Both ecological regime shifts and carbon cycling in lakes have been the subject of global debates in recent years. However, the direct linkage between them is poorly understood. Lake Baiyangdian, a representative large shallow lake with the coexistence of a macrophyte-dominated area (MDA) and an algae-dominated area (ADA) in eastern China, allowing better understanding of the relationship between regime shifts and organic carbon (OC) burial in lakes.

- Recent studies have focused on rare earth (RE) inclusions, particularly LaOS, as potential heterogeneous nucleation sites in liquid steel, which remains a challenging area of research.
- The edge-to-edge matching (E2EM) model was used to analyze the orientation relationship between LaOS and γ-Fe, predicting specific atomic alignments and orientations with minimal mismatch.
- Interface energy calculations indicated that while LaOS particles exhibit certain stable bonding characteristics, they are not effective as nucleation sites in the γ-Fe matrix from both a crystallographic and energetic perspective.
Objective: Obesity and sarcopenia are known to be closely related to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We attempted to explore the combined influence of fat and muscle tissue on NAFLD by using visceral fat area to appendicular muscle mass ratio (VAR) as a novel parameter.
Material And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 3255 adults (1399 men and 1856 women) coming for a health examination were enrolled.
Background: A significant positive association was found in previous studies among obesity, visceral fat accumulation, and hyperuricemia. The purpose of this study was to explore the association between the ratio of visceral fat area to leg muscle mass (VFA-to-LMM) and hyperuricemia, and verify the role of gender differences in the association.
Methods: A total of 3393 (43.
