Catalyst-Assisted High-Voltage DC Discharge for the Degradation of Methylene Blue in Wastewater

The high color intensity, chemical stability, and toxic persistence of textile dye wastewater form a serious environmental problem. In this work, the degradation of methylene blue (MB) using a high-voltage discharge plasma (HVDP) system has been studied, with a focus on plasma–ca...

Recent Advances in CRISPR/Cas Systems for Respiratory Pathogen Diagnostics

Early, rapid, and accurate detection is essential for clinical management and epidemiological control of acute respiratory infections caused by pathogens. Traditional testing methods such as microbial culture, serological testing, and PCR are restrictive in terms of operation and...

Ag-iPyramidSERS Enables Single-Particle Detectionof Sub-200 nm Nanoplastics in Real Samples

Abstract The detection of nanoplastics smaller than 200 nm is critical because of their potential to cross biological barriers, yet it remains a significant analytical challenge in complex environmental matrices due to weak signals and matrix interference. Here, we developed an o...

Decadal Shifts in Zooplankton Size Structure and Biomass in a Warming Tropical Lake

Climate warming can alter lake zooplankton through changes in thermal structure, oxygen availability, nutrient cycling, and phytoplankton dynamics, but decadal evidence from African lakes remains scarce. We compared zooplankton size structure and biomass in Lake Bosumtwi, Ghana,...

Thermal Aging of Aerospace Electro-Hydrostatic Actuator (EHA) Motor Insulation Systems

During the entire service cycle, the Electro-Hydrostatic Actuators (EHAs) are subjected to multi-physical stresses, including coupling effects, including high temperatures, severe temperature variation, and high-frequency pulses. These stresses not only act on the mechanical stru...

Grid-Aware Bi-Level Optimization for Truck–Drone Routing: Integrating Grid Feasibility and Shadow Pricing

Electric trucks operating as mobile depots for delivery drones are promising for last-mile logistics, yet fleet electrification makes depot charging a critical issue governed by distribution-grid limits. Existing truck–drone routing formulations omit the electrical network, treat...

Marginal gap evaluation of zirconia and metal short crowns with varying total occlusal convergence and auxiliary preparation features: an in-vitro study

Marginal adaptation is one of the important factors in determining the long-term success of dental restorations. Despite extensive research, conflicting evidence exists regarding the influence of material type, total occlusal convergence (TOC), and auxiliary preparation features...

Effects of a Lichess-Supported Blended Learning Model on Achievement, Tactical Ability, and Engagement in an Elective University Chess Course within Physical Education

This quasi-experimental study examined whether a Lichess-supported blended learning model improved outcomes in an elective university chess course delivered within a physical education program. Two parallel classes at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education were a...

Meta‐Analysis: Prevalence of Non‐ Helicobacter pylori , Non‐ NSAID Peptic Ulcer Disease

BACKGROUND: Non-Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), non-nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is increasingly recognized as a distinct subgroup, but its proportion across clinical presentations remains unclear. AIM: We aimed to estimate this proporti...

Uncovering Individual Language Vulnerability in Epilepsy Through Functional Connectivity Laterality

Abstract Background Language processing is organized in brain networks, generally lateralized to the left hemisphere. In clinical routine, task-based functional MRI (fMRI) is the gold standard for non-invasive evaluation of language lateralization. However, standard fMRI does not...

3D-printed cranioplasty molds – a technical note on lessons learned and things to avoid

Abstract 3D cranioplasty for cranial defects is growing ever more prevalent. As the technology becomes more accessible, the number of professionals being introduced to it is constantly on the rise. Herein we share our experience with 3D cranioplasty, point out the pitfalls and th...

Complex PTSD symptom trajectories in trauma-exposed adolescents: a five-year longitudinal study

Background: Complex posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom profile, prevalence, and risk factors have been studied in various populations across the lifespan. However, the longitudinal course of complex PTSD symptoms is unknown.Objective: The current study aimed to investig...

Genomic and genetic dissection underlying seedling drought resilience in oats

Drought threatens global crop yields, and common oat, a vital nutritional source for food and feed, is particularly constrained in the semi‑arid regions where it is widely cultivated. Here, we report two high-quality genome assemblies for drought-resilient (Borris37) and drought-...

Effect of Precipitated Particles on Corrosion Behavior of VCrFeTa0.1W0.1 and VCrFeTa0.2W0.2 Refractory High-Entropy Alloys

In this study, the influence of precipitated Laves particles on the metastable pitting of VCrFeTa0.1W0.1 and VCrFeTa0.2W0.2 refractory high-entropy alloys (HEAs) in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution was investigated. Microstructures and corrosion behaviors were characterized by XRD, SEM, TE...

Development of a Juglone/Mesoporous Carbon Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode for Ultrasensitive Determination of Melatonin in Dietary Supplements

A novel electrochemical sensing platform based on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with a juglone/mesoporous carbon composite (JUG-MC/GCE) was developed for the ultrasensitive determination of melatonin (MEL) in pharmaceutical formulations and dietary supplements. Incorpo...

Multi-objectives approach for economic optimization in the smart electrical grid with demand response and electric vehicle

This paper presents an introduction to a multi-objective optimization framework that has been specifically designed to enhance the short-term operational scheduling of energy systems within smart parking lots. The innovative framework integrates the Improved Seagull Algorithm (IS...

Relationship between cardiometabolic alterations and frailty in Brazilian urban and rural older adults

Abstract Background Frailty is a major public health concern among older adults due to its association with disability, hospitalization, and mortality. Cardiometabolic alterations are prevalent in this population and may be associated with frailty. However, evidence remains limit...

Turbidity currents after the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake and their environmental impacts on the Toyama Deep-Sea Channel in the Japan Sea

Abstract The deep-sea environment before and after the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake was investigated using a series of hydrographic and mooring observations in the Toyama Deep-Sea Channel (TDSC), Toyama Bay. Transient oxygen depletion was observed after the earthquake, and low-...
