The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Unhealthy alcohol use (UAU) screening facilitates identification of patients with alcohol use problems for intervention. This study evaluates the usefulness of gamma‐glutamyl transferase (GGT) and sequential percentage of carbohydrate‐deficient transferrin (%CDT) in community screening for UAU.

Failure Mechanisms of Short Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials Subjected to Dynamic Loading
Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Failure Mechanisms of Short Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials Subjected to Dynamic Loading. ABSTRACT The mechanical behavior of short carbon fiber reinforced polylactic acid (SCF/PLA) composites fabricated by fused deposition modeling (FDM) is crucial for engineering applications, yet their strain‐rate dependence is not fully understood.

Implementing potential climate‐smart practices through diverse partnerships
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change is one of the greatest threats to society, negatively impacting agriculture and crop yields. Globally, agriculture is also one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors. Climate‐smart practices that are developed through diverse partnerships with scientists and practitioners are needed to decrease GHG emissions. We implemented

Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.High‐precision time‐delay measurements are demonstrated using frequency‐resolved Hong‐Ou Mandel (HOM) interference with weak coherent states. The method, by exploiting the quantum eraser phenomenon, achieves low uncertainty even for delays exceeding the photon coherence time, where traditional HOM interferometry fails, thus confirming theoretical ...
