Using WRF-UCM as Boundary Forcing for Microscale Models in Data-Scarce Urban Environments

Abstract. Urban microclimate models are widely used to analyse urban heat island effects and thermal conditions at fine spatial scales. However, microscale models such as ENVI-met require detailed meteorological forcing data, which are often unavailable or insufficient in many ur...

Music synesthesia or cross-modal correspondences? A systematic review of terminology and findings in multisensory research on Chinese music

This systematic review examines the use of multisensory terminology and the main findings of English-language studies on Chinese music published from 2002 to 2022. Following PRISMA guidelines (Page et al., 2021), studies were identifi ed through searches of Web of Science, Scopus...

Navigating Gender Microaggressions: Coping Practices and Organizational Dynamics in Gendered Higher Education Institutions

ABSTRACT Despite sustained policy efforts to address gender inequality, women academics continue to encounter subtle and often normalized forms of discrimination within higher education institutions (HEIs). While prior research has documented these dynamics through concepts such...

Stress‐induced trained immunity—A key mechanism linking psychosocial stress, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease

Although chronic psychosocial stress is a well-established independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), the underlying mechanisms linking stress to CVD remain incompletely understood. Here, we review clinical and preclinical research documenting how stress can activa...

Efficacy and Safety Analysis of Single‐Port Robotic Assisted Cholecystectomy Using a Novel Surgical Platform: A Bicentre, Single‐Arm, Prospective Phase II Clinical Study

ABSTRACT Background Single‐port robotic cholecystectomy offers minimally invasive benefits. This trial evaluated the feasibility and safety of a novel system, MicroPort SA‐1000. Methods In this dual centre, single‐arm, prospective study, eligible patients underwent single‐port ro...

Transition from mandatory to discretionary nurse-measured MEWS assessment in a continuously monitored surgical ward: Diagnostic performance of wearable-derived early warning scores

Abstract Early detection of clinical deterioration on surgical wards is vital to prevent adverse outcomes. Conventional ward monitoring using the Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) relies on intermittent nurse-measured vital signs, but its role may change when continuous wearabl...

B-Matching Interdiction Problem on Undirected Trees

In this paper, we consider a network optimization interdiction problem, called the [Formula: see text]-matching interdiction problem on undirected trees with unit edge weights. Given an undirected tree [Formula: see text], each vertex [Formula: see text] has a capacity [Formula:...

Expected costs and benefits of genetic counselling and germline genetic testing in metastatic prostate cancer

Abstract Identifying pathogenic germline variants in men with metastatic prostate cancer is important for therapeutic options and for identifying relatives who may have a high cancer risk. To keep genetic testing costs manageable, it is important to identify which patients should...

Visible‐Light Photocatalytic Functionalization of Aryl Chlorides and Fluorides

ABSTRACT Aryl chlorides and fluorides are inexpensive and readily available feedstocks; however, the high bond dissociation energies and low polarizability of C Ar ─X (Cl, F) bonds have long posed significant challenges to classical thermal activation, which is often harsh and po...

The Effects and Mechanisms of Thermal Oxygen Aging on Trap Characteristics and Electrical Performance of Functional Group‐Grafted Materials for HVDC Cable Insulation

ABSTRACT In this study, N‐allylaniline (NA), a functional monomer possessing both deep trap‐inducing and antioxidant capabilities, was grafted onto cross‐linked polyethylene (XLPE) to prepare XLPE‐g‐NA. Both XLPE and XLPE‐g‐NA were subjected to thermo‐oxidative aging, and their p...
