Study on Microstructure Effect of Carbon Black Particles in Filled Rubber Composites by Li Hong Huang, Xiaoxiang Yang, Jianhong Gao

“…However, if the difference of particle size was small, for the case of same particle volume fraction, the particle size has little influence on the macromechanical properties whether the average size is large or small. (2) The correlation between the volume fraction and distribution of the carbon particles revealed that when the volume fraction of carbon black particles was larger than 12%, clusters between carbon particles in the polymer nanocomposites could not be avoided and the modulus of the composites increased with an increase in the cluster number.…”

Internet of things based visualisation of effect of air pollution on the lungs using HEPA filters air cleaner by Katushabe, Calorine, Santhi, Kumaran, Masabo, Emmanuel

“…The impact of air quality on human health and the environment is very significant, with poor air quality being responsible for numerous deaths and environmental damage worldwide. Whereas a number of studies have been done to monitor the quality of air with help of emerging technologies, little has been done to visualize its effect on health particularly on the lungs. …”

Addressing Shortcomings in Contingency Standards of Care by Alexander Quan

“…Given the empirical evidence demonstrating ER treatment and admission disparities that disadvantage Black and Hispanic patients, such a measure would only exacerbate these disparities by further limiting access to needed care.[20] Second, altered staffing ratios, which stretch a limited number of providers to meet patient needs during a staffing shortage, are another concerning yet common contingency measure. …”
