Artificial light at night alters seaweed reproductive phenology

Environmental Pollution
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a growing, globally prevalent environmental stressor. It is known to disrupt biological processes across taxa and biomes, including reproductive phenology in terrestrial plants, but its potential to alter reproductive timings in marine macroalgae remains unexplored.

Smart Charging With Hourly Pricing as Policy Intervention: Reducing Costs and Grid Congestion for Promoting Electric Vehicles in Developing Countries

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Smart charging with hourly pricing optimizes electric vehicle (EV) charging in developing countries, reducing EV owner costs by 30% and easing grid congestion. Using an agent‐based energy management system, the study shows dynamic pricing effectively shifts charging to off‐peak hours, enhancing grid stability and supporting sustainable EV adoption in ...

Development of a Zebrafish Embryo‐Based Test System for Thyroid Hormone System Disruption: 3Rs in Ecotoxicological Research

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract There is increasing concern regarding pollutants disrupting the vertebrate thyroid hormone (TH) system, which is crucial for development. Thus, identification of TH system–disrupting chemicals (THSDCs) is an important requirement in the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) testing framework.

Artificial light at night disrupts fertility in Drosophila melanogaster

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology
Artificial light at night (ALAN) can disrupt numerous biological processes, and is increasingly studied in animal models. Here, we evaluated the impact of red and blue ALAN on Drosophila melanogaster, focusing on fertility, development, circadian rhythms, and gene expression. All results were compared to those of a control group maintained under a 12 h

Characterization of Cantaloupe, Grape, Pumpkin, and Tomato Seed Oils From Xinjiang: Oxidative Stability, Volatile‐Compound Analysis, and Sensory Evaluation

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
This study compares oxidative stability, fatty acid profiles, volatile compounds, and sensory attributes of four Xinjiang seed oils. Distinct aldehyde‐driven aroma patterns and compositional differences were revealed, providing a scientific basis for quality evaluation and valorization of underutilized plant seed oils in food applications.

Monitoring and assessment for obstructive sleep apnea

FlexMat, EarlyView.
This review systematically classifies Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) monitoring indicators into three categories: physical, biochemical, and electrophysiological indicators, and lists several methods for each category. Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic sleep‐disordered breathing disease characterized by recurrent upper airway ...
