Changing trends in lung cancer disease burden between China and Australia from 1990 to 2019 and its predictions by Dan Zhao, Haijun Mu, Ping Yu, Chao Deng

“…Smoking is the most common risk factor for LC, followed by particulate matter and occupational carcinogenesis. The PAF of smoking dropped in Australia (from 68.38% to 53.75% in females; 77.41% to 58.47% in males) but increased in China (from 19.56% to 26.58% in females; 80.45% to 82.03% in males) from 1990 to 2019. …”

Following Spinal Cord Injury Transected Reticulospinal Tract Axons Develop New Collateral Inputs to Spinal Interneurons in Parallel with Locomotor Recovery by Zacnicte May, Keith K. Fenrich, Julia Dahlby, Nicholas J. Batty, Abel Torres-Espín, Karim Fouad

“…In one group of the animals, the T7 SCI was performed 2 weeks after the T10 SCI (delayed; dSTAG), and in another group, the T10 and T7 SCIs were concomitant (cSTAG). dSTAG animals had significantly more RtST-PrIN contacts in the grey matter compared to cSTAG animals (p<0.05). These results were accompanied by enhanced locomotor recovery with dSTAG animals significantly outperforming cSTAG animals (BBB test; p<0.05). …”

Thin Film CIGS Solar Cells, Photovoltaic Modules, and the Problems of Modeling by Antonino Parisi, Luciano Curcio, Vincenzo Rocca, Salvatore Stivala, Alfonso C. Cino, Alessandro C. Busacca, Giovanni Cipriani, Diego La Cascia, Vincenzo Di Dio, Rosario Miceli, Giuseppe Ricco Galluzzo

“…Starting from the results regarding a nonvacuum technique to fabricate CIGS thin films for solar cells by means of single-step electrodeposition, we focus on the methodological problems of modeling at cell structure and photovoltaic module levels. As a matter of fact, electrodeposition is known as a practical alternative to costly vacuum-based technologies for semiconductor processing in the photovoltaic device sector, but it can lead to quite different structural and electrical properties. …”

Ultrawide bandgap semiconductor h-BN for direct detection of fast neutrons by J. Li, A. Tingsuwatit, Z. Alemoush, J. Y. Lin, H. X. Jiang

“…However, direct detection of fast neutrons with energies above 1 MeV is highly challenging due to the extremely low interaction cross section of fast neutrons with matter. We report the successful attainment of 0.4 mm thick freestanding h-BN 4″-diameter wafers, which enabled the demonstration of h-BN fast neutron detectors capable of delivering a detection efficiency of 2.2% in response to a bare AmBe neutron source. …”

Accounting for retarded weathering products in comparing methods for quantifying carbon dioxide removal in a short-term enhanced weathering study by Emily E. E. M. te Pas, Elliot Chang, Elliot Chang, Alison R. Marklein, Rob N. J. Comans, Mathilde Hagens

“…Further investigation of the fate of retarded weathering products showed that small portions precipitated as carbonate minerals (up to 34.0%) or adsorbed to reactive surfaces, such as soil organic matter and clay minerals (up to 32.5%). Hence, a large portion of weathering products may be retained in the soil due to strong adsorption and/or further mineral precipitation reactions (31.6–92.7%), with potentially important implications for the quantification of CDR across time. …”
