Contribution of haemodynamic side effects and associated autonomic reflexes to ventricular arrhythmias triggering by torsadogenic hERG blocking drugs. [PDF]
Br J Pharmacol, 2022 Background and Purpose HERG blocking drugs known for their propensity to trigger Torsades de Pointes (TdP) were reported to induce a sympatho‐vagal coactivation and to enhance High Frequency heart rate (HFHR) and QT oscillations (HFQT) in telemetric data.

Influence of Succinimide Dispersants on Film Formation, Friction and Antiwear Properties of Zinc Dialkyl Dithiophosphate [PDF]
, 2012 ZDDP (zinc dialkyldithiophosphate) is arguably the most successful antiwear additive ever employed in crankcase engine lubricants. It was originally used as an antioxidant and shortly afterwards recognized for its antiwear and extreme pressure ...

Effects of sebum properties on skin friction: investigation using a bench test
Biosurface and Biotribology, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 43-47, June 2020., 2020 The hydro lipid film is an emulsion of sweat and sebum that covers the surface of the human skin and affects the tribological properties of the human skin. This study investigates the effects of the composition of the sebum on the average coefficient of friction.
