The activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) by Fe(II) or Fe(III) for environmental decontamination is severely limited by the low conversion rate from Fe(III) to Fe(II). Here, we found that this puzzling problem could virtually be solved by introducing trace amounts of S2-. With the addition of 0.2 mM...

BACKGROUND: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) that are ten-valent (PCV10) and 13-valent (PCV13) became available in 2010. We evaluated their global impact on invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) incidence in all ages. METHODS: Serotype-specific IPD cases and population denominators were obtained...

Abstract Previous studies suggested a beneficial effect of natriuretic peptides in animal models of cardiovascular disease, but the role of natriuretic peptide receptor C (NPRC) in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis (AS) remains unknown. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that NPRC may ...

BACKGROUND: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been linked to the onset, progression, and prognosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in middle-aged and elderly individuals. Nevertheless, the relationship between the TyG index and impaired cardiovascular fitness (CVF) remains unexplored in non-d...

Abstract Molecular design of polymer donors is of vital importance for obtaining high‐performance organic solar cells (OSCs). At present, much of the important progress in power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) achieved for OSCs has been associated with the benzodithiophene (BDT)‐based polymers, while...

This letter presents a high isolation substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) diplexer using dual-mode resonators. Each dual-mode SIW resonator can generate one transmission pole (TP) and one transmission zero (TZ) for the channel filter. The frequencies of the TZs can be easily controlled by the pertu...

Abstract The Einstein Probe (EP) achieved its first detection and localization of a bright X-ray flare, EP240219a, on 2024 February 19, during its commissioning phase. Subsequent targeted searches triggered by the EP240219a alert identified a faint, untriggered gamma-ray burst (GRB) in the archived ...
