Background: Contact hypersensitivity quantitative risk assessment (QRA) for fragrance ingredients is being used to establish new international standards for all fragrance ingredients that are potential skin sensitizers. Objective: The objective was to evaluate the retrospective clinical data on three fragrance ingredients in order to provide a practical assessment of the predictive value of the QR

Among the numerous point vapor sources, microsecond-pulsed spark ablation at atmospheric pressure is a versatile and environmentally friendly method for producing ultrapure inorganic nanoparticles ranging from singlets having sizes smaller than 1 nm to larger agglomerated structures. Due to its fast quenching and extremely high supersaturation, coagulational growth already begins at the atomic sca

The effects of dyslipidemia on the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and related traits are not clear. We used regression models and 140 lipid-associated genetic variants to estimate associations between circulating HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides, and T2D and related traits. Each genetic test was corrected for effects of variants on the other two lipid types and surrogates of adipo

Reviews the book, Essentials of Clinical Hypnosis: An Evidence-Based Approach by Steven Jay Lynn and Irving Kirsch (see record 2005-13464-000). Steven Jay Lynn and Irving Kirsch are two of the most prolific and best-regarded hypnosis researchers in the world, besides working as clinicians, so they can discuss authoritatively both the empirical support for different hypnotic interventions and provi

This report was developed as course literature for a masters program at the IIIEE. It contains an overview over the state of the art of environmental accounting as it stood in 1996. Methods such as Total Cost Assessment, Full Cost Accounting and Life Cycle Analysis/Assessment/Costing are discussed, as well as environmental disclosure in annual reports.

The article presents a newly developed model for the description and classification of machinability, based on comparison with a reference material. The model illustrates critical machinability properties in a polar diagram with 5 axes and poles. Each axis represents a behaviour or property, i.e. abrasiveness or hardness. The total machinability profile of a work material can

Age of Information (AoI) is a relatively new metric introduced to capture the freshness of a particular piece of information. While throughput and delay measurements are widely studied in the context of dense IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs (WLANs) little is known in the literature about the AoI in this context. In this work we study the effects on the average AoI and its variance when a sensor node is
