Species composition and abundance of crustose coralline algae and formation of Xinfeng algal reef in Northwestern Taiwan.

The composition and abundance of crustose coralline algae (CCA) have been documented in the Xinfeng algal reef (XAR). Eight CCA species were identified, including four in Phymatolithon (P. margoundulatum, P.

Impact of shallow hydrothermal vent waters on monsoonal copepod distribution and abundance around active volcanic island off northeast Taiwan, West Pacific.

Extreme oceanic environments such as shallow hydrothermal vents (HVs) have rarely been investigated with respect to their impact on the water column and its organisms, such as zooplankton. We collected mesozooplankton from the near shore shallow HV areas off northeast Taiwan during three distinct monsoonal periods in 2022. The results showed the occurrence of 99 copepod species belonging to 24 families and 49 genera from a one-year study.

Thermal Cycling Behavior of Aged FeNiCoAlTiNb Cold-Rolled Shape Memory Alloys.

Fe-Ni-Co-Al-based systems have attracted a lot of interest due to their large recoverable strain. In this study, the microstructure and thermal cycling behaviors of FeNiCoAlTiNb (at.%) 98.

Real-world outcomes of everolimus-based treatment in a Taiwanese cohort with metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer.

Background: Everolimus was the first orally targeted therapy for certain cancers. It was introduced before CDK4/6 inhibitors and is widely used to treat advanced hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer. This study presents comprehensive findings including updated data and long-term survival analyses focusing on patients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer who received everolimus-based treatment.
