A superelastic titanium alloy showing nearly temperature-independent high strength and elastic modulus

Lightweight superelastic alloys with temperature-insensitive properties are critical for deep-space exploration devices, yet their development is hindered by the challenge of simultaneously balancing strength, recoverable strain, and temperature sensitivity. Here, we overcome the...

Programming Ion‐Engineered Interphase for Practical Zinc Batteries Through Exogenous Cation‐Anion Synergy Chemistry

ABSTRACT A stable anode‐electrolyte interface is vital for battery cycling. Translating the successful anion‐derived interphase paradigm from Li‐ion to aqueous Zn‐ion batteries (ZIBs) is hindered by narrow electrochemical windows and chaotic interfacial reactions. Here we overcom...

Why Does Trying Harder Sometimes Make Us Function Worse? 1 Burnout, Conscious Endurance, and the Limits of Regulation

This preprint explores burnout through a neuropsychological lens, asking why increased effort can sometimes worsen functioning. It examines sustained cognitive and emotional load, reduced regulatory access, executive control, and recovery, framing burnout as a limit of regulation...

Algorithmic Randomness and Symmetry Breaking Limit Computation in Optimal Sphere Packings — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Algorithmic randomness and incompressibility in sphere packings reveal symmetry breaking as a fundamental limit of computation, with optimal packings in dimensions 8 and 24 linked to exceptional lattice structures. | MATH: Maximum packing densities: \(\pi/\sqrt{12} \appr...

Unveiling the effects of state capacity on energy diversification in developing countries

Despite increasing scholarly attention on the determinants of energy diversification, the importance of state capacity remains under-examined, especially in developing countries. In this paper, we analyze how the fiscal and legal dimensions of state capacity affect energy diversi...

Synergistic lethality of combination treatment with Trop2-directed antibody-drug conjugate sacituzumab govitecan and TRAIL agonists in triple negative breast cancer

Abstract Background Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) is an antibody drug conjugate targeting trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (Trop2) that is approved for treatment of patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing liga...

Maternal early warning system (MEWS) model for predicting and reducing severe maternal outcomes in Ethiopia

Background Maternal mortality in Ethiopia remains high, while most of these deaths are preventable. Early detection of deterioration and prompt response are essential to reduce these preventable deaths. The Maternal Early Warning System (MEWS) is a reliable clinical tool for this...

Pyrolysis of YellowPassion Fruit Peel Waste: A Routeto Bio-Oil and Value-Added Chemicals

Abstract This study explores the pyrolysis of yellow passion fruit peel, focusing on bio-oil yields and the chemical characterization of the resulting products under different temperature conditions of biomass drying (373, 378, and 423 K). The liquid product obtained from the pyr...

PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF THE HALP SCORE IN METASTATIC UROTHELIAL CARCINOMA TREATED WITH FIRST-LINE PLATINUM-BASED CHEMOTHERAPY

Objective: Metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) demonstrates substantial clinical heterogeneity, and outcomes may vary despite similar treatment approaches. The hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet (HALP) score has emerged as a potential prognostic biomarker reflecting...

Clinician–Artificial Intelligence Collaboration for Mediterranean Meal-Plan Generation: Development, Technical Feasibility, and Professional Acceptability of the MAI-DIET Framework

Background/Objectives: Adherence to the Mediterranean diet has declined in recent decades, highlighting the need for practical, technology-enabled tools to support its adoption. This study developed and evaluated MAI-DIET, a clinician-supervised, data-driven, AI-assisted programm...

Characterization and Fine Mapping of ds, a Recessive Dense-Spike Mutant Associated with Shortened Spike Axis and Increased Spikelet Number in Wheat

Spike density is an important component of wheat spike architecture and is determined by the combined effects of spike-axis elongation and spikelet number. In this study, we characterized an ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)-induced recessive dense-spike mutant, ds, which was obtained...

Independent Domination under Iterated Line Graphs: The Regular Case

Version 1.0.0. For a graph parameter P and a prolific graph G, Caro, Lauri and Zarb defined the index ind(P,G) as the first iterated line graph on which P exceeds its value on G. This preprint determines the independent-domination index on the class of connected regular graphs of...
