SwRI’s Dr. Marc Janssens recognized for role in establishing cone calorimeter fire testing

SwRI’s Dr. Marc Janssens recognized for role in establishing cone calorimeter fire testing
2024-04-24
SAN ANTONIO — April 24, 2024 — Southwest Research Institute’s Dr. Marc Janssens was named a “DiNenno Prize Laureate” for his role in the widespread adoption of the cone calorimeter, a fire-testing tool that accurately measures heat release and material flammability. The National Fire Protection Association® recognized the cone calorimeter with the 2024 Philip J. DiNenno Prize for its lasting impact on fire safety. Dr. Vytenis Babrauskas, a co-recipient of the prize, developed the cone ...

Modeling broader effects of wildfires in Siberia

Modeling broader effects of wildfires in Siberia
2024-04-24
As wildfires in Siberia become more common, global climate modeling estimates significant impacts on climate, air quality, health, and economies in East Asia and across the northern hemisphere. The global effects of increasing wildfires in Siberia have been modeled by researchers at Hokkaido University and colleagues at the University of Tokyo and Kyushu University. The results, published in the journal Earth’s Future, suggest significant and widespread effects on air quality, climate, health, and economics under the most extreme wildfire scenarios. The authors performed global numerical simulation experiments to evaluate how the increased intensity of wildfires ...

Researchers find oldest undisputed evidence of Earth’s magnetic field

Researchers find oldest undisputed evidence of Earth’s magnetic field
2024-04-24
A new study, led by the University of Oxford and MIT, has recovered a 3.7-billion-year-old record of Earth’s magnetic field, and found that it appears remarkably similar to the field surrounding Earth today. The findings have been published today in the Journal of Geophysical Research. Without its magnetic field, life on Earth would not be possible since this shields us from harmful cosmic radiation and charged particles emitted by the Sun (the ‘solar wind’). But up to now, there has been no reliable date for when the modern magnetic field was first established.    In the new study, the researchers examined ...

Paclitaxel-induced immune dysfunction and activation of transcription factor AP-1 facilitate Hepatitis B virus replication

Paclitaxel-induced immune dysfunction and activation of transcription factor AP-1 facilitate Hepatitis B virus replication
2024-04-24
Background and Aims Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation is commonly observed in individuals with chronic HBV infection undergoing antineoplastic drug therapy. Paclitaxel (PTX) treatment has been identified as a potential trigger for HBV reactivation. This study aimed to uncover the mechanisms of PTX-induced HBV reactivation in vitro and in vivo, which may inform new strategies for HBV antiviral treatment.   Methods The impact of PTX on HBV replication was assessed through various methods including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, dual-luciferase reporter assay, quantitative ...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes doped with ‘nitrogen’ enhance the performance of secondary battery anode

Single-walled carbon nanotubes doped with ‘nitrogen’ enhance the performance of secondary battery anode
2024-04-24
Dr. Han Joong Tark and student researcher Lee Do Geun at the Nano Hybrid Technology Research Center of Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute(KERI) have developed a new manufacturing technique for "silicon/nitrogen-doped carbon composite anode materials." These materials aim to enhance the capacity and stability of lithium-ion battery anodes. Silicon, despite offering significantly higher energy density compared to graphite (a common anode material), suffers from a major drawback: it expands 3-4 times during charging and discharging, leading to performance degradation. To address this issue, researchers are blending ...

Pioneering the future of urban traffic: The revolutionary spatiotemporal-restricted a* algorithm

Pioneering the future of urban traffic: The revolutionary spatiotemporal-restricted a* algorithm
2024-04-24
As urban areas continue to grow, the demand for innovative solutions to alleviate traffic congestion and improve transportation efficiency has never been more urgent. A recent breakthrough study presented by researchers from the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory as well as international research team introduces a cutting-edge approach to managing traffic at urban intersections using the spatiotemporal-restricted A* algorithm.

First-ever combined heart pump and pig kidney transplant gives new hope to patient with terminal illness

First-ever combined heart pump and pig kidney transplant gives new hope to patient with terminal illness
2024-04-24
NEW YORK, NY, APRIL 24, 2024— Surgeons at NYU Langone Health performed the first-ever combined mechanical heart pump and gene-edited pig kidney transplant surgery in a 54-year-old woman with heart and kidney failure—a confluence of advances that showcase the possibility and hope of modern medicine. Doctors performed this feat in two stages: first surgically implanting the heart pump days before embarking on the landmark transplant, which included a gene-edited pig kidney and the pig’s thymus gland to aid against rejection. Before the procedure, patient Lisa Pisano, a New Jersey ...

Krause-Parello, Ph.D., associate vice president for research, FAU Division of Research and a research professor in the College of Nursing.     This important study will provide ...

COVID-19 pandemic alters view that doctors are obligated to provide care

2024-04-24
DURHAM, N.C. – The unique circumstances arising from the COVID-19 pandemic altered a long-held convention that doctors provide care regardless of personal risk. In a study assessing doctors’ tolerance for refusing care to COVID-19 patients, Duke Health researchers identified a growing acceptance to withhold care because of safety concerns.  “All the papers throughout history have shown that physicians broadly believed they should treat infectious disease patients,” said the study’s lead author, Braylee Grisel, a fourth-year student at Duke University ...
