Assessment of Terrestrial Carbon Sinks: A Review of Methodological and Framework Limitations and Future Prospects

Ecosystem carbon sinks are a key indicator of terrestrial ecosystems' ability to absorb and store atmospheric CO₂. Their accurate assessment is of great significance for addressing global climate change and achieving carbon reduction targets. Due to limitations in the timeliness...

Multimodal synthesis of neural correlates of motor imagery after spinal cord injury: a systematic review

Spinal cord injury (SCI) profoundly disrupts motor output while also reshaping central motor systems. Motor imagery (MI) provides a valuable window into retained motor-related neural processes because it enables investigation of covert motor state generation in the absence of ove...

Controlled hypotension therapy with isosorbide dinitrate for postoperative bleeding of transurethral resection of the prostate

Introduction: Postoperative bleeding is a well-known complication of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of controlled hypotension using isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) as a treatment for refractory postoperative bleedin...

Cumulative body mass index burden from childhood to mid-adulthood in relation to subclinical cardiovascular outcomes: The potential mediating role of cardiovascular risk factors

The associations of long-term body mass index (BMI) exposure, including both cumulative burden and increasing trends from childhood to adulthood, with subclinical cardiovascular outcomes remain incompletely understood, especially across distinct life stages. This study aimed to e...

Trade-Offs Among Arc Erosion Resistance, Wear Resistance, and Compressive Performance: Designing Cu-Nb-Gr Composites with a Semi-Continuous Gr-Rich Structure Coupled with an Nb-Rich Load-Bearing Structure

Developing Cu-based composites with excellent electrical and mechanical properties under multiphysics-coupled service conditions remains challenging. Novel Cu-Nb-Gr composites were fabricated by high-energy ball milling and High-pressure Multi-field Assisted Rapid Sintering. Expe...

Determinants of life expectancy with unmet needs in the Chinese older population (revision 1)

Abstract This study investigates the determinants of and disparities in life expectancy (LE) with unmet long-term care needs among older people in China. The data come from four waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), a nationally representative surv...

Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists in cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome: a review

With the rising global prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes, metabolic disorders have become major drivers of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome encompasses obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), chronic kidney...

Finite time blow-up and global solutions for the viscoelastic wave equation with combined power-type nonlinearities

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the global existence and nonexistence of solutions to the viscoelastic wave equation with a linear memory term of Boltzmann type, a nonlinear friction damping and a supercritical source term which is a combination of power-type n...

A tumor microenvironment acid-responsive therapy combining fenton chemistry and chemotherapy via TNF pathway for synergistic and safe lung cancer treatment

Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, but traditional treatments, particularly chemotherapy, often face significant challenges, including drug resistance and high systemic toxicity. In this study, we developed a novel acid responsive nanoparticle, La₂O₃@PDA/PTX,...

Enjoyment and Engagement in AI ‐Mediated Informal Digital Learning of English: A Latent Growth Curve Modelling Study

ABSTRACT Enjoyment and engagement are critical for effective language learning, yet little is known about how these experiences evolve over time in AI‐mediated informal digital English learning (IDLE). Previous studies have mainly relied on cross‐sectional designs, limiting under...

Computational Guided Structural Design for Optimized Pore Size and Shape Metal‐Organic Framework Enabling One‐Step CH 4 and C 3 H 8 Purification From CH 4 /C 2 H 6 /C 3 H 8 Ternary Gas Mixture

ABSTRACT Current natural gas upgrading strategies primarily focus on CH 4 recovery, treating C 2 H 6 and C 3 H 8 merely as impurities, which results in resource wastage. In this work, an advanced industrial operation, simultaneous separation of both pure CH 4 and C 3 H 8 from CH...

Beyond the surveillance threat: when and how human-AI collaboration mitigates or magnifies employee privacy concerns

Does human–AI collaboration necessarily heighten employees’ concerns for information privacy? Drawing on cognitive appraisal theory, this study challenges deterministic accounts of AI and privacy by proposing a dual-appraisal mechanism. Using a mixed-methods design (time-lagged s...

The effect of social support on physical activity of hemodialysis patients : the chain mediating role of exercise self-efficacy and barriers to exercise benefits

Abstract Background Maintenance hemodialysis patients exhibit low physical activity, which is associated with sarcopenia, increased risk of cardiovascular events, and elevated all-cause mortality. Social support is an important resource for promoting healthy behaviors. But the me...

Curbing corporate greenwashing with transparency: the governance role of open government data in China
