(
JAFM
, 2020 , Article)
Cardiovascular disorders are among the most important causes of sudden death and adult disability worldwide. Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a critical clinical condition where the aorta dilates beyond 50% of its normal ...
Spatio-temporal changes in water-related ecosystem services provision and trade-offs with food production
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
A key challenge for sustainability is protecting water-related ecosystems and the services (WESs) they provide while enhancing food security. Food production usually drives land use change, which results in ecosystem ...
Tailoring of the thermal, mechanical and dielectric properties of the polypropylene foams using gamma-irradiation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This study investigate the influence of gamma-irradiation (GI) doses from 0 up to 50 kGy on the polypropylene (PP) foams, mainly the impact on their structural and physical properties. It was found that structural properties ...
