Diflubenzuron Caused Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Ca2+ Homeostasis Disruption, and Intrinsic Apoptosis in Trophoblastic Cells

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diflubenzuron is used as an insect growth inhibitor, and its potential risk to human health was raised owing to the possibility of environmental residues and human exposure. This study aimed to investigate the toxic mechanism of diflubenzuron on trophoblastic cells such as HTR8/SVneo and JEG‐3 cells. We investigated mitochondrial function, Ca2+

Effects of implant length and 3D bone-to-implant contact on initial stabilities of dental implant: a microcomputed tomography study

BMC Oral Health, 2017
Background The influences of potential bone-to-implant contact (BIC) area (pBICA), BIC area (BICA), and three dimensional (3D) BIC percentage (3D BIC%; defined as BICA divided by pBICA) in relation to the implant length on initial implant stability were ...

Assessment of Metal Contamination and Human Health Risk in the Buffalo River Estuary, Eastern Cape, South Africa

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metal contamination in estuarine environments poses environmental and public health concerns, particularly where surface waters support domestic and subsistence uses. This study assessed the seasonal distribution, controlling mechanisms, and non‐carcinogenic health risks of selected metals (Mg, Al, Ba, Fe, Mn, and Zn) in the Buffalo River ...

Reindustrialization meets rural reality: The limits of foreign direct investment‐led development

Contemporary Economic Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract As industrial policy drives new waves of foreign direct investment (FDI) into the U.S., rural areas are becoming key destinations. Using synthetic control, difference‐in‐differences, and propensity score matching, I examine whether rural FDI translates job growth into higher incomes.

Fish welfare in a changing world: New developments and current challenges

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The welfare of non‐human animals is central to ethical discussions on animal use, with increasing attention to fish welfare across research, aquaria, aquaculture, and fisheries. This paper reviews current theoretical approaches to animal welfare and recent advances in defining and assessing fish welfare since the seminal paper by Huntingford ...

Investor sentiment and stock market returns: A comparative analysis of mood, word, and trade

Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.
Abstract We examine and compare the return predictability of mood‐, word‐, and trade‐based sentiment measures across 18 international stock markets. Empirical results reveal that the trade‐based measure performs strongly across many settings; the word‐based measure contributes important complementary information, including in cases where the trade ...

Comparison of Implant Stability Using Resonance Frequency Analysis: Osteotome versus Conventional Drilling

Frontiers in Dentistry, 2016
Objectives: Implant primary stability is one of the important factors in achieving implant success. The osteotome technique may improve primary stability in patients with poor bone quality. The aim of this study was to compare implant stability using two

How the Threat of Knowledge Loss Drives Firms’ R&D Dynamism: A Threat Rigidity Perspective

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on threat rigidity theory, this paper argues that the threat of knowledge loss gives rise to a threat rigidity effect in firms’ R&D function, that is, reduces their R&D dynamism. It further argues that the dampening of R&D dynamism is greater for firms more vulnerable to the threat of knowledge loss due to facing greater product market

Impacts of 3D bone-to- implant contact and implant diameter on primary stability of dental implant

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2017
This study investigated the effects of three three-dimensional (3D) bone-to-implant contact (BIC) parameters—potential BIC area (pBICA), BIC area (BICA), and 3D BIC percentage (3D BIC%; defined as BICA divided by pBICA)—in relation to the implant ...
