Purpose Testosterone (T) plays an important role in men’s health and its deficiency is linked with poorer health. However, the role of nutritional and lifestyle factors in T regulation and production remains unclear. The objectives are to comprehensively test the cross-sectional associations of nutritional and lifestyle factors with T deficiency an...
Paracetamol (acetaminophen, APAP) is the most frequently used analgesic drug worldwide. However, patients in several specific populations can have an increased exposure to toxic APAP metabolites. Therefore, APAP-protein adducts have been proposed as an alternative marker for the assessment of APAP intoxications and as an effective tool to study and...
Non-thermal plasmas operating at high pressure attract increasing attention for a variety of applications as an alternative to conventional chemical processes. In this study, an atmospheric pressure direct current non-self-sustained discharge in nitrogen is investigated as a source of non-thermal plasma capable of operating in a glow regime. The di...
Zearalenone-14-glucoside (ZEN-14G), a key modified mycotoxin, has attracted a great deal of attention due to the possible conversion to its free form of zearalenone (ZEN) exerting toxicity. In this study, the toxicokinetics of ZEN-14G were investigated in rats after oral and intravenous administration. The plasma concentrations of ZEN-14G and its m...
In this paper, we present Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) observations of a flux transfer event (FTE) characterized by a clear signature in the magnetic field magnitude, which shows maximum at the center flanked by two depressions, detected during a period of stable southward interplanetary magnetic field. This class of FTEs are called “crater‐FTEs...
A comet ionospheric model assuming the plasma to move radially outward with the same bulk speed as the neutral gas and not being subject to severe reduction through dissociative recombination has previously been tested in a series of case studies associated with the Rosetta mission at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. It has been found that at low a...
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer‐related deaths in the world. The most prevalent subtype, accounting for 85% of cases, is non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) and lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) are the most common subtypes. Despite recent advances in treatment, the low 5‐year survival rate of NSCLC patients ...
Membranes can be defined as physical barriers allowing the selective transport of species. This tutorial aims to provide the basics of membrane technologies and materials, the fundamentals of the atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique, and, most importantly, to describe how to efficiently perform ALD on different membrane substrates. Membrane devi...
Summary: As large-scale metabolic phenotyping studies become increasingly common, the need for systemic methods for pre-processing and quality control (QC) of analytical data prior to statistical analysis has become increasingly important, both within a study, and to allow meaningful inter-study comparisons. The nPYc-Toolbox provides software for t...
A uniform core-shell-structured W-coated Al powder was efficiently prepared by using fluidized bed chemical vapor deposition. The deposited W prevented the defluidization of Al powder and thereby enabled the controlled preparation of core-shell powder with different W-contents. Both the shell and activated sintering of the deposited nano-sized W pa...
