Sustainable Energy Harvesting Using 3D Printed Self-Healing Cellulose-Derived Composites Reinforced with Yeast and Graphene

Abstract Development of sustainably processed ecofriendly composites is essential for advancing environmentally responsible 2D material-based flexible electronic platforms. Here, we present a PVA/CMC-YG layered composite, a lightweight and mechanically robust carboxymethyl cellul...

Integration of Nascent Transcriptomes and Cross-Species Atlases Reveals Evolutionary Barriers in Transcriptional Kinetics During Mammalian Hibernation

Mammalian hibernation requires extensive metabolic remodeling, but traditional transcriptomic approaches cannot distinguish between mRNA synthesis and degradation, leaving the evolutionary barriers governing its transcriptional control unclear. To address this, we integrated nasc...

Senescence-Associated Transcriptome Reversal Prioritizes Repurposing Candidates for Diabetic Kidney Disease: A Computational Study

Background/Objectives: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a leading cause of end-stage kidney disease, and cellular senescence is a tractable therapeutic target; yet prioritizing credible repurposing candidates is difficult because bulk-tissue senescence signals are weak, single-da...

Exclusive Breastfeeding Among Infants Younger Than 6 Months in Zambia

This cross-sectional study compares rates of exclusive breastfeeding among infants aged 0 to 5 months in Zambia, using data from 2013 to 2024, and disaggregates changes by infant, maternal, and geographic factors.

Well-posedness and polynomial decay for Rao–Nakra sandwich beam with memory and Kelvin–Voigt damping

Abstract In this paper, we investigate the well-posedness and long-term behavior of a Rao–Nakra sandwich beam model with two different damping mechanisms. The top layer is subjected to memory-type damping, described by a relaxation kernel that satisfies standard positivity and de...

Latent clinical trajectories in chronic spontaneous urticaria identified via mobile health monitoring

Abstract Background Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is characterized by recurrent wheals and/or angioedema persisting for more than six weeks. CSU significantly impairs quality of life, with disease burden closely linked to disease activity and disease control. Methods This r...

E8 Spectral Discriminant: 132Hz as Number Field Invariant Boundary — E8 Intelligence Research

The 72-root F₄ subsystem's minimal rotational eigenmode generates 132Hz through a boundary condition that acts as a spectral discriminant for algebraic integer rings. The 240 E8 roots, when projected through the golden ratio coupling φ, form a harmonic lattice whose class group s...

Electromagnetic Localization 6-DoF Pose Estimation with TGNet-Guided Initial Value Refinement

High-precision electromagnetic localization shows great promise for applications in medical treatment, embodied intelligence, entertainment, and gaming. However, six-degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) coil pose estimation is essentially a highly nonlinear inverse problem. Numerical iterat...

Progress in Anti-Obesity Drug Development: A Pharmacodynamics Perspective

Background/Objectives: Obesity is a chronic, multifactorial condition driven by complex neuroendocrine and metabolic pathways that limit the long-term success of lifestyle interventions. Pharmacotherapy has advanced from early monoaminergic agents to incretin-based and multi-rece...

Exploring the influence of the usage and adequate application of financial services on firm performance: Evidence from Malaysian SMEs

The usage of financial services is fundamental for the financial operation of SMEs. Prior studies have typified a range of financial services used by SMEs. However, evidence is inconclusive about the precise practices behind the usage of financial services and their influence on...

Hydrothermal valorization of fly ash for sustainable clay soil stabilization: Linking green cementitious chemistry with micromechanical performance

Abstract Sustainable use of industrial by‐products is essential to advancing circular economy strategies and reducing reliance on conventional cementitious binders. This study investigates the hydrothermal valorization of coal fly ash activated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for th...

Adenylyl Cyclase 9: A Maverick Signalling Act in Search of Plots

Cryo-electronmicroscopy has revolutionized the study of integral membrane proteins. In the case of adenylyl cyclase 9 (AC9)—one of nine transmembrane paralogues in mammals that produce the ubiquitous intracellular messenger cyclic AMP—the technique was instrumental in revealing t...

A geometry-aware Bi-level reduced-order model for state-field reconstruction and exergy-flux evaluation in closed wet cooling towers

Tube-bundle geometry governs the coupled airflow, evaporation, heat transfer, and pressure loss in closed wet cooling towers, making repeated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations costly for design under uncertain ambient conditions. This study develops a geometry-aware...

Construction of Porous Aromatic Frameworks by Organic Cage Building Blocks for Organic Vapor Adsorption and Ethanol/Water Separation

Abstract Three-dimensional porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) possess high specific surface areas and interconnected pore channels, holding great promise for applications in adsorption and separation. To expand the library of building blocks for PAFs and enrich their topological d...

An Architecture-Level Framework for Earth–Moon Reference-Clock Modeling, Timing Compensation, and PNT Sensitivity Analysis

Accurate characterization and compensation of Earth–Moon reference-clock differences are important for cislunar positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) architectures. This study develops an integrated analytical framework that connects modeled Earth–Moon timing differences, com...

Promoting Agricultural Green Productivity Through Geographical Indication Certification: Mechanisms and Spatial Heterogeneity

Agricultural green transformation is important for achieving economic growth and environmental sustainability. Geographical indication agricultural products (GIAPs) have become a useful tool for improving agricultural green total factor productivity (AGTFP). However, the mechanis...

Human factor H-related protein 5 modulates the classical and lectin complement pathways on selected host ligands

Abstract C4b-binding protein (C4BP) and factor H (FH) are the main soluble negative regulators of the classical/lectin (CP/LP) and alternative (AP) complement pathways, respectively. They do not only act in solution but also interact with host ligands such as C-reactive protein (...

Accelerated forgetting in memory clinic patients with subjective cognitive decline: Results from a 7-day follow-up long-term retrieval assessment

BackgroundSubjective cognitive decline (SCD) is recognized as an early indicator of preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, individuals with SCD do not exhibit cognitive impairment on standard neuropsychological tests. Accelerated forgetting (AF) has been reported in indiv...
