The global dynamics of traveling-wave patterns in convection in a mixture of ethanol in water is studied in different cell geometries: circular, rectangular, and stadium-shaped cells. The dynamics in these cells differ greatly, changing from a globally rotating state in the circular cell, to one large domain of locally parallel traveling waves in the rectangular cell, to a continually chaotic state in the stadium cell. In all three cases, the patterns can be described in terms of the phase of the complex order parameter. Disorder in the patterns is quantified in terms of topological defects in the phase field. While the numbers, net charge, and dynamics of defects differ greatly in the patterns in the three cells, the local dynamics of the defects, as measured by the defect-defect correlation functions, are similar.

Thanks to the progress of science and technology, human life expectancy has dramatically increased in the past few decades, but accompanied by rapid ageing of population, resulting in increased burden on society. At the same time, the living environment, especially the electromagnetic environment, has also greatly changed due to science and technology advances. The effect of artificial electromagnetic fields (EMFs) emitted from power lines, mobile phones, wireless equipment, and other devices on ageing and ageing-related diseases are receiving increasing attention.

Background: The significant distal necrosis of the random-pattern skin flaps greatly restricts their clinical applications in flap transplantation. Previous studies have demonstrated the potential of danshensu (DSS) to alleviate ischemic tissue injury. However, no research to date has confirmed whether DSS can improve the survival of ischemic flaps.

Microalgae-based wastewater treatment could realize simultaneous nutrients recovery and CO sequestration. However, impacts of environmental microplastics (MPs) and antibiotic co-exposure on microalgal growth, nutrients removal, intracellular nitric oxide (NO) accumulation and subsequent nitrous oxide (NO) emission are unclarified, which could greatly offset the CO sequestration benefit. To reveal the potential impacts of environmental concentrations of MPs and antibiotic co-exposure on microalgal greenhouse gas mitigation, this study investigated the effects of representative MPs (PE, PVC, PA), antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (SMX), and nitrite (NO-N) in various combinations on attached Chlorella sorokiniana growth, nutrients removal, anti-oxidative responses, and NO emission originated from intracellular NO build-up.

Background And Aim: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant global health burden, and screening can greatly reduce CRC incidence and mortality. Previous studies investigated the economic effects of CRC screening. We performed a systematic review to provide the cost-effectiveness of CRC screening strategies across countries with different income levels.

Background: Childhood remains a vulnerable period and a key determiner for adult health. Various illnesses experienced by children in their early years determine future performance and contribution to society. Acute and chronic infectious diseases, undernutrition, and early childhood non-communicable diseases have greatly been linked to intellectual disability, poor childhood development, increased morbidity, and household and healthcare economic costs.
