Aesthetic and Mechanical Suitability of a Clear Synthetic Resin as a Unconventional Binder for Road Pavements by Marco Pasetto, Andrea Baliello, Giovanni Giacomello, Emiliano Pasquini

“…Slightly increased aptitude to rutting at the higher temperatures was detected, even if it is worth noting that clear in-service mixtures would achieve lower temperatures than traditional “black” materials at a given environmental condition (air temperature, solar radiation, etc.). The resin also exhibited a softer behaviour, along with an enhanced fatigue resistance. …”

Squamous Cell Carcinoma Developing in a Cutaneous Lichen Planus Lesion: A Rare Case by Saptarshi Ghosh, Sivasankar Kotne, P. B. Ananda Rao, S. P. V. Turlapati, Dillip Kumar Soren

“…In view of underlying structure involvement, adjuvant radiation therapy was given. This case is being reported to emphasize the infrequent possibility of development of malignancy in cutaneous lichen planus, especially if it presents as a longstanding, nonhealing, itchy lesion with patchy areas of depigmentation in the lower limbs.…”

Exploring Tension Fabric Structure and Material- A Review of The Bigo Arena and Denver International Airport by Merve Sumeyye Taha, Abdulmajeed Mamhusseini Asmaa, Shino Abdullah

“…While PTFE-coated glass fiber material is preferred in the construction of lightweight structures, it also provides the opportunity to capture solar radiation. Through the projects examined in this research, it is emphasized that fiberglass material coated with PTFE is an example of how interior spaces can be more useful by creating both aesthetic and well-lit spaces. …”

Free radicals and their impact on health and antioxidant defenses: a review by Nisansala Chandimali, Seon Gyeong Bak, Eun Hyun Park, Hyung-Jin Lim, Yeong-Seon Won, Eun-Kyung Kim, Sang-Ik Park, Seung Jae Lee

“…These molecules can be generated through various endogenous processes, such as mitochondrial respiration and immune cell activation, as well as exogenous sources, including radiation, pollution, and smoking. While free radicals are essential for certain physiological processes, such as cell signaling and immune defense, their overproduction can disrupt the delicate balance between oxidants and antioxidants, leading to oxidative stress. …”

Maximising informativeness for target capture-based phylogenomics in Erica (Ericaceae) by Seth D. Musker, Nicolai M. Nürk, Michael D. Pirie

“…However, the highly conserved loci that they target may lack informativeness for difficult phylogenetic problems, such as that presented by the rapid radiation of Erica in southern Africa. We designed a target set for Erica phylogenomics intended to maximise informativeness and minimise paralogy while maintaining universality by including genes from the widely used Angiosperms353 set. …”
