TL;DR: In this article, the vertical ExB drift velocity in the ionospheric F region and the daytime strength of the equatorial electrojet in the South American (west coast) longitude sector was investigated.
Abstract: [1] The daytime equatorial electrojet is a narrow band of enhanced eastward current flowing in the 100 to 120 km altitude region within ±2° latitude of the dip equator. A unique way of determining the daytime strength of the electrojet is to observe the difference in the magnitudes of the Horizontal (H) component between a magnetometer placed directly on the magnetic equator and one displaced 6 to 9 degrees away. The difference between these measured H values provides a direct measure of the daytime electrojet current, and in turn, the magnitude of the vertical ExB drift velocity in the F region ionosphere. This paper discusses a recent study that has established the quantitative relationship between the vertical ExB drift velocity in the ionospheric F region and the daytime strength of the equatorial electrojet in the South American (west coast) longitude sector.

TL;DR: Coronary risk factors, including age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and smoking, are associated with enhanced oxidative stress, which is implicated as a potential mechanism for atherogenesis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.
Abstract: — Coronary risk factors, including age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and smoking, are associated with enhanced oxidative stress, which is implicated as a potential mechanism for atherogenesis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Male sex is one of the well-known cardiovascular risk factors. We tested the hypothesis that oxidative stress is greater in men than in women. Plasma thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and urinary 8-isoprostaglandin F 2α (8-iso-PGF2α) were measured in 52 young men and 51 age-matched women. The subjects were healthy, were not smokers, and were not taking any medications or vitamins. Age, blood pressure, plasma cholesterol, and glucose did not differ between the groups. Baseline TBARS (2.32±0.11 [men] versus 1.87±0.09 [women] nmol/mL, P P P P

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used global emissions databases, a global nitrogen cycle model and a global input-output database of domestic and international trade to calculate the nitrogen footprints for 188 countries as the sum of emissions of ammonia, nitrogen oxides and nitrous oxide to the atmosphere and of nitrogen potentially exportable to water bodies.
Abstract: Anthropogenic emissions of reactive nitrogen have had severe environmental impacts. An analysis of reactive nitrogen emissions from the production, consumption and transport of commodities attributes roughly a quarter to international trade. Anthropogenic emissions of reactive nitrogen to the atmosphere and water bodies can damage human health and ecosystems1,2. As a measure of a nation’s contribution to this potential damage, a country’s nitrogen footprint has been defined as the quantity of reactive nitrogen emitted during the production, consumption and transportation of commodities consumed within that country, whether those commodities are produced domestically or internationally3. Here we use global emissions databases4,5, a global nitrogen cycle model6, and a global input–output database of domestic and international trade7,8 to calculate the nitrogen footprints for 188 countries as the sum of emissions of ammonia, nitrogen oxides and nitrous oxide to the atmosphere, and of nitrogen potentially exportable to water bodies. Per-capita footprints range from under 7 kg N yr−1 in some developing countries to over 100 kg N yr−1 in some wealthy nations. Consumption in China, India, the United States and Brazil is responsible for 46% of global emissions. Roughly a quarter of the global nitrogen footprint is from commodities that were traded across country borders. The main net exporters have significant agricultural, food and textile exports, and are often developing countries, whereas important net importers are almost exclusively developed economies. We conclude that substantial local nitrogen pollution is driven by demand from consumers in other countries.
