Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles Achieve Long‐Lasting Senescence Inhibition in an Aging Mouse Model of Sarcopenia via Reactive Oxygen Species Scavenging and CILP2 Downregulation

Small Science, EarlyView.
The structure of synthesized cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeNPs) reveals antioxidative properties. CeNP reduces reactive oxygen species and shows good biocompatibility in muscle satellite cells. CeNP‐treated mice exhibit long‐acting anti‐sarcopenic effects through improved muscle mass and strength.

Embedded Interactions and Selective Disclosure: Network Effects on Conversations aboard Skylab

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
How do absent others influence our interactions? We argue in this paper that interactions are embedded within networks formed by chains of specific relationships between known third parties. The anticipation of future interactions with external others conditions our interpretation of the current situation and affects our behavior in the interaction. We

Similarity Assessment of the Engineering Concepts: Decision‐Making Support and Metrics

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The new product development (NPD) process is a systematic approach to bring new products and innovations to market. Nowadays, this process is affected by a number of influencing factors associated with the fast‐paced technological changes. One of those factors is the distributed design nature of product development activities: team members are
