An increase in nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) levels in the air is associated with a 7% rise in the risk of cardiac arrest over four days. Particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀) elevates the risk on the same day as the peak.
Generative AI (GenAI) is rapidly transforming higher education. This study explores the imperative for curriculum reform to effectively integrate these powerful tools of GenAI into education and prepare students for an AI-driven world.
This study examined the evolution of digital education policy in the United Kingdom (UK) from 2008 to 2024 based on a discourse analysis of 21 policy documents retrieved from the UK government’s official website, GOV.UK.
The work introduces a large-language-model framework that predicts a student’s future performance and generates natural-language diagnoses from only a handful of activity records, thereby eliminating the data hunger and opacity that have long limited knowledge-tracing systems.
Qing Wei and colleagues from the College of Engineering, China Agricultural University, systematically elaborated on the innovative applications of neural networks in agricultural product drying, offering new insights to address industry pain points. The related article has been published in Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (DOI: 10.15302/J-FASE-2025620).
Researchers have developed a biomimetic mRNA delivery system that enhances the efficacy of PTEN mRNA in colorectal cancer immunotherapy. By using metal-ion coordination and cell-membrane coating, the system improves mRNA loading, cytosolic delivery, and stability, outperforming traditional lipid nanoparticles. The study also identifies a patient subgroup likely to benefit from PTEN-based treatment, provides an effective mRNA delivery system and conceptual proof for precise cancer immunotherapy.
