متن کاملLicensing small modular reactors
Small modular reactor designs with power levels of less than 300 MWe are being developed in several countries. While there are several potential advantages with these reactors, they are also confronted with multiple challenges. Important among these challenges is to have these new reactor designs licensed by national regulatory bodies. Because of the many novel features incorporated in differen...
متن کاملSleepy, circadian disrupted and sick: Could intestinal microbiota play an important role in shift worker health?
A sizable percentage of the population stands to benefit from importance of sufficient, consolidated sleep to maintain a diverse and elucidating mechanisms linking sleep loss, circadian misalignment, and metabolic disease. In particular, shift work is associated with increased risk for metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome [1]. These workers also report ...
متن کاملThe complexities underlying age-related macular degeneration: could amyloid beta play an important role?
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) causes irreversible loss of central vision for which there is no effective treatment. Incipient pathology is thought to occur in the retina for many years before AMD manifests from midlife onwards to affect a large proportion of the elderly. Although genetic as well as non-genetic/environmental risks are recognized, its complex aetiology makes it difficult...
متن کاملAetiopathogenesis of type-2 diabetes mellitus: could chronic stress play an important role?
OBJECTIVES Pathogenesis of type-2 diabetes remains elusive. Various factors including diet, physical exercise, obesity, genetic factors and stress, have been discussed. Among these factors role of stress is still poorly understood in diabetes. Therefore the study was planned to assess effect of stress in diabetic and non-diabetic population in a comparative descriptive manner. METHODS 1000 di...
