Microplastics and the Endocrine–Metabolic Interface: Novel Diagnostic Tools Targeting Thyroid–Adipose Axis

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have been identified as major environmental contaminants that can affect organisms directly and act as carriers of particles and chemical additives, thereby aggravating endocrine networks that coordinate metabolic homeostasis.

Mechanism of Quasi‐Power‐Frequency Resonant Overvoltage Triggered by Multiple Lightning Strikes in High‐Voltage Alternating Current Systems Equipped With Shunt Reactor

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the generation mechanism of quasi‐power‐frequency resonant overvoltage triggered by multiple lightning strikes in high‐voltage alternating current (HVAC) systems equipped with shunt reactors. Based on field measurements from a 500 kV AC system, equivalent and simplified circuit models have been established to analyse ...

Analysis of brain activity during local hot-cold stimulus using near-infrared spectroscopy (Analysis of brain activity during pain stimulus by cold stimulus)

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015
Methods such as the Predicted Mean Vote and Standard New Effective Temperature were developed to evaluate thermal comfort. However, radiation and convection of heat due to factors such as sunlight or air cycle are strong in indoor environments. Moreover,

An Overview of High‐Temperature Superconducting Cables in DC Systems: Unlocking Potential for High‐Voltage DC Networks

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper provides an overview of high‐temperature superconducting (HTS) cables in DC systems, with a focus on their deployment in high‐voltage DC (HVDC) networks. The assessment of HTS cable properties—such as extremely low electrical resistance, high current‐carrying capacity and a compact geometry—and their comparison with those of ...

Can prisons move people into better jobs? A look at correctional vocational training programs and sectoral employment outcomes

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Three‐quarters of US prisons offer vocational training programs, which aim to place trainees in middle‐skills jobs in specific occupational sectors post‐release. These middle‐skills jobs may more effectively reduce recidivism than the jobs that normally characterize the labor market experience of the formerly incarcerated, yet whether ...

Shade variability and stability in interim and definitive tooth‐colored resin‐based restorative materials: Comparing manufacturer‐claimed shades to a universal shade guide

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the shade variability and stability of interim and definitive tooth‐colored restorative materials by comparing manufacturer‐claimed shades to a universal shade guide before and after thermocycling. Materials and Methods Eight commercially available tooth‐colored restorative materials were tested, including conventional ...

The effects of material thicknesses and substrates on the translucency and color masking ability of additively manufactured definitive crown materials

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate the translucency of the new 3D‐printable materials concerning thickness and the color masking ability of each material against different substrate colors. Materials and Methods Ninety square‐shaped specimens (12.0 mm × 12.0 mm) of two new 3D‐printable materials: ceramic‐infiltrated hybrid resin composite (VS) and light ...
