Global fertility in 204 countries and territories, 1950–2021, with forecasts to 2100: a comprehensive demographic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Natalia V, Bhattacharjee

“…The proportion of livebirths occurring in sub-Saharan Africa was forecast to increase to more than half of the world's livebirths in 2100, to 41·3% (39·6–43·1) in 2050 and 54·3% (47·1–59·5) in 2100. The share of livebirths was projected to decline between 2021 and 2100 in most of the six other super-regions—decreasing, for example, in south Asia from 24·8% (23·7–25·8) in 2021 to 16·7% (14·3–19·1) in 2050 and 7·1% (4·4–10·1) in 2100—but was forecast to increase modestly in the north Africa and Middle East and high-income super-regions. …”

Discovery of Novel Substituted <i>N</i>‑(4-Amino-2-chlorophenyl)-5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzamide Analogues as Potent Human Adenovirus Inhibitors by Jimin Xu (2208961)

“…The preliminary mechanistic studies indicated that compounds <b>6</b> and <b>43</b> possibly target the HAdV DNA replication process, while compounds <b>46</b> and <b>47</b> suppress later steps of HAdV life cycle. Notably, among these derivatives, compound <b>15</b> showed improved anti-HAdV activity (IC₅₀ = 0.27 μM), significantly decreased cytotoxicity (CC₅₀ = 156.8 μM), and low <i>in vivo</i> toxicity (maximum tolerated dose = 150 mg/kg in hamster) as compared with niclosamide, supporting its further <i>in vivo</i> efficacy studies for the treatment of HAdV infections.…”

Understanding and Improving the Kinetics of Bulk Carbonation on Sodium Carbonate by Tianyi Cai (1511026)

“…We find that the kinetics of Na₂CO₃ bulk carbonation is controlled by the <i>I</i>_H⁺/<i>V</i>_Na^– defect pair generation in Na₂CO₃; we predict that the kinetics can be enhanced by doping lithium into Na₂CO₃, which decreases the defect formation energy by 0.13 eV. This prediction was confirmed by our fixed-bed experiments, which found a 125% increase in the initial CO₂ absorption rate and a 29% increase in CO₂ uptake after 36 min exposure in 0.7 wt % (1.0 at. %) Li-doped Na₂CO₃ compared with undoped Na₂CO₃.…”
