The double pandemic: Examining cultural stress among Asian Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objectives: To investigate patterns of cultural stress (racial discrimination and COVID stress) and their impact on ethnic identity and civic engagement among Asian American college students.

Method: 491 undergraduate students who self-identify as Asian American (female = 63.50%; = 20.

An intersectional examination of the impact of COVID-stress and discrimination on college students' resilience and mental health.

To investigate the impact of COVID-stress and discrimination on mental health among a group of diverse college students using an intersectional framework. One thousand six hundred seventy-one undergraduate students ( = 20.42,  = 2.

Bicarbonate transport of airway surface epithelia in luminally perfused mice bronchioles.

HCO secretion in distal airways is critical for airway mucosal defense. HCO/H transport across the apical membrane of airway surface epithelial cells was studied by measuring intracellular pH in luminally microperfused freshly dissected mice bronchioles. Functional studies demonstrated that CFTR, ENaC, Cl-HCO exchange, Na-H exchange, and Na-HCO cotransport are involved in apical HCO/H transport.

Thermodynamics and kinetics analyses of high CO absorption properties of LiNaSiO under various CO partial pressures.

The properties of Li3NaSiO4 as a CO2 absorbent were evaluated by thermogravimetry (TG) and X-ray diffraction, which revealed that the CO2 absorption and desorption reaction, Li3NaSiO4 + CO2 ↔ LiNaCO3 + Li2SiO3, is reversible. In scanning-type TG under various CO2 partial pressures (P(CO2)), mass gain ascribed to CO2 absorption started from approximately 400 °C, irrespective of P(CO2). CO2 desorption was observed at a higher temperature, which was considered the approximate equilibrium temperature of the above-mentioned reaction.
