Influence of variable intensity ultraviolet on the performance of SBS modified asphalt by Xiaobing Zhou, Dongdong Ge, Songtao Lv, Xiaochuan Wang, Yuanbo Li, Zihao Ju

“…On the contrary, the viscosity is more susceptible to thermo-oxidative aging, and the viscosity increment of RTFO is 39.3 % higher than that of UV-12 cycles. Based on DSR's test results, the rutting factor magnitude of RTFO was between 9 and 12 UV aging cycles The phase angle results indicate that thermo-oxidative aging is more likely to convert asphalt to elastomer than RTFO asphalt. …”

Where Do Our Children Go? Understanding the Impact of Institutionalization on Emotion Regulation, Attention, and Sleep by Sandra Figueiredo, Patrícia Silvestre

“…Conclusions: These findings suggest that prolonged institutionalization impairs socio-emotional development, with downstream effects on cognitive functioning, particularly attention. While differences in sleep routines between IC and NIC were observed, sleep did not appear to directly mediate the relationship between emotional regulation and attention, nor did it present a primary risk factor compared with the broader developmental challenges associated with institutional care.…”
