Summary: Although the brain renin-angiotensin system has been proposed for five decades, its function is still not fully understood due to the lack of renin in brain tissue and the mechanism of brain Ang II generation. Overexpression of angiotensinogen in the brain leads to elevated Ang II levels, but without affecting blood pressure and kidney function, suggesting the involvement of a non-renin enzyme in Ang II generation.

Summary: The reduction of working time can bring environmental, social, and economic benefits, but its implementation at the organizational level is not straightforward. This study explores the factors influencing data quality through expert interviews, highlighting cases of high and low data quality. This is important for implementing reduction programs and prioritizing policy initiatives.

Summary: Mungbean, an economically important legume crop in Asia, has been slow in genome research due to limited resources, particularly DNA markers. However, significant progress has been made in the past decade, notably in the development of DNA markers and identification of candidate genes.

Summary: Effective prevention and control of agricultural non-point source pollution is a major challenge for the Chinese government in rural revitalization. This study discusses the decision-making relationships between the government, livestock and poultry breeding enterprises, environmental non-government organizations (ENGOs), and the public, using an evolutionary game model. The results suggest that government subsidies incentivize adoption of purifying strategies by breeding enterprises but reduce government supervision. Increasing ENGOs' participation and rights space can facilitate multiple co-governance models, while public participation depends on government investigation rates and reporting fairness. Strengthening government supervision and improving reporting fairness can enhance collaborative governance effects.

Summary: This paper calculates the production and transfer of food and energy in Northeast China using water footprint and water pressure index, showing that water resources stress continues to rise in the region. Except for Liaoning Province, the water resources pressure indices of Heilongjiang Province and Jilin Province are significantly higher than the national average.

Summary: Lithium mining in Argentina is associated with social injustices, unequal access to information, and conflicts related to water consumption. Different stakeholders have different perceptions regarding the pros and cons of lithium mining. Concerns about water resources and the socio-environmental impacts of lithium mining are most prominent in scientific and newspaper articles, while corporate and government reports focus more on social and economic aspects.

Summary: Genetic factors contribute to 40%-50% of variability in body weight status, with higher heritability in individuals with obesity. Different classes of BMI have varying heritability, with at least 15 gene defects linked to monogenic obesity. Common DNA variants account for most of the BMI heritability, while obesity-promoting alleles have larger effects in those prone to obesity.

Summary: In response to the global challenge of climate change, many countries have set net-zero targets and green hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources will support these targets. The study identifies four major thematic distributions of green-hydrogen research and highlights the impact of policy decisions in the United States, Europe, India, and China on green-hydrogen production and storage.

Summary: This study establishes an optimal allocation model for water resources in the Western mining area of China and simulates the water resources changes under different scenarios. The results suggest that high-speed economic growth, powerful water saving, and moderate greening are the optimal development scenario for the mining area.

Summary: This study examines the current status of water security and the sustainable improvement of water resources in Shandong Province. The results show an overall improvement in water security, but low ecological water usage is identified as the primary barrier. Additionally, water supply pipeline density is positively correlated with landscape area ratio, while centralized sewage treatment rate is negatively correlated with economic development indicators.

Summary: In 2007 and 2008, Yu and Smith published influential studies on cross-situational word learning, demonstrating the acquisition of word-object mappings through distributed statistics despite uncertainty. The CSWL paradigm has since been extensively utilized to study word learning in various language learners and learning conditions. This review aims to provide an overview of findings and themes emerged in 15 years of CSWL research, focusing on mechanisms, learner characteristics, and unanswered questions.

Summary: With the increase in offshore operations, dropped objects incidents have become more common, leading to various issues such as collisions, damage, safety concerns, and environmental problems. This paper provides a comprehensive review and analysis of deterministic and stochastic dropping processes in offshore engineering, including trajectory measurement, prediction, optimization, trajectory envelope, and risk assessment. The research methods discussed include Monte Carlo simulation and Kalman filtering, and the paper concludes with a description of the review results, current issues, and future directions.

Summary: Intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves, also known as precipitation frequency estimates, are important for designing urban drainage systems, flood control infrastructure, and other structures. However, current approaches for estimating IDF curves need to be revised to account for non-stationarity caused by global climate change. This review summarizes the current knowledge and ongoing research on IDF curves under non-stationarity, including changes in extreme precipitation, approaches for curve estimation, regionalization, challenges of design values and uncertainty, and future research needs.

Summary: Accurate estimation of snow water equivalent (SWE) based on remote sensing in mountain areas has been challenging. However, there is potential for satellite-based SWE observations along ground tracks that cover a portion of the watershed. In this study, statistical and machine learning approaches were evaluated to estimate SWE in the upper Tuolumne River watershed using synthetic data. The results showed that SWE estimation improved with increased ground tracks, and the dominant variable controlling TTA SWE estimation was precipitation.
