Assessing species interactions using integrated predator-prey models by Paquet, Matthieu, Barraquand, Frédéric

“…However, there is no evaluation of such models when interactions are actually absent---while any interaction inference method runs the risk of producing false positives. We investigate here whether multispecies IPMs could output interactions where there are in fact none, building on an existing predator-prey IPM. …”

Effect of binary basicity on chromium occurrence in stainless steel slag by Zeng Q., Li J.-L., Ma G.-J., Zhu H.-Y.

“…Comprehensive utilization of stainless-steel slag (SSS) is restrained due to the risk of Cr6+ leaching. Based on the studying the microstructure of synthetic slag (SS) containing Cr2O3 with XRD, SEM-EDS, and Image pro, the effect of binary basicity on the chromium occurrence in SSS was investigated. …”

Numerical study on the effects of obstacle shape and thickness on deflagration-to-detonation transition in hydrogen–air mixtures with a transverse concentration gradient by Mohammad Hossein Shamsaddin Saeid, Chang Bo Oh, Chi Young Lee

“…This control is achieved because the round shape is less favorable for flame stretching or convolution, producing smaller recirculation zones. Semicircular obstacles lead to smoother flame interactions, generating less intense vortices and resulting in slower flame propagation and delayed DDT, thereby lowering the risk of detonation occurring and reducing potential economic losses. …”

SELENOF gene as a quintessential target in oral squamous cell carcinoma by Ramya Ramadoss, Monal Yuwanati, Abigail Viola E, Pradeepkumar Yadalam, Pratibha Ramani, Sindhu Ramesh

“…Discussion: Mutation or altered SELENOF gene expression eventually leads to the oxidative damage to DNA due to alteration in anti-oxidative mechanism of selenoproteins and potentially increase risk of cancer development. Selenium substantially suppressed cell proliferation of cancerous cells in vitro and they could effectively produce oxidative stress and trigger apoptosis in oral cancer cells, hence inhibiting the oral cancer to some extent. …”
