Global burden of 87 risk factors in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 by Christopher J L Murray (13580635)

“…Exposure levels for dichotomous, polytomous, and continuous risk factors were summarised with use of the summary exposure value to facilitate comparisons over time, across location, and across risks. Because the entire time series from 1990 to 2019 has been re-estimated with use of consistent data and methods, these results supersede previously published GBD estimates of attributable burden. …”

Numerical analysis of spatial distribution of carbon in methane dry reforming over supported nickel catalyst in a packed bed reactor by Ebrahimi, Parisa

“…The total carbon deposited was estimated to be around 18 g after 10,000 s of Time on Stream (TOS) at 650 °C. As the temperature increased, the total carbon deposition decreased, although this reduction became negligible beyond 850 °C. …”

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. …”

Highly sensitive humidity sensor based on cadmium selenide quantum dots-polymer composites: synthesis, characterization, and effect of UV/ozone treatment by Khouloud Jlassi (2583832)

“…Overall, the hydrophilicity of the developed films increases with UV radiation exposure time, leading to enhanced water vapor absorption without deforming the film surface. …”

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). …”
