On the benefits of sleep by Nature Research (16552612)

“…They suggest, for example, that employers consider reducing the number of shift rotations, and increasing the time between shift changes. They also suggest that night shift workers do everything they can to ensure they get good quality sleep— such as avoiding coffee and physical exertion before sleep, wearing eye masks and ear plugs—and that they have regular health checks. …”

Benzene Removal by Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Decorated Carbon Nanotubes by Aamir Abbas (9730436)

“…Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to study the adsorptive removal of benzene and the effect of parameters such as pH, contact time, and adsorbent dosage. The maximum removal of benzene was 61% with iron oxide impregnated CNTs at an adsorbent dosage 100 mg, shaking speed 200 rpm, contact time 2 hours, initial concentration 1 ppm, and pH 6. …”

Impaired Liver Size and Compromised Neurobehavioral Activity are Elicited by Chitosan Nanoparticles in the Zebrafish Embryo Model by Haissam Abou-Saleh (497840)

“…Although no single sign of cardiotoxicity was observed upon exposure to 200 mg/L of ChNPs, as judged by heartbeat rate, the corrected QT interval (QTc, which measures the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave in the heart's electrical cycle), maximum cardiac arrest, and ejection fraction assays, the same dosage elicited the impairment of both liver size (decreased liver size, but without steatosis and lipid yolk retention) and neurobehavioral activity (increased movement under different light conditions). …”
