Bi-model optimization of a carbon tax for emission reduction

Cleaner and Responsible Consumption
The Paris Agreement mandated high-greenhouse-emitting countries implement carbon pricing to accelerate emission reduction to cope with environmental challenges posed by climate change.

Importin 7 mediates the nuclear import of HIV‐1 integrase via a specific interacting interface

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
HIV‐1 integrase enables viral DNA integration into the host genome. By binding to the core domain of the host protein Importin 7 via its C‐terminal domain, the integrase is transported across the nuclear membrane into the nucleus, where integration of the viral genome into host DNA takes place. This translocation is a critical step for subsequent viral

Exploring the growth and influencing factors of carbon emissions in rural households of underdeveloped regions in China

Cleaner and Responsible Consumption
Carbon emissions from rural households in underdeveloped regions remain poorly understood compared to those in urban and developed areas. This study analyzes household carbon emissions in Xunyang County, China, demonstrating that food-related emissions ...

Ionomycin suppresses cancer cell growth by disrupting mitochondrial transcription

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, we identify a new function for the selective Ca2+ ionophore, ionomycin, as an inhibitor of mitochondrial transcription. Both total and nascent RNA analyses revealed that ionomycin treatment reduces the transcription of mitochondrial genes.

From intention to practice: how materials, competences, and meanings shape the mobile phone practice constellation

Cleaner and Responsible Consumption
Despite widespread environmental awareness, global e-waste recycling rates remain stagnant at approximately 20 %, indicating a persistent gap between pro-environmental intentions and actual behaviors. This study applies Social Practice Theory's elemental

Dose‐dependent hepatotoxicity of hydrogen peroxide in HepG2 cells and its modulation by CYP450 induction

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
NMR metabolomics revealed concentration‐dependent metabolic perturbations in HepG2 cells exposed to H2O2. Rifampicin pretreatment enhanced metabolic competence, attenuated toxin‐induced alterations and produced metabolite profiles more consistent with human liver physiology, supporting the use of CYP450‐induced HepG2 models for improved in vitro ...

Accurate and noninvasive prostate cancer detection using plasma‐derived extracellular vesicle RNA

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Plasma extracellular vesicles were captured with WGA‐conjugated magnetic beads and profiled for RNA biomarkers. A three‐RNA panel (NM_024955, NR_047469, and NR_002564) distinguished prostate cancer from healthy controls and benign prostatic hyperplasia, supporting a simple, noninvasive approach to improve prostate cancer detection.

Understanding household biogas failures in Nepal: A socio-technical failure mode analysis

Cleaner and Responsible Consumption
Household biogas offers a sustainable alternative to traditional biomass-based cooking in developing countries. However, their long-term functionality is often hindered by technical, socioeconomic, and institutional barriers.

Consumption Response to Expected Future Income [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009
This paper shows empirical evidence in favor of forward-looking household consumption--that consumption today depends directly on household-specific ex-ante expectations of future income. This analysis is unique in using a direct consumption measure combined with an ex-ante household-specific measure of expected future income, constructed from detailed
