A Modified Method for Studying Behavioral Paradox of Antioxidants and Their Disproportionate Competitive Kinetic Effect to Scavenge the Peroxyl Radical Formation by Nusrat Masood, Kaneez Fatima, Suaib Luqman

“…We have described a modified method for evaluating inhibitor of peroxyl radicals, a well-recognized and -documented radical involved in cancer initiation and promotion as well as diseases related to oxidative stress and ageing. We are reporting hydrophilic and lipophilic as well as natural and synthetic forms of antioxidants revealing a diversified behaviour to peroxyl radical in a dose-dependent manner (1 nM–10 μM). …”

Recognition of Reconstructed Frontal Face Images Using FFT-PCA/SVD Algorithm by Louis Asiedu, Felix O. Mettle, Joseph A. Mensah

“…In spite of these achievements, the performance of current face recognition algorithms/modules is still inhibited by varying environmental constraints such as occlusions, expressions, varying poses, illumination, and ageing. This study assessed the performance of Principal Component Analysis with singular value decomposition using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT-PCA/SVD) for preprocessing the face recognition algorithm on left and right reconstructed face images. …”

Mechanical behavior of synthetic fiber ropes for mooring floating offshore wind turbines. by Ji Zeng, He Zhang, Bowen Jin, Hailei Dong, Chiate Chou, Hangyu Li

“…To study the tensile properties and static stiffness characteristics of polyester and nylon ropes, the cables were divided into three stages: preloading, initial installation, and ageing. The strain and reversible elongation of the cables at each stage were analysed, and an empirical formula for quasi-static stiffness considering the creep coefficient of the ropes was established. …”

La vie des Gommes : pour une approche biographique des pneus de Carol Rama by Carolina Spovieri

“…By stripping it of its status as an unusable commodity, the creative gesture gives the waste a kind of new memory, like a second life that makes it autonomous. Similarly, the ageing process of the tyre, which features prominently in the series, could ironically point to the short life of the objects of the bourgeois society from which Rama came, and simultaneously indicate the obsolescence of the medium itself, as the object replaces paint. …”
