Neurotoxicity of manganese via ferroptosis induced by redox imbalance and iron overload

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Manganese (Mn) is an essential trace element for maintaining bodily functions. Excessive exposure to Mn can pose serious health risks to humans and animals, particularly to the nervous system.

Multiple effects of silymarin on the hepatitis C virus lifecycle [PDF]

, 2010
Silymarin, an extract from milk thistle (Silybum marianum), and its purified flavonolignans have been recently shown to inhibit hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, both in vitro and in vivo.

Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.

Stochastic Insights into Leakage Dynamics across Diverse Pipe Materials in Water Distribution Systems

Engineering Proceedings
This study developed more realistic stochastic models of pipe failures that incorporate leak types and dimensions based on different pipe materials. The distributions of pipe failure types and properties were identified by analysing photographic records ...

How much does it cost? The LIFE Project - costing models for digital curation and preservation [PDF]

, 2007
Digital preservation is concerned with the long-term safekeeping of electronic resources. How can we be confident of their permanence, if we do not know the cost of preservation?

Ejecta‐Modulated Bubble Dynamics Play a Dominant Role in Stone Retropulsion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Stone motion during laser ablation is shown to result primarily from asymmetric cavitation bubble collapse, not from ejecta recoil. This challenges long‐standing assumptions and highlights the dominant role of bubble dynamics in laser–material interactions.
