Thanks to multiple recirculation of process water, the German paper industry has succeeded in decreasing the specific fresh water demand from an average of 50 m3/t thirty years ago to 13 m3/t today. Although the increasing closure of white water loops creates many problems, it is bound to be part of the German paper industry's ongoing development. For a few years, in the production of packaging paper, two paper mills have been running with a totally closed water system including different process water treatment plants as 'kidneys'. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the pros and cons of closed process water systems followed by significant examples of effluent-free production of corrugating medium and test liner. Additionally, operation experiences and economic aspects are discussed.

Comparison of global and local optimization methods for intensity-based 2D-3D registration.
Comput Biol Med
December 2024
Zuse Institute Berlin, Takustraße 7, Berlin, 14195, Germany.
Intensity-based 2D-3D registration methods are commonly used in musculoskeletal research and image-guided therapy to align 2D X-ray images with 3D CT scans. However, their success rate (SR) is limited by local optimization methods, which often cause the optimization of the underlying cost function to get stuck at a local minimum, resulting in false alignments. Global optimization methods aim to mitigate this problem, but despite their increasing popularity, the existing literature lacks consensus on which one is the most appropriate.

Electronic address:
Background And Purpose: We investigate discrepancies in the assessment of treatment-related symptoms in lung cancer between healthcare professionals and patients, and factors contributing to these discrepancies.
Materials And Methods: Data from 515 participants in the REQUITE study were analysed. Five symptoms (cough, dyspnoea, bronchopulmonary haemorrhage, chest wall pain, dysphagia) were evaluated both before and after radiotherapy.
The influence of resistance training on inflammatory markers, body composition and functional capacity in healthy older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

December 2024
Exercise Science & Neuroscience Unit, Department Exercise & Health, Paderborn University, Paderborn, Germany. Electronic address:
Background: Older adults experience chronic inflammation, which is associated with health conditions such as sarcopenia, and resulting in reduced functional capacity. Resistance training (RT) is a beneficial intervention for improving health in the elderly.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of RT on inflammatory biomarkers, body composition, and functional capacity in healthy adults aged 60 years and over.
Recycling e-waste into gold-loaded covalent organic framework catalysts for terminal alkyne carboxylation.

Department of Food Science, College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, Cornell University, Stocking Hall, Ithaca, NY, USA.
The rising demand for gold requires innovative methods for its recovery from e-waste. Here we present the synthesis of two tetrazine-based vinyl-linked covalent organic frameworks: TTF-COF and TPE-COF that adsorb gold ions and nanoparticles and catalyze the carboxylation of terminal alkynes. These covalent organic frameworks have low band gaps and high photocurrent responses.
