An effective approach to the COS capture and fixation using alcohol-amine binary systems contained Ethylene Glycol-based polyols (EGs) Ethylenediamine-based polyamines (EDAs) under ambient conditions is developed. Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) X-Ray powder Diffraction (XRD) analyses reveal that converted into thio-alkylcarbonate salts wit...

Correctional officers (COs) work in high-stress environments, frequently experience critical incidents and have shown high levels of burnout. The current review synthesizes evaluates literature on determinants CO well-being. followed the Joanna Briggs Institute approach for mixed-method systematic reviews. Eligible studies measured subjective or psychological well-being frontline COs. Studies d...

Filiol and Fontaine recently proposed a family of stream ciphers named COS. COS is based on nonlinear feedback shift registers and was claimed to be highly secure. Babbage showed that COS (2, 128) Mode II is extremely weak. But Babbage’s attack is very expensive to break the COS (2, 128) Mode I (the complexity is around 2). In this paper, we show that the COS (2, 128) Mode I is very weak. Secre...

Carbonyl sulfide (COS) is one of the major sources of stratospheric sulfate aerosols, which affect the global radiation balance and ozone depletion. COS-degrading microorganisms are ubiquitous in soil and important for the global flux of COS. We examined the sulfur isotopic fractionation during the enzymatic degradation of COS by carbonyl sulfide hydrolase (COSase) from Thiobacillus thioparus T...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by a large number of amyloid-β (Aβ) deposits in the brain. Therefore, inhibiting Aβ aggregation or destabilizing preformed aggregates could be a promising therapeutic target for halting/slowing the progression of AD. Chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) have previously been reported to exhibit antioxidant and neuroprotective effects. Recent study shows that ...

Chitooligosaccharides (COS) are hydrolyzed products of chitosan and have been proven to exhibit various biological functions. The aims of this study were to investigate the mechanisms underlying the hepatoprotective effects of COS against ethanol-induced oxidative stress in vitro. Human L02 normal liver cells were pretreated with COS (0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 mg/ml) and then hepatotoxicity was stimula...

The properties of two improved versions of charge-on-spring (COS) polarizable water models (COS/G2 and COS/G3) that explicitly include nonadditive polarization effects are reported. In COS models, the polarization is represented via a self-consistently induced dipole moment consisting of a pair of separated charges. A previous polarizable water model (COS/B2), upon which the improved versions a...

Propofol is one of the main sedatives but its negative side effects limit its clinical application. Chitosan oligosaccharide (COS), a kind of natural product with anti-pain and anti-inflammatory activities, may be a potential adjuvant to propofol use. A total of 94 patients receiving surgeries were evenly and randomly assigned to two groups: 10 mg/kg COS oral administration and/or placebo oral ...

BACKGROUND A COS represents an agreed minimum set of outcomes that should be measured and reported in all trials of a specific condition. The COMET (Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials) initiative aims to collate and stimulate the development and application of COS, by including data on relevant studies within a publically available internet-based resource. In recent years, there has ...

A core outcome set (COS) is an agreed minimum of outcomes that should be measured globally in all clinical trials or other specified settings, such as routine practice quality assurance, for a particular condition.1 COS consists primarily domains (what to measure) and eventually measurement instruments (how measure). The universal uptake suitable critical advancing patient-centred care reducing...
