Carbon Black Particle Exhibits Size Dependent Toxicity in Human Monocytes by Devashri Sahu, G. M. Kannan, R. Vijayaraghavan

“…Some epidemiologic and toxicological researches suggest ultrafine particles (<100 nm) to be more harmful per unit mass than larger particles. In the present study, the effect of particle size (nano and micro) of carbon black (CB) particle on viability, phagocytosis, cytokine induction, and DNA damage in human monocytes, THP-1 cells, was analysed. …”

Pavement Manager at Risk in Construction of Hot Mix Asphalt by Hesham Ali, Mohamadtaqi Baqersad

“…This paper attempts to resolve this dilemma by introducing the role of Pavement Manager at Risk (PMAR), allowing a Pavement Manager to offer a long-term pavement preservation service to a client in return for a fixed per-mile premium. This allows the knowledgeable Pavement Manager, who would typically be a Pavement Engineer or a practitioner with extensive knowledge and experience, to implement effective pavement preservation techniques and share the economic benefit with the owner. …”

D-Serine Production, Degradation, and Transport in ALS: Critical Role of Methodology by John P. Crow, John C. Marecki, Misty Thompson

“…Because D-serine binding dramatically increases receptor affinity for glutamate, it can produce excitotoxicity without any change in glutamate per se. D-serine is twofold higher in the spinal cords of mSOD1 (G93A) ALS mice, and the deletion of serine racemase (SR), the enzyme that produces D-serine, results in an earlier onset of symptoms, but with a much slower rate of disease progression. …”
