Organizational scholars have studied equity sensitivity (ES) for nearly half a century. Yet, a lack of synthesis in the ES literature suggests important questions remain regarding our understanding of the concept, its nomological network, the theoretical role(s) it may play in sh...

This study investigated the anti-aging effects of exosomes derived from Fructobacillus fructosus OS-1010-treated Caco-2 cells on dermal fibroblasts and aged skin. These exosomes enhanced the expression of longevity-related genes (SIRT1, nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAM...

High-resolution, fine-scale sea-ice extraction is essential for assessing navigation risk in Arctic shipping routes. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) provides all-weather observations and is therefore a key data source for polar sea-ice classification. However, conventional pixel-l...

Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a congenital cardiac anomaly that may remain clinically silent until adulthood, potentially progressing to serious complications if undiagnosed. Cardiac cirrhosis and portal hypertension as initial manifestations of undiagnosed ASD with Eisenmenger p...

Land-use and climate change are dominant drivers of terrestrial biodiversity change, yet are usually analysed separately although they co-occur and may interact. We integrated global bird assemblage records from PREDICTS with temperature anomalies and species' ecological characte...

This study aimed to compare the efficacy and procedural performance of pressure microcatheters and pressure guidewires for fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) undergoing balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BP...

Self-supported electrodes (SSEs) offer a simplified route toward ionomer-free catalyst fabrication for anion exchange membrane water electrolyzer (AEMWE), but most reported systems rely on additional catalyst growth or deposition on porous metallic supports. Here, a commercial Ni...

Alternative response programs are designed to bridge the gap between the crisis needs of 911 callers and public safety goals of first responders. Despite widespread implementation, rigorous research on program outcomes remains limited. This study used a quasi-experimental design...
- Engineering & TechnologyOpen access
Unexpected leakage experiments were conducted using a 1:20 scale hydrogen refueling area model incorporating the actual equipment layout. The effects of leakage duration, direction, and flow rate on concentration distribution were investigated. Three concentration stages were ide...

Lumbar hyperlordosis is a common postural abnormality in women and is often associated with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP). This condition is linked to functional impairments and reduced physical performance. Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), which emphasizes...

Enhancing CO2-to-methanol conversion via interfacial engineering in CuZnCeOx/Cu-foam catalyst
Cu-based catalysts are promising for CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol, but their activity and stability are often limited by Cu sintering, insufficient interfacial interactions, and inefficient heat transfer. Herein, a novel CuZnCeO x /Cu-foam catalyst was developed by growing Cu(O...

Cobalt is a strategically important metal, but its efficient recovery from increasingly complex ores remains challenging. Flotation is widely used to recover cobalt sulfide minerals such as carrollite, with xanthates serving as common collectors. However, surface oxidation can im...

Pouch and prismatic battery cells are usually mechanically preloaded for their use in electric vehicles to improve the performance and service life of battery cells. Although these positive effects are well known and studied in literature, only these cell formats continue to be m...

AADL: a lightweight anti-aliased multi-scale network for CT pulmonary nodule detection
Accurate detection of pulmonary nodules in CT images is important for early lung cancer screening, but remains difficult because nodules vary widely in size, shape, and density. Tiny and low-contrast nodules are particularly challenging, as their weak margins and vessel- or pleur...

A comparative chemical-kinetic assessment of dimethyl ether (DME) and methanol (MeOH) as ammonia ignition promoters was performed under identical reactor and mixture constraints. Blends containing 70% NH 3 and 30% DME or MeOH were simulated in an adiabatic constant-pressure react...

Rub-impact fault diagnosis for rotating blade using covariance-reconstructed MVDR and BTT data
Blade Tip Timing (BTT) is a crucial technique for monitoring the health status of rotating blades in aero-engines. However, the inherently severe non-uniform under-sampling characteristics of BTT signals make the extraction of early fault features highly challenging. To address t...

Leadership capability in complex systems: Towards a multi-dimensional framework
Leadership is often exercised in conditions characterised by uncertainty, interdependence, tension, emergence and change.In these conditions, no single leader can fully understand or control the system, and effective responses cannot always be determined in advance.Leadership bec...

Abstract Local diabatization (LD) propagates electronic amplitudes using time overlaps of adiabatic states and is robust to wave function phase arbitrariness, root character transport, and rotations within near-degenerate manifolds. However, when truncated dynamical bases are not...
