Theoretical finishing size limitation and failure mechanism of viscoelastic abrasive media on micro-hole structure by Baocai Zhang, Xiayu Wang, Neng Jiang, Jun Tang, Fanghong Sun, Xinchang Wang

“…However, as the primary requirement of media is the material removal, there must be a limitation size when the micro hole reducing to a critical value since the rigid grains should be added and must hold an apparent dimension. In present paper, the structures and rheology of media are systematically investigated to subsequently elaborate the finishing mechanism on micro-hole structures. …”

Room-Temperature Polyol Synthesis of Ag/SiO2 Nanocomposite as a Catalyst for 4-Nitrophenol Reduction by Canh Minh Thang Nguyen, Vinh Tien Nguyen

“…Compared to bare AgNP, the AgNP/SiO2 demonstrated higher catalytic activity toward 4-nitrophenol reduction by NaBH4. The highest apparent rate constant was approximately 1.1 ∗ 10−4 s−1, comparable with Ag/SiO2 catalysts prepared using other methods. …”

The Impact of Short-Term Supplementation With Guanidinoacetic Acid and Creatine Versus Creatine Alone on Body Composition Indices in Healthy Men and Women: Creatine-Guanidinoacetic... by Sonja Baltic, David Nedeljkovic, Nikola Todorovic, Laszlo Ratgeber, Jozsef Betlehem, Pongrac Acs, Valdemar Stajer, Sergej M. Ostojic

“…The main objective of this pilot study was to compare the effects of short-term supplementation with a mixture containing creatine and guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) versus creatine alone on body composition indices in men and women. Twenty-three apparently healthy young adults (mean age: 21.4 ± 0.6 years; 10 females) were randomly assigned to receive either a mixture (consisting of 2 g of creatine monohydrate and 2 g of GAA) or an equimolar amount of creatine monohydrate in a pretest–posttest control group experimental crossover design. …”

Digital Radiography for Determination of Primary Tooth Length: In Vivo and Ex Vivo Studies by Maria D. Basso, Fabiano Jeremias, Rita C. L. Cordeiro, Lourdes Santos-Pinto

“…Teeth were extracted, measured, and mounted in a resin block, and then radiographic template was used to standardise the sensor-target distance (30 cm). The apparent tooth length (APTL) was obtained from the computer screen by means of an electronic ruler accompanying the digital radiography software (CDR 2.0), whereas the actual tooth length (ACTL) was obtained by means of a digital calliper following extraction. …”

Inhibition of TNF-α and JNK Signaling Pathway Can Reduce Paclitaxel-Induced Apoptosis of Mouse Cardiomyocytes by Shuang Ren, Tianwen Huang, Danyan Ou, Luhuai Feng, Sisi Huang, Chaonan Zhou, Lianying Ge

“…Upon determining the levels of mouse myocardial creatine phosphokinase (CK), myokinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), aspartate transaminase (AST), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), we found that all of these levels showed apparent increases in mice treated with PTX. Further analyses of the TNF-α level and the expression of Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and Bcl-2 family-related proteins in myocardial tissue were performed. …”
