Performance analysis and evaluation of a triple-effect ammonia-water absorption-refrigeration system حسب Ratlamwala, Tahir Abdul Hussain

"…It is found that both energetic and exergetic COPs vary from 0.31 to 1.867 and 0.165 to 0.964, respectively, as the inlet temperature to the high-temperature generator (HTG), cooling load, and concentration of the strong solution are increased, while the rate of heat input varies from 65.5 to 71.5%. Moreover, increase in the mixture exit temperature from the HTG, concentration of the weak solution, and mass flow rate result in the variation of energetic and exergetic COPs from 2.49 to 0.68 and 1.0 to 0.23, respectively, which results in the change of rate of heat input from 7.1 to 28.5 kW. …"

Methane production enhancement from Tetraselmis biomass co-digestion using frying oil residue as co-substrate and ultrasonication as pretreatment حسب Firas, Feki

"…Interestingly, compared to untreated Tetraselmis biomass, sonication pretreatment using specific energy of 1.6 kJ/g VS significantly improved specific methane production by 60.5%. However, increasing specific energy sonication to 3.2 kJ/g VS decreased the positive energy balance of whole process from 8.6 to 5.5 ± 0.3 kJ/g VS. …"

Decreased methylglyoxal-mediated protein glycation in the healthy aging mouse model of ectopic expression of UCP1 in skeletal muscle حسب Jinit, Masania

"…From this and previous transcriptomic studies, signaling involved in enhanced removal of MG-modified protein is likely increased HSPB1-directed HUWE1 ubiquitination through eIF2α-mediated, ATF5-induced increased expression of HSPB1. Decreased whole body exposure to MG-derived AGEs may be linked to increased weight specific physical activity of HSA-mUCP1 mice. …"

Diagnosing type 2 diabetes using Hemoglobin A1c: a systematic review and meta-analysis of the diagnostic cutpoint based on microvascular complications حسب Alexandra E. Butler (6189536)

"…</p><h3>Conclusions</h3><p dir="ltr">The prevalence of nephropathy and moderate retinopathy was increased in subjects with HbA1c values ≥ 6.5% confirming the high specificity of this value for diagnosing T2DM; however, at HbA1c < 6.5% retinopathy increased at age > 55 years and, most strikingly, in African-Americans, suggesting there may be excess microvascular complication prevalence (particularly nephropathy) in individuals below the diabetes diagnostic threshold.…"
