Article Synopsis
- The paper discusses the development of two Digital Twin prototypes aimed at boosting efficiency and quality control in Barcelona's drinking water network.
- The first prototype enhances asset management by predicting pump station failures 137 days in advance with a 70% accuracy rate, while the second focuses on monitoring water quality using machine learning to forecast harmful trihalomethane levels.
- Both prototypes contribute to ongoing innovations in water network management by improving fault detection, reducing incident response times, and ensuring compliance with safety standards for public health.
Article Synopsis
- * The study found that CBD causes cell death and stress in liver cells by disturbing the cell cycle and inducing apoptosis, and that using an ER stress inhibitor can reduce this damage.
- * Researchers highlighted that specific cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs), especially CYP2D6, are involved in CBD metabolism and can help mitigate its cytotoxic effects in liver cells.
Introduction: The use of emerging tobacco and nicotine products affects tobacco use behaviors among college students. Thus, we aimed to examine transitions in tobacco use patterns and identify their predictors among smokers in a cohort of nursing students in Catalonia (Spain).
Methods: We conducted a prospective longitudinal study of Catalan nursing students between 2015-2016 and 2018-2019.
Increasing public interest has resulted in the widespread use of non-pharmaceutical cannabidiol (CBD) products. The sales of CBD products continue to rise, accompanied by concerns regarding unsubstantiated benefits, lack of product quality control, and potential health risks. Both animal and human studies have revealed a spectrum of toxicological effects linked to the use of CBD.

This work presents a nanoporous graphene-based thin-film technology and its engineering to form flexible neural interfaces. The developed technology allows the fabrication of small microelectrodes (25 µm diameter) while achieving low impedance (∼25 kΩ) and high charge injection (3-5 mC cm).
