Impacts of climate change risk and economic policy uncertainty on carbon prices: Configuration analysis from a complex system perspective.

Despite a vast amount of research examining the antecedent variables of carbon prices, the impact of climate change risk on carbon prices has been rarely explored. This study adopted a complex system perspective and applied NCA and fsQCA models to analyze regional climate physical risk (CPR) and climate transition risk (CTR) from a complex system perspective. The results suggested that the primary factors affecting the Hubei carbon price included coal prices, market regulation, and national carbon market prices, and carbon prices could be higher in response to higher levels of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) combined with other factors.

Hypothermic Oxygenated machine PErfusion for high-risk liver grafts for transplantation: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Hypothermic Oxygenated machine PErfusion (HOPE) can reduce ischemic reperfusion injury and improve outcomes for liver transplant recipients. However, the effect of HOPE on high-risk extended criteria donor (ECD) and donation after circulatory death determination (DCDD) grafts is incomplete, despite the expectation that this cohort benefit maximally from HOPE. Accordingly, this paper aims to characterize the effect of HOPE on ECD and DCDD grafts.

The reduction of nitrobenzene by Fe(II)-goethite-hematite heterogeneous systems: Insight from thermodynamic parameters of reduction potential.

Determining the contaminants reduction rate by dissolved ferrous iron (Fe(II)) bound to iron oxides is curial for evaluating the abiotic attenuation of contaminants in aquifers. However, few studies have assessed the contaminants reduction rate controlled by thermodynamic parameters in heterogeneous systems with different iron oxides. In this study, a linear free energy relationship (LFER) was established between the nitrobenzene reduction rate and the thermodynamic driving force (reduction potential (E) and pH) in Fe(II)-goethite-hematite co-existing systems.

Cationic covalent organic framework nanosheets as the coating layer of commercial separator for high-efficiency lithium-sulfur batteries.

Ion-selective separators, are crucial and in high demand for maximizing the performance of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, which can conduct lithium ions while efficiently blocking polysulfides. However, commercial separators cannot effectively block the shuttle of polysulfides after multiple cycles due to their large porosity and easy dissolution, resulting in a reduced battery life. Herein, a covalent organic framework nanosheets (CON) ion-coated separator is prepared on the commercial separator.

Tracing toxic path of antimony: From bioaccumulation to DNA hypomethylation in zebrafish (Danio rerio).

The increasing concentration of Antimony (Sb) in ecological environments has raised serious concerns about its potential biotoxicological impact. This study investigated the toxicokinetics, Global DNA Methylation (GDM), biomarker expression, and Integrated Biological Response (IBR) of Sb at different concentrations in zebrafish. The toxic mechanism of Sb exposure was simulated using molecular dynamics (MD).

Return of the cold: How hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion is changing liver transplantation.

Hypothermic Oxygenated machine PErfusion (HOPE) has recently emerged as a preservation technique which can reduce ischemic injury and improve clinical outcomes following liver transplantation. First developed with the advent solid organ transplantation techniques, hypothermic machine perfusion largely fell out of favour following the development of preservation solutions which can satisfactorily preserve grafts using the cheap and simple method, static cold storage (SCS). However, with an increasing need to develop techniques to reduce graft injury and better utilise marginal and donation after circulatory death (DCD) grafts, HOPE has emerged as a relatively simple and safe technique to optimise clinical outcomes following liver transplantation.

Comparative study on differential expression analysis methods for single-cell RNA sequencing data with small biological replicates: Based on single-cell transcriptional data of PBMCs from COVID-19 severe patients.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a high-throughput experimental technique for studying gene expression at the single-cell level. As a key component of single-cell data analysis, differential expression analysis (DEA) serves as the foundation for all subsequent secondary studies. Despite the fact that biological replicates are of vital importance in DEA process, small biological replication is still common in sequencing experiment now, which may impose problems to current DEA methods.
