Summary: The study by Wang et al. highlights the incorrect processing of satellite data and problematic methods for comparing CO2 fertilization effect (CFE) between satellite data and model simulations. Their findings suggest that ecosystem models may not necessarily underestimate the rate of CFE decline as previously thought.

Summary: Using photosynthesis proxies from long-term satellite records, Wang et al. reported a significant decline in CO2 fertilization effects. However, small systematic biases in Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data affected the analysis, casting doubt on the robustness of the key finding. Caution is advised when using AVHRR to detect changes in NIRv trends and vegetation indices.

Summary: The study reported a significant decline in the CO2 fertilization effect on global photosynthesis, attributing it to changing regression coefficients of CO2 for satellite proxies/products of photosynthesis. However, the methods used in the study were found to be inadequate for robustly estimating CFE, leading to incorrect conclusions and overlooking the effects of CO2 on the photosynthetic enzyme RuBisCO.

Summary: The quarter-wavelength matching technique is commonly used to minimize reflection and maximize transmission, but introducing antireflection temporal coatings can reduce both reflection and transmission, contrary to its spatial counterpart. This difference is attributed to the distinct physical phenomena in the temporal and spatial domains.

Summary: In this study, it is shown that AML1-ETO-driven acute myeloid leukemia relies on PLCG1, which is induced directly by AML1-ETO. This finding provides evidence that PLCG1 can be a potential therapeutic target in this subset of AML.

Summary: Code comments are important documents for developers to review and understand source code. While deep learning models have achieved good results in generating method header comments, the generation of inline comments has not received enough attention. This paper compares and analyzes the similarities and differences between method comments and inline comments, finding that existing models perform worse on inline comment generation. The study also reveals some new observations, such as the presence of templates in method comment dataset and the insignificance of certain terms in comment generation.

Summary: The paper examines the equivalent refractive-index structure constant between non-Kolmogorov turbulence and Kolmogorov turbulence by introducing the concept of an outer scale as a measurable meteorological parameter. However, the authors' use of a default Kolmogorov structure function with an infinite outer scale and subsequent assumption of a finite outer scale is inconsistent. The correct procedure to establish the relationship between the two structure constants is presented.
