Clothing manufactured from synthetic fabrics such as polyester and nylon can release hundreds of thousands of microfibres to waste water systems when washed in domestic washing machines. Fleece fabrics have been of particular focus, however, fleece clothing can be made from a wide variety of...
A thermodynamic model is derived to study the void nucleation in ideal lattices under hydrostatic tension loading and predicts that the plasticity has to be initiated before homogeneous nucleation of voids. Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to evaluate the mechanical behavior of Ni...
Denne første del av følgeevalueringen av Kompetanseløft 2020 (K2020) viser at svært mange kommuner søker midler over K2020, noe vi vil anta viser at K2020 svarer på reelle behov i kommunene. Så langt kan det virke som det kommunale kompetanse- og innovasjonstilskuddet ikke ses på som et...
Purpose: Health should be a universal phenomenon. However, little is known about the relationship between disability status and health issues – particularly in rural areas. This study looks at health issues of persons with disabilities in Madwaleni, a rural impoverished area in South Africa in...
The reaction between SiO(g) and CO(g) is a relevant intermediate reaction in the silicon production process. One of the products generated from this gas mixture is called by its color, brown condensate. In this paper, SiO(g) and CO(g) are produced from SiO2-SiC pellets. The reaction between the two...
The onset of inflammation is associated with reactive oxygen species and oxidative damage to macromolecules like 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) in DNA. Because 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1) binds 8-oxoG and because Ogg1-deficient mice are resistant to acute and systemic inflammation, we...
