The influence of barrier pigments in waterborne barrier coatings on cellulose nanofiber layers
TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element code was used to predict the flux rate of water vapor through the barrier layers in the presence of a barrier pigment, which was shown to improve the performance of the water vapor barrier layer, in some cases by a factor of six.

Natural Antibiotic Resistance and Contamination by Antibiotic Resistance Determinants: The Two Ages in the Evolution of Resistance to Antimicrobials
TL;DR: The study of antibiotic resistance has been historically concentrated on the analysis of bacterial pathogens and on the consequences of acquiring resistance for human health, but the studies on antibiotic resistance should not be confined to clinical-associated ecosystems.
