Ongoing intensification of anomalous Western North Pacific anticyclone during post-El Niño summer with achieved carbon neutrality by Wen Zhang, Weichen Tao, Gang Huang, Kaiming Hu, Xia Qu, Ya Wang, Haosu Tang, Suqin Zhang

“…This enhanced convection is attributed to increased Indo-Pacific zonal SST gradient associated with strengthened MC warming and accelerated decay of El Niño in the Central Pacific, ultimately linked to climatological equatorial Pacific El Niño-like warming pattern-related air-sea processes. The overshoot of the WNPAC during the CO2 RD phase may exacerbate flood and high temperature risks in densely populated East Asia.…”

Effects on muscular activity and usability of soft active versus rigid passive back exoskeleton during symmetric lifting tasks by Ting Lei, Kaixin Liang, Jiye Xu, Heng Li, Joon Oh Seo, Kelvin Holam Heung

“…Results showed that the active exosuit significantly reduced mean and peak EMG levels, while the passive exoskeleton exhibited modest reductions, particularly during unloaded tasks. EMG pattern analysis indicated peak activity occurring within 30–40% of the motion cycle, with IX BACK causing delays in bending without load due to resistance. …”
