Abstract Low-frequency (LF, ν ≤ 200 cm −1) vibrational modes of crystalline organic semiconductors are of particular interest because they significantly affect charge transport in these materials. Herein, we study LF vibrations of [1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (BTBT) substituted by...
Abstract Due to global change and the associated increase in climate hazards, the study of ecosystem services and their potential to reduce disaster risk has gained relevance in recent years. However, access to ecosystem services is not evenly distributed, leading to environmental injustice....

This study investigates the durability of timber buildings through a systematic literature review and a service life assessment of two representative building components. The review focused on degradation mechanisms, reasons for demolition, reference service life values, and strategies for...
Highlights What are the main findings? A physics-inspired Class Center Residual Attention Network (CCRANet) is proposed, which effectively extracts invariant thin cloud features and reduces surface interference. CCRANet achieves an mIoU of 85.93% on the Landsat-8 dataset, improving thin cloud IoU...
Abstract Cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) poses a significant clinical challenge lacking specific therapeutic drugs. Arundina graminifolia, a traditional Dai medicine, exhibits notable renoprotective effects; however, its in vivo pharmacodynamic material basis and molecular mechanisms...
Abstract Traditional urban building energy modeling often overlooks the complexity of spatial configurations and mutual shading effects, thereby limiting its accuracy. This study proposes a novel, interpretable, data-dr...
Abstract Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of drought events in Europe, necessitating the identification of more water-efficient cropping systems. This study compared the evapotranspirati...
Harvest is a critical stage in the agricultural season [ 1]. Viticulturists should be able to estimate the harvest date in advance to plan for materials, labor, inputs, and transportation logistics. Typically, monitoring...
