Ozone oxidative preconditioning: a protection against cellular damage by free radicals by O. S. León, S. Menéndez, N. Merino, R. Castillo, S. Sam, L. Pérez, E. Cruz, V. Bocci

“…Interestingly, in spite of CCl4 adminis tration, group 3 did not differ from group 1, while groups 2 and 4 showed significant differences from groups 1 and 3 and displayed hepatic damage . To our knowledge these are the first experimental results showing that repeated administration of ozone in atoxic doses is able to induce an adaptation to oxidative stress thus enabling the animals to maintain hepatocellular integrity after CCl4 poisoning.…”

Study on Evaluation Theory of Bridge Damage State and Methodology on Early Warning of Danger by Guofu Jiang, Qianxue Liang, Hua Wang, Yucai Ju, Haihua Wang, Xirui Wang, Longlin Wang, Wensheng Wang

“…When evaluating and prewarning the damage state of bridges, the observation equation and state equation of bridge systems are not constructed in the existing methods, which would cause the evaluation results to be inconsistent with the actual damage state of bridges. …”

Weight Loss and Melatonin Reduce Obesity-Induced Oxidative Damage in Rat Testis by Dogan Atilgan, Bekir S. Parlaktas, Nihat Uluocak, Fikret Erdemir, Sahin Kilic, Unal Erkorkmaz, Huseyin Ozyurt, Fatma Markoc

“…We aimed to evaluate the antioxidant effects of weight loss and melatonin on the obesity-induced oxidative damage in rat testes. Materials and Methods. 28 male Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, each consisting of 7 rats: control group (Group 1), obesity group (Group 2), obesity + MLT group (Group 3), and weight loss group (Group 4). …”

Spatiotemporal Distribution and Damage Trends of Pseudotheraptus devastans (Dist.) on Theobroma cacao in Ghana by Godfred Kweku Awudzi, Silas Wintuma Avicor, Richard Adu-Acheampong

“…No significant relationship was observed between P. devastans numbers sampled to hand-height and their associated damage pods. This suggests that damage can occur regardless of the quantity of pests. …”

Mechanical Performance versus Corrosion Damage Indicators for Corroded Steel Reinforcing Bars by Silvia Caprili, Jörg Moersch, Walter Salvatore

“…Experimental data were statistically analyzed adopting ANOVA technique; Performance Indicators (PIs), describing the mechanical performance characteristics of reinforcements, and Corrosion Damage Indicators (CDIs), describing the detrimental effects of corrosion phenomena, were determined and correlated in order to evaluate the influence of corrosion on the behaviour of reinforcing steels, providing useful information for designers in addition to what is presented in current standards.…”

Study on Dynamic Behavior and Energy Dissipation of Rock considering Initial Damage Effect by Aihong Lu, Jinhai Xu, Yu Xia, Lei Sun

“…To explore the influence of initial damage on the dynamic characteristics of rock mass, the Φ 50 mm split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test system was used, and the uniaxial impact compression tests on yellow sandstone specimens with different damage degrees were conducted, and then the variation law of mechanical properties of rock specimens with the initial damage was determined. …”

Extensive off-fault damage around the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake surface ruptures by Jihong Liu, Sigurjón Jónsson, Xing Li, Wenqian Yao, Yann Klinger

“…However, measurements of such offsets generally underestimate fault slip due to inelastic deformation and secondary fault offsets, i.e., off-fault damage. Here, we use satellite synthetic aperture radar images to quantify off-fault damage in the two 2023 Kahramanmaraş (Türkiye) magnitude 7.8 and 7.6 earthquakes. …”
