Vapors produced by electronic cigarettes and e-juices with flavorings induce toxicity, oxidative stress, and inflammatory response in lung epithelial cells and in mouse lung. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Oxidative stress and inflammatory response are the key events in the pathogenesis of chronic airway diseases. The consumption of electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) with a variety of e-liquids/e-juices is alarmingly increasing without the unrealized potential

The amplitude of light scattering by a hexagonal column with hollow ends in the Rayleigh-Gans-Debye approximation [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 The formulas for light scattering amplitude and phase function [or element of scattering matrix f11] of hexagonal column with concave ends in the Rayleigh-Gans-Debye (RGD) approximation are derived.

Scattering from the weakly absorbing cylindrical capsule in the WKB approximation
Materials Science for Energy Technologies, 2023 In this work, the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation is used to determine the form factor of a particle having a refractive index close to the outer medium. The analytical expression of the light scattering amplitude by a cylinder with conical

Dynamics of two liquids in a non-uniformly rotating horizontal cylinder [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Controlling the shape of the interfacial boundary is an important technological task. The effect of rotation velocity modulation on the interface between light viscous and denser low viscosity fluid in a rotating horizontal cylinder is studied ...

Morality, Voluntary Laws, and State Neutrality
Laws, 2023 Kantian political philosophies stress that a state ought to be “neutral” (Rawls), “minimal” (Nozick), or “public” (Ripstein’s Kant), as part of its duty to respect its citizens’ freedom to pursue whatever ends these citizens find valuable.

ResSKNet-SSDP: Effective and Light End-To-End Architecture for Speaker Recognition
Sensors, 2023 In speaker recognition tasks, convolutional neural network (CNN)-based approaches have shown significant success. Modeling the long-term contexts and efficiently aggregating the information are two challenges in speaker recognition, and they have a critical impact on system performance. Previous research has addressed these issues by introducing deeper,
