The circular economy (CE) has emerged as a paradigm to protect the environment and well-being of future generations. In parallel, Blockchain technology (BC) critical enabler for accelerating transition toward CE. order understand summarize prior research on role BC in CE, we conducted systematic literature review (SLR) 70 seminal articles published before July 2022. Six main themes emerged: a) ...

The earliest recorded solar eclipse was on October 22, 2137 BC as mentioned in the Chinese 'Slue Ching'. The Chaldean astronomer in about 400 BC discovered that eclipses occur in regular succession at an interval of about 18 years, the cycle being called the Chaldean Saros. The exact interval is 223 lunatians or 6585.3 days. Out of a total of 65 eclipses in 19th century only 4 total solar eclip...

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the potential of administering bovine colostrum suckling and weanling piglets modulate growth, body composition, intestinal architecture, immunity, as well remodeling permeability. Twenty-four litters adjusted 12 each were selected at birth; one-half them received liquid (LC+) from d 5 10, whereas remaining did not receive any supplementation (LC-). Startin...

Allelic imbalance (AI) encompassing the apoptotic protease-activating factor 1 (APAF-1) locus (12q22-23) is found frequently in metastatic melanoma. Circulating DNA with AI on 12q22-23 in serum was evaluated as a surrogate marker to predict biochemotherapy (BC) treatment response in melanoma patients. Sera were collected from 49 American Joint Committee on Cancer stage IV melanoma patients trea...

Gordona terrae strain C-6 was isolated from oil-contaminated soil and is capable of desulfurizing benzothiophene (BT). Here we report the draft genome sequence of G. terrae strain C-6, which may help to reveal the genetic basis of the BT biodesulfurization pathway.

In this study, the temporal variations of black carbon (BC) were analyzed from November 2019 to September 2021, in Tacna, Peru. Ground measurements obtained with a photoacoustic extinctiometer (PAX BC) and NASA’s MERRA-2 reanalysis data (MERRA-2 used. The seasonal concentrations PAX BC (mean ± standard deviation) as follows: 0.70 0.35, 0.73 0.46, 0.39, 0.85 0.46 µg m−3, for spring, summer, autu...

Objective(s): Baicalein (BC), a phytoestrogen of the flavonoid family shows beneficiary and adverse effects. Effect of BC on reproduction is still not understood. Reproductive toxic effects on female mice were tested in this study.Materials and Methods: Inseminated Wistar mice were divided into four groups and administered IP with 30, 60, and 90 mg/Kg body weight of BC on gestation daydays 11, ...

Variations in black carbon (BC) concentrations over different timescales, including annual, weekly and diurnal changes, were studied during ten years in Helsinki, Finland. Measurements were made in three campaigns between 1996 and 2005 at an urban area locating two kilometres of the centre of Helsinki. The first campaign took place from November 1996 to June 1997, the second from September 2000...

AIM AND BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to analyze the main clinical and pathologic characteristics of radiation-induced breast carcinomas (BC) following treatment for Hodgkin's disease (HD) and to identify the risk factors for their induction. To create a mathematical model for the prediction of expected age at which a BC might develop based on the age at treatment for HD. MATERIALS AND ...

[1] The equilibrium climate effect of direct radiative forcing of anthropogenic black carbon (BC) is examined by 100-year simulations in the Goddard Institute for Space Studies General Circulation Model II-prime coupled to a mixed-layer ocean model. Anthropogenic BC is predicted to raise globally and annually averaged equilibrium surface air temperature by 0.20 K if BC is assumed to be external...
