Solar-driven hydrogen production from a water-splitting cycle based on carbon-TiO2 nano-tubes by Almomani F.

“…The C-Ti-NTs were prepared using an alkaline hydrothermal method, characterized using different state of art techniques and tested for the S-DPOH via water splitting. Adding a carbon layer on the surface of TiO2 nano-tube with a thickness of ~1 nm reduced the bandgap of the C-Ti-NTs 0.88 eV, improved the quantum efficiency under UV light to 100%, enhanced the absorption capacity under VIS-light and extremely suppressed the charge recombination. …”

The global burden of cancer attributable to risk factors, 2010–19: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 by Khanh Bao, Tran

“…FindingsGlobally, in 2019, the risk factors included in this analysis accounted for 4·45 million (95% uncertainty interval 4·01–4·94) deaths and 105 million (95·0–116) DALYs for both sexes combined, representing 44·4% (41·3–48·4) of all cancer deaths and 42·0% (39·1–45·6) of all DALYs. There were 2·88 million (2·60–3·18) risk-attributable cancer deaths in males (50·6% [47·8–54·1] of all male cancer deaths) and 1·58 million (1·36–1·84) risk-attributable cancer deaths in females (36·3% [32·5–41·3] of all female cancer deaths). …”
