Assessment of Landfill Odorous Gas Effect on Surrounding Environment by Si-liang Shen, Bin-hai Wu, Hui Xu, Zhen-ying Zhang

“…The emission of H2S varied between 0.125 kg/h and 1.09 kg/h on the working area, and it varied between 9.2 × 10−6 kg/h and 6.8 × 10−4 kg/h on the temporary cover when considering the impact of the holes in a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) membrane, and it was negligible on the final cover. The contribution rates of H2S emission in the whole landfill were 90.79%∼98.59% and 0.0008%∼0.52% for the working area and the temporary cover area, respectively. …”

Investigations on Quasi-Steady Characteristics for an Airfoil Oscillating at Low Reduced Frequencies by Deepakkumar M. Sharma, Kamal Poddar

“…Re effect is dominant at steady and quasi-steady regimes while the effect of reduced frequency is negligible in this domain. Minor hysteresis effect associated with the stalling and reattachment point is due to existence of weak stall flutter which is further restrained by the oscillatory motion of the airfoil. …”

The Effect of CaCl₂ on the Gelling Properties of Pea Protein–Pectin Dispersions by Dan Zhang, Da Chen, Osvaldo H. Campanella

“…Hydrogen bonding and electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions contributed to gel formation and stability in both PreCa and PostCa gels, whereas disulfide bonds had negligible effects. This study highlights the role of CaCl₂ in modulating pea protein–pectin gels’ properties and microstructures for the development of gel-like foods with diverse textures and mouthfeels.…”

Comparative evaluation of multimarker algorithms for early-stage HCC detection in multicenter prospective studies by Jinlin Hou, Thomas Berg, Arndt Vogel, Teerha Piratvisuth, Jörg Trojan, Enrico N. De Toni, Masatoshi Kudo, Katarina Malinowsky, Peter Findeisen, Johannes Kolja Hegel, Wenzel Schöning, Kairat Madin, Konstantin Kroeniger, Henry Lik-Yuen Chan, Ashish Sharma

“…Conclusions: GAAD (Cobas) demonstrated good clinical performance, similar to GALAD (Cobas and μTASWAKO) algorithms, in differentiating HCC and CLD controls, across all disease stages, etiologies, and regions; therefore, AFP-L3 may have a negligible role in GALAD for HCC surveillance. Impact and implications: To improve the detection of early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from benign chronic liver disease (CLD), algorithms combining demographic characteristics and serum biomarkers, such as GAAD and GALAD, have been developed. …”
