Investigation of the physics of transduction in nafion / Ionic liquid composite membranes by Akle, Barbar

“…Ionomeric polymer actuators based on Nafion membranes exhibit large bending motion (1%) under the application of small voltages (1-5 V). Actuation in these materials is believed to arise from the field-induced motion of mobile charges when a voltage is applied. …”

Covid-19 Spread Simulation based on control measures in UAE by Yaseen, Amer

“…Results show that if schools get closed, then the number of infections will surge rapidly starting from day 100 and reach a peak of 5% of population at day 150. Similarly, closing the universities will cause the number of infections to start surging at day 70 and reach a peak of 7% of population at day 120. …”

General developmental health in the VPA-rat model of autism by Khazen, Georges

“…In rats, early embryonic exposure, around the time of neural tube closure, leads to autism-like anatomical and behavioral abnormalities in the offspring. Considering the increasing use of the VPA rat model, we present our observations of the general health of Wistar dams treated with a single intraperitoneal injection of 500 or, 600 mg/kg VPA on embryonic day E12.5, as well as their male and female offspring, in comparison to saline-exposed controls. …”

Country of birth affects blood pressure in the French hypertensive diabetic population by Bahous, Sola Aoun

“…In a population of 56,242 individuals living in France, we showed that individuals born in France have significantly different levels of blood pressure (BP) and cardiovascular (CV) risk factors than African and Asian populations born in their own country but living long-term in France (average duration of stay, 5–10 years). …”
