Towards Low‐Voltage and High‐Capacity Conversion‐Based Oxide Anodes by Configuration Entropy Optimization

Abstract Transition metal oxide (TMO)‐based anodes attract much attention for lithium storage due to the merits of high theoretical capacity, facile synthesis, and easy scale‐up. Moreover, the increased working potential avoids the issue of...

Multi-site field validation of improved morpho-physiological responses and yield in Allium hirtifolium with zinc oxide nanoparticle treatments in semi-arid soils

Abstract Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) offer a superior alternative to conventional Zn fertilizers for improved crop production, particularly under semi-arid regions where nutrient efficiency and stress tolerance are critical. Using two...

Ultrasound-Sensitive Liposomes for Triggered Macromolecular Drug Delivery: Formulation and In Vitro Characterization

Mistletoe lectin-1 (ML1) is a nature-derived macromolecular cytotoxin that potently induces apoptosis in target cells. Non-specific cytotoxicity to normal cells is one of the major risks in its clinical application, and we therefore propose...

The Water-Based Synthesis of Platinum Nanoparticles Using KrF Excimer Laser Ablation

Our work presents, for the first time, a comprehensive study of the synthesis of fully metallic platinum nanoparticles (Pt-NPs) involving the ablation process in double distilled water using a KrF excimer laser. To obtain detailed informati...

Středověký svět dětí a her v archeologických pramenech

"Dějiny dětství" jako jednu z oblastí studia života všedního dne lze pro středověk jen velmi těžce postihnout. Demografická situace středověku nebyla pro děti vůbec příznivá. Významnou roli v tomto ohledu sehrálo sociální prostředí (na vesn...

New femoral evidence from the Afar reveal the early evolution of habitual squatting behaviors in the genus Theropithecus

IntroductionThe femoral anatomy of fossil Theropithecus is poorly known, although it provides critical data for inferring squatting behaviors, a characteristic trait of extant Theropithecus gelada.MethodsHere, we describe and provide functi...

The Archaeology of the Colonized

The first book to integrate fully the archaeological study of the landscape with the concerns of colonial and postcolonial history, theory and scholarship, The Archaeology of the Colonized focuses on the experience of the colonized in their...

Widespread geographic distribution of filarioid nematodes in caribou (Rangifer tarandus sspp.) in Canada

The caribou (Rangifer tarandus sspp.) is a keystone wildlife species in northern ecosystems that plays a central role in the culture, spirituality and food security of Indigenous People. The Arctic is currently experiencing an unprecedented...

Radiation-Driven Stellar Eruptions

Very massive stars occasionally expel material in colossal eruptions, driven by continuum radiation pressure rather than blast waves. Some of them rival supernovae in total radiative output, and the mass loss is crucial for subsequent evolu...

Quantum Image Encryption Scheme Using Arnold Transform and S-box Scrambling

The paper proposes a lossless quantum image encryption scheme based on substitution tables (S-box) scrambling, mutation operation and general Arnold transform with keys. First, the key generator builds upon the foundation of SHA-256 hash wi...

Drug situation and drug combating in China: trends and opportunities to strengthen international cooperation by the example of the SCO

In recent years, the drug situation in China has generally stabilized, and according to official Chinese statistics, the number of drug addicts is reducing. However, China remains one of the key sources of synthetic drugs and precursors to ...

Children's Type 1 Diabetes-specific Self-reported Outcomes Scales: Measurement Properties Evaluation Based on COSMIN Guidelines

Background Type 1 diabetes mellitus in children is progressively younger, and there is a lack of quality standardized studies on specific self-reported outcomes scales for pediatric and adolescent patients. Objective To evaluate the measure...

International business responses to institutional voids

International Business-Society Management

In the twenty-first century, as traditional divides are redefined, bargaining over corporate responsibilities has increasingly centred around corporate reputation and the question of whether businesses are part of society’s problems or part...

A Simplified Settlement Calculation Method for Stiffened Deep Cement Mixing Pile Composite Foundation Under Embankment

The stiffened deep cement mixing (SDCM) pile utilizes the advantages of the concrete pile and DCM column, and it has been widely used in construction and transportation projects. Nevertheless, the research on the theory of settlement analys...

Glacier Geophysics

From physical measurements on glaciers and experimental studies of ice properties a framework of concept and theory is being built which bids fair to place glaciers among the more quantitatively understandable phenomena in the earth science...

Green’s functions for geophysics: a review

The Green's function (GF) method, which makes use of GFs, is an important and elegant tool for solving a given boundary-value problem for the differential equation from a real engineering or physical field. Under a concentrated source, the ...

Mathematical Geophysics

Aimed at graduate students, researchers and academics in mathematics, engineering, oceanography, meteorology, and mechanics, this text provides a detailed introduction to the physical theory of rotating fluids, a significant part of geophys...
