Evaluation of Circular Pathways for Heavy‐Duty Vehicle Batteries in Europe Using a Multi‐Method Simulation Approach

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular battery strategies have become of major interest focusing on material availability while increasing economic and environmental benefits. In this context of circular economy, one main challenge for automotive original equipment manufacturers is that the most profitable handling strategy along the lifecycle is unknown.

‘The most advanced outpost of cultivation’: palynological evidence for cereal agriculture and population resilience in a marginal upland environment

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Upland farming in Europe is frequently assumed to have been limited and precarious, despite relict spade‐dug ridges providing firm evidence of past crop growing. Direct evidence for crop types in post‑Medieval to Modern (~since 1500 CE) uplands is rare; yet, in Ireland, relict spade‐dug ridges that date to this period are commonly interpreted ...

Prevalence and genotype distribution of hepatitis delta virus among chronic hepatitis B carriers in Central Vietnam.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection plays an important role in liver diseases. However, the molecular epidemiology and impact of HDV infection in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remain uncertain in Vietnam.

Press Hardening for Sustainable Lightweight Chassis Design in Heavy‐Duty Vehicles: A Material Performance and Life Cycle Assessment Approach

steel research international, EarlyView.
The article explores how high‐strength steels and press hardening revolutionize lightweight chassis design for heavy‐duty vehicles. It reveals that press hardened steels combined with shot peening can cut weight by up to 34% and reduce environmental impact by 21%–32%.

Anti-HDV IgM as a marker of disease activity in hepatitis delta. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Hepatitis delta frequently leads to liver cirrhosis and hepatic decompensation. As treatment options are limited, there is a need for biomarkers to determine disease activity and to predict the risk of disease progression.

Carriage of the Laboratory of Genetics and Physiology Protein 2 Q425R Variant Reduces Liver Disease Severity in European Patients With Chronic Hepatitis Delta

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
In patients with chronic hepatitis Delta, the LGP2 Q425R variant (rs2074158 CC/CT genotypes), associated with an enhanced interferon response in vitro, becomes progressively less frequent as liver disease advances from no cirrhosis to cirrhosis, and to cirrhosis with progressive increase of portal hypertension evaluated by thrombocytopenia.

Comparison of anti–hepatitis D virus (HDV) ETI-AB-DELTAK-2 assay and the novel LIAISON® XL MUREX anti-HDV assay in the diagnosis of HDV infection

, 2019
Hepatitis B/D virus infection leads to severe liver disease. HDV infection is not routinely investigated since the diagnosis is based on enzyme immunoassays (EIAs), which are not available in all laboratories.

HDV infection rates in northern Vietnam [PDF]

, 2018
Hepatitis D caused by the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a serious health problem in many regions of the world. A total of 546 HBV-infected patients were enrolled from 2013 to 2015 and classified clinically into the subgroups of chronic hepatitis B (CHB,

Modern pollen rain of an upland area: implications of pollen dispersal for interpreting palaeoenvironmental records

Boreas, EarlyView.
A long‐term perspective on landscape evolution is critical for understanding past land‐use activity, land cover–climate feedbacks and, notably, for establishing a factual basis for conservation. Fossil pollen analysis provides a means to achieve this. Biases pertaining to pollen productivity, pollination processes and basin size, however, mean there is
