Changing life expectancy in European countries 1990–2021: a subanalysis of causes and risk factors from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Nicholas, Steel

“…In 2019–21, there was an overall decrease in mean annual life expectancy across all countries (overall mean –0·18 years [95% UI –0·22 to –0·13]), with all countries having an absolute fall in life expectancy except for Ireland, Iceland, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, which showed marginal improvement in life expectancy, and Belgium, which showed no change in life expectancy. …”

Kinetics and thermodynamics of acoustic release of doxorubicin from non-stabilized polymeric micelles by Husseini, Ghaleb

“…This paper studies the thermodynamic characteristics of ultrasound-activated release of Doxorubicin (Dox) from micelles. The release and re-encapsulation of Dox into Pluronic® P105 micelles was measured by recording the fluorescence of a solution of 10 μg/ml Dox and 10 wt% P105 polymer in phosphate-buffered saline, during and after insonation by ultrasound at three temperatures (25 °C, 37 °C and 56 °C). …”

Evaluation of the cementite morphology influence on the hydrogen induced crack nucleation and propagation path in carbon steels by Shabnam Karimi (19457575)

“…<p>The effect of cementite morphology on the crack initiation and growth path was studied using in situ electrochem-ical micro-cantilever bending (ECCB) technique under hydrogen (H) charging. Two carbon steels with lamellar cementite morphology (pearlitic microstructure) and spherical or broken lamellas cementite morphology (spheroidite microstructure), both with approximately the same carbon equivalent, were used in this study. …”

The Influence of Loneliness and Living Alone on the Quality of Life of the Elderly: Evidence from Europe by Ammari, Lora

“…This thesis explores the relationship between living alone, loneliness, and quality of life (QoL) in elderly Europeans. This research indicates a positive correlation between living alone and loneliness, with a greater effect on males, and identifies loneliness as an independent factor decreasing QoL. …”
