Context: Antioxidant properties and Vitamin C.Background: Vitamin C is a naturally occurring organic compound and a potent antioxidant preventing oxidative damage to lipids and other macromolecules.It can also exhibit bimodal activity as a pro-oxidant at a higher concentration.Vitamin C has a switch over role from being an antioxidant in physiologi
Testing the performance of state-of-the-art dust emission schemes using DO4Models field data
Within the framework of the Dust Observations for Models (DO4Models) project, the performance of three commonly used dust emission schemes is investigated in this paper using a box model environment.We constrain the model with field data (surface and dust particle properties as well as meteorological parameters) obtained from a dry lake bed with a

Phytochemical Combination PB125 Activates the Nrf2 Pathway and Induces Cellular Protection against Oxidative Injury
Bioactive phytochemicals in Rosmarinus officinalis, Withania somnifera, and Sophora japonica have a long history of human use to promote health.In this study we examined the cellular effects of a combination of extracts from these plant sources based on specified levels of their carnosol/carnosic acid, withaferin A, and luteolin levels, respectivel
Security enhanced memory for quantum state
Abstract Security enhancement is important in terms of both classical and quantum Zester information.The recent development of a quantum storage device is noteworthy, and a coherence time of one second or longer has been demonstrated.On the other hand, although the encryption of a quantum bit or quantum memory has been proposed theoretically, no ex
