A Mechanistic Study on the Non-genotoxic Carcinogenicity of the Food Contaminant Semicarbazide by Daniel P. Fitzpatrick

“…Semicarbazide was brought to the forefront of scientific discussions by the scientific community in the early 2000’s as the substance was discovered in several food products from both synthetic and natural sources. Although semicarbazide was processed through several toxicological assays and classified as a non-genotoxic carcinogen, underwhelming amounts of toxicological data exists for the compound. …”

Lateral Parametric Vibration of Footbridge under Pedestrian Excitation considering the Time-Delay Effect by Zhou Chen, Hongxin Lin, Deyuan Deng, Wanjie Xu, Hanwen Lu, Zepeng Chen

“…Research shows that: the model established in the paper is reliable; the closer the walking frequency is to two times of the natural frequency, the fewer number of pedestrians are required to excite large vibrations; when the number of pedestrians exceeds the critical number in consideration of nonlinear vibration, the vibration amplitude tends to be stable constant-amplitude vibration, and the amplitude of vibration response is unstable constant-amplitude vibration when only linear vibration is considered; the following factors have an impact on the response amplitude, including the number of pedestrians on footbridge per unit time, damping, initial conditions, and the number of pedestrians in synchronized adjustment. …”

Measuring pro-environmental behavioural determinants using closed-answer surveys by Hunter Doughty, Laura Thomas-Walters

“…There are many factors (i.e. determinants) that could influence whether an individual engages in pro-environmental behaviour, and understanding these determinants can improve efforts to protect and restore the natural environment. However, despite published criticism of poor survey design, there is little practical guidance on how to capture these determinants accurately in closed-answer surveys (those with predefined answer options). …”
