The Paris Agreement’s temperature goals require global CO2 emissions to halve by 2030 and reach net zero 2050. capture utilization (CCU) technologies are considered promising achieve the goals. This paper investigates which CCU technologies—using atmospheric, biogenic, or fossil CO2—are compatible, based on life cycle technological maturity criteria. We systematically gathered harmonized techno...

Introduction Pavement texture is defined by the irregularities on a pavement surface that deviate from an ideal, perfectly flat surface. As shown in Figure 1, the World Road Association (PIARC) has established standard categories of texture, classified by wavelength. These categories include microtexture (wavelengths up to 0.5 mm), macrotexture (0.5 to 50 mm), megatexture (50 to 500 mm), and ro...

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a powerful tool for achieving sustainability. Traditional LCAs analyze well defined and developed industrial systems, but recent developments of LCA focus on analyzing emerging technologies which are not yet optimized with respect to energy materials. Therefore, results ex-ante applications can be very different from ex-post the same system. The purpose this study...

BACKGROUND The microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is involved in hepatic and intestinal apoB secretion. We studied the effect of the functional MTP-493G/T polymorphism on fasting and postprandial lipoproteins in patients with familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH) before and after treatment with atorvastatin. METHODS Eight FCH heterozygote carriers of the rare -493T allele were co...

Patients with type 2 diabetes have high levels of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs), including apolipoprotein B-48 (apoB-48)-containing TRLs of intestinal origin, but the mechanism leading to overaccumulation of these lipoproteins remains to be fully elucidated. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the in vivo kinetics of TRL apoB-48 and VLDL, intermediate density lipoprote...

tech-noir cinema emerged as the combination of noir film and science-fiction genre in 1980s. noir film, which was one of the main currents of american cinema in 1940s, was influenced by detective fiction of american literature and expressionist cinema of germany in plot and form respectively. in 1970s and 1980s, because of artistic and social currents, there was a ground to return to noir; so n...
