OBJECTIVES Anemia is a common complication of malignancy, which could result from either compromised erythropoiesis or decreased lifespan of circulating erythrocytes. Premature suicidal erythrocyte death, characterized by cell shrinkage and phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization, decreases erythrocyte lifespan and could thus cause anemia. Here, we explored whether accelerated eryptosis partici...

Protonic ceramic electrolysis cell (PCEC) is a promising technology for production of pure dry hydrogen due to the low operating temperature and high efficiency. One obstacles commercialization PCEC poor performance insufficient long-term durability oxygen electrode. In this study, we address above challenge by designing LaCoO3 (LC) catalyst infiltrated porous BaZr0.8Y0.2O3−δ (BZY20) backbone e...

Introduction: Iron metabolism was found to be implicated in several cancers. Few epidemiologic studies; focusing on iron intake and lung cancer (LC), reported positive associations between heme iron and red meat. Based on estimates of iron contents in representative foods, we conducted the present study with the aim of analyzing dietary iron and its role on the incidence of LC in Uruguayan men,...

Reverse osmosis (RO) concentrate from wastewater reuse facilities contains concentrated emerging pollutants, such as pharmaceuticals. In this research, a paper-like composite sheet consisting of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zeolite was synthesized, and removal of the antipruritic agent crotamiton from RO concentrate was studied using the TiO2/zeolite composite sheet. The RO concentrate was obtai...

In this letter, an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-aided secure wireless information and power transfer system is studied. To maximize the harvested of energy harvesting receiver (EHR), we optimize transmit beamforming at access point (AP) phase shifts IRS subject to secrecy rate (SR) constraints. Due non-convexity optimization problem coupled variables, convert into a semidefinite relaxat...

As one of the most important diffused brain modulatory systems, the nucleus locus coeruleus (LC) receives most of its afferents from the nucleus paragigantocellularis (PGi) and plays a major role in the control of drug dependence and some emotional and exciting states. For detailed investigation of the effect of morphine on relationship between these two brain stem nuclei, the activity of the r...

Abstract The property of maintaining the lens state liquid crystal (LC) during switching between positive and negative states is made use in fast acquirement multi-focus images without magnification change. A depth from focus (DFF) pipeline that can generate a low-error map an all-in-focus image proposed. scene then obtained via DFF captured images. sensor proposed this paper has advantages sim...
