Using two methods of determining the onset of rebreathing, we have determined the minimum fresh gas flow rate (VF) of the Ohmeda enclosed afferent reservoir breathing system (EAR) in anaesthetized, spontaneously breathing adults. Rebreathing as defined by the Kain and Nunn criteria did not occur when the VF/VE ratio was greater than 0.70. A mathematical model was used to calculate the degree of rebreathing at each VF. From this model, rebreathing did not occur when VF was 0.86 VE or more and this value of VF/VE is considered appropriate to eliminate rebreathing in clinical practice.

It has been 15 years since the introduction of the NOVA food-processing classification. While it was designed to identify ultra-processed foods linked to noncommunicable diseases, the NOVA system has a holistic concept that fits with sustainable nutrition. However, NOVA's connection to other sustainable diet indicators has not been thoroughly explored.

Exploring the interactions between oxygen molecules and metal sites has been a significant topic. Most previous studies concentrated on enzyme-mimicking metal sites interacting with O to form M-OO species, leaving the development of new types of O-activating metal sites and novel adsorption mechanisms largely overlooked. In this study, we reported an Fe(II)-doped metal-organic framework (MOF) [FeZnH(bibtz)] (, Hbibtz = 1,1'-5,5'-bibenzo[][1,2,3]triazole), featuring an unprecedented tetrahedral Fe(II)HN site.

The study evaluated the application of a novel high-pressure microbial inactivation method combining dense carbon dioxide with modified atmosphere packaging on organic fresh-cut squash (Cucurbita moschata). Approximately 4 g or 32 g of squash was packed in plastic pouches filled with CO to test two different gas-to-product ratios and treated with the high-pressure method at previously optimized process conditions (45 °C, 6.0 MPa and 40 min).

Background And Aims: There is growing interest in the environmental impact of surgical procedures, yet more information is needed specifically regarding liver transplantation. This study aims to quantify the total greenhouse gas emissions, or carbon footprint, associated with adult whole-size liver transplantation from donors after brain death, including the relevant back-table graft preparation.
Methods: The carbon footprint was calculated retrospectively using a bottom-up approach.
Plasmonic Cu-supported amorphous RuP for efficient photothermal CO hydrogenation to CO.

The hydrogenation of carbon dioxide into profitable chemicals is a viable path toward achieving the objective of carbon neutrality. However, the typical approach for hydrogenation of CO heavily relies on thermally driven catalysis at high temperatures, which is not aligned with the goals of carbon neutrality. Thus, there is a critical need to explore new catalytic methods for the high-efficiency conversion of CO.
