Sensual Environmental Robots: Entanglements of Speculative Realist Ideas with Design Theory and Practice by Santer Steven C.

“…The performative behaviours of these multi-sensorial robots evoke a sense of things by removing the truthiness of data and thereby emancipating language from privilege and expertise, subverting expectations of technology, and notions of urban Nature. Through Harman’s Quadruple Object, we speculate on asymmetricality within object relations, including between the devices and the practices of design itself. …”

Quality Changes of Orange Juice after DPCD Treatment by Liying Niu, Dajing Li, Chunquan Liu, Wuyang Huang, Xiaojun Liao

“…Here, freshly squeezed orange juice was treated with DPCD, and changes of physical properties and volatile components were investigated and compared with the original untreated and thermally treated samples. The correlations among physiochemical properties were also examined based on Pearson correlation, cluster analysis (CA), and principal component analysis (PCA). …”

Long-term maintenance treatment of psoriasis: the role of calcipotriol/betamethasone dipropionate aerosol foam in clinical practice by Gabriella Fabbrocini, Clara De Simone, Paolo Dapavo, Perigiorgio Malagoli, Alessandro Martella, Piergiacomo Calzavara-Pinton

“…In this case, the application of topical treatments in the first-line setting is recommended in most cases.Among different topical options, the fixed-dose combination of betamethasone dipropionate (BD) and vitamin D analogue (Cal) aerosol foam (Enstilar®, Leo Pharma) is approved as first-line topical therapy for the treatment of psoriasis in USA and the EU, due to its high efficacy and its favorable administration scheme.The PSO-LONG was the first trial to report on the long-term efficacy and safety of the Cal/DB foam treatment for the proactive management of psoriasis and now, the indications of Cal/BD foam included its use in the psoriasis maintenance treatment. …”
