Re‐evaluation of argon (E 938) and helium (E 939) as food additives [PDF]
The Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF) provides a scientific opinion re‐evaluating the safety of the two food additives argon (E 938) and helium (E 939). Argon (Ar) and helium (He) are two noble gases, highly stable single atoms.

Reduction of the Pressurization System Final Mass for a Modern Rocket Launcher [PDF]
The work focuses on optimizing the pressurization system’s operating performance for a fuel tank of a turbo-pumped liquid propellant rocket engine. This system is the most complex and expensive in a medium-size launch vehicle, after the engine.

The principles of helium exploration
Commercial helium systems have been found to date as a serendipitous by-product of petroleum exploration. There are nevertheless significant differences in the source and migration properties of helium compared with petroleum.

Unimpeded Permeation of Water Through Helium-Leak–Tight Graphene-Based Membranes [PDF]
Porous Membranes Thin semi-permeable membranes are commonly used as chemical barriers or for filtration purposes. While the size of the pores will influence which molecules are able to pass, other factors—including the surface chemistry of the pore walls,

Improving helium abundance determinations with Leo P as a case study [PDF]
Currently, the primordial helium abundance is best estimated through spectroscopic observations of H II regions in metal-poor galaxies. However these determinations are limited by several systematic uncertainties which ultimately limit our ability to ...

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and the sirtuins caution: Pro‐cancer functions
This scoping review aims to perform a brief but comprehensive assessment of existing peer‐reviewed literature and determine whether raising nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide can prevent or promote tumorigenesis. The examination of extensive peer‐reviewed

The PHLEK Survey: A New Determination of the Primordial Helium Abundance [PDF]
We present Keck NIRSPEC and Keck NIRES spectroscopy of sixteen metal-poor galaxies that have pre-existing optical observations. The near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy specifically targets the He i λ10830 Å emission line, due to its sensitivity to the ...
