Surface texturing can improve lubrication and entrap wear debris but increases the effective roughness of the surfaces, which can induce higher contact pressures.On the one hand, this can be detrimental, but on the other hand, the increase in contact pressure could be used to activate the formation of a ZDDP tribofilm from fully-formulated lubrican
Bioradar-based noncontact breathing detection technology has been widely studied due to its superior detection performance.In this paper, a breath detection mechanism based on the change in radar Light Bars cross section (RCS) is proposed by using a forward scatter radar and the deduction of the mathematical model of the received signal.Furthermore
PurposeThis study aimed to explore the circular RNA (circRNA/circ) profile engaged in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) development and metastasis and to investigate potentially key carcinogenic circRNAs related to NSCLC.MethodsCircRNA profiles between 10 NSCLC tissues and 10 adjacent tissues and between five NSCLC tissues with lymph node metastas
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of global morbidity and mortality.Extensive efforts have been invested to explicate mechanisms implicated in the onset and progression of CVD.Besides the usual suspects as risk factors (obesity, diabetes, and others), the gut microbiome has emerged as a prominent and essential factor in the pat
Mineral carbonation is emerging as a reliable CO2 capture technology that can mitigate climate change.In lime-treated clayey soils, mineral carbonation occurs through the carbonation of free lime and cementitious products derived from pozzolanic reactions.The kinetics of the reactions in lime-treated clayey soils are variable and depend primarily o
