Vegetation change profoundly influences ecosystem sustainability and human activities, with solar radiation serving as a primary driver. However, the effects of surface radiative forcing (SRF) and related factors on vegetation dynamics remain poorly understood. The Tibetan Plateau, a climate-sensiti...

This paper presents a continuous-time (CT) ADC capable of operating as either a delta-sigma modulator (DSM) or an incremental DSM (IDSM). To address the high jitter sensitivity inherent to oversampled CT systems, an architecture incorporating FIR DACs and a single-bit (SB) quantizer is adopted. A fu...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) commonly complicates coronary revascularization, worsening outcomes. Estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV), a simple arterial stiffness marker, independently predicts cardiovascular risk. This study aimed to evaluate the association between ePWV and AKI in patients undergoin...
