Neutrino oscillations, a quantum effect manifesting at macroscopic scales, are governed by lepton flavour mixing angles and neutrino mass-squared differences that are fundamental parameters of particle physics, representing phenomena beyond the Standard Model. Precision measurements of these parameters are essential for testing the completeness of the three-flavour framework, determining the mass ordering of neutrinos and probing possible new physics.

Pedestrian walking constitutes the most fundamental mode of urban mobility, yet the recurrent occurrence of pedestrian traffic-related safety accidents, e.g., crowd crushes, underscores the urgent need to enhance the management and safeguarding of pedestrian facilities, particularly those characterized by high-density gatherings (e.g., urban subway stations during peak hours). Although pedestrian flow simulation models and empirically validated management policies exist, they can barely support the full-process requirements of pedestrian traffic and crowd safety management and often operate in isolation rather than forming an integrated solution, e.g, simulation software can generate individual-level trajectories but lacks the capability to derive case-sensitive crowd operation improvement strategies building upon these microscopic information, whereas empirically validated policies are typically tested under fixed boundary conditions, rendering their effectiveness uncertain in real-world pedestrian management scenarios that are highly dynamic and variable.

Mollusks exhibit an unusually high diversity of genes encodingvoltage-gated proton channel homologs. In addition to the conventionalproton channels Hv1, Hv2, and Hv4, a structurally and functionally atypicalproton channel was previously identified in Aplysia californica (AcHv3,subsequently renamed AcHv3.1).

Solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) is a rich source of information for understanding plant photosynthetic processes, carbon assimilation, functional status, and early stress symptoms of plants. As plants assimilate sunlight, they do so across the spectral range of photosynthetically active radiation. [...]
