Merged multisatellite precipitation datasets (MMPDs) combine the advantages of individual satellite precipitation products (SPPs), have a tendency to reduce uncertainties, and provide higher potentials to hydrological applications. This study applied a dynamic clustered Bayesian model averaging (DCBA) algorithm...

Drawing on the theory of gerotranscendence, this research aimed to gain a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the age-loneliness relationship and underlying factors. Data from the BBC Loneliness Experiment (⁢𝑛 = 6875, 67.80% female, M_age = 49.26, Range_age&#x...

Patents constitute the world's largest repository of codified technical knowledge, yet their length, legal terminology, and linguistic ambiguity have limited the effectiveness of traditional text mining and keyword-based retrieval. Large Language Models (LLMs) offer new capabilities for processing this...

The inherent anisotropy generated by interlayer defects and weak interfaces between printed filaments remains a critical challenge for the structural application of 3D printed concrete (3DPC). This study presents a physicochemical strategy to alleviate anisotropy in 3D printed white cementitious ...
