Air Pollution, Investor Attention, and Greenium: An Attention-Based View
1 Introduction The growing urgency of climate change has compelled governments, corporate managers, and investors worldwide to seek effective solutions to mitigate its adverse effects (Cojoianu et al. 2020). A critical challenge in this endeavor is securing adequate funding for environmentally sustainable projects, which has necessitated the development and adoption of innovative financial instruments (Mishra et al. 2023).

A novel predefined-time criterion-based sliding mode control with adaptive disturbance observer for underactuated autonomous underwater vehicle
Abstract This paper addresses the challenging problem of high-precision three-dimensional (3D) trajectory tracking control for underactuated autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) operating under model uncertainties and time-varying external disturbances. The main contributions and novelty of this work are summarised as follows.
Interfacial dipolar interactions drive giant second-harmonic generation in 2D organic–inorganic heterostructures
Abstract Interfacial coupling governs the emergent functionality of two-dimensional (2D) organic–inorganic heterostructures, underpinning advances in linear optoelectronics such as photovoltaics. However, extending this control to the nonlinear optical regime remains elusive, as it requires driving the coherent nonlinear polarization of the inorganic lattice using molecular states, which is distinct from the incoherent charge transfer exploited in linear devices.

Risk factors for necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm infants: a 1:1 matched case-control study
Abstract Impact: This study demonstrates that neonatal sepsis, blood transfusion, combined antibiotic use, asphyxia, and maternal gestational diabetes (GDM) are independent risk factors for NEC. By utilizing a 1:1 matched case-control design, we effectively eliminated the confounding effects of gestational age and birth weight, revealing critical perinatal drivers of the disease. The resulting prediction model (AUC = 0.937) provides a robust tool for early screening.
Integrative multi-omics analysis identified FUT9 and MS4A3 as novel immune-phenotype and prognosis biomarkers for colorectal cancer and analyze the role of FUT9 in oncoimmunology
Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. Patients with different immunophenotypes of CRC could achieve different effect of immunotherapy and yield different prognosis. With the advancement of bioinformatics, multi-omics analysis of the variations at both genomics and epigenomics levels helps a lot to provide a molecular basis for immunophenotype.
Saccades orchestrate intraocular glucose dynamics to shape visual responses in birds
Abstract Birds exhibit remarkable vision despite lacking the classical retinal vasculature, raising an enigmatic question about how avascular retinas fulfill energy demands necessary for sight. Avian saccades couple rapid gaze shifts with cyclotorsional oscillations. In pigeons, we show that these saccades orchestrate intraocular metabolic dynamics and visual processing.

Mode of intracontinental mountain building controlled by lower crustal composition and mantle lithosphere depletion - Nature Communications
Abstract Tectonic plate convergence is accommodated across the continental lithosphere via discrete lithospheric subduction or distributed shortening and thickening. These end-member deformation modes control intra-plate mountain building, but their selection mechanism remains unclear. The variable composition of the continental crust and lithospheric mantle, which impacts its density and rheology, can be inferred by the distribution of magnetic-indicated crustal iron.

Stereo Matching Method with Cost Volume Collaborative Filtering
1. Introduction The goal of stereo matching is to determine the correspondences of all pixels between a pair of stereo images, so as to perceive the depth information and three-dimensional structure information of the scene according to the disparity of the corresponding pixels. Due to low cost, easy implementation, and the ability to recover the dense depth information of the scene, it has numerous applications such as autonomous driving [1], 3D object detection [2], 3D reconstruction [3], etc.

FLGQM: Robust Federated Learning Based on Geometric and Qualitative Metrics
1. Introduction With the continuous increase in data scale and the growing importance of data privacy, new machine learning paradigms have been proposed, such as federated learning (FL) [1]. Federated learning allows multiple distributed clients to jointly train a global model without sharing their privacy data. Federated learning can summarize the three main steps of model distribution, local training, and aggregation.

Venetoclax Overcomes Sorafenib Resistance in Acute Myeloid Leukemia by Targeting BCL2
1. Introduction Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most prevalent form of leukemia in adults, comprising 80% of all adult leukemia cases [1]. The incidence of AML escalates with age, rising from 1.3 per million individuals under 65 years old to 12.2 per million in those over 65 years old [2,3]. Leukemia cells often display various mutations, for instance, the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3)-internal tandem duplication (FLT3/ITD) mutation is observed in 30% AML [4,5].

Combination of CNP, MT and FLI during IVM Significantly Improved the Quality and Development Abilities of Bovine Oocytes and IVF-Derived Embryos
Abstract : Oocyte maturation is a critical step in the completion of female gametogenesis in the ovary; thus, for subsequent fertilization and embryogenesis. Vitrification of embryo also has been shown to be closely associated with oocyte maturation. To improve the quality and developmental potential of bovine oocytes derived from in vitro maturation (IVM), Pre-IVM with C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), melatonin (MT) and in combination, IGF1, FGF2, LIF (FLI) were supplemented in the IVM medium.
Digitization of Free‐Shapable Graphene Foam with Damage Tolerance
Abstract 3D construction of 2D sheets is the key to the utilization of graphene for large scale industrial applications. The layer by layer approach of additive manufacturing enables a high degree of design freedom for the fabrication of 3D graphene structures with excellent mechanical flexibility. Herein, the excellent mechanical and functional properties of 3D nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) foams fabricated is demonstrated via 3D printed templates and template-directed chemical vapor deposition.
