文摘The Pliocene-Pleistocene transition(3.0-2.5 million years ago,Ma)was a critical period during which the Arctic ice sheets expanded extensively and intensified,with the establishment of a permanent ice sheet on Greenland marking the onset of a bipolar“icehouse”climate state.This interval,characterized by atmospheric CO_(2) concentrations between pre-industrial and modern levels(~280-400 ppmv),provides a critical time window for understanding ice-sheet response to external forcing.Using a high-resolution climate model and a 3D thermomechanical ice sheet model,we simulate the Greenland Ice Sheet(GrIS)volume evolution under different CO_(2) scenarios and analyze its periodic behavior during this period.Our results show that when the GrIS volume was small,its variability was strongly paced by 65°N summer insolation.As the ice sheet grew,its response shifted,becoming increasingly dominated by the obliquity cycle.The GrIS volume reconstruction,consistent with ice-rafted debris records,indicates that after approximately 2.7 Ma,the expanded GrIS exhibited enhanced suborbital to millennial-scale signals and greater ice dynamical variability-a pattern echoing the amplified millennial-scale climate events observed in late Quaternary Greenland ice cores.Furthermore,comparison with deep-sea oxygen isotope records shows that the GrIS began to significantly contribute to the 40,000-year cycle after 2.7 Ma,with its changes slightly leading the signal of the benthic δ^(18)O.This study clarifies the GrIS’s cyclic evolution and constrains its role in the climate system evolution during the Pliocene-Pleistocene transition.

文摘Hemorrhagic shock(HS)is a leading cause of death worldwide,particularly within the first 24 h post-injury.Current treatments are limited,especially in low-resource settings.Therapeutic hypothermia(TH)offers potential benefits by reducing metabolic demands and protecting organs,but its application in HS is challenged by cooling difficulties and side effects.This study introduces a novel nasal gel formulation of N6-cyclohexyladenosine(CHA),an adenosine A1 receptor agonist,designed to enhance brain delivery while minimizing peripheral side effects.In a mouse model of HS,administration of CHA nasal gel significantly improved survival rates,reduced metabolic rates,and protected major organs without worsening coagulopathy.Metabolomics analysis revealed a shift towards fatty acid oxidation and increased antioxidant capacity.These findings demonstrate that CHA nasal gel effectively induces TH,offering a safe and innovative treatment strategy for HS,particularly in resource-limited environments.

文摘Undesired ice accumulation on infrastructure and transportation systems leads to catastrophic events and significant economic losses.Although various anti-icing surfaces with photothermal effects can initially prevent icing,any thawy droplets remaining on the horizontal surface can quickly re-freezing once the light diminishes.To address these challenges,we have developed a self-draining slippery surface(SDSS)that enables the thawy droplets to self-remove on the horizontal surface,thereby facilitating real-time anti-icing with the aid of sunlight(100 m W cm^(-2)).This is achieved by sandwiching a thin pyroelectric layer between slippery surface and photothermal film.Due to the synergy between the photothermal and pyroelectric layers,the SDSS not only maintains a high surface temperature of 19.8±2.2℃at the low temperature(-20.0±1.0℃),but also generates amount of charge through thermoelectric coupling.Thus,as cold droplets dropped on the SDSS,electrostatic force pushes the droplets off the charged surface because of the charge transfer mechanism.Even if the surface freezes overnight,the ice can melt and drain off the SDSS within 10 min of exposure to sunlight at-20.0±1.0℃,leaving a clean surface.This work provides a new perspective on the anti-icing system in the real-world environments.

文摘Plants constitute nearly 80%of the planet’s total biomass(Bar-On et al.,2018);however,this vital group is experiencing severe threats,and recent evaluations indicate that approximately 45%of the world's described plant species are at risk of extinction(Bachman et al.,2024).The number of plant extinctions has increased by 60%in the last 100 years(Di Marco et al.,2017).Over the past 250 years,571 plant species have gone extinct—more than twice the combined total of extinct birds,mammals,and amphibians(217 species)(Briggs,2019).

文摘This study explores the motivations,perceived benefits,and challenges associated with the adoption of clearcutfree forestry by early adopters among non-industrial private forest(NIPF)owners in southern-central Sweden.Clearcut-free forestry,characterized by continuous tree cover and an emphasis on biodiversity,structural diversity,and ecosystem services(ES),is increasingly seen as a sustainable alternative to conventional intensive management based on short rotations and clear-cutting practices.Based on qualitative interviews with 22 NIPF owners who have adopted this approach,the study provides insights into how these early adopters perceive the value of clearcut-free forestry.Reported motivations include environmental concerns,such as biodiversity conservation and climate resilience,as well as strong socio-cultural values linked to family traditions,aesthetic preferences,and community wellbeing.In this study,we use the multi-level perspective(MLP)framework to conceptualize NIPF owners who have adopted clearcut-free forestry as niche actors and analyze their potential contribution to the emergence of an alternative forest management regime.The findings highlight that early adopters associate multiple benefits with clearcut-free forestry,encompassing enhanced ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration,water regulation,habitat preservation,and socio-cultural enrichment through recreation and relational values.However,the interviewees identify several interrelated challenges,including knowledge gaps,lack of clear definitions and standardized practices,limited advisory services,underdeveloped value chains for high-quality timber,and market barriers,which hinder more widespread adoption.Within the multi-level perspective,owner perceptions linking clearcut-free management with improved forest multifunctionality serve as a key driver of niche-level experimentation.This suggests an alignment between these owners and evolving societal demands for more inclusive,sustainable,and diversified forest use.Policy recommendations include targeted investments in knowledge co-production,infrastructure,market incentives,and certification schemes to support the economic viability and broader adoption of clearcut-free forestry.

文摘The multi-principal element characteristic of high-entropy alloys has revolutionized the conventional alloy design concept of single-principal element,endowing them with excellent mechanical properties.However,owing to this multi-principal element nature,high-entropy alloys exhibit complex deformation behavior dominated by alternating and coupled deformation mechanisms.Therefore,elucidating these intricate deformation mechanisms remains a key challenge in current research.Neutron diffraction(ND)techniques offer distinct advantages over traditional microscopic methods for characterizing such complex deformation behavior.The strong penetration capability of neutrons enables in-situ,real-time,and non-destructive detection of structural evolution in most centimeter-level bulk samples under complex environments,and ND allows precise characterization of lattice site occupations for light elements,such as C and O,and neighboring elements.This review discussed the principles of ND,experiment procedures,and data analysis.Combining with recent advances in the research about face-centered cubic high-entropy alloy,typical examples of using ND to investigate the deformation behavior were summarized,ultimately revealing deformation mechanisms dominated by dislocations,stacking faults,twinning,and phase transformations.

文摘Carbon(C)sequestered in the mantle andcrust over geological timescales accounts for more than 99% of allcarbon in the bulk silicate Earth and plays a fundamental role in driving surface biogeochemical cycles,which involve only a tiny fraction of Earth's total carbon inventory[1].In addition to CO_(2) released through near surface weathering of sedimentary rocks[2],a substantial,butstill poorly quantified,amount of carbon in the deeper crust and mantle(hereafter referred to as deeply-sourced carbon)could be mobilized by magmatism and metamorphism and then outgassed in volcanic and non-volcanic settings.

文摘Lightweight nodes are crucial for blockchain scalability,but verifying the availability of complete block data puts significant strain on bandwidth and latency.Existing data availability sampling(DAS)schemes either require trusted setups or suffer from high communication overhead and low verification efficiency.This paper presents ISTIRDA,a DAS scheme that lets light clients certify availability by sampling small random codeword symbols.Built on ISTIR,an improved Reed–Solomon interactive oracle proof of proximity,ISTIRDA combines adaptive folding with dynamic code rate adjustment to preserve soundness while lowering communication.This paper formalizes opening consistency and prove security with bounded error in the random oracle model,giving polylogarithmic verifier queries and no trusted setup.In a prototype compared with FRIDA under equal soundness,ISTIRDA reduces communication by 40.65%to 80%.For data larger than 16 MB,ISTIRDA verifies faster and the advantage widens;at 128 MB,proofs are about 60%smaller and verification time is roughly 25%shorter,while prover overhead remains modest.In peer-to-peer emulation under injected latency and loss,ISTIRDA reaches confidence more quickly and is less sensitive to packet loss and load.These results indicate that ISTIRDA is a scalable and provably secure DAS scheme suitable for high-throughput,large-block public blockchains,substantially easing bandwidth and latency pressure on lightweight nodes.
文摘Background Heat shock proteins(HSPs)are key molecular chaperones that help maintain protein homeostasis by stabilizing or removing damaged proteins during cellular stress.Aging weakens these stress–response systems,disrupting proteostasis and increasing vulnerability to sarcopenia.High-intensity training(HIT)can counteract these declines by activating protective pathways such as the HSP response.HSPs are highly responsive to stress,examining their regulation during aging is important,as altered HSP activity is linked to the progressive loss of muscle mass.Methods This study investigated the abundance and phosphorylation of HSPs in skeletal muscle from healthy,active young and older adults(n=7 per group),assessed at baseline and again in the older group following 12 weeks of HIT.Using calibrated Western blotting on both whole-muscle homogenates and pooled single muscle fibres,we quantified HSP content and phosphorylation to determine how aging and exercise influence stress–responsive protein regulation at both the tissue and cellular levels.Results In whole muscle homogenates,HSPs(HSP72,HSP27,andαB-crystallin)did not differ between young and older adults,while higher phosphorylation of small HSPs(sHSPs):phospho-HSP27 at Serine15(pHSP27 Ser15)and phospho-αB-crystallin at Serine59(pαB-crystallin Ser59)(∼1.8-fold and∼2.9-fold,respectively)were found in muscle from older adults,indicating higher cellular stress associated with aging.A 12-week HIT intervention in older adults reduced homogenate pHSP27 Ser15 and pαB-crystallin Ser59 abundances to similar levels found in young adults.Total HSPs typically displayed a distinct fiber-type profile in both age groups,with more in type I compared to type II fibers,distinguished by the presence of myosin heavy chain I(MHCI)or MHCII.Phosphorylation at pHSP27 Ser15 and pαB-crystallin Ser59 was not different between type I and type II fibers.The HIT in older adults decreased total and phosphorylated sHSPs in both type I and type II fibers but increased HSP72 in type I fibers.Conclusion HIT has the potential to mitigate age-related cellular stress and modulate protein expression patterns in aging skeletal muscle and,perhaps,has the potential to delay age-related muscle decline,thereby improving muscle health in older adults.

文摘Ferromagnetism in moiréflat-band systems has been extensively studied in the first valence miniband of twisted MoTe_(2),while its controlled realization at higher moiréfillings remains largely unexplored,except for very recent works reporting correlated magnetism near half filling of the second moiréband.Here,we investigate rhombohedral-stacked twisted MoTe_(2)/hBN/WSe_(2) heterostructures and uncover two distinct ferromagnetic(FM)regions:one centered near v_(h)≈3(half filling of the second moirévalence miniband)at zero displacement field,and a re-entrant FM phase that emerges for v_(h)>3 only under a finite out-of-plane electric field.These FM regions are separated by a narrow filling window with a strongly suppressed magnetic circular dichroism(MCD)response.Layer-sensitive exciton spectroscopy identifies that WSe_(2) is hole-doped in the re-entrant FM region,consistent with partial charge transfer from MoTe_(2) to WSe_(2).We propose that electric-field–induced layer repopulation stabilizes the re-entrant ferromagnetic phase by pinning the effective MoTe_(2) filling near v_(h)≈3 while adding carriers to the remote WSe_(2) layer.Our results demonstrate that remote-layer population control is an effective tuning knob for magnetic ordering in higher moiréminibands,extending the design space for correlated spin–valley phases in transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures.

文摘Bio-based 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid polyesters offer significant promise for reducing energy and environmental crises.However,their intrinsic flammability remains a critical limitation,and conventional flame-retardant strategies often compromise their mechanical properties,hindering their practical applications.Herein,a 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide(DOPO)-based comonomer(DDP)was used to synthesize flame-retardant poly(ethylene furandicarboxylate-co-phosphaphenanthrene)(PEFDn).The covalent integration of DDP confers intrinsic flame retardancy,avoiding the plasticization and migration issues associated with additive-type systems.Upon thermal decomposition,the DOPO-derived moieties release phosphoric acid and radical scavengers,promoting char formation and suppressing flame propagation.Furthermore,density functional theory(DFT)calculations combined with non-covalent interaction(NCI)analysis revealed that DOPO dimer molecules adopt a stable parallel-displaced π-π stacking configu ration,potentially facilitating microphase separation and enhancing the energy dissipation capability.PEFD_(10)achieves a UL-94 V-0 rating while simultaneously increasing impact toughness from 1.5 kJ/m^(2) to 14.7 kJ/m^(2).Im portantly,PEFDn maintained acceptable oxygen-barrier properties.PEFD10 also exhibited high transparency and UV-shielding performance.The combination of intrinsic flame safety,im pact-toughness resistance,UV shielding,and an oxygen barrier ensures reliable protection of electrical components and long-term operational stability.The integration of multiple critical properties within a single bio-based material represents a novel approach fo r enabling sustainable polymer solutions for high-pe rformance electrical applications.

文摘Small extracellular vesicles(sEVs)membrane protein profile(sEVpp)is a novel biomarker for cancer,and it can reveal the in-depth phenotype information.The point-of-care testing(POCT)of sEVpp holds great significance for mass screening of cancer,so the cost-effective and simple detection methods of sEVpp are urgently demanded.Herein,we constructed a paper-based multichannel sEVpp POCT device(sEVpp-PAD)enabled by functional DNA probes and metal-organic framework(MOF).The core components are aptamer/MOF-modified paper chips.The modified aptamers can immunocapture the sEV expressing corresponding proteins,while the modified MOF can provide abundant sites for aptamer-modification,reduce the nonspecific protein absorption,and act as reference for ratiometric detection.Simply powered by two syringes,the sEVpp-PAD can efficiently capture sEVs expressing corresponding protein from cell culture media and sera.Furthermore,a detection probe(DP)consisted of CD63 aptamer and G-quadruplex was developed for the colorimetric detection of captured sEVs.Utilizing this device,the sEVpp in various hepatocellular carcinoma cell culture medium and,more importantly,in human sera can be accurately determined,only with$2 device,$0.2 detection reagents and 1.8 h procedure.This simple strategy for sEVpp detection can innovatively promote the POCT and subtyping of cancer based on sEV-related liquid biopsy.
