A Sacrificial Seed Layer Strategy for Hierarchical MFI Zeolite Membranes With Enhanced Butane Isomer Separation Performance
1 Introduction Membrane-based gas separation has emerged as an attractive alternative to conventional separation technologies owing to its inherent energy efficiency, operational simplicity, and compact modular design [1, 2]. Among various membrane materials, zeolite membranes stand out for their potential in stable and highly selective separation of industrially important gas mixtures (e.g., n-/i-butane [3], xylene isomers [4], and CO2/CH4 [5, 6]).

Mixed-Matrix Membranes Embedded with Ultramicroporous Metal–Organic Framework Nanosheets for Enhanced Propylene/Propane Separation
1. Introduction Click to copy section linkSection link copied! Separation of alkenes and alkanes is recognized as one of the most energy-intensive chemical processes. (1) Membrane separation presents an alternative, energy-efficient method for propylene/propane (C3H6/C3H8) separation, offering advantages over traditional cryogenic distillation when C3H6 permeability exceeds 20 Barrer and C3H6/C3H8 selectivity surpasses 50.
Enhancing GPT-based automated essay scoring: the impact of fine-tuning and linguistic complexity measures
Abstract Recent studies have shown the potential of GPT models in automated essay scoring (AES) and suggested fine-tuning and integrating linguistic complexity measures as key approaches to enhancing model performance. However, research on the reliability, accuracy and fairness of fine-tuned GPT models in AES across different first language (L1) groups of writers is still limited.

Methionine Metabolism Dictates PCSK9 Expression and Antitumor Potency of PD‐1 Blockade in MSS Colorectal Cancer
1 Introduction Nutrients and their derivatives within the tumor microenvironment are inextricably linked to tumor progression and immune evasion.[1, 2] Tumor cells competitively seize the amino acids in the microenvironment to fulfill their voracious proliferation, generating an undernourished microenvironment marked by a deficiency in arginine, asparagine, glutamine, methionine, and tryptophan, which restrains the survival, differentiation, and function of immune cells.[3-9] The...

Testing the Relationship of Linguistic Complexity to Second Language Learners’ Comparative Judgment on Text Difficulty
Introduction Linguistic complexity (LC) needs to be carefully considered when selecting or adapting second language (L2) teaching materials, given its potential effect on text comprehensibility and processing (e.g., Bailey & Heritage, 2014) and the important role of comprehensible input in L2 acquisition (Gass, 2015). Numerous readability formulas for text difficulty (TD) classification exist, mostly based on TD judgment data from first language (L1) speakers (see Benjamin, 2012, for a review).
Sociocultural Theory and Corpus‐Based English Language Teaching
1 INTRODUCTION Although Sociocultural Theory (henceforth, SCT) originated nearly a century ago in the writings of Russian psychologist L. S. Vygotsky, historical circumstances meant that the theory began to influence international research communities only in the 1980s.
Exploring and modeling the reading-writing connection in EFL integrated writing
1. Introduction The natural and close connections between reading and writing have long been acknowledged in language learning and use situations (Grabe and Zhang, 2016). The 21st century has seen an increase in the use of integrated tasks in tertiary gate-keeping tests worldwide, such as the TOEFL iBT. This poses a great challenge to EFL learners who have traditionally learned the language through individual skill use at the pre-tertiary level (Bruce and Hamp-Lyons, 2015).

High‐rate Decoupled Water Electrolysis System Integrated with α‐MoO3 as a Redox Mediator with Fast Anhydrous Proton Kinetics
2.2 Efficiency and Purity of Gas Production Knowing the electrochemical behavior of α-MoO3 in 10 m H3PO4, the chronopotentiometry (CP, potential vs time) technique was utilized to examine the performance of decoupled water electrolysis in a membrane-free one-chamber cell containing 30 mL electrolyte. To evaluate the gas production efficiency and gas purity, in-line mass spectra (MS) was adopted to analyze the effluent gas products with Ar carrier gas (50 mL min−1).

Confinement Effects in Well-Defined Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) for Selective CO2 Hydrogenation: A Review
Abstract : Decarbonization has become an urgent affair to restrain global warming. CO2 hydrogenation coupled with H2 derived from water electrolysis is considered a promising route to mitigate the negative impact of carbon emission and also promote the application of hydrogen. It is of great significance to develop catalysts with excellent performance and large-scale implementation.
