Abstract Objective To evaluate circulating levels of intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in patients with dermatomyositis (DM) and DM associated interstitial lung disease (DM-ILD).Methods We performed a cross-sectional study in plasma samples from DM patients and matched healthy controls.Plasm
Plummeting costs of renewables - Are energy scenarios lagging?
Wind and solar energy play a pivotal role in deep decarbonization pathways for the future.However, energy scenario studies differ substantially in the contribution of these technologies, as the technology selection in models strongly depends on the choice of techno-economic parameters.In this article, we systematically compare the cost assumptions
Hydrodynamic Simulation of Green Hydrogen Catamaran Operating in Lisbon, Portugal
Similar to other industries, the maritime industry is also facing increasing restrictions on ships regarding pollution control.The research presented in this paper is aimed at studying the pros and cons of alternative fuels followed by a detailed analysis on hydrogen fuel cells (PEMFC) for a particular ship operating in Lisbon, Portugal.Dynamic for
Advancing Genetic Methods in the Study of Parrot Biology and Conservation
Parrots (Psittaciformes) are a well-studied, diverse h22a4 transmission group of birds distributed mainly in tropical and subtropical regions.Today, one-third of their species face extinction, mainly due to anthropogenic threats.Emerging tools in genetics have made major contributions to understanding basic and applied aspects of parrot biology in
