Running an electron microscopy core facility

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract As electron microscopes became more costly, technically complex, and integral to a wide range of scientific fields, centralised electron microscopy (EM) core facilities have become essential for maintaining accessibility, performance, and quality.

Chemical agents to control biofilm formation in step 1 of care—Toothpastes and mouthwashes/concepts and challenges

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Maintaining optimal oral hygiene is important for overall oral care, ensuring the well‐being of teeth and their surrounding tissues. In addition, it promotes fresh breath and a pleasing smile. A key element of oral self‐care is the daily use of toothpaste during regular brushing.

Geological disposal of high-level radioactive wastes

, 1979
The importance of nuclear powered electricity generation in helping to solve Canada's future energy requirements is well documented. It is also well known that whereas nuclear reactors are technically feasible, they also involve serious human and environmental problems which remain to be solved.

Uncovering the impact of the cardiovascular system on cerebrovascular health using MRI

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human cerebrovasculature is finely tuned to enable local changes in blood flow to meet the brain's demands, whilst protecting the brain from systemic changes in blood pressure, both acutely during a heartbeat and chronically over time. This review summarises cerebrovascular structure and function, their role in disease and neurodegeneration ...

Transfer of paracetamol across the placenta and fetal blood–brain barriers and its safety for use in pregnancy

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is commonly taken during pregnancy for pain and fever. To gain a more comprehensive understanding of paracetamol's effects during pregnancy, several elements need to be examined including the transfer of paracetamol across the placenta and into the developing brain, the short‐ and long‐term effects of ...

Identification of safety-relevant radionuclides for performance assessment modeling

Frontiers in Nuclear Engineering
We propose, apply, and verify a screening approach for the selection of safety-relevant radionuclides that should be tracked in models assessing the performance of geologic repositories for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive ...

Erosion of granular sediments by submerged impinging jets: Particle size effects and cohesion onset

AIChE Journal, Volume 72, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the erosion behavior and modeling of glass particle beds under impinging jet conditions, with a focus on particle size effects and the onset of cohesion. Ultrasonic profiling is implemented to scan and measure static crater profiles.
