Russia has raised the refining capacity volumes it expects to be idle this month by 67% compared to an earlier plan, due to scheduled maintenance at major refineries, Reuters estimates showed on Wednesday. In October, Russia expects to have 4.0 million metric tons of refining capacity offline, per Reuters’s calculations based on figures provided by industry sources. While that’s lower than the idle capacity in September, at 4.5 million tons, it is still higher than previously planned. Previously... Читать дальше...
Site - This project is in Sandy Cove, a small West Vancouver neighborhood in a mature coastal rainforest filled with mature Douglas fir and Western red cedar trees. The unique site has three "front" yards, facing Cypress Mountain to the north, Burrard Inlet to the south, and Lighthouse Park to the west. The site's complex geography is cradled by rough, lichen-covered granite. This house replaces a distinctive Ron Thom-designed house that was as sharp and ragged as the site with an innovative hexagonal... Читать дальше...

Chronic tuberculosis (TB) disease, which requires months-long chemotherapy with multiple antibiotics, is defined by diverse pathological manifestations and bacterial phenotypes. Targeting drug-tolerant bacteria in the host is critical to achieving a faster and durable cure for TB. In order to facilitate this field of research, we need to consider the physiology of persistent MTB during infection, which is often associated with the nonreplicating (NR) state. However...

How individuals navigate perspectives and attitudes that diverge from their own affects an array of interpersonal outcomes from the health of marriages to the unfolding of international conflicts. The finesse with which people negotiate these differing perceptions depends critically upon their tacit assumptions—e.g., in the bias of naïve realism people assume that their subjective construal of a situation represents objective truth. The... Читать дальше...

The non-axisymmetric problem caused by the fluid sloshing in the tank of a mining concrete mixing tank truck during driving is affected by the excitation of complex road surfaces. The fluid sloshing is coupled with the dynamics of the vehicle body due to the excitation of the complex road surface. The traditional hydraulic drive proportional integral differential (PID) control method is not effective in dealing with such problems... Читать дальше...

With the implementation of the “Rural Revitalization Strategy” in China, it is common for enterprises to go to the countryside to develop business. However, enterprises often neglect the local environmental protection in rural areas while developing the economy to pursue profits. As the end of the national administrative system and the villagers’ autonomous organization, the village committee needs to participate in monitoring enterprises’ environmental behavior.

Textbooks play a critical role in schooling around the world. Small sample studies show that many books continue to under-represent women and girls, and to portray men and women in stereotypical gendered roles. In this paper, we use quantitative text analysis to assess the degree of gender bias in a newly assembled corpus of 1,255 English language school textbooks from 34 countries that are publicly available online. We find consistent... Читать дальше...

In recent years Scotland has been experiencing a disproportionally high number of drug related deaths compared to other European countries, causing significant individual, societal and economic burden. A possible cause of this is the increase in average number of substances involved in Scottish drug related deaths, as well as the changing pattern of substances involved. Opioids, cocaine, and alcohol have been consistently involved in the culture of drug use in Scotland... Читать дальше...

BackgroundCrohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory condition primarily affecting the digestive system. When dealing with complex cases like intestinal blockages or perforations, surgery becomes the primary treatment option. However, surgery doesn’t offer a complete cure, and the possibility of recurrence remains. To manage CD recurrence after surgery, various treatment choices are available, including steroids, monoclonal antibodies, immunomodulators, and further surgery. Читать дальше...

ObjectiveThis study aimed to elucidate the effects of Hederagenin (HG) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and explore its potential molecular mechanisms.
Materials and methodsVirtual screening was employed to identify potential targets within core pathways of liver cancer and to analyze the possible mechanisms of HG. CCK-8 assays were used to assess the viability of HCC cells, while Hoechst 33342/PI staining was utilized to evaluate apoptosis. Читать дальше...

Cannabis is a gateway drug that can lead to the engagement of other substances. Psychological dysfunctioning and dependence have been highlighted as primary components to substance misuse. The purpose of this study was to investigate what aspects of cannabis use and psychological dysfunctioning are associated with the engagement of other substances and impaired driving. Subject to screening, 200 active adult cannabis users completed an online survey. Читать дальше...

IntroductionTraumatic peripheral nerve injuries pose significant challenges to healthcare systems and individuals, affecting sensory function, causing neuropathic pain, and impairing quality of life. Despite their impact, comprehensive studies on the epidemiology and regional variance of these injuries are scarce. Understanding the incidence, trends, and anatomical distribution of such injuries is essential for targeted interventions and resource allocation. Читать дальше...

BackgroundHigh-speed flow of clean water or water with sediment released from aging spillways may cause abrasion and cavitation on the concrete surface gradually. The occurrence of irregularities on the concrete surface can exacerbate the erosion problem. Which might jeopardize the safety of dams constantly, hence the rehabilitation efforts become urgent tasks in dam safety projects.
