MESOSCOPIC URBAN-TRAFFIC SIMULATION BASED ON MOBILITY BEHAVIOR TO CALCULATE NOX EMISSIONS CAUSED BY PRIVATE MOTORIZED TRANSPORT

Mesoscopic Urban-Traffic Simulation Based on Mobility Behavior to Calculate NOx Emissions Caused by Private Motorized Transport

Motorized transport is one of the main contributors to anthropogenic CO 2 emissions, which cause global warming.Other emissions, like nitrogen oxides or carbon monoxide, are detrimental to human health.A prominent way to understand and thus be able to minimize emissions is by using traffic simulations to evaluate different scenarios.In that way, on

Impaired immune function in Gulf War Illness

Abstract Background Gulf War Illness (GWI) remains a serious health consequence for at least 11,000 veterans of the first Gulf War in the early 1990s.Our understanding of the health consequences that resulted remains inadequate, and this is of great concern with another deployment to the same theater of operations occurring now.Chronic immune cell

The hypolipidemic effect of MI-883, the combined CAR agonist/ PXR antagonist, in diet-induced hypercholesterolemia model

Abstract Constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) and pregnane X receptor (PXR) are closely related nuclear receptors with overlapping regulatory functions in xenobiotic clearance but distinct roles in endobiotic metabolism.Car activation has been demonstrated to ameliorate hypercholesterolemia by regulating cholesterol metabolism and bile acid elimi
