Abstract Offshore wind energy plays a critical role in achieving global decarbonization goals, while the dynamic response mechanisms of megawatt-scale turbines under complex environmental conditions remain insufficiently characterized. Current research often oversimplifies the effects of monopile flexibility and its interaction with soil dynamics, leading to gaps in dynamic predictions. To address this limitation, this study develops a comprehensive 15-degree-of-freedom dynamic model for a 22 MW monopile offshore wind turbine (OWT) that incorporates nonlinear pile flexibility and soil-structure interaction through p-y and Q-z curves. The integrated analytical framework, established using Euler-Lagrange equations, enables coupled analysis of… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Blue light and ultraviolet-A (UV-A) radiation are critical light-quality regulators that coordinately modulate plant growth and quality in protected horticulture. However, their interactive effects on celery (Apium graveolens L.) remain inadequately characterized. In the present study, we quantified the individual and combined impacts of supplemental UV-A and blue light on the growth, biomass accumulation, photosynthetic performance, and nutritional quality of celery (cv. Dayehuang) in a plant factory with artificial lighting. Our results demonstrated that sole UV-A or blue light application significantly increased biomass, nutritional quality, and light use efficiency (LUE) of celery. Notably, combined supplementation with… More >

Abstract To clarify the remediation effect of microbial inoculant fertilizer on cadmium (Cd) pollution following the application of pig manure organic fertilizer, a field experiment was conducted. No fertilization (CK1) and conventional fertilization (CK2) were used as controls. The treatments included conventional fertilization + pig manure organic fertilizer (PM, 2800 kg/hm²) and four levels of microbial inoculant fertilizer (7.5, 15, 22.5, 30 L/hm²) combined with the PM treatment. The study compared the effects of different treatments on rice economic traits, yield, Cd content in grains and plants, soil available Cd, total Cd, soil pH, and soil enzyme… More >

Abstract User electricity consumption behavior analysis and multi-load forecasting in integrated energy systems are crucial for system operation and scheduling. Traditional user electricity consumption behavior analysis fails to adequately incorporate meteorological factors, limiting the accuracy of characterizing user electricity consumption patterns. Traditional multi-load forecasting models do not consider the differentiated coupling relationships with meteorological factors across different seasons, which restricts the improvement of forecasting accuracy. To address the above issues, a method integrating data cleaning and meteorological correlation for electricity consumption behavior and multi-dimensional forecasting analysis is proposed. First, the Akima interpolation method is used to… More >

Abstract A combined asymptotic and characteristic-based computational framework is developed to investigate unsteady compressible flow response in solid rocket motor (SRM) chambers subjected to exit-plane disturbances and steady sidewall mass injection. The formulation integrates a low-Mach-number asymptotic reduction of the governing equations with a time-accurate numerical solution of the parabolized Navier–Stokes equations, employing characteristic-based boundary conditions to ensure physically consistent wave reflection and transmission at chamber boundaries. Controlled exit-plane pressure forcing is imposed under non-resonant and near-resonant conditions to examine acoustic–vorticity coupling mechanisms within slender SRM geometries. The computational framework is verified and validated against analytical… More >

Abstract Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of overlapping abiotic stresses, making cross-tolerance a critical component of plant resilience. While single stress responses have been extensively characterized, plants in natural and agricultural environments frequently encounter simultaneous or sequential stresses such as drought–heat, light–drought, and drought–salinity, which trigger nonadditive and often unpredictable physiological outcomes that vary with stress intensity, timing, and species. This review synthesizes current understanding of the mechanisms underlying cross-tolerance, emphasizing how contradictory signals, stress timing, and physiological integration shape plant responses under combined stress. We highlight how stomatal regulation, leaf energy balance,… More >

Abstract Objectives: Pediatric allergic rhinitis (AR) is a highly prevalent chronic inflammatory airway disease that significantly impairs children’s sleep, learning performance, and quality of life. Despite standardized pharmacotherapy, long-term symptom control remains suboptimal, which is related to the poor treatment compliance of patients and the insufficient disease awareness of parents. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of parental cognitive enhancement combined with parent–child psychological support on symptom control, the quality of life, and underlying intervention mechanisms in children aged 6–14 years with moderate to severe AR. Methods: A total of 150 children aged 6–14 years with… More >

Abstract Correlation function of acceleration responses-based damage identification methods has been developed and employed, while they still face the difficulty in identifying local or minor structural damages. To deal with this issue, a robust structural damage identification method is developed, integrating a modified holistic swarm optimization (MHSO) algorithm with a hybrid objective function. The MHSO is developed by combining Hammersley sequence-based population initialization, chaotic search around the worst solution, and Hooke-Jeeves pattern search around the best solution, thereby improving both global exploration and local exploitation capabilities. A hybrid objective function is constructed by merging acceleration correlation… More >

Abstract To simultaneously reduce flow-induced noise and enhance hydraulic performance in centrifugal pumps, this study proposes a bionic volute tongue inspired by the serrated trailing-edge morphology of the long-eared owl wing. Hydraulic performance and volute-induced noise are integrated into a unified evaluation framework, enabling multi-objective optimization of the tongue geometry. An orthogonal experimental design coupled with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Computational Fluid Acoustics (CFA) is employed to systematically assess the influence of serration parameters. A matrix-based decision method is then used to identify the optimal configuration balancing efficiency, head, and acoustic performance. The optimized design… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Objectives: Postmenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) exhibit low androgen expression. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vaginal androgen combined with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in the treatment of SUI in postmenopausal women. Methods: Postmenopausal women with SUI were recruited from Hainan West Central Hospital between January 2024 and March 2025. Participants were randomly assigned in a double-blind manner to receive either vaginal androgen cream combined with PFMT (treatment group) or a visually identical placebo cream (without androgens) combined with PFMT (control group). The vaginal cream was applied to… More >
