TL;DR: In this article, a comparative study of the LCIA of different life cycle inventories (LCI) for EU cements is presented, where the main environmental interventions related to cement manufacture were classified and characterised and their effect on different impact categories analysed.

TL;DR: Responses to beneficial OLP were of significantly higher functional avidity than responses to non-beneficial OLP and had superior in-vitro antiviral activities and were at least as predictive of individuals' viral loads than their HLA class I genotypes.
Abstract: Background
The efficacy of the CTL component of a future HIV-1 vaccine will depend on the induction of responses with the most potent antiviral activity and broad HLA class I restriction. However, current HIV vaccine designs are largely based on viral sequence alignments only, not incorporating experimental data on T cell function and specificity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an evaluation of the risk of rockfall at the Sola d'Andorra slope (Andora Principality) before and after the implementation of risk mitigation works, in particular, the construction of protective fences.
Abstract: Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) has become an indispensable tool for the management of landslide hazard and for planning risk mitigation measures. In this paper we present the evaluation of the rockfall risk at the Sola d’Andorra slope (Andorra Principality) before and after the implementation of risk mitigation works, in particular, the construction of protective fences. To calculate the risk level we have (i) identified the potential rockfall release areas, (ii) obtained the volume distribution of the falling rocks, (iii) determined the frequency of the rockfall events, and (iv) performed trajectographic analysis with a 3D numerical model (Eurobloc) that has provided both the expected travel distances and the kinetic energy of the blocks. The risk level at the developed area located at the foot of the rock cliff has been calculated taking into account the nature of the exposed elements and their vulnerability. In the Forat Negre basin, the most dangerous basin of the Sola d’Andorra, the construction of two lines of rockfall protection fences has reduced the annual probability of loss of life for the most exposed person inside the buildings, from 3.8×10−4 to 9.1×10−7 and the societal risk from 1.5×10−2 of annual probability of loss of life to 1.2×10−5.

TL;DR: The antibacterial activity (AA) of the oxidized samples was determined using the inhibition halo methodology on agar plates cultured with Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, which indicates that the long-term intermediates do not present antibiotic properties.
