Solanum Procumbens-Derived Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Suppress Lung Cancer In Vitro through Elevation of ROS by Ibrahim Ibrahim Abdel Aziz, Almaimani A. Riyad, Almasmoum A. Hussian, Ghaith M. Mazen, Moorthy Kannaiyan

“…Furthermore, reactive oxygen species (ROS) were examined and it was shown that the nanoparticles elevated ROS levels, which led to lipid peroxidation. In short, the SP-ZnONPs increase the level of ROS, which in turn causes lipid peroxidation results in apoptosis. …”

Machine Learning Models for Spring Discharge Forecasting by Francesco Granata, Michele Saroli, Giovanni de Marinis, Rudy Gargano

“…The machine learning models have proven to be able to provide very encouraging results. M5P provides good short-term predictions of monthly average flow rates (e.g., in predicting average discharge of the spring after 1 month, R2=0.991, RAE=14.97%, if a 4-month input is considered), while RF is able to provide accurate medium-term forecasts (e.g., in forecasting average discharge of the spring after 3 months, R2=0.964, RAE=43.12%, if a 4-month input is considered). …”

Prise en otage des victimes et usages publics de l’histoire : le cas de la Résistance italienne by Stéfanie Prezioso

“…The contemporary reading of the war of resistance, analysed in terms of and in the name of the violence that it engendered, reinforces discourse on this supposed equivalence. In short, in the name of a presumed indistinctness of the victims – all sacrificed on the altar of deadly ideologies (fascist ideology as much as communist ideology) – current analyses of the Italian resistance evade fundamental problems linked to the role of violence in history. …”
