Correlation between Body Roundness Index and Cardiometabolic Comorbidities in Normal Body Weight Population: the Mediating Role of the Triacylglycerol Glucose Product Index [PDF]

Zhongguo quanke yixue
Background Due to the rise in obesity rates worldwide, the prevalence of cardiometabolic comorbidities (CMM) is increasing year by year. Body roundness index (BRI) is a new obesity measure of visceral adipose tissueand the risk of BRI and CMM in people ...

Numerical simulation and physical understanding of a locally initiated sea fog event over the eastern Yellow Sea with a transition of air–sea temperature difference

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Unexpected sea fog in the west coast of South Korea had a huge impact on the transportations in the Seoul–Incheon metropolitan area. We reproduced successfully the formation and evolution of a sea event with a transition of air–sea temperature difference using the Weather Research and Forecasting model.

Unmanned Aerial Systems for Corrosion Detection: Multi‐Sensor Technologies, Challenges, and Opportunities for Next‐Generation Inspection

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Corrosion remains a critical threat to the integrity and service life of infrastructure in industries such as oil, gas, construction, renewable energy, and transportation. Traditional inspection methods, being labor‐intensive, hazardous, and often subjective, fall short in addressing modern inspection demands.

How Brazilian Public Universities Are Operationalizing The SDGs: Strategic Plans Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the importance of universities for Sustainable Development, only a handful of studies have evaluated the implementation levels of SDGs in HEIs in Latin America. To fill this void, this study examines the strategic plans of 70 Brazilian public universities, which account for 92.8% of Federal Universities.

Numerically efficient mechanical modeling of reinforced concrete membrane elements with fixed, interlocked cracks

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Compression field approaches such as the Cracked Membrane Model with fixed, interlocked cracks (CMM‐F) are efficient tools for the mechanical modeling of reinforced concrete elements, providing the mechanical model σ=fε$$ \boldsymbol{\upsigma} =f\left(\boldsymbol{\upvarepsilon} \right) $$ required for finite element analyses.

A Model Based Systems Engineering Framework for Digital Twins in Medical Device Innovation

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medical device development remains constrained by development processes centered largely in the physical domain. These methods limited early understanding of system behavior and prolonged timelines relative to other innovation pathways. Such limitations increase prototype cycle duration and the number of iterations required to resolve design ...

Geopolymers as a Sustainable Chemical Platform: From Building Materials to Advanced Functional Applications

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Geopolymers are presented as a chemically programmable platform whose properties emerge from activation chemistry, nanoscale disorder, and interfacial design. The review highlights sustainability challenges, the shift toward nanoengineered and hybrid systems, and the rise of halloysite‐based architectures enabling tunable structures across scales for ...

Desegregationist Pan‐African Spiritual Strivings: Du Bois, the Black Church and the Critique of Imperialism*

Journal of Religious History, EarlyView.
Abstract This article argues that W. E. B. Du Bois grounded his seminal conceptualisation of “the Negro church” in a Pan‐Africanist challenge to how Christian reformers and missionaries' usage of “Darkest Africa” as a metaphor for modern urban vice and poverty denigrated Africa and the African diaspora while promoting a segregated, imperialist version ...

Link prediction in ecological meta‐networks under extreme taxonomic bias

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological networks offer powerful insights into community function but, without first characterizing these networks accurately, our ability to detect and interpret changes under environmental stress is limited. We develop an extension of the Covariate‐Informed Link Prediction (COIL) framework to reduce bias in ecological link prediction when ...

From barriers to benefits: A personalized sleep intervention enhances sleep duration and emotional health in chronic short sleepers

British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This pilot study evaluated a personalized sleep intervention incorporating motivational interviewing techniques to address sleep barriers, along with tailored sleep hygiene and extension for chronic short sleepers. Eleven university students completed a 14‐day sequential intervention (baseline, sleep hygiene and a combined phase adding 90‐min ...
