Joint Optimization of Multi-Port Berth Allocation and Ship Lock Scheduling in River–Sea Direct Transport

River–sea direct transport systems emerging along the Pinglu Canal connect coastal and inland port clusters through shared lock facilities. When berth and lock resources are planned independently, uneven port workloads, mismatched vessel flows, and avoidable waiting may arise. Th...

Organizational virtue is associated with individual virtue in the context of conflict

Flourishing requires the cultivation of virtue amid conflict and is facilitated across various levels, from individuals and relationships, to organizations and cultures. However, most research has focused on personal or dyadic dynamics of well-being, often ignoring organizational...

Synergistic cerium oxalate decahydrate-polyaniline nanocomposite fabricated by facile hydrothermal method for high performance supercapacitors

Composites based on rare earth compounds and conducting polymers are widely explored in the field of supercapacitors due to their high pseudocapacitive contribution. In this work, cerium oxalate decahydrate-polyaniline (CeOX–PANI) composite was synthesized by integrating polyanil...

Epistemological Anatomy: A Conceptual Framework for Understanding Anatomical Knowledge

Anatomy is often regarded as settled knowledge. Yet anatomical propositions differ enormously in their evidentiary foundations, while textbooks and atlases frequently present them with similar certainty. How, then, does an anatomical observation become anatomical knowledge? We in...

Comparison of data-driven and numerical weather prediction models for rainfall nowcasting in major cities of Bangladesh

Flood-prone Bangladesh requires accurate short-term rainfall prediction, yet conventional numerical weather prediction (NWP) models remain computationally intensive and regionally limited in skill. This study evaluates and compares four deep learning (DL) architectures — Simple L...

Leaders remember the little things

I really admire the leaders of the hospital where I volunteer. I sometimes work at the front desk in the professional building where the administrators have their offices. When they pass me, they always speak to me. They’re really friendly, not just to me, but to everyone.

Analytical Evaluations of Limitations of Phenobarbital as 1 st -Line Therapy in Acute Neonatal Seizures: Comparison Assessment with Newer Antiepileptics

Background : Acute neonatal seizures are among the most common neurological emergencies during the neonatal period and are associated with increased mortality and long-term neurodevelopmental impairment. Phenobarbital has remained the conventional first-line antiseizure medicatio...

Multi period MINLP framework for optimal operation of active distribution networks with integrated EVs and demand side management

Abstract This paper introduces a complete stochastic optimization framework for optimal operation of Active Distribution Networks (ADNs), taking into account the coordinated integration of Diesel Generator (DG), Renewable Energy Sources (RESs), Battery Energy Storage Systems (BES...

Integrity Diagnostics for Cross-Silo Federated Deepfake Speech Detection Under Heterogeneity and Poisoning

Cross-silo deepfake speech detection must accommodate organizations that observe different attack profiles and channel conditions while avoiding routine centralization of raw speech. We study federated learning (FL) for a compact detector combining linear-frequency cepstral coeff...

Biopolymer Silica Hybrids as Superior Nanocarriers for Anticancer Drug Delivery

Abstract Liposomal carriers are widely used for anticancer drug delivery due to their biocompatible nature in the biological milieu. Liposome-based drugs often face premature leakage, uncontrolled release, and insufficient control over long-term drug availability. Here, we presen...

Renal trauma in a pediatric Level 1 trauma center: morbidity, mortality, and the role of renal scintigraphy

Abstract Purpose Pediatric renal trauma is uncommon but potentially serious, and is often managed conservatively. Complications may occur, and the clinical value of renal scintigraphy during follow-up remains unclear. This study aimed to assess morbidity and mortality after pedia...

Soil seed bank diversity, composition, and structure along vertical soil layers in Libo Kemkem District, Northwestern Ethiopia

Anthropogenic pressures have severely degraded Ethiopia’s dry Afromontane forests. Conversely, how continuous degradation affects vertical soil seed banks (SSB) and floristic matching in unmanaged communal remnants remains poorly understood. This study addresses this knowledge ga...

Cross-party perspective getting, identity, and support for electoral fairness: who can persuade?

A worrisome characteristic of polarization in the United States is public ambivalence, or even opposition, to democratic norms such as fair elections. Past research has found that perspective getting – outparty individuals sharing experiences about how they are affected by norm v...

DNA methylation differences between female and male X chromosomes in human brain

Abstract Background DNA methylation is a key epigenetic mechanism of sex chromosome regulation. However, DNA methylation studies often exclude X chromosomes. Moreover, widely used DNA methylation assays interrogate biased subsets of CpGs, rather than assessing CpGs across the who...

Monolithic Intrinsic-Capacitance Bootstrapped Inverter in E-Mode GaN-on-SOI: Design, Analysis, and Electro-Thermal Characterization

This paper presents, analyzes, and experimentally validates a bootstrapped inverter implemented via low-voltage enhancement-mode HEMTs offered by a 200-V E-mode GaN-on-SOI monolithic platform. Unlike conventional resistor–transistor logic (RTL), the proposed topology exploits int...

A Fight for All Women: Social Change as a Framework for Meaning Among Professionals Working With Gender-Based Violence Survivors

Research on work with survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) has primarily focused on its emotional burden and implications for practitioners' well-being. This study explores how professionals working in GBV services experience and make sense of their work, drawing on 23 interv...

Multiple roles of Waffen-SS non-commissioned school(s). Activities of SS- und Waffen-Unterführerschule Laibach in Slovenia, 1943–45

This article, based on the analysis of archival documents and literature, deals with the hitherto unknown history and activities of the SS- und Waffen-Unterführerschule Laibach, which was one of the non-commissioned officers’ schools of the Waffen-SS, garrisoned in Ljubljana (Slo...

Ratio-optimized NiCo scaffolding integration with biomass-derived carbon for efficient lithium-ion battery performance

Biomass-derived carbon-supported transition-metal hydroxides are promising anode materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Optimizing the morphology and transition-metal molar ratio of layered double hydroxide (LDH) enhances sustainability, redox activity, and...

Mapping mitochondria-associated research in inflammatory bowel disease

Background: Mitochondria-associated research has become increasingly prominent in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but its publication growth, collaboration structure, knowledge base, and thematic evolution have not been comprehensively quantified. Methods: Web of Science Core C...

A helix-loop-helix gene orchestrates male fate in common carp

Fish show exceptional diversity in sex-determination mechanisms, making them a powerful system for studying how these pathways evolve. However, no definitive master sex-determining gene has yet been identified in Cyprinidae, a widely distributed and species-rich fish family. Here...
