Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles have attracted increased attention due to their unusual physical and chemical properties. The nature, dispersion, and size of the nanoparticles are key factors in determining the activity and selectivity of the supported catalyst
Scarring of the glomerular and tubulointerstitial compartments is a hallmark of progressive kidney disease and is considered a common pathway leading to end-stage of renal failure. Renal fibrosis involves a complex interplay between intrinsic kidney cells, leukocytes, and fibroblasts in which transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) plays a key role. Inhibition of TGF-β1 suppresses renal fib…
With the development of modern society, environmental pollution and energy shortages have become the focus of attention worldwide. Most of the global energy supplies are generated from fossil fuel, which gives rise to environmental pollution and climate change. Photocatalysis technology, which can directly convert solar energy into high value-added fuel and chemical materials or degrade a wide …
In tilting-pad journal bearings (TPJB), power loss corresponds to the internal friction in the shearing of the oil. Besides the lubrication gap, intermediate spaces between the pads account for a notable amount of frictional losses
A Gentle Occupation analyses Dutch military operations in the aftermath of the 2003 US-led invasion in Iraq. It raises the question why, in contrast to most allied troops elsewhere in Iraq, Dutch forces in Al Muthanna province met with little resistance and left Iraq self-confident of their ability to deal with this type of stabilisation operations
Dari mana para dewa berasal – dan berapa biaya untuk melahirkan mereka?. Dalam Mempraktikkan Sekte yang Aman F. LeRon Shults berpendapat pentingnya "pembicaraan" tentang penyebab dan konsekuensi berpartisipasi dalam sekte agama. Untuk bertahan hidup dan berkembang sebagai spesies sosial, kita manusia kemungkinan akan terus membutuhkan semacam sekte (serta seks) untuk waktu yang cukup lama. Ta…

Background and Objectives: Aspirin (ASA) is a commonly used antithrombotic drug that has been demonstrated to reduce venous thromboembolism. The aim was to analyze if geriatric COVID-19 patients undergoing a 100 mg/day Aspirin (ASA) treatment prior to hospitalization differ in hospital outcome compared to patients without previous ASA therapy. Materials and Methods: An observational retrosp…
In A Fragile Inheritance Saloni Mathur investigates the work of two seminal figures from the global South: the New Delhi-based critic and curator Geeta Kapur and contemporary multimedia artist Vivan Sundaram. Examining their written and visual works over the past fifty years, Mathur illuminates how her protagonists' political and aesthetic commitments intersect and foreground uncertainty, diffi…
With the popularization of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications and the continuous development of the power grid network, identifying power line scenarios in advance is very important for the safety of low-altitude flight. The power line scene recognition (PLSR) under complex background environments is particularly important. The complex background environment of power lines is usually…
