Therapy of Inflammatory Bowel Disease using New 5-ASA Compounds: An Introduction by Ulrich Klotz

“…Since the active metabolite avoids the toxic potential of sulphapyridine, this perception has initiated new therapeutic approaches, for example, two 5-ASA molecules have been coupled to form another prodrug (olsalazine) which again depends on a proper cleavage of the azobond by bacteria in the colon A more direct way has been applied successfully by administering 5-ASA itself in special galenic formulation (suppositories, enemas, controlled release preparations) to provide enough active material at the proposed sites of action in the terminal ileum and/or colon. One major advantage of all 5-ASA compounds, compared to sulphasalazine, is their 10-fold lower potential (incidence) for inducing allergic reactions or causing intolerance. …”

Biological Processes that Prepare Mammalian Spermatozoa to Interact with an Egg and Fertilize It by Daulat R. P. Tulsiani, Aïda Abou-Haila

“…The net result is the fusion of the sperm plasma membrane and the underlying outer acrosomal membrane at multiple sites that causes the release of acrosomal contents at the site of sperm-egg adhesion. The hydrolytic action of the acrosomal enzymes released, along with the hyperactivated beat pattern of the bound spermatozoon, is important factor that directs the sperm to penetrate the egg coat and fertilize the egg. …”

“It’s not what I saw, it’s not what I thought”: by Lindsey Dodd

“…Norquay (1999) writes that forgetting is “an active process which can involve denial, refusal, discrediting, silencing, omitting”; this article shows the generative power of feeling forgotten, denied, refused, discredited, silenced or omitted, to inspire action which challenges hegemonic discourse. Central to its argument is a call to attend to what feelings do within societies. …”

The potential for justice through tourism by Freya Higgins-Desbiolles

“…Efforts to make tourism more responsible, ethical and just have been critiqued, both from a neoliberal perspective that tourism is not a site for moralisation and from a critical race positioning that many forms of justice tourism might not attain their goals of solidarity and emancipation.Looking forward, this analysis suggests that it is imperative that future research and action addresses the larger structural issues of justice and that the critical tourism studies movement is potentially a promising vehicle for this work. …”

Dynamic Response Law of Nonpersistent Jointed Rock Mass Under Normal Impact Load by Xianshi Deng, Yan Chang, Rong Hu, Heng Deng, Duofang Lu

“…When the impact height is 2000 mm, the energy dissipation first increases and then decreases. Under the action of cyclic impact, the crack propagation path of jointed rock mass specimens is that the cracks originate at the loading place and develop to the joint surface and then spread to the weak joint end to form 90° wing cracks. …”

The Permeable Character of CSG Dams and Their Seepage Fields by Xin Zhao, Yunlong He

“…The permeability coefficient of CSG exhibits a “self-healing” phenomenon similar to concrete, with the seepage characteristics of a dam tending to become stable over time. Under the long-term action of water pressure, the seepage behavior of the dam body shows no obvious deterioration, suggesting that CSG can satisfy the required anticorrosion property expected of dam construction materials. …”
