One of the best and most advanced methods for disposal of urban, hospital, industrial, and other hazardous waste is to convert waste into combustible gases in reactors based on plasma arc technology. Also used for renewable energy generation, this technology involves thermal treatment without a combustion process; therefore, the waste is completely decomposed into simple molecules in a near vacuum environment almost devoid of Oxygen at elevated temperatures. The present research uses a thermal transferred arc plasma reactor to conduct a feasibility study on the pyrolysis of three types of wastes: Antar, Orthotoluenediamine (OTD), and Tar.

Mechanical loading plays a pivotal role in regulating bone anabolic processes. Understanding the optimal mechanical loading parameters for cellular responses is critical for advancing strategies in orthopedic bioreactor-based bone tissue engineering. This study developed a poly (sorbitol sebacate) (PSS) filmscaffold with a sorbitol-to-sebacic acid molar ratio of 1:4.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study highlights the complexity of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, emphasizing the need to understand genetic and environmental factors that vary across different ancestries for personalized treatment approaches.
  • - Utilizing large-scale biobank data, the research characterized genetic variants associated with Alzheimer's across 11 ancestries, identifying 116 potentially linked variants, including 18 known pathogenic ones and 98 new variants.
  • - The findings revealed significant ancestry-driven differences in disease risk, including a higher presence of ε4/ε4 carriers in African ancestries, suggesting the importance of considering genetics in diverse populations to enhance understanding and treatment of AD/ADRDs.

Background: Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a common vestibular disorder significantly impacting older adults, characterized by brief episodes of vertigo triggered by head movements. Accurate and timely diagnosis of BPPV can be challenging due to its overlapping symptoms with other conditions. Machine learning (ML) offers a promising approach to enhance diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.
