Associations of cord plasma per- and polyfluoroakyl substances (PFAS) with neonatal and child body composition and adiposity: The GUSTO study

Environment International
Background: The influence of prenatal exposure to per- and poly- fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on birth size and offspring adiposity is unclear, especially for the newer, shorter-chained replacement PFAS.

Unveiling PFAS hazard in European surface waters using an interpretable machine-learning model

Environment International
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as “forever chemicals”, are ubiquitous in surface waters and potentially threaten human health and ecosystems.

Potential functionals versus density functionals

, 2013
Potential functional approximations are an intriguing alternative to density functional approximations. The potential functional that is dual to the Lieb density functional is defined and properties given.

Recycling of paper, cardboard and its PFAS in Norway

Journal of Hazardous Materials Letters
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been used in paper products since the 1960s. PFAS emissions during the life cycle of these products have been substantial sources of these substances to the environment.

Cord plasma metabolomic signatures of prenatal per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) exposures in the Boston Birth Cohort

Environment International
Background: Prenatal per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) exposures are associated with adverse offspring health outcomes, yet the underlying pathological mechanisms are unclear.

Quantum finite automata: A modern introduction

, 2014
We present five examples where quantum finite automata (QFAs) outperform their classical counterparts. This may be useful as a relatively simple technique to introduce quantum computation concepts to computer scientists.

Computation with narrow CTCs

, 2011
We examine some variants of computation with closed timelike curves (CTCs), where various restrictions are imposed on the memory of the computer, and the information carrying capacity and range of the CTC. We give full characterizations of the classes of

Serum concentrations of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in Danish pregnant women—temporal trends during pregnancy, correlations with partners, associations with physical activity, and blood lipid concentrations

Environmental Health
Background Per- and polyflouralkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of persistent chemicals used extensively in industries and consumer products due to their water-repellent properties.
