Boron Nitride Nanomaterials Trigger Immunomodulatory Effects in Human Broncho‐Epithelial Cells by Modulating Eicosanoid Lipid Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that BNNT exposure disrupts lipid homeostasis in bronchial epithelial cell cultures and activates eicosanoid lipid biosynthesis, producing inflammatory lipid mediators like leukotrienes. These effects are more pronounced in asthmatic cell cultures compared to healthy ones.

Heterointerface‐Functionalized Photoelectric Response of Metal‐Oxide Schottky Photodiode for Intelligent Fire Detection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A heterointerface‐functionalized Schottky photodiode (HF‐SPD) is developed to explore the photoelectric capabilities of low‐temperature oxide semiconductors. Besides the remarkable UV detection capability, the bias‐tunable photo response endows HF‐SPD with the unique wavelength selectivity.

Accident Prediction Modeling Approaches for European Railway Level Crossing Safety

Safety is a core concern in the railway operation. Particularly, in Europe, level crossing (LX) safety is one of the most critical issues for railways. LX accidents often lead to fatalities and weighted injuries and seriously hamper railway safety reputation. Moreover, according to statistics, collisions between trains and motorized vehicles contribute

Quantifying the impact of risk factors at railway level crossings using accident prediction models: A cross-country study

, 2018
Railway level crossings are critical elements in railway and road networks with accident occurrences resulting in fatal and severe injuries. In addition to the human loss, level crossing accidents also negatively impact rail transport reliability and transport speed.
