Orbital‐ to millennial‐scale variation of the speleothem δ 18 O record during Marine Isotope Stages 5 to 3 on the southeast Chinese Loess Plateau and its climatic and environmental implications - YANJUN CAI; HAI CHENG; XING CHENG; ZHENGGUO SHI; YANBIN LU; LE MA; CARLOS PÉREZ‐MEJÍAS; HAIWEI ZHANG; YINGYING WEI; GANG XUE; HANYING LI; MEI HE; et al. (Journal of Quaternary Science, 2023)
The Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) is located in northern China, a region climatically dominated by the East Asian monsoon. Speleothem records from this region are crucial to fully understand the variability of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) and reconcile the disparity seen between loess records and speleothem δ 18 O records for the EASM. Here, we present an absolutely dated stalagmite isotope record spanning most of Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5 to MIS 3 from Xiaotian Cave, southeast CLP. The Xiaotian speleothem δ 18 O record is dominated by precessional variations and punctuated by notable millennial‐scale oscillations; in particular, the δ 18 O values in MIS 5e, 5c and 5a were in the same range, consistent with other speleothem δ 18 O records from the EASM region within quoted errors, verifying the difference between speleothem δ 18 O and loess records (e.g. magnetic susceptibility) and the proposition that those two archives may record different aspects of the EASM changes. The similar values in MIS 5e, 5c and 5a observed from the speleothem δ 18 O records in EASM regions, incompatible with the relatively higher North Hemisphere Summer Insolation (NHSI) during MIS 5e, were probably caused by an equivalent or even increased contribution of 18 O‐enriched moisture from the South China Sea and North Pacific, implying that an El Niño‐like state existed during MIS 5e. The Xiaotian δ 18 O values increased abruptly at ~121.7 thousand years (kyr) before the present ( bp , present refers to ad 1950), consistent with the trend seen in previously reported Chinese speleothem δ 18 O records, indicating an abrupt regime shift in atmospheric circulations or hydroclimate conditions in the Asian monsoon systems. It cannot be definitely ruled out that an increase in sea ice extent in the northern North Atlantic, responding to a decrease of NHSI, reached a threshold to have led to abrupt changes in the Asian summer monsoon (ASM) through rapid shifts in the position of circulation of the westerlies and/or in the position of Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Here, we hypothesized that sea surface cooling in the tropical Indian and Pacific Ocean caused by the decreased summer insolation reached a threshold that eventually resulted in an abrupt shift to more positive precipitation δ 18 O, either through weakened convection over the tropical ocean, or through abrupt shifts in moisture transport and cycling of tropical moisture sources for the ASM. The Xiaotian speleothem δ 18 O record also shows centennial‐scale variability with amplitude up to 3‰ within MIS 5e. These changes are similar to variations recorded by the speleothem δ 18 O record from Tianmen Cave on the south‐central Tibetan Plateau and Shangxiaofeng Cave in Shandong Province, northern China, suggesting a heightened sensitivity of precipitation δ 18 O to climate changes at the marginal zone of the ASM even during the warm and humid MIS 5e interglacial. Climatic oscillations during MIS 5e appear to be comparable to those typical of the Holocene, implying rather unstable climate conditions during the Last Interglacial.

Centenarian clocks: epigenetic clocks for validating claims of exceptional longevity - Eric Dec; James Clement; Kaiyang Cheng; George M. Church; Michael B. Fossel; David H. Rehkopf; Luis Rosero-Bixby; Michael S. Kobor; David TS. Lin; Ake T. Lu; Zhe Fei; Wei Guo; et al. (GeroScience, 2023)
Claims surrounding exceptional longevity are sometimes disputed or dismissed for lack of credible evidence. Here, we present three DNA methylation-based age estimators (epigenetic clocks) for verifying age claims of centenarians. The three centenarian clocks were developed based on n = 7039 blood and saliva samples from individuals older than 40, including n = 184 samples from centenarians, 122 samples from semi-supercentenarians (aged 105 +), and 25 samples from supercentenarians (aged 110 +). The oldest individual was 115 years old. Our most accurate centenarian clock resulted from applying a neural network model to a training set composed of individuals older than 40. An epigenome-wide association study of age in different age groups revealed that age effects in young individuals (age < 40) are correlated ( r = 0.55) with age effects in old individuals (age > 90). We present a chromatin state analysis of age effects in centenarians. The centenarian clocks are expected to be useful for validating claims surrounding exceptional old age.

Development and application of a 6000-meter double decelerating lander - Lei Guo; Xiuqing Yang; Gang Xue; Cheng Wang; Zihang Fei; Shaotong Zhang; Yanjun Liu; Kai Lu; Yuan Yang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
The deep-sea lander is an important equipment for in-situ detection and monitoring. It is of great significance to understand the benthic boundary layer’s physical, chemical, and ecological environment. A 6000-meter double decelerating lander was created to meet the deployment requirements of underwater detection and monitoring, allowing for long-term in-situ monitoring of several benthic boundary layer components. Protection of the installed ocean bottom seismometer (OBS) is required due to the lander’s and OBS’s different impact resistances. The double decelerating unit enables the OBS to avoid colliding with the seabed when the lander lands and then collides with the seabed at a slow speed rather than the speed at which the lander falls, which is intended to safeguard OBS from damage. To ensure a safe deployment, the lander’s static analysis and simulation were performed using ANSYS, and the motion characteristics of the application process were derived. Numerous data have been obtained after the lander’s successful application in the South China Sea. The lander provides an investigation approach for marine science and geochemistry, complementing a technical approach to marine environmental investigations.

Dynamic Traction of Deep-Sea Polymetallic Nodule Collector - Yuheng Song; Shiyang Yin; Ning Zhang; Fengnian Lu; Zexuan Cheng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
The ocean is extremely rich in mineral resources. To cope with the shortage of land mineral resources, countries are focusing on the development of deep-sea mineral mining technology. Owing to its superior traction performance, the deep-sea polymetallic nodule collector (DPNC) has become the preferred solution for ocean mining. This paper proposes a dynamic traction calculation model to address the shortcomings in the classical static traction calculation model with consideration of the dynamic variation rule of grouser–soil interaction in the DPNC process. Lab tests were conducted to formulate materials similar to deep-sea soil, and the corresponding shear stress–displacement models were established using the discrete element method (DEM) and Magic Formula to describe the “shear stress–displacement” relationship more accurately. Considering Kunlong 500, which is a Chinese DPNC, as an example, the periodicity and dynamics of the dynamic traction force were analyzed and compared with the numerical simulation results. The dynamic traction force was smaller than the static traction force and fluctuated significantly when considering the dynamic grousers–soil interaction. The magnitude and fluctuation of the dynamic traction force were influenced by the ratio of the grouser height to the spacing. In the DPNC design, the ratio of the grouser height to the spacing should be optimized according to the properties of the deep-sea subsoil to improve the traction performance and stability of the DPNC.

Coexistence is stabilized by conspecific negative density dependence via fungal pathogens more than oomycete pathogens - Xiang Liu; Ingrid M. Parker; Gregory S. Gilbert; Yawen Lu; Yao Xiao; Li Zhang; Mengjiao Huang; Yikang Cheng; Zhenhua Zhang; Shurong Zhou (Ecology, 2022)
Plant pathogens are often hypothesized to promote species coexistence by generating conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD). However, the relative importance of fungal versus oomycete pathogens in maintaining plant species coexistence and community composition remains unresolved, despite their recognized effects on plant performance. Here, we use fungicide application to investigate how fungal versus oomycete pathogens affect plant species coexistence in an alpine meadow. We found that the severity of foliar fungal disease was density‐dependent at both intra‐ and interspecific levels. Fungal pathogen‐exclusion treatment successfully decreased the severity of foliar fungal diseases, with no detectable effects on root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi or on soil chemical properties. Fungal pathogens were important factors shaping CNDD across 25 coexisting plant species. Exclusion of fungal pathogens significantly reduced plant species richness and Shannon's evenness. Treatments that excluded fungal pathogens also led to significant shifts in plant community composition toward more Poaceae and Cyperaceae. These results indicate that fungal pathogens, especially those affecting aboveground plant parts, may play a larger role in maintaining species coexistence and shaping community composition than has been previously recognized.

Future Projection for Wave Climate around Taiwan Using Weather-Type Statistical Downscaling Method - Wei-Shiun Lu; Chi-Hsiang Tseng; Shih-Chun Hsiao; Wen-Son Chiang; Kai-Cheng Hu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Taiwan is surrounded by sea; therefore, coastal hazards might become severe due to climate change. The analysis of wave climate characteristics at different time scales (long-term historical period, seasonal prediction, and future prediction) can be used as a reference for the impact of climate change on coastal environments. This model associates the significant wave height with the atmospheric predictor defined by the sea level pressure (SLP) field. We applied SLP based on the outputs of a global climate model (GCM) under two possible future scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) in the Fifth Assessment Report, AR5 (IPCC, 2014), then used the historical data of the predictor (sea level pressure) and predictand (sea-state parameters) from reanalysis databases to calibrate the model. The recent historical atmospheric conditions responsible for the swell wave component at the target site are included in the predictor definition. The 18 days sea level pressure fields are used as a predictor by utilizing the evaluation of source and travel-time of wave energy reaching a local area (ESTELA) method. The verification proves the model’s skill to reproduce the seasonal and interannual variability of monthly sea state parameters and can be used to further evaluate the wave climate change around Taiwan under different climate change scenarios. The prediction of wave climate on weather types provides a physical explanation for the relationship between the multivariate wave climate characterization and atmospheric forces. Through the analysis of the similarity and consistency between GCM data and reanalysis data, we can evaluate the suitability of GCM for wave climates in the Taiwan sea area. It shows how the weather type statistical method can be used to quantify the wave climate prediction results of each GCMs and to evaluate their differences and uncertainties, which will improve the estimation of the impact of wave climate change on Taiwan’s coast.

Has substantial sea ice loss along the Siberian coast contributed to the 2020/2021 winter cold wave in China? - Shaoyin Wang; Jiping Liu; Xiao Cheng; Tobias Kerzenmacher; Hua Li; Riyu Lu; Yongyun Hu; Zhuoqi Chen; Peter Braesicke (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
In winter 2020/2021, several episodes of cold air outbreaks have wreaked havoc across much of China, resulting in exceptionally low temperatures over northern‐to‐southeastern China. Our analysis shows that the anomalous circulation leading to the cold wave in China was characterized as: (a) a strengthening of the Siberian high, (b) a deepening of the East Asian trough, and (c) a weakening of the stratospheric polar vortex. Prior to the winter, in summer and autumn, the largest sea ice loss along the Siberian coast was observed. We therefore address the question whether the substantial sea ice loss has contributed to the cold wave. First, applying singular value decomposition (SVD) analysis, we find strong coherence between the autumn Arctic sea ice coverage and temperatures over the central‐to‐east Asian region with the sea ice component (SVD1_SIC) reaching a record high in 2020 and displaying a decadal shift around 2005. Associated with both the interannual and decadal variations of the SVD1_SIC, there are similar circulation anomalies as described in (a), (b) and (c) above. Second, applying self‐organizing maps, wintertime daily air temperatures are clustered into nine nodes with Node‐1 mostly resembling “warm Arctic, cold Eurasia” pattern. The frequency of Node‐1 shows a similar decadal shift as observed in SVD_SIC1 above, with a correlation of about 0.56. Associated with Node‐1, the circulation anomalies are consistent with features highlighted in (a), (b) and (c) above. Thus, taking all the evidence into account, we conclude that the substantial sea ice loss along the Siberian coast contributed significantly to the 2020/2021 winter cold wave in China. The mechanism behind the contribution in this study highlights that the Arctic sea ice loss is favourable for certain circulation patterns on climate timescale, reinforcing disruptive chain of reactions on weather timescale, and leading to severe cold events.

Application of Singularity Theory to the Distribution of Heavy Metals in Surface Sediments of the Zhongsha Islands - Yan Zhang; Shiqiao Liu; Li Zhang; Yongzhang Zhou; Jinqiang Liang; Jing’an Lu; Xiaoqiang Hu; Liang Liu; Liang Chen; Jingwei Zhang; Cheng Xu; Xinzhu Dong (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
This research aimed to use nonlinear theory and technology to describe the spatial distribution of heavy metals in the surface sediments of the Zhongsha Islands Sea region. The goal of this study is to explore the spatial distribution characteristics of heavy metals in the surface sediments of the Zhongsha Islands. The singularity theory and method were used to delineate heavy metal geochemical anomalies and the generalized self-similarity analysis method was used to decompose heavy metal geochemical anomalies and background concentrations. The results showed that there were abnormally high concentrations of heavy metals in the deep-sea plain area and in the western central sand trough area. The results of this study can inform priority areas for environmental monitoring. The element anomalies extracted by the singularity analysis method in this paper can be a guide to the next step in the investigation and provide the basis for the regional environmental assessment.

Shear Modulus of a Carbonate Sand–Silt Mixture with THF Hydrate - Yuzhe Ren; C. F. Chiu; Lu Ma; Y. P. Cheng; Litong Ji; Chao Jiang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The maximum shear modulus (Gmax) is an important factor determining soil deformation, and it is closely related to engineering safety and seafloor stability. In this study, a series of bender element tests was carried out to investigate the Gmax of a hydrate-bearing carbonate sand (CS)–silt mixture. The soil mixture adopted a CS:silt ratio of 1:4 by weight to mimic the fine-grained deposit of the South China Sea (SCS). Tetrahydrofuran (THF) was used to form the hydrate. Special specimen preparation procedures were adopted to form THF hydrate inside the intraparticle voids of the CS. The test results indicate that hydrate contributed to a significant part of the skeletal stiffness of the hydrate-bearing CS–silt mixture, and its Gmax at 5% hydrate saturation (Sh) was 4–6 times that of the host soil mixture. Such stiffness enhancement at a low Sh may be related to the cementation hydrate morphology. However, the Gmax of the hydrate-bearing CS–silt mixture was also sensitive to the effective stress for an Sh ranging between 5% and 31%, implying that the frame-supporting hydrate morphology also plays a key role in the skeletal stiffness of the soil mixture. Neither the existing cementation models nor the theoretical frame-supporting (i.e., Biot–Gassmann theory by Lee (BGTL)), could alone provide a satisfactory prediction of the test results. Thus, further theoretical study involving a combination of cementation and frame-supporting models is essential to understand the effects of complicated hydrate morphologies on the stiffness of soil with a substantial amount of intraparticle voids.

Food resources for Spoon-billed Sandpipers (Calidris pygmaea) in the mudflats of Leizhou Bay, southern China - Xiuyuan Lu; Hongyan Yang; Theunis Piersma; Lili Sun; Qing Chen; Yifei Jia; Guangchun Lei; Li Cheng; Xinpeng Rao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Leizhou Bay in Guangdong Province is the most important wintering site in China for the critically endangered Spoon-billed Sandpipers ( Calidris pygmaea ). As food is usually a strong predictor of presence, in the winters of 2019-2022 we studied arthropod food resources and diet on the intertidal mudflats at the Tujiao and Hebei mudflats in Leizhou Bay. In December 2020, using a sampling device that encloses mobile epibenthic prey before the human sampler would disturb them in shallow pools, we visited 34 stations in their core foraging area at Tujiao. A total of 15 mobile benthic species were identified, including 13 arthropod and 2 fish species, with a total density of 106 animals/m 2 (range= 0.2-48 animals/m 2 ), with the lengths of the animals ranging from 1-19 mm. Two amphipod and one cumacean species contributed 85%. On the basis of photographs of foraging during low tide in 2019-2022, the visibly ingested prey items appeared to mainly consist of small shrimp, but also included crabs and fish. At 27 mm (compared with the 22 mm long bill of Spoon-billed Sandpipers) the average visibly ingested prey showed a strong size bias. Among the measured environmental covarying factors (sediment pH, salinity, TOC content, median particle size and distance from the seawall etc.) potentiually affecting the mobile epibenthic prey in shallow pools, only distance from the seawall was significantly and negatively correlated. Densities were higher within 1 km of the seawall (126 animals/m 2 ) than further offshore (69 animals/m 2 ). This may relate to the mangrove forests growing in abundance near the seawall providing released minerals, nutrients, bacterial production and diatoms for the benthic community in the adjacent mudflats. However, the potential negative impact of artificial mangrove expansion in Leizhou mudflats need to be carefully monitored and assessed to balance both mangrove and Spoon-billed Sandpipers conservation.

Long-term changes in zooplankton in the Changjiang estuary from the 1960s to 2020 - Ping Du; Wen-Jian Ye; Bang-Ping Deng; Ming Mao; Yuan-Li Zhu; Fang-Ping Cheng; Zhi-Bing Jiang; Lu Shou; Quan-Zhen Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The Changjiang estuary (CJE) is a large estuary that is affected by multiple anthropogenic stressors and climate change. The long-term trend of zooplankton in the CJE is an important indicator of the ecological response to stressors. We applied the Mann–Kendall trend analysis and Pettitt test to detect the trend and breakpoints of the biomass of the large mesozooplankton (LMZ; 505–20 000 μm) in four seasons, abundance of main LMZ taxa in summer from the 1960s to 2020, and abundance of dominant species in summer from 2000 to 2020 in the CJE. Results showed that LMZ biomass increased significantly during spring and summer, and the breakpoints both occurred in the 1980s. After the breakpoint, the mean biomass increased from 142.88 to 429.42 mg/m 3 in spring and from 296.28 to 723.92 mg/m 3 in summer. After 2000, the abundance of Copepoda in summer increased by more than 10 times compared to the 1960s. Under the conditions of warming and increased dinoflagellate abundance in the CJE, the abundance of the warm-water and omnivorous small calanoid copepod Paracalanus aculeatus increased significantly. Meanwhile, the significant decrease in the abundance of the temperate brackish species Labidocera euchaeta was probably mainly related to warming. The rapid changes in LMZ biomass during the late 1980s and mid-1990s is probably the result of a combination of enhanced bottom–up support, reduced top–down pressure, and promotion of temperature. This study provides scientific evidence and insights into the adaptive management of the Changjiang Basin.

Genetic Variations and Expansion of the Blue Swimmer Crab (Portunus pelagicus) in Southeast Asia - Yu-Ming Lu; Chun-Han Shih; Po-Cheng Chen; Wei-Chieh Kao; Ying-Chou Lee; Yu-San Han; Tzong-Der Tzeng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Blue swimmer crabs (Portunus pelagicus) primarily inhabit the coastal regions of Southeast Asia. This study aimed to examine their population genetic structure, phylogeography, and historical demography by applying partial sequences to the control region in the mitochondrial DNA. The analysis focused on 6 populations comprising 166 individual samples collected from Taiwan (Kezailiao Kaohsiung (KK) and Penghu (PH)), mainland China (Xiamen (XM) and Hong Kong (HK)), Vietnam (Hanoi (VN)), and Singapore (SGP). The estimated nucleotide diversity (π) for all of the samples was 0.062, with values ranging between 0.018 (PH) and 0.045 (HK). Our study collected 116 haplotypes and classified them into lineages A and B. The XM, HK, VN, and SGP populations made up lineage A, and the PH and KK populations comprised lineage B. For each lineage, the results highlighted indications of demographic expansion. Lineage A can be traced back to the second-to-last interglacial period, while lineage B possibly originated in the last glacial period. There were significant differences in the FST values among the six populations, except for the pairs HK–XM and PH–KK. In conclusion, the phylogeography and genetic structure of P. pelagicus in Southeast Asia were potentially affected by the Pleistocene glacial cycles and human introduction. These findings further highlight the possible dispersal routes of P. pelagicus throughout Southeast Asia.

Study on the Mechanical Properties of Silty Clay Sediments with Nodular Hydrate Occurrence - Cheng Lu; Pengfei Xie; Hui Li; Xuhui Zhang; Xiaobing Lu; Bin Zhang; Ziqin Zhang; Xuwen Qin; Shuai Zhang; Hang Bian (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Natural gas hydrates are a strategic energy resource in China. The China Geological Survey has discovered segregated hydrate mass formations under the seepage mechanism in the South China Sea through exploration, and gas hydrates occur in nodular, massive, and vein formations in silty clay sediment. Previous work has focused on the analysis of sediment mechanical properties with respect to the uniform distribution of natural gas hydrates in pore spaces, but the mechanical properties of hydrate-bearing sediments containing segregated hydrate masses are not well understood. Spherical hydrates are used to characterize nodular hydrates, a method is proposed for the preparation of sediment samples containing segregated hydrates masses, and a series of triaxial compression tests are carried out on the samples containing spherical hydrates with two kinds of particle sizes at a certain volume fraction. The paper presents triaxial stress–strain curves for the samples containing spherical hydrates. A model for predicting elastic modulus is established. The results present two distinct stages in the triaxial compression tests of silty clay sediments containing spherical hydrates; they also show that the elastic moduli predicted by the model are in good agreement with the experimental results when the model parameters are set at α = 0.5 and β = −0.21. These results provide fundamental mechanical parameters for the safety evaluation of strata containing segregated gas hydrates.

Asynchronous variations of East Asian summer monsoon, vegetation and soil formation at Yulin (North China) in the Holocene - CHENGHONG LIANG; HUAYU LU; YAO GU; CHENG ZHAO; WEIGUO LIU; XIAOJIAN ZHANG; HONGYAN ZHANG (Journal of Quaternary Science, 2022)
In the East Asian monsoon region, Chinese speleothem δ 18 O records exhibit a maximum monsoon strength during the early Holocene. However, other proxy data from lakes or loess, interpreted as monsoon rainfall, show a mid‐Holocene monsoon optimum. This discrepancy may come from specific climate interpretation of different proxies. Here we report multiproxy records from a single loess–palaeosol sequence at Yulin in the monsoon marginal northern China, based on an independent and high‐precision chronology. Our long‐chain n ‐alkane δD values, together with related biomarker proxies including the average chain length and concentration of long‐chain n‐ alkanes, reveal a weakening trend in monsoon strength and less woody vegetation since ~6 ka. However, other soil formation‐related proxies, such as magnetic susceptibility, grain‐size distribution and total organic carbon, show a decreasing trend since 4–3 ka. We find that monsoon and vegetation are controlled by insolation variation, while soil formation is more related to temperature and humidity changes. Our multiple proxy comparison reveals different controlling mechanisms leading to different interpretations in monsoon, vegetation and soil formation reconstructions. This finding suggests that previous debates on Holocene monsoon changes in East Asia probably stem from the specific proxy interpretation.

The effect of meteorological drought on vegetation cover in the Yellow River basin, China - Lu Jia; Kun‐xia Yu; Zhan‐bin Li; Peng Li; Guo‐ce Xu; Yu‐ting Cheng; Xiang Zhang; Zhi Yang (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
As a widespread natural disaster, drought has a significant impact on changes in regional vegetation cover. Based on 1‐month standardized precipitation index (SPI1), this study took the Yellow River basin (YRB) with frequent droughts as the research object, using NDVI data from 1999 to 2018, Mann–Kendall trend test, and correlation test to study the temporal and spatial characteristics of meteorological drought, explored the response of vegetation cover to meteorological drought, and further discussed the possible factors affecting meteorological drought. The results of the study showed that from 1999 to 2018, the SPI1 in the YRB had not increased significantly in a large area in different months ( p > .05). On the monthly time scale, the NDVI of the YRB gradually increased from north to south, showing a significant increasing trend the central area ( p p p

Prediction of disability-free survival in healthy older people - Johannes Tobias Neumann; Le T. P. Thao; Anne M. Murray; Emily Callander; Prudence R. Carr; Mark R. Nelson; Rory Wolfe; Robyn L. Woods; Christopher M. Reid; Raj C. Shah; Anne B. Newman; Jeff D. Williamson; et al. (GeroScience, 2022)
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disability-free survival outcome was defined as absence of dementia, persistent disability or death. Selection of potential predictors from amongst 25 biomedical, psychosocial and lifestyle variables including recognized geriatric risk factors, utilizing a machine-learning approach. Separate models were developed for men and women. The selected predictors were evaluated in a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model and validated internally by bootstrapping. We included 19,114 Australian and US participants aged ≥65 years (median 74 years, IQR 71.6–77.7). Common predictors of a worse prognosis in both sexes included higher age, lower Modified Mini-Mental State Examination score, lower gait speed, lower grip strength and abnormal (low or elevated) body mass index. Additional risk factors for men included current smoking, and abnormal eGFR. In women, diabetes and depression were additional predictors. The biased-corrected areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves for the final prognostic models at 5 years were 0.72 for men and 0.75 for women. Final models showed good calibration between the observed and predicted risks. We developed a prediction model in which age, cognitive function and gait speed were the strongest predictors of disability-free survival in healthy older people.

Radon exposure and risk of cerebrovascular disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis in occupational and general population studies - Liping Lu; Yijia Zhang; Cheng Chen; Robert William Field; Ka Kahe (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
Although it is biologically plausible, findings relating radon exposure to the risk of cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) are inconsistent and inconclusive. To investigate whether radon exposure was associated with the risk of CeVD, we qualitatively and quantitatively summarized the literature on radon and CeVD in both occupational and general populations. A search of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science was performed for peer-reviewed articles published through March 2022. Studies were excluded if radon exposure was not assessed separately from other ionizing radiation. In the meta-analysis, excess relative risks (ERRs) were converted to relative risks (RRs), and the pooled RRs and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were determined using the random-effects model (DerSimonian and Laird). In the systematic review, nine eligible studies were summarized. Six occupational studies indicated inconsistent associations between cumulative radon exposure and CeVD mortality among mine workers. With available data from four updated occupational studies (99,730 mine workers and 2745 deaths), the pooled RR of radon exposure with CeVD mortality showed a non-significant association (1.10, 95% CI 0.92, 1.31). Three studies (841,270 individuals and 24,288 events) conducted in general populations consistently demonstrated a significant inverse relationship between residential radon exposure and risk of CeVD. The existing literature suggested a potential link between radon exposure and CeVD risk in general population. The inconsistent association in occupationally exposed populations may be explained by different methods of radon assessment and other methodological issues. Since radon exposure is a common public health issue, more rigorously designed epidemiologic studies, especially in the general population are warranted.

Impact of Microstructure on Solar Radiation Transfer Within Sea Ice During Summer in the Arctic: A Model Sensitivity Study - Miao Yu; Peng Lu; Bin Cheng; Matti Leppäranta; Zhijun Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The recent rapid changes in Arctic sea ice have occurred not only in ice thickness and extent, but also in the microstructure of ice. To understand the role of microstructure on partitioning of incident solar shortwave radiation within the ice and upper ocean, this study investigated the sensitivity of the optical properties of summer sea ice on ice microstructures such as the volume fraction, size, and vertical distribution of gas bubbles, brine pockets, and particulate matter (PM). The results show that gas bubbles are the predominant scatterers within sea ice. Their effects on the scattering coefficient and ice albedo are 5 and 20 times stronger respectively than the effect of brine pockets. Albedo and transmittance of ice decrease with higher concentration and larger size of PM particles. A 4-cm top layer of ice with high PM concentration (50 g/m 3 ) results in a 10% increase in radiation absorption. The role of ice microstructure in the partitioning of radiation transfer is more important for seasonal than for multiyear ice, and more important for ponded than for snow-covered ice. Varying ice microstructure can obviously alter solar radiation transfer in the ice-ocean system, even with a constant ice thickness. Our results suggest that numerical models should take the variable microstructure of sea ice into account to improve model accuracy and to understand the interaction between internal variations in Arctic sea ice and the ocean, especially in summer.
