Thermal Degradation and Thermal Decomposition of Plasticized PVC Including POSS Additives for PVC Compounds: Mechanisms, Impact, and Performance of Standards

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, EarlyView.
Additives' structures. ABSTRACT Poly(vinyl chloride) has been a key polymeric material since its commercial production in 1931, demonstrating versatility across numerous industries due to its compatibility with various additives. PVC's inherent properties, flame retardance, durability, and recyclability make it ideal for building and construction ...

Swing-out rail system separates overhead crane rails [PDF]

, 1966
Swing-out rail system separates and reconnects the overhead traveling crane rails of a building to provide for the passage of a thick concrete radiation shield sliding door through the rails. In the swing-out position, the rail cantilevered from an axial

Games and gamification projects in the Australian public sector

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract This article surveys the arrival of gameful government into Australian public sector practice. Gameful government is a shorthand, descriptive term denoting the interpenetration of (video)games, and design elements and thinking from them, into public sector work.

A Bayesian classification model to reconstruct lifetime movement patterns of riverine fish using environmental tracers

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental tracers, including both elemental concentrations and isotope ratios, are widely used to reconstruct the movement patterns of animals throughout landscapes. The methodology involves creating a map that describes the distribution of the environmental tracer across the landscape, an isoscape and then matching the values of the same ...

Human Amniotic Epithelial Cells Induce Localized Cell-Mediated Immune Privilege in Vitro: Implications for Pancreatic Islet Transplantation

Cell Transplantation, 2011
Chronic systemic immunosuppression in cell replacement therapy restricts its clinical application. This study sought to explore the potential of cell-based immune modulation as an alternative to immunosuppressive drug therapy in the context of pancreatic

Resolving Endoplasmic Reticulum‐Protein Misfolding Restores Corticosteroid Sensitivity in Experimental Models of Severe Asthma

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study investigates the role of ER stress in steroid resistance in severe asthma. Results from advanced 3D models of human bronchial epithelial cells, steroid‐resistant severe asthma mouse models, and human severe asthma sputum samples show that treatment with ICS in combination with the ER stress inhibitor 4‐PBA significantly enhances steroid ...

Testicular histopathology and its association with germ cell numbers, serum concentrations of reproductive hormones, and semen quality

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background It is well‐established that spermatogenesis, semen quality, and reproductive hormones are interlinked. It is, however, less well‐described how various specific testicular histopathologies are linked to reproductive hormones and semen quality.

Categoricity and multidimensional diagrams

, 2018
We study multidimensional diagrams in independent amalgamation in the framework of abstract elementary classes (AECs). We use them to prove the eventual categoricity conjecture for AECs, assuming a large cardinal axiom.

In Situ Expression of miR‐371a‐3p and miR‐373‐3p in Testicular Germ Cell Tumours and Detection in Serum

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most common type of tumour diagnosed in young men, and reliable non‐invasive biomarkers are crucial for clinical management. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) from the miR‐371–373 cluster have recently been identified as novel and more sensitive serum biomarkers than the conventional protein‐based ...
