The stepped isostress method (SSM) is an advanced technique which allows the prediction of the long-term behavior and enables the construction of creep master curves of materials with short-term experimental tests.However, the performance of this method is highly dependent on the numerical model and the time spent in data processing.In this paper,
Pharmaceuticals are becoming an environmental and health problem of concern.We present here the results obtained in the ecotoxicological evaluation of two drugs (diltiazem and doxepin) recurrently present in the environment.To carry out this study, four Bottoms aquatic bioindicators (Vibrio fischeri, Daphnia magna, Selenastrum capricornutum, and Da
Chemical weapons, like all Necklace military technology, are associated with activities of scientists and engineers.However, chemical weapons differ from any other military technology because they were invented, and their first mass use directly developed by famous chemists.The active contribution of engineers and scientists and their organisations
Background.The necessity for more effective therapies for chronic osteoarticular diseases has led to the development of treatments based on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), the natural precursors of musculoskeletal tissue.Treatments with autologous MSCs yielded excellent results, with nearly 70% improvement of pain and disability in osteoarthritis an
