Jetting behavior of polymer solutions in drop-on-demand inkjet printing [PDF]

, 2012
The jetting of dilute polymer solutions in drop-on-demand printing is investigated. A quantitative model is presented which predicts three different regimes of behaviour depending upon the jet Weissenberg number Wi and extensibility of the polymer ...

Impact of Environmental Exposure on Infant Sleep : The Exposome Approach

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
This review explores how exposure to environmental pollutants during the first 1000 days of life may affect infant sleep. Evidence suggests potential links between chemical exposures and sleep disturbances, underscoring the need for more research on early‐life vulnerability and the impact of pollutants in air, diet, and breast milk.

Perception of Dry Air: Links to the Indoor Environment and Respiratory and Allergic Symptoms Among Occupants

Atmosphere
Perceived dry air is a common complaint in indoor environments, yet its health associations and environmental factors related to this perception are unclear. We surveyed 7865 families and measured the indoor environment in 399 dwellings in Tianjin, China,

An Escherichia coli Phosphotransferase System Modulates Methylglyoxal Resistance by Regulating Intracellular Potassium

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Escherichia coli can survive methylglyoxal stress by modulating phosphorylation of a regulatory phosphotransferase system, which, in turn, regulates the activity of a potassium/proton antiporter. The constitutive potassium importer Trk also contributes to intracellular potassium levels.

In Vitro analysis of the effect of mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) exposure on macrophage inflammatory responses in relationship to Leydig cell steroid production

Frontiers in Toxicology
Macrophages, essential components of the innate immune system, are considered to be involved in the regulation of Leydig cell steroidogenesis, though by mechanisms that remain uncertain.

A Dual Cell‐Line Molecular Platform to Assess Sub‐Threshold Biocompatibility: Application to Processed Orthodontic Clears Aligners

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Traditional biocompatibility assessments primarily address cytotoxicity and bulk material properties but often overlook molecular responses that occur below toxicity thresholds. Detecting these subtle effects is crucial for materials intended for prolonged contact with human tissues.

Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals Exposure and Neurocognitive Function in the General Population: A Community-Based Study

Toxics
Background: Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are pervasive in everyday environments. The impacts of these chemicals, along with EDC-related lifestyle and dietary habits on neurocognitive function, are not well understood.

Virocell Necromass Provides Limited Plant Nitrogen and Elicits Rhizosphere Metabolites That Affect Phage Dynamics

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bacteriophages impact soil bacteria through lysis, altering the availability of organic carbon and plant nutrients. However, the magnitude of nutrient uptake by plants from lysed bacteria remains unknown, partly because this process is challenging to investigate in the field.
