Methods Collegiate athletes (n = 187; age = 19.7 ± 1.4 years; male = 70.6%) underwent baseline assessments across 30 universities and experienced a concussion in this retrospective cohort study. Altitude (m) and heat index (°C) at the time and location of injury were determined using ...
"Since the most damage by far comes from the most intense hurricanes — such as typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines in 2013 — this means that hurricanes could become overall more destructive," said Sobel, a Columbia University professor in the departments of Earth and Environmental Sciences, and ...
outline the need to conduct research and implement effective policies that address a range of tobacco products1,2. While less ubiquitous than cigarettes, chewing tobacco use persists as a global public health challenge despite being incorporated in the FCTC statutes of 138 countries...
climate Yulian Tang1,2, Jingliang Huangfu 1,2*, Ronghui Huang1 & Wen Chen1,2 Since the late 1970s, sea surface temperatures (SSTs) have exhibited greater responses to global warming in the offshore area of China and adjacent seas (offshore China) than in the global ocean...

By analyzing the monetary and information shocks from the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the European Central Bank (ECB), we find that the information shocks from the ECB and Fed, in addition to the monetary policy shocks from both central banks, contribute to the comovement of interest rates in ...
Flood events increase the risk of sediment erosion and hence the release of particle-bound pollutants besides other processes that can be observed during such events like transportation, lateral distribution and other. Macropollutants, such as acids, sal
effects of the sea ice decline on weather and climate. It is evident that the reduction in sea ice cover has increased the heat flux from the ocean to atmosphere in autumn and early winter. This has locally increased air temperature, moisture, and cloud cover and reduced the static stability...
Mediterranean forests provide invaluable natural capital, yet they are facing threats due to climate change, population growth, and other causes of forest deterioration. To ensure sustainable forest management and to balance economic, social, and environmental factors, countries in the Mediterranean region...
