Overweight and obesity in China: a growing economic burden
The rising prevalence of overweight and obesity (OAO) over recent decades has imposed substantial health and economic burden worldwide. OAO is a well-established modifiable risk factor that increases population risk of multiple chronic associated complications, and this study qua...

Burden assessment tools in epilepsy caregiving: A scoping review
Background Informal caregivers of people with epilepsy (PWE) experience a substantial burden because of the chronic nature and unpredictability of seizures. Although several caregiver burden assessment tools are available to quantify this burden, little is known about which of th...

NAD-CD: Addressing concept drift in network IDS alert classification for Security Operations Centers
A Network Intrusion Detection System (network IDS or NIDS) is a widely used technology to enhance an organization’s security posture. A NIDS monitors the organizational network for cyber attacks, malware activity, and other malicious network traffic, raising alerts upon detecting...

RhoA Y42C drives cell plasticity and PD-1-mediated immune evasion of diffuse gastric cancer
Diffuse gastric cancer (DGC) is an aggressive gastric cancer subtype with a poor prognosis. The RHOA Y42C mutation is recurrent in DGC, but its independent oncogenic role is unclear. Next-Generation Sequencing of 431 DGC cases revealed that most RHOA mutations occurred without CD...

Systematic strategies for identifying and classifying variants that directly modulate ribosome engagement are lacking. Here, we develop and extensively validate a pipeline to identify translation-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (tranSNPs) by integrating analysis of tot...

Defect-rich BiOCl nanosheets for ultrahigh-rate aqueous alkaline batteries
Energy density and power density are critical parameters in energy storage devices. The development of “dual-high” (high energy and high power) electrode materials is a pivotal challenge in electrochemical energy storage. To achieve superior capacity retention during fast chargin...

Compatibility study between CLF-1 steel and HCCB TBM Helium gas medium for engineering qualification
Focusing on engineering qualification, a compatibility test between CN HCCB-TBM structural material CLF-1 steel and cooling gas medium (He + 30 ppm H 2 ) is presented in this study. The CLF-1 specimens are contacted with a mixed gas at a temperature of 823 K and pressure of 8 MPa...

Due to the high cost of imprisonment and high rates of recidivism, there are a growing number of programs working to divert individuals involved in non-violent drug offenses away from arrest, jail and prison. Deflection programs are those that refer people who use drugs (PWUD) to...

Wastewater treatment plants consume energy and emit greenhouse gases, and in tropical and subtropical regions, where upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors prevail, the destination given to the biogas largely determines the climate burden. The environmental performance o...

Greening cities to ensure biosphere functional integrity: Insights from Rotterdam and Lagos
The Earth Commission has proposed that 20-25% of every square kilometre of managed lands, including in cities, be reserved for nature to ensure its local functioning and human wellbeing -biosphere functional integrity boundary (BFI). This research adopted a multi-method justice-o...
