Summary: This paper acknowledges the need for innovation and advocates for superior innovations in the wood industry that offer more benefits and fewer drawbacks. It highlights the irrationality of continuing to produce and consume inferior innovations that worsen climate change. The paper suggests using evaluative commitments associated with industrialized and indigenous civilizations to find pathways for addressing climate change and proposes decision-making and design methods for generating new innovations that can change our current trajectory.

Summary: RNAs play important roles in cells, and their functions can be supported by chemical modifications. Recent research has shown that glycan modifications on the surface of RNA can affect cellular responses and phenotypes, leading to a paradigm shift in RNA biology.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the incidence of PPAP and the rate of major complications after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) in patients with only transiently elevated serum amylase. The results showed that 26% of patients had sustained hyperamylasemia after PD, and an additional 17% had a transient elevation of serum amylase postoperatively. Both situations were associated with significant complications.

Summary: This study provides insights into the binding modes of dioxygenases with PAHs and demonstrates their catalytic efficiencies towards PAHs with 2-4 benzene rings. Additionally, it shows that naphthalene dioxygenase can accommodate PAHs with high aromaticity and has good docking scores.

Summary: Preventing attrition of panel members is a fundamental challenge for panel surveys. This study found that later response and inconsistent response times are predictors of higher likelihood of attrition from a panel. Survey practitioners can potentially predict attrition by applying the models developed in this study to their own data.

Summary: A new complementary scenario for the evolutionary process of the Qatar Arch is proposed, considering the effects of another basement fault. Remote sensing techniques combined with geological and geophysical interpretations reveal that the interaction of the Trans Arabian-Bostaneh and Kazerun faults shaped the unique narrowing and uplifting characteristics of the Arch.

Summary: This paper explores the manufacturer's optimal pricing decisions in a closed-loop supply chain by considering various factors such as consumer behavior, limited returns, acceptability of remanufactured products, and discounting rate. The results indicate that the manufacturer's retail plan and optimal prices depend on the unit production cost. In general, consumers' strategic behavior can harm the manufacturer's profit, leading to adjustments in pricing and engagement in remanufacturing based on the production cost.

Summary: This paper investigates the nonlinear buckling responses of three types of shallow imperfect panels made from functionally graded graphene reinforced composite (FG-GRC) on nonlinear elastic foundations. The nonlinear governing equations are formulated using Reddy's higher-order shear deformation shell theory, and a new approximation technique is developed to determine the stress function. The results provide explicit formulations to calculate the critical buckling loads and postbuckling load-deflection curves, which can be applied to many engineering designs.

Summary: Geopolitical risks significantly influence environmental policy in certain EU countries, while the relationship varies among different countries. Policymakers should take measures to address geopolitical risks, promote sustainable energy development, and strengthen environmental regulations.

Summary: Research has shown that in the genesis and progression of colon cancer, there is strong remodeling of collagen fibers in the tumor stroma, creating a microenvironment that supports cancer development. Micro-FTIR spectroscopy, focusing on collagen signals, can provide valuable chemical evidence for distinguishing malignant and normal stroma. This technique shows promise as a tool for colon cancer diagnosis.

Summary: This study characterized the genetic diversity and resistance to stem rust in wild emmer wheat. Novel marker-trait associations for stem rust resistance were identified through genome-wide association studies. The fast LD decay in wild emmer wheat enabled high-resolution mapping of loci for stem rust resistance.

Summary: This study introduces a new sensitivity analysis method called MMADS, which is capable of screening non-influential hydrologic processes and parameters. It addresses both process model uncertainty and model parameter uncertainty, and demonstrates good performance in two numerical experiments.
