Ecotoxicological Assessment of Thermally- and Hydrogen-Reduced Graphene Oxide/TiO₂ Photocatalytic Nanocomposites Using the Zebrafish Embryo Model. by Al-Kandari, Halema

“…However, both nanocomposites should be used with caution at concentration higher than the NOEC (400 mg/L), in particular RGOTi, which significantly (i) caused pericardial and yolk sac edema; (ii) decreased the hatching rate, locomotion, and hematopoietic activities; and (iii) affected the heart rate. …”

Rhus coriaria induces senescence and autophagic cell death in breast cancer cells through a mechanism involving p38 and ERK1/2 activation by El Hasasna, Hussain

“…Furthermore, we found that while both autophagy inhibitors abolished p38 phosphorylation, only CQ led to significant decrease in pERK1/2. Finally, RCE induced DNA damage and reduced mutant p53, two events that preceded autophagy. …”

Supramaximal-Exercise Training Improves Heart Rate Variability in Association With Reduced Catecholamine in Obese Adults by Jabbour, Georges

“…The improvement in LH and HF were associated with VO2max increases (β = 0.22 p = 0.01 and β = 0.33; p = 0.01). The decreases observed for the LF/HF ratio are mainly associated to NA decreases observed at rest (β = 0.31; p = 0.001) and at VT1 (β = 0.38; p = 0.001). …”

The role of type II FB (I):Tl+ defect in laser light generation and color image formation at the low coordination surface sites of AgBr: Ab initio calculations by Shalabi, A.S.

“…All relaxed excited states of the defect containing surfaces were deep below the lower edges of the conduction bands of the ground-state defect-free surfaces indicating that type II FB(I):Tl+ is suitable laser defect. The probability of orientational destruction of the two centers, attributed to the assumed saddle point ion configurations along the 〈1 1 0〉 axis, was found to decrease as the coordination number of the surface ions decreases. …”
