The aerodynamics of turbomachines for high–enthalpy gas heating by Karefyllidis, N

“…<p>Nearly 10% of the global energy demand is attributed to high-temperature industrial processes such as steel, cement, and petrochemicals production. More than 90% of this thermal energy originates directly from the combustion of fossil fuels, leading to a staggering 30% of the global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.…”

“Encouraged to be your true self”: an interpretative phenomenological study of medical students’ experiences of role models in shaping sexual minority identity at medical school... by Zacharias, A, Aitken, D

“…Unexpectedly, identity, power, and hierarchy-matching meant peer-to-peer role modelling was often experienced more positively than vertical faculty-tostudent role modelling. However, as expected, heteronormativity exerted an inhibitory effect on this process. …”

Inequality and the 1% by Dorling, D

Titania catalysts : crystal chemical insights and tailored functionalities by Lim, Suo Hon

“…Spectroscopic methods also provide valuable insights but may be surface sensitive, rather than representative of the bulk. This thesis describes the quantitative determination of titania phase assemblages, using X-ray, neutron and electron diffraction methods, for a range of catalysts of prescribed composition and architectures. …”

Enhancement of lentiviral vector production through alteration of virus-cell interactions by Gelinas, J

“…<p>Gene therapy is the introduction or alteration of genetic material with the intention to treat disease. To support this aim, viruses have been modified, with elements linked to viral pathogenicity removed from their genome and replaced by the genetic material to be delivered. …”

Mitofusins Mfn1 and Mfn2 are required to preserve glucose- but not incretin-stimulated β-cell connectivity and insulin secretion by Georgiadou, Eleni, Muralidharan, Charanya, Martinez, Michelle, Chabosseau, Pauline, Akalestou, Elina, Tomas, Alejandra, Yong, Fiona Su Wern, Stylianides, Theodoros, Wretlind, Asger, Legido-Quigley, Cristina, Jones, Ben, Lopez-Noriega, Livia, Xu, Yanwen, Gu, Guoqiang, Alsabeeh, Nour, Cruciani-Guglielmacci, Céline, Magnan, Christophe, Ibberson, Mark, Leclerc, Isabelle, Ali, Yusuf, Soleimanpour, Scott A., Linnemann, Amelia K., Rodriguez, Tristan A., Rutter, Guy A.

“…Whether mitofusin gene expression, and hence, mitochondrial network integrity, is important for glucose or incretin signaling has not previously been explored. Here, we generated mice with β-cell-selective, adult-restricted deletion knock-out (dKO) of the mitofusin genes Mfn1 and Mfn2 (βMfn1/2 dKO). βMfn1/2-dKO mice displayed elevated fed and fasted glycemia and a more than fivefold decrease in plasma insulin. …”

Electronic cigarette use and chest pain in US adults: evidence from the PATH study by Behrooz, Leili, Xie, Wubin, Goghari, Aboli, Robertson, Rosemarie, Bhatnagar, Aruni, Stokes, Andrew, Hamburg, Naomi M.

“…Conversely, exclusive e-cigarette users had similar odds of reporting chest pain compared to non-users (AOR=1.03; 95% CI: 0.69– 1.54) and lower odds than combustible and dual users. In sensitivity analyses, categorizing individuals based on their reported history of cardiovascular disease, overall findings were similar. …”

Adverse health events associated with antipsychotic use: an umbrella review by Chow, RTS

“…Within SGAs, olanzapine was associated with a higher risk of adverse outcomes than quetiapine and risperidone. In terms of patient variables, older adults aged over 65 and patients with dementia were more likely to experience antipsychotic-associated adverse outcomes than adults and patients with schizophrenia. …”
