TL;DR: In this paper, the relative performances of UNIQUAC and related models to account for sorption phenomena in polar elastomers (polyurethaneimides) with vapours of moderate to strong polarity (ether, ester, alcohol).

TL;DR: The genetic basis of mechanotransduction in Drosophila is investigated and it is shown that the fly heart senses and responds to mechanical forces by regulating cardiac activity, and that painless is autonomously required in the heart to mediate the response to mechanical stress.

TL;DR: In this paper, a specific risk analysis has been developed in order to assess the fire and explosion risks of aluminum nanopowders, based on the peculiar behaviours that had been previously highlighted.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental investigation was carried out to determine the evolution of the ignition sensitivity and the explosion severity of such various mixtures as a function of their compositions, and it was shown that the introduction of small amounts of highly combustible powders (such as sulphur or nicotinic acid) to a less flammable dust (e.g., microcrystalline cellulose or carbon black) can strongly influence the ignition sensitivities and explosion severity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the adsorption isotherms of m -xylene on activated carbon by time integration of the breakthrough curves at T ǫ (298.15, 308, 318, and 333.15) K using home-made apparatus developed for this purpose.
