Measurement Error in Exposure Assessment: An Error Model and its Impact on Studies on Lung Cancer and Residential Radon Exposure in Germany [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Case-control studies on lung cancer and residential radon exposure had been conducted in Germany. Relative risk estimates from primary analysis were now subject to accounting for uncertainties in radon exposure and in the most potent confounder smoking.

Broadband Directional Thermal Radiation with Asymmetric Femtosecond Laser‐Processed Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Femtosecond laser processing is used to scalably create self‐organized angled microstructures which exhibit highly directional emissivity that occurs for all polarizations. Laser parameters are tuned to alter the surface features, control the direction of emission, and enhance the directional emissivity. Electromagnetic modeling is performed to analyze

Non-linear relationship of cell hit and transformation probabilities in a low dose of inhaled radon progenies

open access: yes, 2009
Cellular hit probabilities of alpha particles emitted by inhaled radon progenies in sensitive bronchial epithelial cell nuclei were simulated at low exposure levels to obtain useful data for the rejection or support of the linear-non-threshold (LNT ...

Oral Bioinspired Peroxisome‐Engineered Probiotics for Modulating Gut Microbiota Homeostasis and Alleviating Cardiac Chemotherapy Toxicity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study developed an oral bioinspired peroxisome‐engineered probiotic (BPEP) by anchoring lipid‐encapsulated ruthenium nanozymes onto Escherichia coli Nissle 1917, utilizing probiotics to deliver nanozymes to the intestinal barrier for reactive oxygen species/reactive nitrogen species elimination, tight junction restoration, and gut microbiota ...
