Permeability heterogeneity controls fluid migration and microseismicity evolution in The Geysers geothermal field, California
Abstract Fracture networks directly govern the efficiency of geothermal energy extraction and play a critical role in fluid migration and microearthquake generation. Using deep learning and Markov clustering, we build a high-resolution microseismic catalog covering the past decade for The Geysers geothermal field, California. Our observations reveal distinctive clustering patterns and inferred fracture systems tightly correlated with injection operations.
Molecular point-of-care: technological evolution, clinical applications, and future perspectives
Abstract The landscape of clinical diagnostics is undergoing a fundamental shift from centralized laboratories toward decentralized point-of-care testing (POCT) models. Conventional molecular diagnostics often suffer from prolonged turnaround times, high operational costs, and a strict reliance on sophisticated infrastructure. To overcome these limitations, modern POCT platforms have deeply integrated advanced molecular techniques.
MRI-Based Radiomics Model for Predicting Eligibility for Conservative Management of Endometrial Cancer
1 Introduction Endometrial cancer is one of the most common cancers among women. According to global cancer statistics, there were 420,242 newly diagnosed cases of endometrial cancer in 2022 [1]. A proportion of 4.2% of endometrial cancer patients are younger than 40 years of age, and the incidence rate of early-stage and low-grade endometrial cancer in young women is rising [2].
Establishment and validation of NQICD: a new nutrient profiling model for evaluating Chinese dishes
Abstract With the increase in dining out, high consumption of salt, oil, and sugar has led to deteriorating diet quality in China. We developed and validated the Nutritional Quality Index of Chinese Dishes (NQICD), a new nutrient profiling model for Chinese composite dishes, addressing a gap not covered by existing models. NQICD was based on seven domains.
Abstract This paper presents a Multi-Load-Case topology optimization framework for aluminum alloy wheels to overcome the limitations of empirical rear-cavity lightweight designs. To balance structural integrity and mass reduction without altering the aerodynamic outboard styling, a region-constrained topology optimization was conducted.
A meta-analytic review of Mandarin tone perception: tone height and tone contour, prosodic background, and L2 experience
Abstract This meta-analysis synthesizes data from 18 empirical studies to examine how tonal features of height and contour, native prosodic background, and second language (L2) experience affect the perception of Mandarin lexical tones. Results revealed overall large effect sizes, indicating that variability in tone perception is statistically robust and theoretically significant.

A Novel Protein Sourced from Chinese Medicine Residue for Golden Pompano Feed: Endothelium Corneum Gigeriae Galli Residue (ECGGR)
Fishmeal is an important protein source in aquafeed. However, due to the limited natural resources, fishmeal is in short supply, resulting in a price surge for fishmeal. Here, we reported a kind of Chinese medicine residue, endothelium corneum gigeriae galli residue (ECGGR), as a fishmeal substitute in the diets of Trachinotus ovatus. Six isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were formulated, substituting fishmeal at 0%, 6.25%, 12.5%, 18.75%, 25%, and 31.25%.

Epigenetic Regulation of Hepatic Lipid Metabolism by DNA Methylation
Abstract While extensive investigations have been devoted to the study of genetic pathways related to fatty liver diseases, much less is known about epigenetic mechanisms underlying these disorders. DNA methylation is an epigenetic link between environmental factors (e.g., diets) and complex diseases (e.g., non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). Here, it is aimed to study the role of DNA methylation in the regulation of hepatic lipid metabolism.
