TL;DR: In this paper, various titania samples of industrial origin (Degussa and Tioxide) have been characterized by electrical photoconductance measurements and tested as photocatalysts in various liquid media (either pure organic liquids or aqueous solutions) as a function of their structure (anatase versus rutile).
Abstract: Various titania samples of industrial origin (Degussa and Tioxide) have been characterized by electrical photoconductance measurements and tested as photocatalysts in various liquid media (either pure organic liquids or aqueous solutions) as a function of their structure (anatase versus rutile). Anatase was constantly found more active than rutile, whatever the reaction chosen (mild oxidation of pure cyclohexane and 2-propanol; total degradation of phenol and nitrophenol isomers in water). In identical conditions, Degussa was found more active, but the intrinsic activity, expressed in moles converted per hour and per square meter of active surface, was found slightly higher for anatase Tioxide. The higher activity of anatase with respect to that of rutile could be explained by the interpretation of the photoconductance measurements, which evidence the higher aptitude of anatase (i) to photoadsorb oxygen, in O2- and O- forms; (ii) to photodesorb it; and (iii) to have a lower relative electron−hole recombin...

TL;DR: The ligand for Fas (FasL) was shown to be constitutively expressed both in normal and HT thyrocytes and was able to kill Fas-sensitive targets, suggesting that IL-1β-induced Fas expression serves as a limiting factor for Thyrocyte destruction.
Abstract: The mechanisms responsible for thyrocyte destruction in Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) are poorly understood Thyrocytes from HT glands, but not from nonautoimmune thyroids, expressed Fas Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), abundantly produced in HT glands, induced Fas expression in normal thyrocytes, and cross-linking of Fas resulted in massive thyrocyte apoptosis The ligand for Fas (FasL) was shown to be constitutively expressed both in normal and HT thyrocytes and was able to kill Fas-sensitive targets Exposure to IL-1beta induced thyrocyte apoptosis, which was prevented by antibodies that block Fas, suggesting that IL-1beta-induced Fas expression serves as a limiting factor for thyrocyte destruction Thus, Fas-FasL interactions among HT thyrocytes may contribute to clinical hypothyroidism

TL;DR: The potential of Nature based solutions (NBSs) as a cost-effective long term solution for hydrological risks and land degradation is shown and these services directly feed into the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the number of deaths up to 1998 with expected deaths and expressed the comparison as standardised mortality ratio (SMR) and relative survival ratio (RSR) in patients with coeliac disease and their first-degree relatives.
