Cationic surfactants: a review by Gonçalves, Rui A., Holmberg, Krister, Lindman, Björn

“…The versatile properties of single- and double-chain cationic surfactants and other special cationics such as gemini, catanionic, bolaform, amino acid- and sugar-based surfactants, are presented and discussed together with skin toxicity and environmental considerations. The effects of cationic surfactant mixing with other surfactants, polymers, proteins, and DNA are also shown and examined. …”

Turing pattern formation in reaction-cross-diffusion systems with a bilayer geometry by Diaz, A, Krause, A, Maini, PK, Gaffney, E, Seirin-Lee, S

“…Nonetheless, the impact of tissue stratification in such systems is under-explored, despite its ubiquity in the context of a thin epithelium overlying connective tissue, for instance the epidermis and underlying dermal mesenchyme of embryonic skin. In particular, each layer can be subject to extensively different biochemical reactions and transport processes, with chemotaxis - a special case of cross-diffusion - often present in the mesenchyme, contrasting the solely molecular transport typically found in the epidermal layer. …”

Clinical, Ethical, and Legal Considerations Raised by Self-Reported Genital Mutilation Following Voluntary Cosmetic Labiaplasty by Metaxas, T, Earp, BD, Bader, D, Ghasemi, S, Solari, M, Abdulcadir, J

“…Genital modifications experienced as harmful, or that are performed without informed consent, should be studied in relationship to one another and evaluated with consistent principles, regardless of the skin color of the individuals concerned, their cultural, ethnic, or religious background, or the name given to the genital modification they underwent.…”

Interventions for managing skeletal muscle spasticity following traumatic brain injury by Synnot, Anneliese, Chau, Marisa, Pitt, Veronica, O'Connor, Denise, Gruen, Russell Lindsay, Wasiak, Jason, Clavisi, Ornella, Pattuwage, Loyal, Phillips, Kate

“…Background: Skeletal muscle spasticity is a major physical complication resulting from traumatic brain injury (TBI), which can lead to muscle contracture, joint stiffness, reduced range of movement, broken skin and pain. Treatments for spasticity include a range of pharmacological and non‐pharmacological interventions, often used in combination. …”

Local-flexural interactive buckling of S690 high strength steel slender welded I-section columns: testing, modelling and design by Sun, Yao, Liang, Yating, Su, Andi, Zhao, Ou

“…A testing programme, adopting two S690 high strength steel slender welded I-sections, was firstly conducted and included initial geometric imperfection measurements and ten pin-ended column tests. The testing programme was accompanied by a numerical modelling programme, where finite element models were developed and validated against the test results and then employed to perform parametric studies to generate further numerical data over a wide range of cross-section dimensions and member effective lengths. …”
