Toward a sustainable megalopolis by reconciling power system decarbonization and urban health resilience
Climate change is intensifying heatwaves, increasing outage risks and potentially deadly heat exposure when cooling is disrupted. Our study examines how decarbonization may amplify these risks and proposes a health-aware planning pathway to reduce heatwave-related excess deaths.
Cytomegalovirus Disease in Renal Allograft Recipients in the Current Immunosuppression Era
We aimed to determine the incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in renal transplant recipients in the era of imunosuppression, to determine the incidence of CMV recurrence in renal transplant recipients.
Making “Non-Stick” Fluoropolymers Stick: A Dry Plasma Route to Strong Rubber–Fluoropolymer Composite Tubes
PFA fluoropolymers resist heat and chemicals but hardly bond to rubber. We use dry dielectric barrier discharge in acrylic acid vapor to activate PFA tubes, enabling strong hot-pressed bonding to AEM rubber without wet etching.
