Dynamic Total Cost of Ownership Assessment of Methanol Dual-Fuel Container Ships in the Ningbo–Zhoushan–Valencia Green Shipping Corridor

Green methanol is widely regarded as a technically feasible low-carbon marine fuel for sustainable shipping in the medium term, but its economic viability remains constrained by fuel price and supply-scale uncertainty. This study develops a dynamic total cost of ownership (TCO) m...

On the Vibration-Based Modal Parameter Identification of Large Wind Turbine Blades

The blades directly affect the safety and power generation efficiency of the wind turbines. With the blade size increases, the reliable modal identification becomes important for vibration-based health monitoring. Although operational modal analysis (OMA) technique has been used...

Engineering and land use intensified climate-driven Yangtze River flood hazards since the Little Ice Age

Understanding the interplay between climate variability and human activities is essential for assessing long-term river flood hazards. Yet, the relative contributions of natural and anthropogenic drivers to flood magnitude remain poorly constrained due to limited multicentury rec...

Hepatic GPR110 plays a complex and context-dependent role in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease

Metabolically-dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)—formerly known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) —is now the most common chronic liver disease worldwide, affecting more than 30% of the global population. Recent studies have documented seemingly cont...

High-Performance Fiber-Shaped Supercapacitors Enabled by Polyaniline @ MXene Ti3C2Tx Hybrid Graphene Aerogel Fiber

Developing fiber-shaped supercapacitors (FSCs) with high capacitance, high energy density, and exceptional rate performance is crucial for reliable, stable and high-performance wearable electronics. Here, a polyaniline (PANI) @ MXene Ti3C2Tx/graphene (PTG) aerogel fiber was ratio...

Potential mediating role of triglycerides in the nonlinear association between body roundness index and MASLD in nondiabetic adults

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver disease globally, with visceral adiposity and dyslipidemia as key drivers. The body roundness index (BRI) is a novel anthropometric marker of visceral adiposity. Still, its nonlin...

Early-life high-dose omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation reduces risk of childhood asthma/wheezing: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Asthma, a chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by wheezing, imposes a substantial global health burden on children. Given the potential of early-life omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (omega-3 PUFA) supplementation as an anti-inflammatory...

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen oxidase 2 exacerbates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by inducing oxidative stress through autophagy inhibition.

, primary mouse vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were randomly divided into Control, AngII, AngII+GSK2795039, AngII+rapamycin (autophagy agonist, RA), and AngII+GSK2795039+RA groups. EDU assay, cell scratch assay, and mRFP-GFP-LC3 detection were conducted. ROS was measured by...
