CHEMISTRY AND LUNG TOXICITY OF PARTICULATE MATTER EMITTED FROM FIREARMS


Comparison of the Video Game Functional Assessment-Revised (VGFA-R) and Internet Gaming Disorder Test (IGD-20)

Initially labeled as internet addiction in the mid-1990s (e.g., Griffiths, 1996; Young, 1996), researchers have since focused on how specific online activities result in negative consequences for those who overuse and have problems with online applications such as online gambling and online sex (Griffiths, 2000; Potenza, 2017).More recently, this h

Extracellular vesicles enriched with an endothelial cell pro-survival microRNA affects skin tissue regeneration

Endothelial cell (EC) activity is essential for tissue regeneration in several (patho)physiological contexts.However, our capacity to deliver in vivo biomolecules capable of controlling EC fate is relatively limited.Here, we screened a library of microRNA (miR) mimics and identified 25 miRs capable of enhancing the survival of ECs exposed to ischem

Shape optimization of closed-box girder considering dynamic and aerodynamic effects on flutter: a CFD-enabled and Kriging surrogate-based strategy

Shape optimization of single box girder allows the bridge to achieve the most favourable aerodynamic performance.Currently, aerodynamic optimization of bridge deck is usually achieved Bags by traversing all potential schemes using wind tunnel tests or computational fluid dynamics (CFD), which are time-consuming, laborious, and restricted to few num
