Smoke and mirrors: Magnified beliefs that cigarette smoking suppresses weight [PDF]

open access: yesAddictive Behaviors, 2007
Research suggests that for some smokers, weight concerns interfere with smoking cessation. Studies with individuals with eating disorders and weight concerns have indicated that weight-concerned individuals place undue faith in the effectiveness of certain weight control strategies; i.e., adopt a brand of magical thinking pertaining to food rules and ...

A Liquid Phosphaphenanthrene-Derived Imidazole for Improved Flame Retardancy and Smoke Suppression of Epoxy Resin

open access: yes, 2020
The fabrication of high-performance thermosetting polymers with intrinsic flame retardancy and smoke suppression is necessary but challenging. Herein, we have successfully synthesized a liquid phosphaphenanthrene/imidazole-containing curing agent (DOPO ...

On smoke suppression of clouds in Amazonia [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2005
We use large eddy simulations of smoke‐cloud interactions to demonstrate the relative importance of various factors responsible for cloud suppression in the biomass burning regions of Amazonia. The model includes unprecedented treatment of coupled smoke aerosol‐cloud‐radiative feedbacks in a 3‐dimensional model that resolves scales of ∼100s m.

Diathermy smoke: hazardous to health? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The heat used in electrocautery causes cells to boil and explode, or simply dry up, producing a gaseous by-product known as diathermy smoke. This smoke may have mutagenic and carcinogenic potential, similar to that of cigarette smoke (Spearman et al ...

Phenylboronic acid-decorated ZrP nanosheets for enhancing fire resistance, smoke suppression, and water/acid/alkali tolerance of intumescent coatings

open access: yes, 2022
To enhance the integrated properties of intumescent fire-resistant coatings (IFRCs) for structural steel, multifunctional phenylboronic acid-decorated zirconium phosphate (ZrP-M) nanosheets were fabricated in this work.

Cigarette smoke and human pulmonary immune responses to mycobacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Recent epidemiological evidence suggests that up to 15% of worldwide tuberculosis (TB) cases may be attributable to tobacco smoking. The aim of the studies reported here was to gain insights into the effects of exposure to cigarette smoke on human cells ...
