Car emissions harm both the environment and human health, and current U.S. EV tax credits mainly benefit high-income households because EVs are expensive. This study evaluates U.S. vehicle emissions policies by analyzing 2022 national vehicle data to compare the fuel economy and greenhouse gas impacts of the current EV tax credit with a proposed policy that incentivizes hybrid vehicle purchases.

To address the limitations in predicting the severity of Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), here the authors utilized a fluid-filled chamber model to quantify the relationship between defect size and right atrial fluid output. The findings confirmed that larger ASD diameters result in a linear increase in fluid output, validating a cost-effective model that can improve clinical prognosis and treatment planning for heart failure risks.
