Steam presses cause full-thickness burns when the operator's extremity is caught between the buck and the head of the steam press. Patients with serious steam press burns should be referred to a regional burn center for excision of the full-thickness burn and coverage by either a split-thickness skin graft or a flap. The safety features in steam presses that could prevent this serious injury include: (1) emergency safety releases, (2) peripheral safety bars, and (3) two-hand operator control.

The growing demand for plant-based protein and natural food ingredients has further fueled interest in exploring hemp seeds ( L.) as a sustainable source of and nutrition. In addition to the content of proteins and healthy fats (linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid), hemp seeds are rich in phytochemical compounds, especially terpenoids, polyphenols, and phytosterols, which contribute to their bioactive properties.

This study investigated the antistress effects of yuzu synthetic fragrances by employing three experiments on humans and mice using two yuzu synthetic fragrances and five single compounds. We prepared two synthetic fragrances based on the component analysis of two natural yuzu essential oils extracted by cold-pressed and steam-distilled extraction methods. Chromogranin A (CgA) and heart rate (HR) were used as stress indices in human experiments.

The development of absorber materials with strong light absorption properties and low-cost fabrication processes is highly significant for the application of photothermal conversion technology. In this work, a mixed powder consisting of NaCl, polypropylene (PP), and scale-like carbon flakes was ultrasonically pressed into sheets, and the NaCl was then removed by salt dissolution to obtain porous carbon polypropylene composite sheets (P-CPCS). This process is simple, green, and suitable for the low-cost, large-area fabrication of P-CPCS.

Article Synopsis
- - The current linear plastics economy faces significant challenges due to rising polymer demand, prompting the exploration of a circular alternative through chemical recycling using the waste-to-methanol-to-olefins (WMO) approach.
- - This study evaluates both the environmental impacts and economic viability of this circular production route (CPR) in 2020 and 2050, revealing that it could substantially reduce environmental impacts by 2050, especially with a renewable energy mix.
- - However, transitioning from a linear to a circular model presents challenges in 2020, leading to increased environmental impacts in certain areas, yet the economic analysis indicates that large-scale production of ethylene from waste polymers could be competitive with traditional fossil sources.
