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. …”

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). …”
