Designing Novel Solar‐Blind Ultraviolet Nonlinear Optical Crystals Based on Local Proton Distribution Complementary Effect

ABSTRACT Dipolar π‐conjugated groups with large polarizability anisotropy and hyperpolarizability are generally regarded as important nonlinear optical (NLO) active building units. However, their strong dipole‐dipole interactions remain a key challenge in designing non‐centrosymm...

Novel knit-like woven denim fabrics rendering differential shrinkage Half-Knit piles; better comfort and durability to conventional denim

Stretchable denim fabrics offering comfort and aestheticists are an area of interest for textile engineering today. This study developed an innovative woven denim that retains the classic woven appearance on the face, while exhibiting knit-like loop structures on the back. Four s...

Outcomes of Moderate-to-Severe Traumatic Brain Injury in a Low-Resource Setting

Importance: No study from a low- and middle-income country (LMIC) has reported long-term mortality and quality of life (QOL) after moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (msTBI), highlighting its burden and recovery trajectories. Objectives: To measure short- and long-term mor...

Survival of the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris in harsh environments: Is this species a suitable model for testing tardigrade resistance to stress conditions?

Tardigrades are extremotolerant animals, and Hypsibius exemplaris has gained the position of a model species for many studies, including the investigation of different aspects of extremotolerance. However, its suitability may be questioned, especially when compared with the diffe...

The Tao of tango meets the dance of analysis

At first glance the dance of Argentine tango has nothing at all to do with Psychoanalysis or Jungian analysis. In this paper the author finds parallels between these disparate activities and examines them through a combination of theoretical and phenomenological lenses. The paths...

Chromatin Remodelling Complexes in Plant Adaptation to Abiotic Stress: Mechanisms and Perspectives

As sessile organisms, plants have evolved elaborate epigenetic regulatory networks to adapt to a wide range of abiotic stress. Chromatin remodelling is a core epigenetic regulatory mechanism that refers to the process by which chromatin remodelling complexes mediate dynamic chang...

Moment-Net: A New Moment-Matching Neural Network for Pose Estimation

Determining a spacecraft's pose is an important task for autonomous navigation. Conventional AI systems rely on peak detection and look only for the most intense pixel. Consequently, the tracking image frequently suffers from peak flattening in the presence of blur or other distu...

The Knowledge-to-Practice Gap in Safe Lifting and Biomechanical Risks as Determinants of Musculoskeletal Disorders in Manual Material Handling

This study investigated the complex interfaces between knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP); biomechanical risks; and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among heavy manual handling workers. A cross-sectional study surveyed 99 industrial manual lifting workers within manufacturing...

Sequence‐encoded determinants drive distinct early aggregation pathways and different structural outcomes in PNT1 fibrils across Henipavirus members

Protein aggregation is increasingly recognized as a biologically relevant process in viral proteins, yet the molecular determinants governing such phenomena remain poorly understood. Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are ubiquitous in viral proteomes, where conformational...

A community anchored integrated care pathway to address alternate level of care designation for older adults

Purpose This study aims to examine Alternate Level of Care (ALC) pressures in Ontario as a health system design issue rather than solely a hospital flow problem, and to propose a Community-Anchored Integrated Care Pathway that addresses upstream determinants contributing to delay...

Paired functional screening reveals GMI‑modulated drug response behavior in heterogeneous tumor models

Tumor drug sensitivity is often evaluated under static experimental conditions despite the dynamic biological environments that influence therapeutic response. Here, we established a paired ex vivo functional screening framework to evaluate modulation-dependent drug-response beha...

Influenceof Chalcogen Bonding on Lattice Dynamicsin Isostructural Molecular Solids

Abstract Solid-state lattice dynamics can significantly impact the expression of material properties in crystalline molecular materials, complicating crystal engineering efforts that approach materials design from a primarily static structural picture. While noncovalent interacti...

Is green the new normal? Understanding current sustainability practices in European residential property lending

Purpose The article studies how environmental sustainability impacts lending processes and conditions in the European residential credit markets, shaping the current green lending (GL) practices. Design/methodology/approach This study adopts an abductive research process with fiv...

Associations between the Pathway to Excellence® framework and nurse, patient, and organizational outcomes

ABSTRACT Background: Supportive nursing practice environments are consistently associated with improved nurse, patient, and organizational outcomes. The American Nurses Credentialing Center's Pathway to Excellence® (Pathway) program is designed to establish and sustain healthy wo...

Comparative Efficacy Of Different Computer-Aided Detection Products in Colonoscopy: A Network Meta-Analysis Of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Background and aims: Multiple computer-aided detection (CADe) systems have been developed to improve adenoma detection during colonoscopy, but their comparative efficacy and consistency of effect remain uncertain. This network meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy of differ...

Design of Fluorescent Membrane Scaffold Proteins for Nanodiscs

Abstract Nanodiscs are nanoscale lipid bilayer membrane mimetics surrounded by two membrane scaffold proteins (MSPs). They are widely used as soluble cassettes for membrane proteins and lipids in diverse applications in structural, functional, and biophysical studies. The origina...

The ‘King of Crops’: Rediscovering Ancient Diversity in Barley Through Chaff Morphology

Barley was central to the emergence of agriculture in western Asia and is today one of the world’s most widespread cereal crops. Rather than a single taxon, barley encompasses four major varieties (hulled two-row, hulled six-row, naked two-row, naked six-row) alongside its wild p...

Bloating after Silicone Breast Implants

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Empirical data suggest that women submitted to silicone breast implant surgery report bloating after intervention. We aimed to look to this phenomenon in a retrospective study. METHODS: An online ad-hoc survey was created. It included 22 items aiming to collec...

Temporal- and Spatial-Resolved Characterization of Zeolite-Based Catalysts

Abstract Zeolites and metal-zeolite catalysts are the cornerstones of heterogeneous catalysis, where performance is governed by the structural dynamics and spatial distribution of active sites. However, conventional characterization often lacks the spatiotemporal resolution neede...
