The influence of oily vehicle composition and vehicle-membrane interactions on the diffusion of model permeants across barrier membranes
(2021-01-14)
In many instances, one or more components of a pharmaceutical or cosmetic formulation is an oil. The aims of this study were two-fold. First, to examine the potential of preferential uptake of one oily vehicle component ...
Experimental investigation on heat recovery from flue gas using falling film method
(2021-01-13)
The discharge of the flue gas is rich in water vapor and its latent heat, which leads to the main heat and moisture loss for the natural gas. In this article, based on the falling film spray technology, a new test rig was ...
The benzydamine experience: A systematic review of Benzydamine abuse
(2021-01-13)
Background: Both prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs recently emerged among novel psychoactive substances (NPS) being reported as ingested for recreational purposes. Among them, benzydamine (BZY), normally ...
A multi-stakeholder approach to the co-production of the research agenda for medicines optimisation
(2021-01-13)
BACKGROUND: Up to 50% of medicines are not used as intended, resulting in poor health and economic outcomes. Medicines optimisation is 'a person-centred approach to safe and effective medicines use, to ensure people obtain ...
The origin of low-surface-brightness galaxies in the dwarf regime
(2021-01-13)
Low-surface-brightness galaxies (LSBGs) -- defined as systems that are fainter than the surface-brightness limits of past wide-area surveys -- form the overwhelming majority of galaxies in the dwarf regime (M* < 10^9 MSun). ...
Zero Tillage Systems Conserve Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi, Enhancing Soil Glomalin and Water Stable Aggregates with Implications for Soil Stability
(2021-01-13)
Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form mutualistic symbiotic relationships with approximately 80% of terrestrial plant species, while producing the glycoprotein glomalin as a structural support molecule along their mycelial ...
An integrated approach to simulate gas turbine secondary air system
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021-01-11)
One of the most critical parts of a modern gas turbine that its reliability and performance has a great influence on cycle efficiency is the secondary air system (SAS). Modern systems functions to supply not only cooling ...
Beyond the Purple Drank. Study of promethazine abuse according to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR) reports.
(2021-01-10)
Background: Promethazine is a medicinal product, available on its own or in combination with other ingredients including dextromethorphan, paracetamol, and/or expectorants. Anecdotal reports have however indicated that ...
The MECCANO Dataset: Understanding Human-Object Interactions from Egocentric Videos in an Industrial-like Domain.
(2021-01-09)
Wearable cameras allow to collect images and videos of humans interacting with the world. While human-object interactions have been thoroughly investigated in third person vision, the problem has been understudied in ...
Energy expenditure estimates in chronic kidney disease using a novel physical activity questionnaire
(2021-01-08)
BACKGROUND: Physical activity (PA) levels are low in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), and associate with increased morbidity and mortality. Reliable tools to assess PA in CKD are scarce. We aimed to ...
