamboo resources, among which Yunnan Province is one of the regions with the greatest number of species. The unique natural and geographic advantages provide an excellent environment for fungal growth. This study collected and isolated saprobic hyphomycetes ass...

Towards a Unified Cosmology: The Vortex Network as the Foundation of Space-Time, Matter and Energy

We present a new cosmological model where spacetime, matter, dark energy, and dark matter emerge from a single underlying structure: a dynamic network of energy vortices. This network, governed by a chirality (χ) principle, resolves the tensions of the Standard Model (ΛCDM) by na...

Erdős–Straus Project Archive: Residual Divisor Shells, Quotient Surpluses, and Finite Verification

This record gathers the Erdős–Straus project under its existing concept DOI. The principal paper develops the residual divisor-shell equivalence and its origin counts and records the exact certificate p = 12289, R = 11, m = (3,6,3). It proves the Star–Kneser quotient-surplus theo...

Comprehensive NMR metabolomic profiling reveals a pro-atherogenic signature in psoriasis

Abstract Psoriasis (PS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with cardiometabolic comorbidity. While systemic inflammation is recognized as a major driver of this risk, metabolomic signatures linking PS to cardiometabolic dysfunction remain incompletely defined. The...

Mixed Feelings: Asian Mirrors in the Analytic Dyad

This paper traces how the author’s mixed-race Asian American identity actively enters and transforms the analytic encounter. Drawing from two treatments with Asian patients – one a Chinese woman struggling to form a coherent sense of self, the other a Korean American man whose cr...

Super-resolution downscaling of WRF-based typhoon wind fields over complex coastlines using a decoupled physics-guided U-Net

Accurate kilometer-scale typhoon wind fields are important for coastal hazard assessment, but Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)-based dynamical downscaling remains computationally expensive, while traditional statistical methods often fail to capture localized topographic ef...

Neonatal Skin Blistering and Denudement Caused by Epidermolysis Bullosa

The presented case of sharply localized neonatal blistering caused by autosomal dominant dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa due to a COL7A1 mutation illustrates the diagnostic challenges and clinical reasoning required in evaluating skin fragility disorders. It reinforces that epid...

Rhodium-Catalyzed C–H Functionalization Enabling Divergent Heterocycle Syntheses

Abstract Direct C–H bond functionalization represents a facile synthetic strategy that adheres to the principle of atom economy. Among a variety of metal catalysts, rhodium catalysts demonstrate distinctive advantages owing to their excellent reactivity. This account summarizes o...

PanEuCOPT-01: Photodynamic Inactivation of fungal mycelial spheres of plant-pathogenic Botrytis cinerea

This protocol describes an assay for Photodynamic Inactivation of the plant-pathogenic filamentous fungal species Botrytis cinerea. Grey mold ( B. cinerea ) occurs worldwide and affects over 200 different crops. Several resistant strains of the species have been collected on fiel...

Climatic niche divergence and high‐elevation adaptation promoted rapid diversification of Pimoa spiders in Pan‐Himalaya

The Pan‐Himalayan region harbors exceptional biodiversity, yet the origins and underlying mechanisms driving this remarkable diversity remain poorly understood, especially among species‐rich invertebrates. Pimoa spiders exhibit an intercontinental disjunct distribution across thr...

Structural Compatibility as a Derived Condition The Non-Primitive Ontological Status of C in Field-Network Theory

Description This paper develops the ontological foundations of Field-Network Theory by examining the status of structural compatibility. Earlier formulations represented compatibility as a separate operator constraining possible events. The present work argues that no independent...

Overcoming Mechanical and Economic Barriers in Alternative Fusion Reactor Designs: A Comprehensive Engineering Framework

As classical magnetic confinement (Tokamak) systems face persistent scalingand latency challenges, alternative architectures such as Magnetized Target Fusion(MTF) using liquid metal pistons and Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) presentviable pathways to net-positive energy. Howev...

Stromal Cells Recruitment by Sono‐Piezoelectric/Pyroelectric Peptide Hydrogels Promotes Bone Regeneration After Postsurgical Osteosarcoma Recession: A Real‐World‐Matched Study

ABSTRACT Currently, the elimination of postsurgical osteosarcoma (OS) and defect repair are still separately explored, which is unlike real‐world clinical scenarios. Inadequate bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) compromise their repair and antitumor efficiencies. Here, PFSSTKT (PF...

Preregistration of the Categorial-Gap Trial: the modal coincidence between Positive No-Ground and Ethical Ontology, Volume I

Conditions fixed in advance for a trial of the corpus's own novelty claim. Positive No-Ground determines the common as possibilising necessitation and the locus of answerability as singularising necessarisation; Ethical Ontology, Volume I determines the who as their modal coincid...

Multi-Level Characteristics of Consumption-Driven Virtual Water Flows: Sustainability Insights from the Pearl River Delta Urban Agglomeration
