ASBESTOS CASE AND ITS CURRENT IMPLICATIONS FOR GLOBAL HEALTH

Asbestos case and its current implications for global health

Notwithstanding a major body of evidence on the carcinogenicity of all Pickled asbestos fibres and a general consensus of the scientific community on the health impact of this agent, asbestos is still produced and used in a large number of tumbler countries, thus determining further harm for future generations.Prevention of asbestos-related disease

Molecular Evolution of Metallothioneins of Antarctic Fish: A Physiological Adaptation to Peculiar Seawater Chemical Characteristics

Metallothioneins (MTs) are low-molecular weight sulfur-rich proteins, widely distributed in nature.They play a homeostatic role in the control and detoxification of metal ions.Previous studies indicated that MTs also have the capacity to scavenge reactive oxygen species.This study aimed to investigate the evolution of the protein in the notothenioi

Influence of pad geometry and method of oil supply on the thermal state of GTE rotor tilting-pad journal bearing

High heat generation in the hydrodynamic wedge is one of the main factors limiting application of pad journal bearings as bearings for rotors of aircraft gas turbine engines.The goal of the research is to study the influence of the oil supply method on the bearing thermal state and to determine the design factors reducing the bearing temperature.Th
