Age-moderating effects and training characteristics of neuromuscular training for preventing knee injuries: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract Objective: Sports-related knee injuries are common and may cause pain, joint damage, reduced sport participation, and long-term physical activity limitations. Although neuromuscular training (NMT) is widely used for injury prevention, whether its effectiveness is moderated by age or intervention characteristics remains unclear.
Chelating Anion-Mediated Solvation Structures for Rechargeable Magnesium Batteries
1 Introduction In the contemporary era, with the continuous depletion of fossil fuel reserves and the persistent rise in energy demand, electrochemical energy storage devices have become a focal point of attention. Rechargeable magnesium metal batteries (RMBs) are considered a promising next-generation technology for power storage and conversion.
Physics‐Informed, Differentiable Hydrologic Models for Capturing Unseen Extreme Events
1 Introduction Flood forecasting is increasingly important due to the rising frequency and severity of flood events (Huong & Pathirana, 2013; Kundzewicz et al., 2014; Mahmoud & Gan, 2018). Accurate predictions of flood magnitude and timing are essential for mitigating impacts on communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems (Read & Vogel, 2016; Salman & Li, 2018).

Boron in My Mind: A Comprehensive Review of the Evolution of the Diverse Syntheses of 4‐Borono‐l‐Phenylalanine, the Leading Agent for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) leverages the nuclear reaction between boron-10 and thermal neutrons to selectively destroy cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. This therapy has found use in treating glioblastoma, which as a brain cancer, is difficult to treat using conventional radiotherapy, surgery, and chemotherapy due to location and the risk of brain damage. However, to work, the cells must contain 10B.

How Dry Is Southern California Right Now? On January 8, 2025, the soil moisture content, as measured down to about 40 inches (100 cm), was in the bottom 2 percent historically for that day in areas around Los Angeles. Illustration: NASA Hydrologists in California watch the sky very closely starting in October, when California’s water year begins. However, Southern California started out the 2024–25 water year pretty dry. The region got some rain from an atmospheric river in November, but not much.
Le rôle de la sécheresse extrême dans les incendies dévastateurs en Californie du Sud
La Californie connaît un véritable clivage nord-sud d’un point de vue hydrologique, qui expose la Californie du Sud à une sécheresse extrême qui la rend vulnérable aux feux de forêt. Les conditions de sécheresse dans le sud de la Californie ont favorisé des départs de feux mortels, provoqués par le vent, qui ont brûlé des milliers de maisons et d’autres bâtiments dans la région de Los Angeles au début du mois de janvier 2025.

Ultrasound-assisted green and efficient extraction of polysaccharides from Chlorella vulgaris using deep eutectic solvents and improving their performance
Ultrasound-assisted green and efficient extraction of polysaccharides from Chlorella vulgaris using deep eutectic solvents and improving their performance In this study, ultrasound-assisted natural deep-eutectic solvents (NaDESs) were used to extract Chlorella. A safe and stable Ect-Pan DES (DES formed by ectoin and panthenol) was prepared by mixing different molar ratios of ectoin and panthenol.
The survival of murine hepatitis virus (a surrogate of SARS-CoV-2) on conventional packaging materials under cold chain conditions
1 Introduction Since late 2019, the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused more than 758 million confirmed cases and 6.85 million deaths worldwide (1). SARS-CoV-2 spreads primarily through respiratory transmission, but evidence shows that it can also spread through contaminated environmental surfaces (2–4). Multiple studies have shown that the coronavirus is capable of surviving on a variety of surfaces for varying durations (5, 6).

BRACHY: A Randomized Trial to Evaluate Symptom Improvement in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer treated with External Beam Radiation With or Without High Dose Rate Intraluminal Brachytherapy
Uncontrolled studies suggest that the addition of high dose rate intraluminal brachytherapy (HDRIB) to external beam radiotherapy (EBR) may improve palliation for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential clinical benefit of adding HDRIB to EBR in a multicenter randomized trial.

High‐Resolution Soil Moisture Data Reveal Complex Multi‐Scale Spatial Variability Across the United States
Abstract Soil moisture (SM) spatiotemporal variability critically influences water resources, agriculture, and climate. However, besides site-specific studies, little is known about how SM varies locally (1–100-m scale). Consequently, quantifying the SM variability and its impact on the Earth system remains a long-standing challenge in hydrology.

The Provenance of Nephrite in China Based on Multi-spectral Imaging Technology and Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix
The provenance of nephrite is the basis for the research, restoration and collection of nephrite artifacts. However, it is not easy to determine provenance, because the major, minor and trace elements in nephrite from different sources usually overlap one another. In recent years, submicro-structural methods were applied to probe into the provenance of nephrite.
Multi-Actor Multi-Criteria Decision Making for Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment under Uncertainties
This paper aims at developing a generic multi-actor multi-criteria decision making (MAMCDM) method for life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) of industrial systems under uncertainties, which can help multiple stakeholders/decision-makers to prioritize the alternative industrial systems in a group decision-making approach.
Heat transfer intensification for retrofitting heat exchanger networks with considering exchanger detailed performances
The challenging of this work is to present a thorough study of implementing heat transfer intensification in heat exchanger network (HEN) retrofitting, including all details of exchanger geometry, stream bypassing and splitting, temperature‐variation of properties, LMTD and its correction, and pressure drops. This leads to very complex mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems rarely reported before.
