Understanding crystallinity indexes benchmarking concept from optimized parametric ionic liquid pretreatment using 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Acetate [EMIM]Ac on oil palm biomass by Amizon Azizan, Rosmaria Abu Darim, Intan Suhada Azmi, Rafidah Jalil, Shareena Fairuz Abdul Manaf

“…The optimized pretreatment strategy indicated a moderate balance between ionic liquid concentration percentage and operating temperature on a solid loading per volume basis. With this optimization data route, the challenge of determining which highly efficient ionic liquid is costly during pretreatment on any biomass can be shortened by preliminary CrI value benchmarking.…”

Concentration and Potential Sources of Total Gaseous Mercury in a Concentrated Non-Ferrous Metals Smelting Area in Mengzi of China by Xinyu Han, Yuqi Xie, Haojie Su, Wei Du, Guixin Du, Shihan Deng, Jianwu Shi, Senlin Tian, Ping Ning, Feng Xiang, Haitao Xie

“…The daytime TGM concentration (2.8 ± 3.5 ng·m⁻³) was significantly higher than that in the nighttime (1.6 ± 1.1 ng·m⁻³), which may be attributed to the increased emissions of mercury from the high volume of vehicle activity during the day. To discuss the contributions of local sources and long-range transport, eight pollution events were identified based on the ratio of ΔTGM/ΔCO (Carbon Monoxide), which can be found that local sources are a key contributor to the major TGM pollution events. …”

Sex differences in cardiorespiratory control under hypoxia: the roles of oxygen desaturation and hypoxic exposure time by André Luiz Musmanno Branco Oliveira, Gabriel Dias Rodrigues, Gabriel Dias Rodrigues, Bruno Moreira Silva, Philippe de Azeredo Rohan, Pedro Paulo da Silva Soares

“…In contrast, only males responded with ventilatory responses during iso-time hypoxia, decreasing breathing frequency (interaction: p = 0.022) and increasing tidal volume (Vt) (interaction: p = 0.036). Otherwise, during iso-saturation (SpO2-matched ∼91%), heart rate and LF of R-R intervals increased more in females than in males (interaction: p = 0.049). …”

Relationship Between Vertical Facial Patterns and Palatal Morphology in Class I and Class II Malocclusion by Ilaria Tucci, Simone Sferra, Luca Giuliante, Andrea Scribante, Alice Mannocci, Cristina Grippaudo

“…In addition to this result, another statistical significance was detected in Class II malocclusion: the intermolar distance was greater in hypodivergent than in hyperdivergent patients. Similar volume values were noted across different malocclusions and vertical divergence groups. …”

The effectiveness of David procedure for aneurysm of the root and ascending part of the aorta by O.V. Zelenchuk, B.M. Todurov, I.O. Stetsiuk, V.B. Demyanchuk, D.O. Loskutov, N.O. Yashchenko, N.V. Ponych

“…In addition to the above indicator, significant results were found in the indicators: left ventricular end-diastolic size and left ventricular end-diastolic volume. Conclusions. The good immediate results of Bentall and David operations suggest that surgical repair of ascending and aortic root aneurysms using these operations can be equally safe when performed according to absolute anatomical indications and by an experienced surgical team. …”
