This study investigated the temporal change in the oxidation area on a titanium (Ti) bipolar electrode (BPE) subjected to bipolar anodization in a direct current (DC) electric field using a spectrophotometer. The rectangular Ti sheet used as a BPE was horizontally positioned at the center of a cell. After the DC bipolar anodization, the oxidized area was detected nondestructively and visually using a specific interference color that depends on the thickness of the barrier-type oxide film formed on the Ti BPE. The change in the *** color space corresponding to each interference color revealed that the oxidation area increased along the longitudinal axis of the BPE with the increasing electrolysis time by reflecting the change in the potential distributions on the BPE. As visually demonstrated, the area where the anodic reaction proceeded reached saturation at 90% of the BPE surface area.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is distinguished as a high-grade malignant tumor, characterized by rapid systemic metastasis, particularly to the lungs, resulting in very low survival rates. Understanding the complexities of tumor development and mutation is the need of the hour for the advancement of targeted therapies in cancer care. A significant innovation in this area is the use of nanotechnology, specifically nanoparticles, to tackle various challenges in cancer treatment.

With the explosive development of nanotechnology, engineered nanomaterials are currently being used in various industries, including food and medicine. Concern about the health effects of nanomaterials has been raised, and available research indicates that the relative surface area of nanomaterials seems to correlate with the severity of their toxicity. With regard to engineered nanomaterials, the scope of their acute and chronic toxicities and their mechanisms are not fully understood.

This study aimed to estimate the percentage of households with intermittent water supply (IWS) in Peru and determine the association between socioeconomic characteristics and the presence of IWS. The National Household Surveys (ENAHO) of 2017, 2018, 2019, 2019, 2021, and 2022 were used. IWS was defined as a piped water supply for less than 24 hours per day, one or more days per week.

Methane (CH), which is the main component of natural gas, is an abundant and widely available carbon resource. However, CH has a low energy density of only 36 kJ L under ambient conditions, which is significantly lower than that of gasoline (. 34 MJ L).

Background: This study aims to investigate the correlation between oxidative balance score (OBS) and all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and respiratory-related mortality within a cohort that includes older asthma patients with diabetes.
Methods: Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning from 2001 to 2018, which included 611 participants, were analyzed. Mortality outcomes were determined by linking the data to National Death Index (NDI) records through December 31, 2019.
