An amorphous solid dispersion is a molecular glass that the pharmaceutical literature specifies as though it were a solution: by drug, polymer and drug loading, occasionally with a glass transition temperature. Composition constrains such a material...

Boron (B) is essential for cell wall integrity and meristematic activity in cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis). Still, the narrow range between deficiency and toxicity limits soil and foliar fertilization, and seed-applied B remains unexpl...

Long-term monitoring of wetland degradation, recovery, and spatial resilience requires methods that can jointly exploit multi-temporal remote sensing observations and spatially heterogeneous environmental information. This study develops an intellige...

Background: This exploratory study examined associations between Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism (ACE I/D) and aerobic and strength responses to concurrent training in high-level football players. Methods: Tw...

Background/Objectives: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is associated with autoimmune thyroid inflammation, but its systemic inflammatory, immunonutritional, and atherogenic lipid profile across thyroid functional groups remains insufficiently char...

This article develops the concept of cognitive infrastructure to capture a dimension of institutional performance that the incentive-focused tradition in institutional economics has largely neglected. Cognitive infrastructure comprises three dimensio...

Auditory cognitive neuroscience has moved from controlled sounds toward increasingly complex stimuli, but the choice of what sounds to test remains largely determined before neural responses are observed. A complementary experimental logic is emergin...

Streamflow estimates are necessary for devising effective flood management strategies in urban areas. However, rating curves (RC), which formally summarize stage-discharge relationships, are rarely available, mainly because of difficulties in measuri...

The increasing thermal load associated with fast charging represents a major challenge for lithium-ion battery thermal management, particularly at high C-rates where conventional air cooling becomes insufficient. This study numerically investigates t...

Disabled people may not be able to express their physiological and medical needs easily and may have to depend on their caregivers to help them out. Nevertheless, conventional information and communication systems are ineffective and expensive, and t...

Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) exposes patients to complex physiological complications such as oral mucositis, nutritional deficits, infection, and graft-versus-host disease, alongside profound psychosocial...

Background/Objectives: Ardisia crenata Sims (ACS) is widely used in China for treating sore throat and pharyngeal swelling, but the bioactive constituents and mechanisms underlying its efficacy against acute pharyngitis remain unclear. This study com...

Recent blind hyperspectral image unmixing methods have achieved effective spectral–spatial representation, yet the reliability of estimated abundances remains difficult to assess because errors in jointly estimated endmembers and abundances can...

The cleat-hydraulic fracture system in deep coal is the main medium controlling the seepage capacity of coal, but under the combined action of high in situ stress and retained fracturing fluid, the permeability of the fracture system is significantly...

Campus open spaces support movement, social interaction, restoration, and informal learning, yet comparative evidence connecting student evaluations with contrasting campus contexts remains limited. This article examines architecture students’...

Recycled steel fibers (RFs) recovered from end-of-life tires (ELTs) are a potential alternative to manufactured steel fibers in concrete, but their irregular geometry may limit their effectiveness. This study compared RF and commercial hooked-end ste...

In cyber-physical power systems (CPPS), the inrush current generated during transformer reclosing can easily cause misjudgment of protection devices and thus serves as an important trigger for cascading failure propagation. Existing studies mostly re...
