We propose a new paradigm, as toxicology currently lacks the proper perspective. From the 1950s to the 1970s, at least one-third of all toxicological testing in the United States, including for chemicals and drugs, was misleading scientists, and this worldwide issue persists today. Moreover, petr ...

The Functionality Appreciation Scale (FAS) is increasingly used within diverse national and linguistic contexts, but assessments of its functioning across groups remains limited. To extend knowledge, we examined measurement invariance of the FAS across five Latin American nations (Argentina, Chil ...

Persistent oil contamination along coastlines can be treated by surface washing agents (SWAs), while low-temperature conditions can significantly impact the effectiveness of SWAs in oil removal. This study investigates the oil removal performance of a commercial SWA for oiled shoreline sand in cold-region environments. Batch oil removal tests were conduct ...

Aerobic exercise training promotes cardiovascular, brain and cognitive health. Regular exercise is associated with higher cardiorespiratory fitness, commonly assessed by peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) during maximal effort testing. Higher cardiorespiratory fitness has been linked to preserved brain ...

Mutations in the TANGO2 gene are associated with a severe neurometabolic disorder in humans, often presenting with life-threatening metabolic crisis. However, the function of TANGO2 protein remains unknown. It has recently been proposed that TANGO2 transports heme within and between cells, from a ...

Iron hydroxides play a key role in the preservation of organic matter in soils and sediments, yet the specificity and extent of their interactions with lignin-derived phenols-important source indicators for terrestrial organic matter-remain poorly understood in aquatic systems. In this study, we analyzed surface and downcore sediments along the terrestria ...

In this study, an innovative adaptive sliding mode fault-tolerant control approach is developed for an over-actuated vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with the capability to suppress overestimation of adaptive parameters. This method is designed to effectively address model uncertainties and actuator faults witho ...

Background: Common consequences of a stroke include impaired motor and cognitive function, with both being linked to increased falls and frailty. Intra-individual variability (IIV) of cognitive performance, which refers to the within-person trial-to-trial variation in reaction time during cognitive tasks, may be a useful predictor for falls in older adult ...

Cost-effectiveness guidelines recommend including productivity losses in economic evaluations conducted from a societal perspective. However, work productivity loss estimates, including absenteeism and presenteeism, are lacking for a general working population. This limits the ability of researchers and decision makers to comprehensively evaluate the incr ...
