The Association between Zinc and Copper and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Adults by Al Kudsi, Dana Samir

“…High Zn/Cu ratio increased the prevalence of low HDL (4.508; p?0.001) and MetS (5.570; p?0.01). These findings suggest that high Cu levels are associated with a protective effect on DBP, HDL, and MetS and that high plasma Zn/Cu ratio is associated with the risk of low HDL and MetS. …”

Global, regional, and national stillbirths at 20 weeks' gestation or longer in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2021: findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Comfort, Haley

“…The estimated number of stillbirths occurring at 20 weeks' gestation or longer decreased from 5·08 million (95% UI 4·07–6·35) in 1990 to 3·04 million (2·61–3·62) in 2021, corresponding to a 39·8% (31·8–48·0) reduction, which lagged behind a global improvement in neonatal deaths of 45·6% (36·3–53·1) for the same period (down from 4·03 million [3·86–4·22] neonatal deaths in 1990). …”

Facile Electrochemical Synthesis of Highly Efficient Copper-Cobalt Oxide Nanostructures for Oxygen Evolution Reactions by Nath, Narayan Chandra Deb

“…An optimized nanopetal structure of CuxCo3-xO4 (x = 0.95, annealed at 200 °C) shows a considerably high Faradaic efficiency (∼93%) with a remarkably low overpotential (∼230 mV) at a benchmark current density (J) of 10 mA cm-2; at the same J in an alkaline solution (1 M KOH) for OER, it also exhibits high durability (up to 100 h). …”

Effect of the length of silicon nano-dot/wire on band gap by Hassan, Walid M.I.

“…We will report on the role of the length of silicon nanowire (SNW) in determining the band gap of a structure. We find that the band gap decreases with SNW length for the same diameter and approaches the band gap for an ideal infinitely long SNW. …”

Emerging clay-aryl-gold nanohybrids for efficient electrocatalytic proton reduction by Jlassi, Khouloud

“…Both nanohybrids showed efficient electrochemical activity for HER in acidic condition (0.1 M H2SO4) with high current density up to −25 mA.cm−2 at −1 V and 0.148 mV onset. Negligible decreasing in current density and slight shift in onset was observed after 1000 cycles. …”

Long-Distance Vowel-to-Vowel Coarticulation in Arabic: Influences of Intervening Consonant Pharyngealization and Length by Ahmed, Sarah

“…Speakers of Egyptian Arabic were recorded saying sentences containing nonsense sequences of the form /baɁabaCV:/, where C was chosen from {/t/, /tˤ/, /t:/, /tˤ:/} and V was a long vowel /i:/, /a:/ or /u:/. Analysis of the first and second formants of the recorded vowels revealed that (a) vowel-to-vowel coarticulatory effects could sometimes extend to a distance of three vowels before the context vowel; (b) the consonant-to-vowel effects associated with pharyngealization were consistently seen at similar distances, while also decreasing in magnitude at greater distances from the triggering consonant; and (c) effects related to intervening consonant length were idiosyncratic, and in particular did not lead to consistent blocking of vowel-to-vowel effects. …”
