Article Synopsis
  • Corrosion is a common and costly problem for metallic structures, especially in saline environments like seawater, raising safety issues.
  • Green corrosion inhibitors, which are eco-friendly and biodegradable, show promise as alternatives to traditional inhibitors but face challenges in salty conditions.
  • This review covers key aspects of corrosion inhibitors, the mechanisms behind corrosion and inhibition in NaCl, characterization techniques, theoretical models, and guidelines for selecting corrosion inhibitors to enhance research in this field.

Objective: Online communities promote social connection and can be used for formal peer support and crisis intervention. Although some communities have programs to support their members' mental health, few programs have been formally evaluated. The authors present findings from a mixed-methods evaluation of the Stack Up Overwatch Program (StOP), a digital peer support intervention delivered in an online gaming community.

Objective: We studied whether the serum leptin concentration at age 2 years predicts changes in relative body weight by age 8 and whether the serum leptin concentration is associated with intake of energy and nutrients at age 5.

Methods: A total of 156 8-year-old participants of the Special Turku Coronary Risk Factor Intervention Project were chosen to represent children whose relative weight decreased, was stable, or increased during the preceding 6 years. Their serum leptin concentrations were measured in samples collected when they were 2 years.
