Exposure to second-hand aerosol produced by electronic cigarettes: a systematic review

Tobacco Induced Diseases, 2018
Background Since 2007, the use of electronic cigarettes has grown rapidly around the world. This trend raises concerns about the potential exposure of bystanders to aerosols from electronic cigarettes, particularly considering that its use in public ...

Non-linear Reduced Round Attacks against SHA-2 Hash Family [PDF]

, 2008
Most of the attacks against (reduced) SHA-2 family in literature have used local collisions which are valid for linearized version of SHA-2 hash functions. Recently, at FSE '08, an attack against reduced round SHA-256 was presented by Nikolic and Biryukov which used a local collision which is valid for the actual SHA-256 function.

Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

Teacher–Student Relationship Quality as a Mediator in the Association of Parent–Child Communication With Adolescent Bullying Perpetration and Substance Use: Evidence From the 2017/2018 HBSC Study

Behavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bullying perpetration and substance use are two prevalent and concerning forms of delinquent behavior worldwide. Although parent–child communication has been theorized to reduce adolescents' involvement in these behaviors, empirical evidence remains mixed.

Vertically Aligned Ion Pathways for Fast Conduction and Uniform Lithium Deposition in Solid‐State Batteries

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Under an alternating electric field, the lithiated halloysite nanotubes (HNTs–SO₃Li) self‐assemble into a perpendicular orientation, creating continuous pathways with low tortuosity that markedly enhance room‐temperature ionic conductivity. The shortened diffusion path within this alignment enables rapid Li⁺ transport, while the establishment of a ...

β‐Scission of Tertiary Alcohols on a Platinum‐Loaded Titanium Dioxide Photocatalyst for C─C Bond‐Forming Reactions

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A strategy for the Pt/TiO2‐photocatalyzed β‐scission of nonactivated 3° alcohols in the absence of external oxidants and additives was developed. A wide variety of C‐centered radicals were generated and subsequently engaged in C─C bond‐forming reactions.

Thermal‐induced fracture evolution and acoustic signature of Beishan granite: Insights into tensile strength of barrier system for high‐level radioactive waste disposal

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The tensile strength of granite, a proposed host for nuclear waste, degrades severely above 400°C. We link this to specific microcracking patterns captured by acoustic emission, establishing a scientific basis for assessing repository safety under thermal load.
