Exogenous selenium enhances cadmium stress tolerance by improving physiological characteristics of Artemisia argyi seedlings by Yaxin Yu, Yingbin Yang, Yu Guo, Meiqi Pan, Wenfang Hao

“…Regardless of Cd levels, exogenous Se significantly enhanced seedling biomass, improved antioxidant enzyme activity, and increased the plant’s antioxidant capacity, thereby mitigating Cd stress. Additionally, exogenous Se promoted A. argyi plant growth, decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) content in the shoots, and under two Cd stress environments of 0.6 and 4 mg kg⁻1, the application of 1 mg kg⁻1 Se reduced the Cd content in the aboveground parts of seedlings by 31.99 and 82.21%, respectively. …”

Respirable Particles and Gas Contaminants Emissions from a Desktop Laser Cutter and Engraver by Kevin O’Neill, Xinyi Niu, Jun Wang, Runcheng Fang

“…Materials with higher carbon content, such as wood and cardboard, generated higher levels of VOCs and CO, compared to plastic (high VOC but no CO emissions) and glass (no VOC nor CO emission). Additionally, implementing ventilation control during laser cutting or engraving processes is highly recommended, as it effectively reduces the emissions of respirable particles and completely removes gaseous contaminants.…”

Compressive Loads on the Lumbar Spine During Lifting: 4D WATBAK versus Inverse Dynamics Calculations by M. H. Cole, P. N. Grimshaw

“…This study suggested that, for research purposes, a validated three-dimensional dynamic model should be employed when a task becomes complex and when a more accurate indication of spinal compression or shear force is required. Additionally, although it is clear that 4D WATBAK is particularly suited to industrial applications, it is suggested that the limitations of such modelling tools be carefully considered when task-risk and employee safety are concerned.…”
