TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented an experimental study on relative gas and water permeabilities of ordinary concrete versus its saturation degree, which showed the influence of the saturation degree of concrete on the variation of water and gas permeabilities.

TL;DR: Monitoring reticulo-rumen temperature permits early detection of BRD; however, clinical examination is required to confirm BRD.
Abstract: The use of reticulo-rumen temperature boluses to detect bovine respiratory disease (BRD) was investigated in young bulls following their entry into a fattening unit. Twenty-four bulls received a bolus at entry and were observed for 40 days. As soon as a reticulo-rumen hyperthermia (RH) episode was detected using the bolus, clinical examination was performed by a veterinarian and then repeated every 12-24 h until the end of RH episode. Fifty-two RH episodes were detected in 22 animals. High rectal temperatures (40.1 ± 0.6 °C) were observed during these episodes. BRD was diagnosed on the basis of clinical examination during 38/52 RH episodes in 21 animals (positive predictive value 73%). The onset of BRD signs always occurred after the onset of RH episodes, with a time-lag from 12 to 136 h, depending on BRD signs. Monitoring reticulo-rumen temperature permits early detection of BRD; however, clinical examination is required to confirm BRD.

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis and the physico-chemical characterization of HETPHEN based heteroleptic copper(I)−bis(diimine) complexes are reported for TiO2 based dye sensitized solar cells (DSCs).
Abstract: The synthesis and the physico-chemical characterization of HETPHEN based heteroleptic copper(I)–bis(diimine) complexes are reported. For TiO2 based dye sensitized solar cells (DSCs), the latter display impressive photoconversion efficiencies (PCEs), unprecedented for first row transition metal coordination complexes.

TL;DR: The study shows that ibuprofen use results in selective transcriptional repression of endocrine cells in the human testis, resulting in a state of compensated hypogonadism, a disorder associated with adverse reproductive and physical health disorders.
Abstract: Concern has been raised over increased male reproductive disorders in the Western world, and the disruption of male endocrinology has been suggested to play a central role. Several studies have shown that mild analgesics exposure during fetal life is associated with antiandrogenic effects and congenital malformations, but the effects on the adult man remain largely unknown. Through a clinical trial with young men exposed to ibuprofen, we show that the analgesic resulted in the clinical condition named "compensated hypogonadism," a condition prevalent among elderly men and associated with reproductive and physical disorders. In the men, luteinizing hormone (LH) and ibuprofen plasma levels were positively correlated, and the testosterone/LH ratio decreased. Using adult testis explants exposed or not exposed to ibuprofen, we demonstrate that the endocrine capabilities from testicular Leydig and Sertoli cells, including testosterone production, were suppressed through transcriptional repression. This effect was also observed in a human steroidogenic cell line. Our data demonstrate that ibuprofen alters the endocrine system via selective transcriptional repression in the human testes, thereby inducing compensated hypogonadism.
