Article Abstract
Information concerning the link between surface-water photochemistry and climate is presently very scarce as only a few studies have been dedicated to the subject. On the basis of the limited knowledge that is currently available, the present inferences can be made as follows: (1) Warming can cause enhanced leaching of ionic solutes from the catchments to surface waters, including cations and more biologically labile anions such as sulphate. Preferential sulphate biodegradation followed by removal as organic sulphides in sediment could increase alkalinity, favouring the generation of the carbonate radical, CO3 (·-). However, this phenomenon would be easily offset by fluctuations of the dissolved organic carbon (DOC), which is strongly anticorrelated with CO3 (·-). Therefore, obtaining insight into DOC evolution is a key issue in understanding the link between photochemistry and climate. (2) Climate change could exacerbate water scarcity in the dry season in some regions. Fluctuations in the water column could deeply alter photochemistry that is usually favoured in shallower waters. However, the way water is lost would strongly affect the prevailing photoinduced processes. Water outflow without important changes in solute concentration would mostly favour reactions induced by the hydroxyl and carbonate radicals (·OH and CO3 (·-)). In contrast, evaporative concentration would enhance reactions mediated by singlet oxygen ((1)O2) and by the triplet states of chromophoric dissolved organic matter ((3)CDOM*). (3) In a warmer climate, the summer stratification period of lakes would last longer, thereby enhancing photochemical reactions in the epilimnion but at the same time keeping the hypolimnion water in the dark for longer periods.

Article Synopsis
- The invention of lasers and inorganic second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals has revolutionized technology by enabling unique frequency conversions, essential for various applications including information transmission and industrial uses.
- As the demand for shorter wavelengths and higher precision lasers increases, there is a pressing need for high-performance ultraviolet NLO materials, especially those with wavelengths less than 300 nm.
- Current methods of discovering these materials are often inefficient and based on trial-and-error; therefore, a three-step strategy is proposed for a more rational design, focusing on screening new functional groups, regulating crystal structures, and optimizing synthesis to meet stringent performance criteria.
Why the ROS matters: One-electron oxidants focus DNA damage and repair on G-quadruplexes for gene regulation.

Hydrogen peroxide is a precursor to reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells because of its high reactivity with iron(II) carbonate complexes formed in the labile iron pool due to a high concentration of intracellular bicarbonate (25-100 mM). This chemistry leads to the formation of carbonate radical anion rather than hydroxyl radical, and unlike the latter ROS, CO is a milder one-electron oxidant with high specificity for guanine oxidation in DNA and RNA. In addition to metabolism, another major source of DNA oxidation is inflammation which generates peroxynitrite, another precursor to CO via reaction with dissolved CO.

Purpose: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is common among females undergoing gynecological surgeries. PONV not only causes patients discomfort but also leads to serious complications, affecting their health outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of applying auricular acupressure to alleviate PONV and postoperative anxiety and to improve satisfaction with anesthesia care in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery (GLS).

To understand how the human brain distinguishes itself from external stimulation, it was examined if motor predictions enable healthy adult volunteers to infer self-location and to distinguish their body from the environment (and other agents). By uniquely combining a VR-setup with full-body motion capture, a full-body illusion paradigm (FBI) was developed with different levels of motion control: (A) a standard, passive FBI in which they had no motion control; (B) an active FBI in which they made simple, voluntary movements; and (C) an immersive game in which they real-time controlled a human-sized avatar in third person. Systematic comparisons between measures revealed a causal relationship between (i) motion control (prospective agency), (ii) self-other identification, and (iii) the ability to locate oneself.

High-efficacy recycling of spent lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO ) batteries is one of the key tasks in realizing a global resource security strategy due to the rareness of lithium (Li) and cobalt (Co) resources. However, it is of great significance to develop the innovative recycle methods for spent LiCoO , simultaneously realizing the efficient recovery of valuable elements and the regeneration of high-performance LiCoO . Herein, a novel strategy of regenerating LiCoO cathode is proposed, which involves the preparation of micro-spherical aluminum (Al)-doped lithium-lacked precursor (Li Co Al CO remarked as "PLCAC") via ammonium bicarbonate coprecipitation.
