Global importance of Amazonian freshwaters

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Amazonian freshwaters have large influences on regional and global climate, harbor remarkable and unique species, and are vital to human society. Nevertheless, as compared to their terrestrial counterparts in the Amazon, these freshwaters have received less attention from the international conservation community.

Over one‐third of cancer cases and two‐fifths of cancer deaths in southern China are preventable: Insights from the latest representative population‐based cancer registry data and risk factor survey

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? This study quantified the cancer burden attributable to modifiable risk factors in Guangdong, the most populous and economically advanced province in southern China. By evaluating 15 modifiable risk factors, the study reveals that over one‐third of cancer cases and two‐fifths of cancer deaths in the region could potentially be prevented ...

Noncausal AR‐ARCH Model and Its Applications to Financial Time Series

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We extend the noncausal autoregressive models by introducing noncausality into the variance component, allowing the volatility to depend on future prices as well. We refer to this model as the noncausal AR‐ARCH model, and it enables us to account for shocks arising from market agents who possess more information and engage in forward‐looking ...

Dynamics of Cardiometabolic Risk Factors Are Linked to the Risk of Hypertension and Diabetes in MASLD

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact of cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRF) on the prevalence and incidence of hypertension (HTN) and diabetes mellitus (DM) in individuals with metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and nonsteatotic liver disease (non‐SLD), using both cross‐sectional and longitudinal data. A total of 32,

Generation of Two‐Cycle Light Bullets With 2.0 mJ Energy via Self‐Compression of 5‐µm Pulses in Zinc Sulfide

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Simultaneous temporal soliton self‐compression with simultaneous formation of a radial Townes profile is reported for millijoule pulses at 4.9 µm wavelength in ZnS. Pulses as short as 37 fs are generated in a 1‐kHz pulse train. The compression regime appears below the onset of filamentation, yielding two‐cycle pulses with 2.0 mJ energy which translates

Circularity in 3D Printing with Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate Glycol): Copolymer Composition Dependent Degradation During Recycling

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Circular recycling of PETG using 3D printing leads to the development of crystalline inclusions of oligomers generated from thermomechanical degradation during recycling. However, the concentration of crystals generated depends on the PETG sourcing that is associated with its molar mass and copolymer composition.
