IOP Publishing expands its open access environmental portfolio with the launch of Environmental Research: Energy
2023-04-18
(Press-News.org)
Responding to the increasing demand for sustainable energy research, IOP Publishing is launching a new open access (OA) environmental research journal. Environmental Research: Energy (EREN) will openly publish the latest findings around clean and sustainable energy for all. Aligned with a number of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the journal launch comes at a time when research output around renewable energy and sustainability has seen a 600% increase compared to ten years ago.
Environmental Research: Energy is the latest addition to IOP Publishing's expanding Environmental Research series of open access journals. The series builds on the established reputation of Environmental Research Letters (ERL) and shares the same outstanding levels of author service, inclusive editorial policies, and strict quality assurance with open science principles at its core.
Multidisciplinary in nature, Environmental Research: Energy will appeal to research scientists, economists, engineers, and social scientists who are working towards discoveries and sustainable solutions in energy consumption and supply. The journal will open for submissions later in 2023.
In the spirit of transparency and reproducibility, authors publishing in the journal are encouraged to share data and code where appropriate for the benefit of the research community. Authors also have the option to submit their papers for double anonymous and transparent peer review. In addition, IOP Publishing will waive all OA article publication charges for articles submitted to the journal before 2025.
Newly appointed Editor in Chief, Professor Emily Grubert from the University of Notre Dame in the USA says: “Energy is crucial to the continued advancement of human civilisation. Simultaneously, our energy system has driven massive environmental and social challenges, including climate change. Transitioning the fossil fuel-based energy system we have to the clean energy system we need is a major and urgent interdisciplinary challenge. Environmental Research: Energy brings disciplines together to address system-level energy challenges, with an open access, society-owned publishing model dedicated to the dissemination of knowledge to the global energy research community.”
Dr Tim Smith, Head of Portfolio Development at IOP Publishing said: “Our continued development of the Environmental Research series reflects the increasing demand for high-quality research journals and outstanding publishing service across environmental science, and the role IOP Publishing has in serving this community worldwide. We’re looking forward to establishing Environmental Research: Energy as an essential open access platform for researchers to publish work that addresses the world’s energy crisis and accelerates scientific breakthroughs in support of identified long term Sustainable Developments Goals in the energy sector.”

Barcelona, Spain – 18 April 2023: An innovative three-step ablation approach including ethanol infusion of the vein of Marshall improves freedom from arrhythmias in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation compared to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone, according to late breaking science presented at EHRA 2023, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).1 Preliminary results at 10 months are presented, with follow up ongoing until 12 months.
The cornerstone of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation is complete isolation of the pulmonary veins.2 However, only 50–60% of patients remain in sinus rhythm at two years.3 Numerous ...

Barcelona, Spain – 18 April 2023: A novel software tool set to improve the management of elderly atrial fibrillation patients with multiple conditions is being designed by the EU-funded and ESC-coordinated EHRA-PATHS consortium. The latest updates on this clinical innovation will be presented at EHRA 2023, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).1
Scientific coordinator Professor Hein Heidbuchel said: “EHRA-PATHS is developing a standardised approach to ensure that patients with atrial fibrillation receive evidenced-based therapies for the comorbidities that underlie or complicate their heart rhythm disorder.”

Honolulu, HI | April 18, 2023—Findings from an award-winning Scientific Online Poster presented during the 2023 ARRS Annual Meeting on the island of Oahu determined that assessing the vascularity and elastography in suspect TIRADS categories can efficiently diagnose malignancy of thyroid nodules.
Acknowledging that sonographic TIRADS scoring remains the first method of imaging assessment for diagnosing malignant thyroid nodules, “we assessed the added value of shear-wave elastography (SWE) to classic TIRADS assessment,” said Leila Aghaghazvini, MD, from the department of radiology at Shariati Hospital and Iran’s University ...

1. Background and objectives
The Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT) that is the joint mission of the Ministry of Environment, the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency has observed almost continuously since its launch and is currently in operation.
Thermal And Near-infrared Sensor for carbon Observation – Fourier Transform Spectrometer (TANSO-FTS) onboard GOSAT observes the shortwave infrared (SWIR) spectra(*1). The carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) concentrations can be estimated by ...

The time has come and gone for universal masking in healthcare settings, according to healthcare epidemiologists and infectious diseases experts from healthcare systems throughout Boston and beyond. In a commentary published in Annals of Internal Medicine and co-authored by experts from Mass General Brigham, Beth Israel Lahey Health, Tufts Medicine, the VA Healthcare System Boston, and other healthcare systems across the country, the authors describe the changing context and conditions of the pandemic and outline why universal masking should no longer be required in healthcare settings.
“While critically important in the earlier ...

Hospital inpatients have better prospects of surviving a cardiac arrest in large hospitals and well-resourced wards, and daytime cardiac arrests are also associated with better chances of survival, a University of Gothenburg thesis shows.
Cardiac arrest means that the heart stops pumping blood. Within seconds, unconsciousness occurs; within minutes, brain cells start dying, causing irreparable damage.
The key to enhancing the patients’ chances of survival is restoring the circulation of oxygenated blood in the body. ...

A randomised clinical trial is looking at whether faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from healthy donors into adults with early-stage amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS – one of the most common forms of motor neurone disease) can modulate the immune reaction during inflammation responses that characterise disease progression, and aims to investigate the relationship between specific gut bacteria and their action on immune system cells.
The preliminary findings by Dr Alessandra Guarnaccia from Columbus-Gemelli University Hospital IRCCS, Rome, Italy and ...

The steps taken by a London hospital to prevent an outbreak of measles will be detailed at this year’s European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) in Copenhagen, Denmark (15-18 April).
Measles, which is highly contagious, can cause serious and potentially life-threating illness and complications including blindness, encephalitis (swelling of the brain) and pneumonia. Pregnant women, infants and severely immunocompromised individuals are at highest risk.
Contracted when pregnant, it can cause low birth weight babies, premature birth, miscarriage or stillbirth.
It usually starts with cold-like symptoms, followed by a rash a few days later. ...
