Prosodic phrasing is the segmentation of utterances into prosodic words, phonological phrases (smaller units) and intonational phrases (larger units) based on acoustic cues—pauses, pitch changes and pre-boundary lengthening. The perception of p...
The school closures, precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, required teachers to convert their entire classroom curricula to online formats, taught from home. This shift to a more sedentary teaching environment, coupled with the stresses related to t...
Parental engagement is of interest to teachers, school leaders, researchers, and policy makers as a key driver of pupil outcomes. Existing evidence suggests that parental engagement with learning in the home is most effective, but English schools oft...
Families of discrete quantum models that describe a free non-relativistic quantum particle propagating on rescaled and shifted dual weight lattices inside closures of Weyl alcoves are developed. The boundary conditions of the presented discrete quant...
Peri-prosthetic breast infections pose a risk of severe complications after breast implant surgery. The need to remove the breast implant, control the infection and perform additional surgical procedures are the consequences. Reimplantation of an all...
This case report underscores the importance of utilizing E-VAC (endoscopic vacuum-assisted closure) in the treatment of a perforated duodenal ulcer complicated by the formation of a subphrenic abscess and septic shock. It showcases how E-VAC can effe...

The integration of virtual reality, digital twins, and spatial behavior-tracking technologies is reshaping cultural exhibition architecture, shifting the design focus from functional efficiency to immersive, user-centered experiences. However, the be...
In this study, a pH-responsive nanophotosensitizer (MT@Ce6) was rationally developed by strategic integration of MIL-101 (Fe)-NH2 metal–organic framework with tannic acid (TA) and chlorin e6. This nanocomposite exhibits pH-responsive degradatio...
With the rapid spread of COVID-19 worldwide, governments of all countries declared the closure of educational institutions to control its transmission. As a result, institutions were under pressure to offer online education opportunities so that stud...
Robust industry-university-research (I-U-R) collaborative networks are essential for accelerating innovation in the clean energy industry (CEI). This study employs the exponential random graph model to investigate how the network structural, node, an...
Current management of Ageratina adenophora, a highly invasive weed, relies on synthetic herbicides with environmental and resistance risks, necessitating eco-friendly alternatives. This study evaluated seven phenyl derivatives for phytotoxic activity...
Currently, literature on organizational boundaries is at the center of a heated debate, characterized by a shift from a transactional approach to a broader immaterial perspective centered on the concept of boundless organizations. However, the overes...
Workplace inflexibility contributes to the higher rates of job loss and unemployment experienced by disabled people. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries already had significant disability employment gaps. Based on evidence from previous re...
We argue that turbulent irreversibility is best explained as an asymptotic feature of a singular inviscid limit—a reclassification of admissible entities and balances at
Fractures and voids are widely distributed in slope rock masses. These defects promote crack initiation and propagation, ultimately leading to rock mass failure. Investigating their damage evolution mechanisms and strength characteristics is of signi...
This study investigates the seasonal dynamics of energy balance, evapotranspiration (ET), and Net Ecosystem Production (NEP) in the Dengkou desert ecosystem of Inner Mongolia, China. Using eddy covariance and meteorological data from 2019 to 2022, th...
Protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1), a G protein-coupled receptor, plays a central role in coordinating multiple phases of cutaneous wound healing, including hemostasis, cell proliferation, migration, and extracellular matrix remodeling. Despite its...
As a crucial vehicle for green technological innovation, cooperative networks significantly promote resource integration and knowledge sharing. Yet, their dynamic evolution and micro-mechanism remain underexplored. Drawing on data from the joint appl...
(1) Background: Virtual Reality (VR) films challenge traditional visual cognition by offering novel perceptual experiences. This study investigates the applicability of Gestalt grouping principles in dynamic VR scenes, the influence of VR environment...
Local rock-dumping protection (RDP) can modify the evolution of pre-existing scour pits around subsea pipelines. This study combines field bathymetric surveys with REEF3D simulations to examine post-protection scour at a pipeline in the East China Se...
The upper treeline ecotone is a global and typically climate-dependent phenomenon. Its elevation is usually coupled with the thermal limitations of tree growth. The air temperature rise connected with global warming is assumed as the main cause of tr...
QO-40 (5-(chloromethyl)-3-(naphthalene-1-yl)-2-(trifluoromethyl) pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7(4H)-one) is a novel and selective activator of KCNQ2/KCNQ3 K+ channels. However, it remains largely unknown whether this compound can modify any other type of...
The activity of β-ureidopropionase, which catalyses the last step in the degradation of uracil, thymine, and analogous antimetabolites, is cooperatively regulated by the substrate and product of the reaction. This involves shifts in the equilibr...
We investigate interacting Barrow holographic dark energy (BHDE) with the Hubble horizon as the infrared cutoff in a fractal cosmological background. The fractal measure modifies the Friedmann sector and leads to the nonstandard closure relation
Background: Myogenous temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) typically present with pain but without obvious restriction of mandibular motion, making subtle dysfunctions difficult to detect clinically. In this study, we evaluated mandibular kinematics in...
Background/Objectives: The recent advances in pulmonary delivery have shifted the paradigm to the development of inhalable drug-loaded polysaccharide particles that can be positioned at the respiratory interface while reducing the systemic exposure....
Umami taste in lager beer not only determined body fullness and the backbone of aftertaste, but also affected the controllability and interpretability of flavor expression across the entire brewing process. Based on stage-wise sampling, peptidomic pr...
Bacterial sourcing in urban watersheds is a critical water quality concern because elevated index bacteria concentrations routinely trigger beach advisories and closures in coastal Southern California and elsewhere. This study evaluates diurnal contr...
Soil heat flux (G) not only affects the Earth’s surface energy balance but also models of calculating soil evaporation. A better understanding on the effect of timing, soil and vegetation on riparian G helps to improve energy balance closure an...
