    Abstract Built environment factors such as air pollution are associated with the risk of respiratory disease, but few studies have carried out profound investigation. We aimed to evaluate the association between the built environment and Chinese women’s lung cancer incidence data from the China Cancer Registry Annual Report 2017 , which covered 345,711,600 people and 449 qualified cancer registries in mainland China. The air quality indicator (PM2.5) and other built environment data are obtained from the China Statistical Yearbook and other official approved materials. An exploratory regression tool is applied by using Chinese women’s lung cancer incidence data (Segi population) as the dependent variable, PM2.5 index and other built environment factors as the independent variables. An apparent clustering region with a high incidence of women’s lung cancer was discovered, including regions surrounding Bohai bay and the three Chinese northeastern provinces, Heilongjiang, Liaoning and Inner Mongolia. Besides air quality, built environment factors were found to have a weak but clear impact on lung cancer incidence. Land-use intensity and the greening coverage ratio were positive, and the urbanization rate and population density were negatively correlated with lung cancer incidence. The role of green spaces in Chinese women’s lung cancer incidence has not been proven.

    Abstract As one of China’s key poverty-reduction initiatives, poverty alleviation relocation (PAR) unavoidably results in the reshaping of neighboring social networks. This study equally focused on the changes in the scope of social interaction and in the intergroup social support of the two primary stakeholders of PAR in a rural–rural relocation context: the migrant and local groups. In 2019 and 2021, two surveys were conducted in four different types of resettlements: centralized, adjacent, enclave, and infill. To provide decision makers with broad references for sustainable PAR planning, the social changes were compared by groups, types, and years. In general, the migrant group had more significant scope expansion or narrowing in social interaction than the local group, and they were more willing to seek intergroup social support. Specifically, the centralized type was the superior choice since it was well-expanded and group-balanced; the adjacent type was also a good choice in the long term because of its rapid improvement in the later phase; the enclave type should be a last resort because of its persistently negative impact; and the infill type was a good option in the short term, as it rarely improved in the later stage. Furthermore, the personal socioeconomic attributes associated with the above social changes, claims laid to the spaces, and economic benefits and limitations were explored for a more comprehensive understanding.

    Abstract To date, studies of outdoor thermal comfort (OTC) have focused primarily on physical factors, tending to overlook the relevance of individual adaptation to microclimate parameters through psychological and physiological behaviors. These adaptations can significantly affect the use of urban and outdoor spaces. The study presented here investigated these issues, with a view to aiding sustainable urban development. Measurements of OTC were taken at a university campus and in urban spaces. Simultaneously, a large-scale survey of thermal adaptability was conducted. Two groups were selected for investigation in a cold-winter-and-hot-summer (CWHS) region; respondents came from humid subtropical (Cfa) and hot desert (BWh) climates, according to the Köppen Climate Classification (KCC). Results showed that: (1) neutral physiological equivalent temperature (NPET) and preferred PET for people from the Cfa (PCfa) and BWh (PBWh) groups could be obtained with KCC; (2) PCfa adaptability behaviors were, subjectively, more adjustable than PBWh; (3) Clothing affected neutral temperature (NT), where NT reduced by approximately 0.5 °C when clothing insulation rose 0.1 Clo; and (4) Gender barely affected thermal acceptance vote (TAV) or thermal comfort vote (TCV) and there was a substantial relationship between thermal sensation, NT, and PET. These findings suggest ‘feels like’ temperature and comfort may be adjusted via relationships between microclimate parameters.

    Abstract The plasmonic photothermal effects of metal nanostructures have recently become a new priority of studies in the field of nano-optics. Controllable plasmonic nanostructures with a wide range of responses are crucial for effective photothermal effects and their applications. In this work, self-assembled aluminum nano-islands (Al NIs) with a thin alumina layer are designed as a plasmonic photothermal structure to achieve nanocrystal transformation via multi-wavelength excitation. The plasmonic photothermal effects can be controlled by the thickness of the Al 2 O 3 and the intensity and wavelength of the laser illumination. In addition, Al NIs with an alumina layer have good photothermal conversion efficiency even in low temperature environments, and the efficiency will not decline significantly after storage in air for 3 months. Such an inexpensive Al/Al 2 O 3 structure with a multi-wavelength response provides an efficient platform for rapid nanocrystal transformation and a potential application for the wide-band absorption of solar energy.

    Abstract High density phase change memory array requires both minimized critical dimension (CD) and maximized process window for the phase change material layer. High in-wafer uniformity of the nanoscale patterning of chalcogenides material is challenging given the optical proximity effect (OPE) in the lithography process and the micro-loading effect in the etching process. In this study, we demonstrate an approach to fabricate high density phase change material arrays with half-pitch down to around 70 nm by the co-optimization of lithography and plasma etching process. The focused-energy matrix was performed to improve the pattern process window of phase change material on a 12-inch wafer. A variety of patternings from an isolated line to a dense pitch line were investigated using immersion lithography system. The collapse of the edge line is observed due to the OPE induced shrinkage in linewidth, which is deteriorative as the patterning density increases. The sub-resolution assist feature (SRAF) was placed to increase the width of the lines at both edges of each patterning by taking advantage of the optical interference between the main features and the assistant features. The survival of the line at the edges is confirmed with around a 70 nm half-pitch feature in various arrays. A uniform etching profile across the pitch line pattern of phase change material was demonstrated in which the micro-loading effect and the plasma etching damage were significantly suppressed by co-optimizing the etching parameters. The results pave the way to achieve high density device arrays with improved uniformity and reliability for mass storage applications.

    Abstract Aims The overall prevalence of diabetes has increased over the past two decades in the United States, disproportionately affecting low-income populations. We aimed to examine the trends in income-related inequalities in diabetes prevalence and to identify the contributions of determining factors. Methods We estimated income-related inequalities in diagnosed diabetes during 2001-2018 among US adults aged 18 years or older using data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). The concentration index was used to measure income-related inequalities in diabetes and was decomposed into contributing factors. We then examined temporal changes in diabetes inequality and contributors to those changes over time. Results Results showed that income-related inequalities in diabetes, unfavorable to low-income groups, persisted throughout the study period. The income-related inequalities in diabetes decreased during 2001-2011 and then increased during 2011-2018. Decomposition analysis revealed that income, obesity, physical activity levels, and race/ethnicity were important contributors to inequalities in diabetes at almost all time points. Moreover, changes regarding age and income were identified as the main factors explaining changes in diabetes inequalities over time. Conclusions Diabetes was more prevalent in low-income populations. Our study contributes to understanding income-related diabetes inequalities and could help facilitate program development to prevent type 2 diabetes and address modifiable factors to reduce diabetes inequalities.

    Abstract Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic abruptly impacted healthcare service delivery and utilization. However, the impact on older adults with diabetes in the U.S. is unclear. This study aimed to estimate changes in healthcare utilization among older adults with diabetes during the initial 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic compared with the changes in the 2 years before and to examine the variation in utilization changes by demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. Methods: In this study, we analyzed changes in utilization, measured by the average use of healthcare services per 1,000 persons with diabetes, using medical claims for Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries aged ≥67 years. Utilization changes by setting (acute inpatient, emergency room, hospital outpatient, physician office, and ambulatory surgery center) and by media (telehealth and in person) were examined for 22 months of the pandemic (March 2020–December 2021) compared with those during prepandemic period (March 2018–December 2019). We also estimated utilization changes by beneficiaries’ age group, sex, race/ethnicity, and residential urbanicity. Results: The study sample consisted of approximately 6 million beneficiaries with diabetes each month. In the first 2 years of the pandemic, the average use of healthcare services by setting was 5%–17% lower than the prepandemic level for all types of services. Phase 1 (March 2020−May 2020) had the largest decrease in utilization: physician office visits changed by −51.2% (95% CI= −55.0%, −47.5%), ambulatory surgery center procedures changed by −45.1% (95% CI= −49.8%, −40.4%), emergency room visits changed by −36.9% (95% CI= −39.0%, −34.7%), acute inpatient stays changed by −31.5% (95% CI= −33.6%, −29.3%), and hospital outpatient visits changed by −27% (95% CI= −29.3%, −24.8%). The reduction in utilization varied by sociodemographic subgroup. During the pandemic, the use of telehealth visits increased by 511.1% (95% CI=502.2%, 520.0%) compared with that in the prepandemic period. The increase was ...

    Abstract This paper studies the correlation between built environment factors and the prevalence of hypertension in Wuhan, a typical city in central China. Data were obtained from a regional epidemiological database, which is the 2015 Epidemiological Survey of people under 65 years in 144 communities. The prevalence of hypertension was analyzed in five components based on the WHO framework (land use, transport, accessibility, green space, and socioeconomic status). Results indicated built environment factors have significant correlations with the prevalence of hypertension ( p < 0.01). The road network density, gymnasium cost, income, medical facilities cost, walkability index, and land use mix (LUM) were statistically significant. Other indicators did not pass the significance test. The spatial models fit better than the multivariate linear model.

    Abstract Noble metal nanostructures can produce the surface plasmon resonance under appropriate photoexcitation, which can be used to promote or facilitate chemical reactions, as well as photocatalytic materials, due to their strong plasmon resonance in the visible light region. In the current work, Ag/Au nanoislands (NIs) and Ag NIs/Au film composite systems were designed, and their thermocatalysis performance was investigated using luminescence of Eu 3+ as a probe. Compared with Ag NIs, the catalytic efficiency and stability of surface plasmons of Ag/Au NIs and Ag NIs/Au film composite systems were greatly improved. It was found that the metal NIs can also generate strong localized heat at low temperature environment, enabling the transition of NaYF 4 :Eu 3+ to Y 2 O 3 : Eu 3+ , and anti-oxidation was realized by depositing gold on the surface of silver, resulting in the relative stability of the constructed complex.
