PULMONARY TOXICITY AND INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE OF VAPE CARTRIDGES CONTAINING MEDIUM-CHAIN TRIGLYCERIDES OIL AND VITAMIN E ACETATE: IMPLICATIONS IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF EVALI

Recently, there has been an outbreak of a condition named e-cigarette or vaping products-associated lung injury (EVALI).The primary components of vaping products include tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), vitamin E acetate (VEA) and medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), may be responsible for acute lung toxicity.Currently, little information is available on t

Paper deals with experimental research on the crushing of coffee beans of different kinds under quasi-static compression.The process of the crushing is described in details.It has been shown that there is variability in the crushing strength Small Turnings values.A relation between crushing strength and the coffee grain shape is also studied.Roaste

Frequency and continuity of military interventions in politics in different societies have led to the fact that the analysis of the interrelationships of the armed forces and the government has become one of the most important issues in political sociology studies.Military interference in politics in different forms and levels is a general phenomen

A recent study reported neutralizing antibodies to West Nile virus (WNV) in horses from four ranches of southern Pantanal.To extend that study, a serosurvey for WNV and 11 Brazilian flaviviruses was conducted with 760 equines, 238 sheep and 61 caimans from 17 local cattle ranches.Among the tested equines, 32 were collected from a ranch where a neur

Appropriately used, computational fluid dynamics models are powerful tools to design and optimize primary settling tanks (PSTs).This paper uses a Fluent-based 3D Personal Cool Bag model to identify the possible causes for underperformance of the circular PSTs at the Cali waste-water treatment plant, Colombia, and to propose design modifications to
