AhR (aryl hydrocarbon receptor) pathway, tobacco-similar pathway, oxidation, as well as epigenetics pathway were reviewed. Based on the working mechanism, the reported study method and methodology used in Ashland lab were reviewed, including cell level experiment, through reconstructed human skin to in vivo study.展开更多

How- ever, during the engineering applications, it is observed that the efficiency of gas drainage initially improves, but reduces there- after. Thus, it is speculated that the contrasts in coalbed methane drainage efficiency may reflect variation of the closure be- havior of the artificial fracture created. Based on comprehensive gas drainage monitoring data in underground coal mines, the work presented herein uses numerical simulation to show the behavior of the time-dependent closure of coal seam fractures as- sociated with various levels of waterjet fracturing parameters and geomechanical conditions.展开更多

The efficiency of compressed air storage is often presented as a limit to its application. The present work describes a series of manipulations carried out in order to increase the yield. As the action of the artificial wind on the wind turbine is characterized by a reduced attack surface, a treated wind, a constant direction, an adjustable speed, it is therefore a question of acting on all the controllable parameters of the artificial wind to find the best way to use it to produce more energy from a certain quantity stored in a tank. The main manipulations consisted in determining: the optimal number of points of attack of the wind turbine; the nature of the action (continuous or interrupted) of the wind; the frequency of wind action and the duty cycle.展开更多
