De l’or noir à l’or vert : le gaz de mine, une ressource de transition dans le Nord-Pas-de-Calais ? by Antoine Fontaine, Laurence Rocher

“…The emissions of this gas, which do not stop when mining activities cease, generate risks of explosion and significant atmospheric pollution. In the Nord-Pas-de-Calais coalfield, mine gas, an emblematic legacy of the coal mining past, is now seen as an energy resource and a vector for the renewal of the region. …”

Emerging strategies for nitric oxide production and their topical application as nanodressings to promote diabetic wound healing by Dan Xia, Ying Guo, Ruodan Xu, Ning Li

“…While both endogenous and exogenous NO have been shown to promote the healing process of diabetic wounds, the direct application of NO in wound management is limited due to its gaseous nature and the risk of explosive release. This review summarizes recent advances of nanodressings incorporating NO donors in the treatment of diabetic wounds, detailing the specific conditions under which these nanodressings facilitate NO release, with a focus on the beneficial effects of NO, strategies for its supplementation, and the challenges encountered in the clinical translation of NO donors as a clinically viable nanomedicine in the context of improving diabetic wound healing. …”

Modelling the Diffusion of Investment Decisions on Modular Social Networks by Xiaokang Cheng, Narisa Zhao

“…The results show that both modularity and the clustering coefficient have an impact on the diffusion velocity and scale and that the impact is most evident at the stage of explosive growth. The negative influence of a large modularity can be hardly mitigated by adjusting other factors. …”
