Downdraft Devices for Negative Emissions—Quantification Study and Environmental Implication

Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential far exceeding that of CO2 over short time horizons. Its removal from the atmosphere remains challenging due to its low ambient concentration and chemical stability. This study explores downdraft energy towers (DETs) as an innovative CH4 mitigation technology that enhances

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss Among Quarry Workers in a North-Eastern State of Malaysia: A Study on Knowledge, Attitude and Practice

Oman Medical Journal, 2013
Objectives: Noise is known to be one of the environmental and occupational hazards listed in the Factory and Machinery Act 1967. Quarries with loud deafening sounds from trucks and machineries pose the risk of noise-induced hearing loss to workers.

Prevalence of Esophageal Dysmotility and Reflux in Muscle Tension Dysphonia Patients

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) contributes to muscle tension dysphonia (MTD); however, symptoms overlap with esophageal dysmotility. Study aims were to determine the prevalence of esophageal disorders among MTD patients and correlate pathologies to patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs).

Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy or Intratympanic Steroids in Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss?

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is traditionally treated with steroids, either orally and/or via intratympanic injections, and hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) has resurged in popularity as an adjunctive therapy. The study has not found any additional treatment benefit with adjunctive concurrent HBOT; however, HBOT might be of value to patients ...

On the analyzing of bifurcation properties of the one‐dimensional Mackey–Glass model by using a generalized approach

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
The goal of this work is to look at how a nonlinear model describes hematopoiesis and its complexities utilizing commonly used techniques with historical and material links. Based on time delay, the Mackey–Glass model is explored in two instances. To offer a range, the relevance of the parameter impacting stability (bifurcation) is recorded.
