Epidemiology of Pancreatic Carcinoma in Canada: 1931 to 1985 by Anthony Ayiomamitis

“…Age standardized mortality rates have risen sharply in both males (2.0 to 9.5 deaths per 100,000 population per year) and females (2.2 to 5.7 deaths per 100.000 population per year) during 1931 ro 1985 (P < 0.0001). The increase in standarized rates, 0.14 and 0.07 additional deaths per 100,000 population per year in males and females, respectively, is attributable to significant increases in age specific rates for males and females aged 35 to 44, 45 to 54, 55 to 64, 65 to 74, 75 co 84 and over 85 years old ( P ≤ 0.0005) in whom rates have risen by as much as 2.5 additional deaths per 100,000 population per year. …”

Turning the Surface Electronic Effect Over Core‐Shell CoS2─FexCo1‐xS2 Nanooctahedra Toward Electrochemical Water Splitting in the Alkaline Medium by Lian‐Ming Lyu, Yu‐Chung Chang, Han‐Jung Li, Pei‐En Wang, Ruei‐Hung Juang, Ming‐Yen Lu, Cheng‐Shiuan Li, Chun‐Hong Kuo

“…By various X‐ray spectroscopies as well as electron microscopy, the results showed that the shells of CoS2─FexCo1‐xS2 nanooctahedra formed the {111} surfaces of Fe0.9Co1.0S2 and Fe0.25Co0.75S2 with and without the promotion by OH− anions during the syntheses. Catalyzed by the CoS2, Fe0.25Co0.75S2, and Fe0.9Co1.0S2 {111} surfaces, the results of alkaline OER and HER indicated the Fe0.9Co1.0S2 the most superior activities by virtue of the optimized Fe─Co electronic effect. …”
