Global, regional, and national burden of household air pollution, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 حسب Fiona B, Bennitt

"…FindingsIn 2021, 2·67 billion (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 2·63–2·71) people, 33·8% (95% UI 33·2–34·3) of the global population, were exposed to HAP from all sources at a mean concentration of 84·2 μg/m3. Although these figures show a notable reduction in the percentage of the global population exposed in 1990 (56·7%, 56·4–57·1), in absolute terms, there has been only a decline of 0·35 billion (10%) from the 3·02 billion people exposed to HAP in 1990. …"

Effects of visual field impairment on driving حسب Jan Andersson (218600)

"…Reaction time for double stimuli trials was 15% longer (1,68s vs. 1.46s) and hit rate was 27% less (69% vs. 88%). When the results from a secondary trial for drivers visual impairments were compared the normal sighted drivers’ first try the differences decreased but were still statistical significant. …"

Transfusion of Plasma from Young Exercise mice ameliorates Aging-associated Cognitive Impairments on Learning and Memory through activation of Autophagy حسب Khoury, Reine

"…The brain’s cognitive skills gradually decline with aging. In old animals, damaged proteins accumulate in neurons since autophagy, a catabolic process responsible for organelle and protein degradation, decreases. …"

Functionalization of reverse osmosis membrane with graphene oxide to reduce both membrane scaling and biofouling حسب Mohammad Y. Ashfaq (14152290)

"…Results indicated that the permeate flux was reduced by only 15% at the end of the scaling experiment as opposed to the bared RO membrane which faced up to 22% decline in flux. The results of scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared, and X-ray diffraction confirmed that the bared RO membrane was extensively scaled by the CaSO4 precipitates. …"
