1. IntroductionNeurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) describe a broad range of neurological conditions that affect the proper development and function of the brain and nervous system. NDDs are highly prevalent, affecting approximately 15% of children and adolescents worldwide [1]. These disorders typically manifest in early childhood, leading to impairment of a variety of functions, including cognitive, motor skills, communication, and behavior [2,3,4].

AbstractIntrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the second most common primary hepatic malignancy after hepatocellular carcinoma, with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. The genomic features of ICC in Chinese patients remain largely unknown. In this study, we perform deep whole-exome sequencing of 204 Chinese primary ICCs and characterize genomic alterations and clonal evolution, and reveal their associations with patient outcomes.

1 Introduction In finance, beta is a measure of systematic risk which captures the responsiveness of a stock's price to changes in the overall stock market. Beta lies at the heart of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) of Sharpe (1964) and Lintner (1965). Accurate estimates of beta have found a wide applicability in financial activities including stock valuation, cost of equity estimation, portfolio management, and hedging decisions.

1. IntroductionMicrowave heating is a technology that has attracted the attention of various industries and research groups. The heating effect of microwaves on materials includes the following mechanisms: Bipolar rotation—when a material is exposed to a microwave field, polar molecules rotate in the direction of increasing amplitude, and friction occurs between the molecules, thus generating heat. Electrical resistance heating, which occurs in conductors or semiconductors with free electrons.

1. IntroductionThe maneuverability of a ship is directly related to its safety during navigation. Many international standards have been proposed for ship maneuvering issues, which provide regulations and safety recommendations for maneuverability indicators of different ship types and propose new research directions [1,2,3]. This indicates that ship maneuvering remains one of the most important research areas in the field of ocean engineering [4,5].

1. IntroductionMicrowave heating is a technology of great interest to various industries and research groups. Microwaves exist as a form of energy, but can be converted to heat when entering some materials. Materials generally exhibit the following four properties for microwaves: absorption, partial absorption, penetration, and reflection.
