High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT To address the issue of low detection accuracy for zero‐value insulators in distribution lines, this study proposes a novel method for detecting these insulators based on the electroluminescence effect. Through theoretical analysis and experimentation, it was found that the luminescence intensity of ZnS:Cu electroluminescent material varies ...

Anti‐Takeover Provisions and Corporate Tax Avoidance
Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine the impact of anti‐takeover provisions (ATPs) on corporate tax avoidance in firms listed on Chinese A‐share markets, using rule‐based textual analysis over 2009–2023. In the absence of a unified anti‐takeover statute in China, legal reforms since 2006 have expanded corporate bylaw autonomy, enabling managers to adopt charter‐based ...

Cryo‐EM structures of multiple‐peptide resistance factor (MprF) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Cryo‐EM analysis of MprF from Pseudomonas aeruginosa reveals a dimeric enzyme, distinct from Rhizobium homologues. The soluble GNAT domain contains a dynamic amphipathic helix (TTH) that adopts different positions in detergent micelle and nanodisc, relative to the membrane.
