Safety of Sodium‐Ion Batteries: Evaluation and Perspective from Component Materials to Cells, Modules, and Packs

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This review provides a bottom‐up evaluation of sodium‐ion battery safety, linking material degradation mechanisms, cell engineering parameters, and module/pack assembly. It emphasizes that understanding intrinsic material stability and establishing coordinated engineering control across hierarchical levels are vital for preventing degradation coupling ...

The intersection of health inequalities and COVID‐19: Evidence from National Health Insurance Big Data in South Korea

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Health inequalities persist along lines of income and wealth, shaped by unequal access to healthcare, differences in health behaviors, and pre‐existing chronic conditions. The COVID‐19 pandemic further put families in Korea under health strain and worsened their health outcomes.

Costs of ventilation systems for the retrofit of residential buildings

, 2017
Paper 235, 10 S.The cost of energy retrofit is the main barrier to an increase of the retrofit rate in Europe. Among the retrofit measures, ventilation is often neglected to allow a more significant part of the budget to façade insulation, window ...

Histidine Supplementation Stabilizes Hearing and Vision and Improves Growth in HARS1‐Related Autosomal Recessive Disorder Associated With Usher‐Like Symptoms

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autosomal recessive HARS1‐related disorder (originally described as Usher syndrome type 3B) caused by a homozygous Y454S variant in the histidyl‐tRNA synthetase gene (HARS1) is characterized by progressive sensorineural hearing and vision loss and respiratory deterioration with risk for sudden death following febrile illnesses.

A preclinical mouse model mimicking the ovarian cancer‐induced estrogen deficiency‐depression axis

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
A preclinical mouse model of ovarian cancer–related depression was developed by combining intraperitoneal tumor cell injection, ovariectomy, and chronic restraint stress. The model replicates key clinical features including estrogen deficiency, depressive‐like behaviors, and tumor progression, and provides a reliable tool for studying the endocrine ...
