Elevated Hemoglobin Levels and Risk of ST‐Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction in High‐Altitude Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Retrospective Analysis

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background High‐altitude populations typically exhibit elevated hemoglobin (Hb) levels due to chronic hypoxic exposure; however, the impact of this elevation on the risk of ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains unclear. Existing evidence is primarily derived from low‐altitude populations and cannot be directly extrapolated

Decentralized Wind Energy Systems as Catalysts for Urban Resilience: A Design Framework

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Confronting the escalating extreme weather events (EWEs) and intensifying winds, this study proposes an active response to these issues by exploring decentralized wind energy production for Peng Chau Island, Hong Kong. It integrates theoretical perspectives on energy democracy—empowering local communities through energy autonomy—and urban ...

Unveiling human–wildlife interactions in the context of livestock grazing abandonment and the return of large carnivores, ungulates and vultures: A stakeholder perspective

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Pastoral practices remain a widespread economic activity across European mountain regions. However, the viability of this activity may be threatened by the recovery of large wild vertebrates associated with passive rewilding, leading to the so‐called human–wildlife conflicts.

Moist convection and radiative cooling: Dynamical response and scaling

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The mechanism that sets the updraught velocities in deep convective clouds is studied here using cloud‐resolving model simulations in radiative–convective equilibrium. We show that, for simulations with vastly different rates of radiative cooling and surface temperatures, the buoyancy in clouds remains remarkably constant (histogram shown here).
