Reconfiguration of in situ heterojunction composites without interfacial resistance by substitution of homologous anions for the formation of gradient work function differences inducing the formation of built-in electric field is an effective strategy to enhance the charge separation efficiency. Herein, Te/ZnInS-V (Te/ZIS-V) in situ heterojunction was synthesized by substitution of Te ions for S in ultrathin ZIS containing S vacancies, which can significantly promote photogenerated charge separation, surface electron enrichment, and CO adsorption/activation. The presence of S vacancies and adjacent Te/S double anions, the double active sites constructed by defect engineering promote the desorption of *CO molecules while inhibiting the protonation toward *CHO, which was more favorable for selective CO photoreduction to CO.

However, lack of chemical stability, mechanical strength and self-perfection for conventional SEI cannot persistently suppress Li dendrites, leading to inferior cycling life. Herein, MAX phases (TiSnC and TiSC) as triple functional artificial SEI (ASEI) with high modulus, chemical stability and self-smoothing ability are introduced on Li foils (TiSnC@Li and TiSC@Li) for ultralong life Li metal anodes (LMAs).

Herein, a bimetallic selenide of MoSe/CoSe@N-doped carbon (NC) composites with hollow core-branch nanostructures are synthesized via the selenization treatment of MoO nanorods coated with ZIF-67. By adjusting the mass ratio of ZIF-67 to MoO, the electromagnetic parameters and morphologies of composites are finely tuned, further ameliorating the impedance matching and EMWA performances.

Background: Pancreatic cancer is among the most fatal human cancers and the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Evidence suggests that chronic inflammation may play a role in pancreatic carcinogenesis and its inhibition through nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) may reduce pancreatic cancer incidence.
Methods: We examined associations of total and individual NSAIDs with pancreatic cancer risk among postmenopausal women participating in the Women's Health Initiative observational study and clinical trial cohorts.
Background And Aims: Tea and coffee are widely consumed beverages worldwide. We evaluated their association with biliary tract cancer (BTC) incidence.
Approach And Results: We pooled data from 15 studies in the Biliary Tract Cancers Pooling Project to evaluate associations between tea and coffee consumption and biliary tract cancer development.
Aquaculture ponds (APs) are rapidly expanding globally and are considered crucial for guaranteeing the supply of food, population growth, and economic development. However, the rapid expansion of aquaculture not only brought benefits but also a series of eco-environmental issues, such as water eutrophication. To achieve sustainable development, it is essential to gain a profound understanding of the spatiotemporal evolution of APs, the drivers behind their dynamics, and their relationship with the aquatic environment.

Hysterectomy is associated with an increased risk for adverse health outcomes. However, its connection to the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) remains unclear. The aims of our study were to investigate the associations between hysterectomy, oophorectomy and risk of NHL and its major subtypes (eg, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma [DLBCL]), and whether these associations were modified by exogenous hormone use.

Remote sensing (RS) offers a powerful tool for large-scale SAV biomass retrieval. Given the underwater location of SAV, the spectral signal in RS data often exhibits weakness, capturing primarily horizontal structure rather than volumetric information crucial for biomass assessment.

Lakes are major emitters of methane (CH); however, a longstanding challenge with quantifying the magnitude of emissions remains as a result of large spatial and temporal variability. This study was designed to address the issue using satellite remote sensing with the advantages of spatial coverage and temporal resolution. Using Aqua/MODIS imagery (2003-2020) and measured data (2011-2017) in eutrophic Lake Taihu, we compared the performance of eight machine learning models to predict diffusive CH emissions and found that the random forest (RF) model achieved the best fitting accuracy ( = 0.

Background: Associations of weight changes and intentionality of weight loss with longevity are not well described.
Methods: Using longitudinal data from the Women's Health Initiative (N = 54 437; 61-81 years), we examined associations of weight changes and intentionality of weight loss with survival to ages 90, 95, and 100. Weight was measured at baseline, year 3, and year 10, and participants were classified as having weight loss (≥5% decrease from baseline), weight gain (≥5% increase from baseline), or stable weight (<5% change from baseline).

Background: Individuals diagnosed with an obesity-related cancer (ORC survivors) are at an elevated risk of incident diabetes compared with cancer-free individuals, but whether this confers survival disadvantage is unknown.
Methods: We assessed the rate of incident diabetes in ORC survivors and evaluated the association of incident diabetes with all-cause and cancer-specific mortality among females with ORC in the Women's Health Initiative cohort (N = 14,651). Cox proportional hazards regression models stratified by exposure-risk periods (0-1, >1-3, >3-5, >5-7, and >7-10 years) from ORC diagnosis and time-varying exposure (diabetes) analyses were performed.
