Background Many clinicians release patients to return to activity after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) based on time from surgery despite deficits in muscle strength and function. It is unclear whether symmetry or unilateral performance is the best predictor of subjective outcomes after ACLR. Purpose To determine physical performance predictors of patient-reported outcomes a...

[1] We present an approach to infer ground-level nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations by applying local scaling factors from a global three-dimensional model (GEOS-Chem) to tropospheric NO2 columns retrieved from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) onboard the Aura satellite. Seasonal mean OMI surface NO2 derived from the standard tropospheric NO2 data product (Version 1.0.5, Collection 3) v...

Atmospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) can be dry/wet deposited into plant leaves mainly through stomata, with a small fraction of cuticle deposition. Plants in nature present a wide variation in NO2 assimilation and the resistance. The ability of leaf NO2 uptake and efficient remobilization of NO2-derived NO3/NO2 is important for normal plant growth and to withstand nitrogen deprivation. Moreover,...

adsorption of no2 molecule on pristine and n-doped tio2 anatase nanoparticles have been studied using the density functional theory (dft) technique. the structural properties (such as bond lengths and bond angles) and the electronic properties (such as density of states, band structures and atomic partial charges) have been computed for considered nanoparticles. the results show that, the adsor...

Background & Aims of the Study: As an air pollutant, NO2 reacts with ammonia, moisture and other compounds to form small particles. These small particles may cause or aggravate respiratory diseases and exacerbate existing heart diseases, leading to increased hospital admissions and premature death. In this study, the AirQ2.2.3 model was used to evaluate adverse health effects caused by NO2 ...

Shewanella loihica strain PV-4 harbors both a functional denitrification (NO3 (-)→N2) and a respiratory ammonification (NO3 (-)→NH4 (+)) pathway. Batch and chemostat experiments revealed that NO2 (-) affects pathway selection and the formation of reduced products. Strain PV-4 cells grown with NO2 (-) as the sole electron acceptor produced exclusively NH4 (+). With NO3 (-) as the electron accept...
