Study of performance, combustion, and emissions parameters of DI-diesel engine fueled with algae biodiesel/diesel/n-pentane blends by Elkelawy, Medhat

“…Due to the disadvantages of using pure biodiesel in engines, it was used as B50 (a blend of 50% diesel and 50% biodiesel). To enhance engine performance, n-pentane was used in different extents of 5, 10, and 15 ml per liter as an enhancer additive. …”

Understanding the mechanisms mediating cardio-renal benefit of empagliflozin in type 2 diabetes mellitus by Dimitrios, Patoulias

“…They have demonstrated1 that empagliflozin treatment resulted in a significant decrease in pulse pressure (PP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and cardiac workload, compared with placebo; at week 12, placebo-adjusted mean changes from baseline were − 2.5 mmHg for PP, − 2.2 mmHg for MAP and − 315 mmHg x beats per minute (bpm) for cardiac workload (p < 0.0001 for all). …”

Signaling pathways activated by PACAP in MCF-7 breast cancer cells by Zibara, Kazem

“…In addition, PACAP increased the phosphorylation levels of STAT1, Src and Raf within seconds, confirming their involvement in early stages of PACAP signaling whereas maximal phosphorylation of AKT, ERK and p38 was reached 10 to 20 min later. Moreover, selective inhibition of Src or PI3K resulted in a significant decrease in the phosphorylation of ERK and AKT, but not p38, demonstrating that PACAP signaling follows Src/Raf/ERK and PI3K/AKT pathways. …”

Low levels of Vitamin D during pregnancy associated with gestational diabetes mellitus and low birth weight: results from the MAASTHI birth cohort by Deepa, R.

“…For every one-unit increase in Vitamin D levels, Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) decreased by nearly 18%. Furthermore, causal mediation analysis showed that a decrease in one unit of Vitamin D is associated with a decrease of 0.015 units of fasting blood sugar (FBS) and 0.019 units of postprandial blood sugar (PPBS) as it flows through the mediator variable insulin resistance. …”

Enhancing the production of biogas through anaerobic co-digestion of agricultural waste and chemical pre-treatments by Almomani F.

“…The results revealed that the highest cumulative methane production (CMP) of 297.99 NL/kgVS can be generated by co-digestion of ASWs and CD at a ratio of 60:40. Further improvement was achieved via alkalinity treatment with 1.0 g of NaHCO3/gVS leading to decrease in lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose contents of feedstock by 3.5%, 10.5% and 15.9%, respectively, converting them to soluble fractions and improving the CMP by 11.2–29.7% based on substrate quality. …”
